For his part, Gene's acting totally normal, because everything is totally normal. Mostly.
Last night had not been entirely unusual. Gene knows he's attractive; it was part of why he'd been slung around as a bed slave so often. He'd hoped that Stark was above that, but...well, at least he'd stopped? Which baffles him all the more. He can't understand that. Why had Stark stopped? Gene's his personal slave, not just his personal chef. He'd do what was asked of him - or demanded of him. Or forced on him. It was usually the last one.
But Stark had stopped.
"Is everything all right?" And he does mean everything. His tone is perfectly mild; maybe too mild. He's more subdued this morning than usual; there's not even the usual light banter.
wouldn't be tony otherwise
