[jumpthegun]

[Who have you been talking to?]

I'm not gay.

[Those words almost don't look real anymore with as often as he's had to say them.]

I dunno. I guess... Haurchefant's nice.





... Or maybe Mr. Stark?

They're both handsome, decent. Y'know?

[Insert vague, embarrassed hand gestures here.]

[redrooms]

It seems you have a type, Dr. Watson.

[jumpthegun]

Elves and superheroes?

[Just going to sass a little because he's still a little flustered.]

[redrooms]

Soft-hearted heroic types, to be specific.

[jumpthegun]

Not that bad, is it? Soft-hearted means they'll remember my birthday. Heroic means things should stay interesting. I'd like someone I can work with as a partner.

[redrooms]

Oh, I never said it was bad. Those are good things to look for.

[jumpthegun]

Are you the one who asked who I'd date, then, Ms. Romanov? Not really sure what that's telling you beyond things that'll never happen.

[redrooms]

I didn't ask, no. It's really none of my business.

[jumpthegun]

Yet here we are. [He sounds more amused than upset, and he'll offer her a wink. Okay. Getting back into his stride here after being embarrassed.] What's your type?

[redrooms]

Soft-hearted and heroic. Something we have in common.

[definingfuture]

Soft-hearted? Excuse me?

[redrooms]

Yes?

[Don't even lie, Tony.]

[definingfuture]

You need to stop talking to Dugan.

[He admits NOTHING.]

[redrooms]

Anyone with a brain could see it, Tony. It's not a bad thing.

[definingfuture]

No one here knows about us. They won't see anything.

[redrooms]

Most of them don't. You're a good person, and it's obvious. I'm complimenting you.

[definingfuture]

Should I be complimented or hurt that I was the afterthought for a not-actually-gay response?

[jumpthegun]

[Oh. Right. This is... public. Uh.

Uh......]

Well, I just haven't known you as long as Haurchefant is all. And we've had, what? One conversation. I know you better than you know me. It's just - I don't know if you'd be... [He clears his throat and licks his lips.] I mean if I were interested. It'd be weird to name off some bloke who barely knows me. I didn't want to be... weird.

[Except he named him anyway.]

I'm gonna go bury myself in some snow for a little while. Right. Off out!

[definingfuture]

Was I just named, called, and rejected all in one minute? Wow. I think that might be a record.

Well, at least you didn't throw anything at me. It was a very gentle rejection and I'll probably only cry a little bit.

[Sorry, but after that speech he can't really help himself.]

[jumpthegun]

No, that's not-!

[He knows he's being teased, and it shouldn't make him this flustered, but really. He clears his throat again, aiming to tease back.]

I wouldn't want you to cry, Mr. Stark. Conciliatory friendship, instead?

[definingfuture]

[Bless this man and his patience. It's kind of disgusting how admirable he can be.]

If friendship can heal broken hearts, I suppose I'll just have to take it.

[jumpthegun]

[Tony, you are nowhere near Sherlock levels of high maintenance. He has all the patience in the world for you.]

I'm a trauma surgeon, sir. Healing hearts is actually one of my specialties. I've got steady hands for the job, don't worry.

[Okay... so that might be a line he usually uses to chat up women. But. Right.]

[definingfuture]

[He's a differently level of trouble. He may not be high maintenance for Watson yet, but give him time.

That line is a work of art and no one can tell Tony otherwise.]

I do appreciate a set of skilled hands, but are you sure you could handle it? I hear that isn't your usual area of expertise.

[Yeah, he's having fun teasing him.]

[jumpthegun]

Well, it might take me a little while to really hit my stride, but you wouldn't be the first. Don't always know which hearts you'll be specializing in until you've worked on a few different types. Think I can still handle something like yours.

Especially for friendship.

[Look at him just bringing that back around to not being entirely flirting.]

[definingfuture]

[Okay, that is just too much. Tony actually laughs, a short bark of sudden amusement at the audacity of the whole thing.]

You think you can handle me until you can't. I'm warning you, doctor, that is a dangerous road. Others have tried. Good people.

[The smile might be a little forced, but with his energy still high, who can tell?]

Friendship is the worst lure of all.
