Friends are the roses of life;

WHO: Arthur Kirkland and Tony Stark
TONE: General - Introspection, probably snark, possible mild angst
RATING: G
WHEN: September 5th, night
WHERE: Slytherin common room
WHAT: Arthur wakes up after a nightmare, and finds Tony sitting up in the common room. Talking ensues.
STATUS: Ongoing

---

Arthur woke up with a start and a choked off gasp, the kind that only someone well practised in holding in the first yelp after a nightmare can make. He breathed out slowly, rather glad to find that Eriq was, for once, sound asleep and not watching him, and when it became quite clear after a few minutes that he wasn't going to be able to get back to sleep, he shoved the covers back and got up, pulling on his dressing gown and quietly leaving the dorm room with a book in his hand.

The Slytherin dorms always had a strange chill and it was more noticeable at night. He was wishing he'd put on some socks as he padded near-silently up to the common room, intent on curling up next to the fire until he felt like he could sleep again. It was with no small amount of surprise that he realised he wasn't alone.

".. Stark? What are you doing up?"

Tony sat in the middle of a large couch, cross legged with a large text and a note book in his lap. Wearing only a black plan t-shirt and jeans, clearly he hadn't even been to bed. He doesn't look up from the tome in his lap, his voice sounding distant. The reply was clearly not getting a large amount of his attention.

"I thought I would recreate the Mona Lisa using only kiwi fruit and an oxy acetylene touch. What do you think so far?"

He looks up at him. Clearly not doing what he claimed, then gave a quick glance to his watch.

"I'm not tired, why else would I be up?"

"For others maybe. I'm just not tired."

As Arthur shuffles into the room, Tony returns to the book. He flips through a page and then takes notes.

"I am an early riser, I only sleep maybe four hours a night... If I remember."

He doesn't take his eyes off what he's writing, keeping a tight focus on his pens movement.
arrogantalloy: (T: 024 Really sticking with that huh)

"I've always been like this. It's really not a big deal."

He looks up and over at Arthur, as if actually looking at him properly for the first time tonight.

"Guide to Advanced Transfiguration. Nice dressing gown and jammies, how are you not on a runway in Milan?"
arrogantalloy: (T: 030 I can smile when I want)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2012-09-05 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, sure. That just has to be the reason."

Tony watches him for a moment.

"Please tell me David is a brother, and this isn't some kind of creepy lost love thing. Because if it is I'm going to charm Bruce's clothes so he can't take them off outside our dorm room."

Tony, getting the feeling that talking is going to continue closes the book with the notebook inside.
arrogantalloy: (T: 007 Eh heh.)

"Still kind of creepy, but in a different way."

Tony drops the book down beside him and gets more comfortable in the couch.

"When you're bother, believe me. I'll let you know"
arrogantalloy: (T: 027 be serious)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2012-09-14 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well a shirt and jeans that's not so bad, but pajamas? Well, the question I should be asking is; do you wear underwear to bed? Did your brother?"

Tony watches Arthur lazily.

"What creative process? I'm reading a semester ahead."
arrogantalloy: (T: 016 Puppy look)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2012-09-14 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Just saying, there's a reason you don't find underwear in thrift stores. And you wash them like you wash pajamas. But hey, if you're comfortable with it, it's not like I can judge you for it or anything.

And technically no. I have people who do wash them, though."

Tony then looks a little curious.

"Aren't finding it all that easy?"
arrogantalloy: (T: 016 Puppy look)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2012-09-15 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, what are you having trouble with. I could help?"

Tony stretches himself out on the couch.
arrogantalloy: (T: 015 Yeah you know that's wrong)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2012-09-17 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, so just the whole topic. Anyone else, it would be hard to teach. Luckily, I'm not anyone else."

He sits up a bit, looking interested.

"You've got the basics down, right?"
arrogantalloy: (T: 011 slight grin)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2012-09-17 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Or, you're just mispronouncing something or not thinking straight when you do it. It's not like charms where you just need diction and a good wrist flick. You've got to be able to focus on what you're doing."

Tony shrugs a little
arrogantalloy: (T: 024 Really sticking with that huh)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2012-09-18 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Huh."

Tony sits there and muses.

"That's actually interesting. If you want during a free period we can work on it together if you want. Because I want to see that and well. I don't know how eager you are to practice in you're jimjams"
arrogantalloy: (T: 021 Not listening to that)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2012-09-20 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Well. Both. I mean, how can I help you with your problem if I don't know where you're going wrong?"

Tony doesn't look like he's taking the mickey, because he really isn't for a change.
arrogantalloy: (T: 004 Your full of shit)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2012-09-21 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Just name a time and date. And I'll be there"

Tony cuts off quickly and thinks for a moment.

"Actually, tell Bruce. He doesn't lose track of time"

He scratches the back of his head for a moment.
