[vereinigt]

He gives a small yelp at the loving abuse. But he gets the idea. He lifts his hands to push the hoodie off his brother's shoulders. Let's get more comfortable, brother.

[garantundkraft]

After another light tug, he released his brother's mouth and sat up to shrug his hoodie the rest of the way off; red cotton sliding easily down his arms. Though, it took a somewhat undignified wriggle to get the bulky garment off his wrists.

Gilbert shoved the hoodie off to one side. ...Then he grabbed it back and folded it properly, then shoved it off to one side. Better. Where was he? Oh, yes. Playing with his brother.

His fingers found one of Lud's nipples and pinched hard, pulled at the little nub. Perhaps he was being a little sadistic right now... but he was really tempted to dig out a box of sex toys. Surely he had nipple clamps in one of them...

[vereinigt]

He would be surprised that his brother's sex toys included nipple clamps. He only saw those in his DVDs and magazines. He wouldn't mind trying them, though.

"Brother..." he gives a slight groan at the touch. Yes, he liked it rough, strange for an Alpha.

[garantundkraft]

He would probably be surprised by many of the toys Gilbert owns. He even has a knotting dildo. Which he intends to use on Lud at some point. "Yeah? You want more? I can give you more if you can be patient…" He used his other hand to repeat the abuse on the other side of Lud's chest.

[vereinigt]

He actually wouldn't mind the knotting dildo, mostly because he thought his brother was an Alpha for years and had been attracted to him even before finding out his brother was an Omega, and had sometimes imagined being knotted by his brother.

"Brother, please," already begging, yep, "wanted you all day."

[seesobserves]

[Sherlock takes only a brief look around.]

Reptiles?

[It is closer than the butterfly house.]

[thetruthismine]

Reptiles.

[Jane says nothing of the nearly-empty zoo, and his lips spread. He really does like Sherlock quite a bit at times like this. He walks along the pathway just a little closer to Sherlock than normal, and pulls the door for him once they arrive at the new exhibit.

He'll wait to see how Sherlock reacts to all the various creatures and lack of interruptions.]

[peckish4action]

Mmm.

*Oh, he liked that. Every bit but the initial tensing, that was, and that - thankfully - faded quickly enough. He settled into his husband's hold, kissing back, and then nuzzling at his chin sleepily. Smiling a little.*

Not exactly? More like, I've gotten used to sleeping with you. but I don't mind. Not right now.

*his hand came up, stroking the fine hair at the back of Wally's neck.*

Everything okay?

[garantundkraft]

Oh, he knew that. It was less a matter of Ludwig minding it and more a matter of Gilbert needing to get past his own issues first. (Like the fact that he wanted to be able to knot Ludwig himself, or that part of him wanted Ludwig to end up hating that even though he certainly enjoyed being taken otherwise...)

"Awesome! Then you can wait a few minutes longer. Kesesese~!" He laughed as he got off of Ludwig and exited the nest. He could be heard quietly sing-songing about sex toys...

[vereinigt]

Was his brother seriously getting toys? Yes, that seemed to be the case. Now did he want to stay here in the nest or did he want his bed? Well, it would be easier to do anything undressed. So he got up and followed his brother, pulling off his clothes and folding them in his arms as he moved.

[chestboard]

You guessed it!

[he places it on her hand.]

Go on, open it.

[it's a ....stuffed bear of course....]

[tsunball]

Don't call me Leon-chaaaaan! [ It's a long whine, but at least it seems to replace his other whining for a moment as he attempts to gently put his foot down again.. ;; that did hurt, okay, even if it was a really dumb action! Forgive him, waifu.. ]

And I'm fine, just fine!! I'm a tough guy, you know that!

[ sure, Leon, and the sky is green. ]

[idolizer]

Hmm? But you usually like it when I call you that. [ More like, he almost never complained about it. Poor puppy, he must be really unnerved right now! Ok, she's got some time to scoot over and kneel by the couch, reaching over to ruffle his hair a bit. ]

I know that, but I wonder if you need a kiss to make it better?

[therealgenius]

"Well, was there anything else you were interested in?"

Justin can't think of anything else, and after talking about scorpions and geisha and jungle cat balls, he's realizing he's a lot hungrier than he thought he was. Not that he's starving, far from it, but there's a bit of a craving there that will be satisfied by fish and rice, not human flesh and the blood of a still beating heart. It might be odd to some that Justin could watch a zombie movie and carry on a full conversation about it while eating just about anything, but as a weapons designer, Justin has seen a lot. He hasn't watched human bodies torn apart thanks to his weapons, but he's shot enough mannequins to have a higher threshold for gore than most people.

"If not, we could just go back, take the price tags off, stretch them out so they don't feel stiff whenever you actually wear them."

[manofiron]

"At the moment, you and dinner are all I want."

There's no one in the immediate vicinity that could hear him, but he keeps his voice down anyway. There's no reason to be unnecessarily loud, and being quiet reduces the possibility that he might be overheard at any point.

"So no, we can head back. The mall's not going anywhere. It'll be here tomorrow." He glances over, not willing to make definitive plans without being damn certain that they're plans Justin is completely behind. He can be spoiled rich billionaire who gets his way all the time with other people, but he's not going to be like that with Justin. For over half a year, he's been avoiding his usual shitty behavior. He intends to keep it up indefinitely. "That okay with you?"

[therealgenius]

Were Justin to be told that he was the influence in Tony's life that had helped curb a good deal of his more...uncouth...habits, he wouldn't really know how to feel. He'd feel manipulative, as though he'd been quietly and subtly demanding him to change as opposed to just letting him be who he was around Justin. He seemed to be himself around him enough, however, that that would be illogical. It would take a bit of head hunting before he wrapped his mind around the fact of the matter that he wasn't the only one with a bit of influence. Around Tony, Justin felt more like a human and less like a rich guy who ran a company and helped the government. He felt less like he should get out of bed in the morning and immediately put on a three-piece suit. He felt less like he should ignore Wal-Mart and go to the nearest brand store for some socks he just intended on beating around the house in. He felt less like a caricature of an executive and more real.

"That's fine with me. They said it'd be like a half hour at the most...so I'm assuming that's twenty-five minutes because oh my God he's paying double for each of them I bet the tip will be amazing. People get their shit together and move at the speed of sound when they hear cash registers clanging in their heads."

[manofiron]

The persona has been a part of Tony’s life for so long that there are moments when he believes – truly, undeniably believes – that he’s nothing more than the arrogant, vapid asshole that he pretends to be. The longer he goes without dropping it, the more he’s required to be in front of people, pandering to their erroneous perception of him, the harder it is to remember who he is. But he’s found that with Justin, it isn’t hard to let it go and just be Tony, the brilliant, slightly eccentric, nerdy guy who can’t remember to eat, lives on coffee, prefers jeans and t-shirts and ratty cargo pants to three-piece designer suits, and who has deeper connections with robots than he does with flesh and blood people. He doesn’t have to put on an act.

It’s one of the most liberating feelings he’s ever experienced. But that isn’t why he cares for Justin the way that he does. That’s just a side-effect, the first good one his life choices have offered in years.

“It’s kind of sad, isn’t it? Lucky for us, sad commentary on the rest of the world.” He isn’t about to get maudlin about consumerism, though. It’s how his family made the Stark fortune in the first place. Besides, the way the day’s going, there isn’t anything to be unhappy about. “Did you volunteer to pay double or is that what they asked to deliver it?”

[therealgenius]

"I volunteered."

Justin doesn't need people to wheedle money out of him, particularly when they're people who are doing something different for him. Double the original price with a tip that can be given to the entire on-duty staff equally—it's fair. It's more than fair. It's one of the best things about his fortune, being able to get whatever he want whenever he wants it. He doesn't abuse the privilege of it all, but it's nice to have that sort of thing to fall back on when he does need to abuse some dollar signs.

"Double plus tip for everyone on duty. What else am I going to do with billions, right? Might as well make some people pretty happy whenever they get off."

Maybe Justin should buy Tiger Sushi, too.

"Maybe I should buy Tiger Sushi, too."

[manofiron]

He has to smile at that. Once upon a time, he’d tried to paint Justin as an incompetent asshole, but the truth is that he’s neither incompetent nor an asshole. He’s one of the most considerate, generous people Tony knows, and the Vanko incident notwithstanding, he’s a good man. He’s fair and kind and he takes the opinions of other people into consideration both at work and outside of it.

“Christmas came early for those guys. They’re lucky we’re in town, huh?” Not quite as lucky as Tony feels, but it’s still something. “Do you want Tiger Sushi? I mean, do you ever come out here to Minnesota? It might be a pain, running a company out here from California.”

He shrugs. “Although hey, what do I know? I thought it was a pain running my company from forty minutes down the road.”

[therealgenius]

"Well, I wouldn't run it so much as own it. You know, pay the lease and whatnot, have people in town run it themselves. I'm not sure if Tiger Sushi does that, but...well, we went over the money thing already."

Justin's not always considerate and generous with anything but his money. The first woman who effectively broke his heart (or whatever they'd call it when one was too young to drink and yet believed they knew what love was) had established an idea in his mind: it's all about the money. Once he'd hit his first million, he noticed that idea to be a reality, which was one of the big reasons behind the only other woman who mattered leaving him behind. Considerate and generous he could do, but when he had a job like his, it was all too easy to fall back on work in order to get out seeing each other.

But Tony understood that Justin wasn't falling back on work, didn't start snooping in his phone and his computer on the off-chance that he was sending dirty, cheating messages to someone he'd never met. Tony understood (somewhat) the time required to run a company, and he didn't butt in about it. It was easy to be considerate and generous when someone was considerate and generous to him, and that he hadn't come across as frigid and bleak was really quite a feat.

There's a couple already going out the door, and the man holds it open for the people behind them. If they notice it's Tony Stark or not, well, that's their problem.

Justin's hoping for the best.

[notasoldier]

[Tony just looks at Steve for a moment before shaking his head slightly.] Nothing.

[His smile looses a little bit of it's edge.] I mean, just be... you. And eat more of this pizza.

[Pause.] And when we're done. I might need you to take off all your clothes. [He raises his eyebrows.] You asked. That last one especially, always makes me feel better.

[manofiron]

Tony has relatively little idea how running a restaurant works. He assumes that it’s like a company, only with managers and assistant mangers and chefs and waitstaff. Perhaps even bartenders, if the place has a bar. As for how involved the owner of such an establishment might have to be, he has no clue. But Justin does own a Starbucks. Maybe a Tiger Sushi isn’t really all that different.

“You already have a Starbucks, right? I don’t see a problem with adding a sushi joint the list. And being out here, it probably does really good business. I say if you want it, buy it.” Everybody has a price. Tony has no doubt that Justin could afford the price of Tiger Sushi’s current owners.

The people in front of him hold the door and he steps up to get it without giving it any thought. “Thanks,” he says, giving the man a nod and a smile before stepping to the side and holding it for Justin. If they recognize him, they recognize him. Tony isn’t going to neglect courtesy simply because he’s worried about being recognized.

[notasoldier]

[Is there anything hotter than Captain America taking his jacket off slowly? Tony doesn't think so. At least not until she tosses it at Tony and then follows suit with his shirt. Tony smiles widely, his eyes moving over the expanse of Steve's chest as he nods.]

Well, it's a start.

[And okay, that smirk is doing things to Tony that he can't really define. He swallows, handing Steve's clothes to an attendant before nodding towards the beach.]

Beach it is.

[therealgenius]

If he's recognized, it doesn't go noticed. If Justin had no faith in humanity, he'd feel it being renewed. Nothing past a mmhmm and a nod, no Tony Stark!? Will you sign my wife's tits!?, no pictures, no flashing a Captain America shield tattoo. Nothing. Just courtesy and politeness and...God, he's hungrier than he thought. Owning a Tiger Sushi doesn't sound so bad. He might be able to get them to open a third in Maine of all fucking places. He'll have to get in touch with Mister King first, see if he's got a love for it in order to make sure they'd never be dry if Justin was out of town for oh, say, a month.

"Yeah, but Starbucks is everywhere. Tiger Sushi is just here. I don't know if I could interest them in a third place in Malibu, but...could be worth a look. Later. After New Year's. It's not all that important at the moment, after all."

Which was as simple as he could say All yours without outright saying it.

[manofiron]

Were Tony to be asked to sign anyone’s tits, the answer would be no. He’d be polite about it, he would smile and shake his head and offer to sign a piece of paper instead. But he wouldn’t take advantage of the opportunity to see, and perhaps get a feel, of some woman’s chest. Not simply out of a courtesy to Justin, though that would definitely be a factor, but also because he would have no desire to do it.

“Damn right later.” Glancing at him askance, Tony smirks. “We need to find out if it’s good first. No sense in buying a restaurant if the food is terrible, right?”

There’s time. Plenty of it. Guys like them have all the time in the world, in some respects, and Tony isn’t in much of a hurry. It’s easy to live in the moment when he’s actually happy in it.

“It’s sushi, though. That’s hard to screw up. I’m sure it’ll be great." And now he's joking, both the smile and the slight nudge with his elbow is evidence of that. "Then I’ll want one too.”
