gbpp: (you have reached the life model decoy)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-06-25 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. That's-- bordering weird. Stop that.

[personal profile] trustinthedevil 2016-06-26 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
What's weird? Saying you're nice? You're right, that's unsettling.
gbpp: (Default)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-06-26 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You've got no idea.

[Compliments aren't easy when they're personal like this.]

Milk?
trustinthedevil: (Default)

[personal profile] trustinthedevil 2016-06-28 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Cream, if you have it. But milk's fine, or nothing. I'm not hard to please.
gbpp: (sure)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-06-28 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like it.

[He's back - with cream, because that's just the kind of guy he is. Two cups of coffee, and he drops in across from Matt.]

Sugars there too.

[personal profile] trustinthedevil 2016-06-29 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
There are worse things to be. [Sugar stirred in, Matt takes a long, grateful sip. He's not a morning person.] Just us? Or did I miss everyone?
gbpp: (Default)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-06-29 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Mn.

[He doesn't have the time to say anything else, not the inclination. Matt is good to watch, even if it has to be from afar.]

It's just the two of us on this floor.
trustinthedevil: (036)

[personal profile] trustinthedevil 2016-06-29 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
And no one else gets to be invited? How elitist.

[His lips quirk up and he lets out an amused sound. But bacon is calling his name, so further comment will have to wait.]
gbpp: (Default)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-06-29 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Must be a pretty weird feeling for you.

[Honestly, it was less out of a sense of elite and far more in the hope that they could... Talk more, and openly, too.]
trustinthedevil: (Default)

[personal profile] trustinthedevil 2016-06-29 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. I'm pretty used to being alone. [Which sounds way sadder than he meant it.] I just mean I don't mind the quiet.
gbpp: (Default)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-06-29 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
I feel like I should be taking offence to both those things.
trustinthedevil: (001)

[personal profile] trustinthedevil 2016-06-29 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. Don't take it too personally.
gbpp: (Default)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-06-29 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
You're kidding, right? [He actually sighs, follows it with a low chuckle and decides there and then to try this mysterious not taking it personal thing.]

Next time I'll make sure everyone else is hanging around, too.
trustinthedevil: (Default)

[personal profile] trustinthedevil 2016-06-29 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Do I look like I'm kidding?

[It's hard to deadpan when you can't make direct eye contact. But Matt laughs, shrugging.] No, this is good. Not every day someone gets to have a private breakfast with Tony Stark. Definitely not every day someone gets their coffee made by Tony Stark.
gbpp: (calm yourself)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-06-29 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
So, you're just using me? That's what you're saying?

[It's a cute look Matt. The attempt at deadpan humour when he's-- not quite looking directly into his eyes. It has him letting out a heavy sigh which was meant to brush all his extra-curricular thoughts aside, but it's doing nothing of the sort.]
trustinthedevil: (Default)

[personal profile] trustinthedevil 2016-06-29 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
You're pretty good at twisting words. If the scientist thing doesn't work for you, you should get into law.
gbpp: (Default)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-06-29 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't want to undermine you.

[And a whole host of other things. Court rooms and boring, and he's not known for his capacity for showing respect.]
trustinthedevil: (Default)

[personal profile] trustinthedevil 2016-06-29 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd hire you. Murdock and Stark. Not so bad.
gbpp: (Default)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-06-29 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
You couldn't afford me.

[It's said with a smirk, and one he'd learnt by now that Matthew would be able to read, even if he didn't see it.]

There's one slice of bacon left, are you taking that, too?
trustinthedevil: (Default)

[personal profile] trustinthedevil 2016-06-29 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Ouch.

[But Matt selflessly nudges the bacon over to Tony. He's earned that last piece of bacon. Probably.]
gbpp: (explanations please)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-06-29 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
You were living on chocolate brownies before me.

[He'll take that last slice, eat it too - before there's an opportunity to take the offer back. Sorry, Matt.]
trustinthedevil: (Default)

[personal profile] trustinthedevil 2016-06-29 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Living might not be the best word to use.

[It's a joke. Mostly. Matt's smart enough with money to keep the essentials going. But beyond that, it's a pretty bare life.]
gbpp: (Default)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-06-29 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you should take me up on the offer.

[Okay, he knows Matt's blind - but he still can't quite bring himself to look at the guy now.

Rejection never suited him well.]
trustinthedevil: (044)

[personal profile] trustinthedevil 2016-06-30 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, Tony. I'm not sure this is really the life for me. This is all a bit more ... Global than I think I'm ready for.
gbpp: (Default)

[personal profile] gbpp 2016-07-01 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[and there it is.

He takes a deep breath, follows it with a heavy sigh, and leans back in his seat to stare at Matt. If he knows anything about the guy, he knows he'll be able to sense his stare.]


Just how long is it going to take until you're ready for it?
