That's just my face, Tony, I don't know what to tell you.

[hottestofmesses]

Well your face was looking at my face all night. And it makes me feel better to know it wasn't your usual general stare of disapproval, apparently just your casual usual stare, but I would like to know why there was staring at all.

[noshavenomad]

I don't stare at you in disapproval. I frown. There's more in the eyebrows with frowning. Maybe I just have resting patriot face.

I thought you liked attention? You complain when I ignore you, you complain when I don't...

[hottestofmesses]

With all that frowning and disapproval you are so lucky you can't get wrinkles. You know that?

It depends on what kind of attention. And "complain" is a very strong word.

[noshavenomad]

What can I say, Dr. Erskine does great work.

[ He can joke about that, right? Right. ]

You just...looked happy, that's all. Genuinely. It was nice to see.

[hottestofmesses]

Definitely a case of good scientist, good subject. That face has always been yours. And it's a great face to not have lines.

[Sure. Just like that's a joke too right? Tony's usual at least.]

Really? And me being happy held your attention from across the room all night?

[noshavenomad]

You're my friend, I try to appreciate when they're in a good mood.


Also you had a fleck of salt or sugar from one of the non scotch cocktails you had just- hanging out on your mustache. I kept waiting for someone to say something.

[hottestofmesses]

Friend, he says, and then tells me I had something in my moustache all night and pointedly didn't say anything. Unbelievable.

[noshavenomad]

I kept thinking someone else would speak up! You know my vision's enhanced, it's possible no one else noticed.

Except Clint, he definitely noticed and also didn't say anything.

[hottestofmesses]

You're a menace, you know that? Now the next ten times we hang out I'm gonna be touching my face uncontrollably.

Clint is Clint. I don't expect him to say something I expect him to make fun of me. I expect you to be the one with friendly decency.

[noshavenomad]

You're also the one telling me to lighten up and loosen up, this is me light and loose.

...I'll mention it next time, no need to feel yourself up all night.

[hottestofmesses]

Oh. I see. This is my fault. Typical.

Well who knows. Maybe you'd like watching that, too.

[noshavenomad]

Yes, I'd love to spend my night watching you feel yourself up, that really does it for me. That'll blow my wig. Oh baby.

[hottestofmesses]

See this is you. So who knows if you're being serious or not. It's very hard to tell.

[noshavenomad]

You do remember that it was illegal back in my day, right? Making time with a man. Hell, making eyes at one, even.

[hottestofmesses]

Luckily for us we seem to be in a different year, far in the future, last I checked. You can do whatever you want. Which includes not making up excuses about ancient history rather than just telling me you're not into that. Which I assume is what you'd actually do if that were true. But. What do I know?

[noshavenomad]

What, so you're allowed to evade a personal or inappropriate inquiry, but I'm not? That's a little hypocritical don't you think?

Look, I lived back then longer than I've lived here and now. I'm adjusting. And I don't want to stroke your ego.

[hottestofmesses]

What thing are you holding onto that I've already forgotten?

That's fine. I'm not here to make you do anything you don't want to. But word to the wise, if you don't wanna stroke my ego, don't stare at me all night next time. For any and all happiness or unkept moustache reasons. Or do and we'll meet back up again right here same time same place.

[noshavenomad]

I think it's 'when was the last time you slept', and I got an earful of what you'd been working on and need to work on rather than an answer.

[ Which, fair, not really a question he likes answering either. ]

Fine, I'll spend the night looking anywhere else, maybe stare at Thor or Bruce instead.

[hottestofmesses]

Just assume whenever you ask that question it's been a couple days. Also. I do need to work on stuff. It's not like I'm lying.

Both handsome men, who could blame you? But when you inevitably end up staring at me anyway, maybe I'll just stare back. And we'll see where that gets us instead.

[noshavenomad]

No, I know you're busy and there aren't enough hours in the day, but I worry. Don't make me start replacing all the grounds with decaf, I'll do it.

An awkward staring contest? Pretty sure you'll blink first.

[hottestofmesses]

You would be immensely sorry if you did. You think you've seen me when I'm grouchy, just wait until I'm working with a caffeine migraine. I'll burn everything to the ground.

Am I going to take the bait like a seven year old and say "you're on"?

Yes. Yes I am.

Challenge accepted.

[noshavenomad]

Alright, no touching the grounds, got it. But if you hit day three without sleep, let me know so I can watch you work. You make the best gesture model when you're on a sleep deficit that deep.

Oh darn, an excuse to stare into your eyes- they're hard to get right, you know? How are you your age and have eyelashes like that?

[hottestofmesses]

Careful there, Cap, or you'll start giving me a complex. How am I supposed to operate knowing you just stare at me and draw me all the time? Eyelash compliments and secrets aside, which unfortunately are very proprietary information that I just can't divulge. Not that you need a hand from me. Yours definitely deserve their own praise. You do a lot of self portrait work?

[noshavenomad]

What do you think I'm doing when you let me spend time in your lab? I have at least two sketchbooks devoted to the faces you make at Dum-E alone.

Not really. I've seen enough of my own mug to be tired of it.
