Atlas Gym, Sunday After Fight Club

[tyler_gone]

After the last of the fighters had trickled out, the gym was ... peaceful.

Peacefulish, anyhow.

Could you really blame Tyler if he took a moment to lie down on a mat, going over the night's matches and tomorrow's lesson plan in his mind? He'd finish cleaning the space up later.

Really.

Which was, of course, the perfect time for Tony to com by and see him. Because he needed to see if the flowers were received.

"Tyler," He said, nudging him with his toe.

[tyler_gone]

Tyler reached up and grabbed the ankle without opening his eyes. "Yes?"

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

He was just lucky that Tony didn't topple over at that. "Are you going to be here all night?"

[tyler_gone]

No.

"Maybe," he lied. "Until the tall Russian guy kicks me out, anyhow."

... he was totally smiling.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Does that happen a lot?" Tony wasn't going to ask about anyone Russian, thank you. Just because they made up half the modeling industry...

[tyler_gone]

"He runs the place. Probably has to close up." Tyler finally sat up. "So ... what brings you by?"

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"I can't just happen by the gym?" Tony asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

[tyler_gone]

"Sure. Public gym," Tyler said, mirroring the posture. "You were gonna work out in those jeans?"

It was truly amazing how much of their relationship was made up of bickering.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"It was a possibility." No. No it was not, Tony. "Did you get the flowers?"

[tyler_gone]

"I did," Tyler said, and decided to actually be nice. "You sent them yourself. They were nice. Thank you."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Well. It's not like Pepper is around to do it." That was Tony Stark for 'YAY'.

[tyler_gone]

"You have better taste in flowers than she did." A beat. "And you end them the right week."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Tony just grinned and shrugged. "My place tonight?"

[tyler_gone]

"You think I'll put out because you sent me flowers?"

He so would. Even without the flowers.

"Should I pick up some wine too?" Tony asked, pulling him closer. "Maybe some candles?"

[tyler_gone]

And that was basically asking Tyler to grab Tony's ass, really. "I'd settle for a beer and turning the lights out."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"No chocolate covered strawberries and champagne?" Tony asked, giving him a look of mock hurt.

[tyler_gone]

"If you bring up lingerie we're breaking up," Tyler said, and bent his head down for a kiss.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Deal," Tony replied, kissing him back easily.

[tyler_gone]

Tyler continued the kiss, bringing his hands around to Tony's hips as he tried to guide him toward the door.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Someone--" Tony moved along with him, pulling back to speak before kissing him again. "--is eager."

[tyler_gone]

A moment later, and it was Tyler's turn to pull back. "Someone wanted to see you."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Be still my heart."

This was romantic for them. It was a special sort of romance.

Tony paused for a moment, frowning.

[tyler_gone]

Yeah, they were ... acting sort of like a normal couple. It was weird and didn't bear too much thinking about.

Tyler blinked and paused at the frown.

"What?"

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

He knew this feeling. He knew it from twice before.

"Mother fu--"

And then there was a disgruntled pony there before he could complete the swear. Poor, poor Tony.

[tyler_gone]

Tyler would finish that swear.

And add a couple more. He had an extensive vocabulary, and a few words had to be devoted to how very much he wasn't getting laid tonight.

"Weekend. In. Bed. once this wears off," he said, leading the pony toward the exit. "Do you wanna stay at the loft or my place."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Tony trotted after him, bumping his head against Tyler's leg. As long as he got something to drink, he would be happy.

And this sure as hell better wear off soon.
