--

After some classes, Tony comes up to the dorm room, opening the door he goes over to his bed putting his book bag on it before picking up a magazine then heads over to Bruce's bed and flops on it, opening up to the last page he was up to and starts reading after getting good and comfortable on his boyfriends bed.

That thought alone made him smile to himself.

Comments

[arrogantalloy]

"Please, Sherlock is trying too prove to John, that he's asexual. And Herbert get's uncomfortable glancing at himself in the mirror while he's running his hand through his hair."

In saying that he runs his own hand through his hair.

"So I'm not allowed to show I care, when ever anyone is around?"

There's a moments pause.

"Wait, when you say 'worse'?"

[greenmoonrising]

Bruce shook his head and clarified, "Kissing. Because I'm not letting you do much more than that."

He settled on the bed next to Tony and answered slowly, "I don't mind being close in private but... I'm not keen on putting on a show for others. So if you're going to sleep in my bed, maybe tone down the cuddling until lights out and curtains drawn so we can save Sherlock and Herbert the eyesore."

[arrogantalloy]

He can't stop himself from pouting at the sound of not being able to do much with Bruce past kissing, however doesn't push the issue.

He glances at him as he sits next to him.

"Well, I don't care about what Herbert thinks, but I guess I can agree with not wanting Sherlock to see. He might... Study us and the fact he kind of does it now is creepy enough. How about if we have a spot?"

He fidgets with the hem of his shirt, as he's never comfortable unless his hands are doing something or hidden in his pockets. How ever he is trying to be good and not touch Bruce at this moment.

[greenmoonrising]

Noting how Tony's hands were fidgeting, Bruce reached out and grasped one of them in his own. "A spot could be nice. Got any in mind?"

[arrogantalloy]

Looking down at the hand he curls his fingers around the older boys hand.

"Behind the one ey- Actually. No. Out by the standing stones leading to the grounds keepers hut? No one really hangs around there. Or up near the astrology tower when classes aren't running."

So maybe he had a few in mind.

[greenmoonrising]

"Given this a lot of thought?" he asked, chuckling quietly. "But hey, we have options. So, are we in agreement?"

[arrogantalloy]

"Some thought, maybe." He gives an awkward little grin. "So, I can still kiss you when no one's around, and I can still sleep in your bed?"

[greenmoonrising]

"So long as you don't touch me or make any couple-related comments- essentially, if you want to stay on my bed, you have to behave like you did before we got together."

[arrogantalloy]

"This is sounding weirdly restrictive."

But he shrugs, because at least he doesn't have to leave Bruce's bed.

"So, you just want me to keep sleeping on you like you're a comfortable body pillow? Well, I think I can manage that. But only until the curtains are closed, right?"

[greenmoonrising]

"Pretty much, yeah."

[arrogantalloy]

"Alright, well, yeah. Sure. That I can deal with."

With a glance towards the door, Tony gives Bruce's hand a squeeze before leaning in and kissing his cheek.

"Because we're alone."

[greenmoonrising]

Blinking, Bruce flushed a bit and ducked his head to hide the small smile on his lips. Squeezing Tony's hand, he listened for anyone coming and leaned close to kiss him on the lips.

[arrogantalloy]

Tony's eyes stay open for a moment when he's kissed then he closes them. Nibbling at his top lip a little awkwardly, as they aren't in the best of best of positions for kissing, not that Tony is even remotely discouraged by this.

[greenmoonrising]

Bruce smiled into the kiss and lightly sucked on Tony's upper lip before pulling away again. "Thanks."

[arrogantalloy]

"Thanks? But, we've barely started.'

Tony raises an eyebrow curiously at him.

[greenmoonrising]

"For listening and not just ignoring what I asked for," he clarified with a small laugh, shaking his head.

[arrogantalloy]

"Well, to be fair, this conversation hasn't had a chance to be completely ended yet. That and you promised me dark corners and the occasional locked door, and petting."

Tony gives him a casual grin.

[greenmoonrising]

"I never said yes to petting so you can put that out of your mind unless you're talking about head-pats."

[arrogantalloy]

He raises an eyebrow then gestures between them.

"Are you sure, because I think I heard it mentioned, early on in the discussion? No?"

[greenmoonrising]

"I definitely didn't, you're imagining things."

[arrogantalloy]

"Maybe it was just something you said in passing, and can't remember?"

He know's he's fighting a losing battle, but hey, sometimes you have to give it the good old college try.

[greenmoonrising]

"Sorry Tony, doesn't happen with me," he answered with a smirk.

[arrogantalloy]

Tony sighs, a little defeatedly.

"Okay, fine. It's a now from you with the petting. But at least there's still kissing and couple-things to do."

[greenmoonrising]

"I'm not petting you either," he answered with a quiet chuckle, bumping his shoulder against Tony's with a fond smile. "But you're right, we still have kissing and other 'couple-things' we can do."

[arrogantalloy]

"Not even on my head. Like this one?" He gestures to his the head on his shoudlers, before leaning against the shoulder that bumps his.

"I guess as long as I have those I guess I can deal with not being overly lovey-dovey in public. Though really, don't really think I was planing to do any of that anyway really. Well, in here would have been different I guess. I mean, I'm never going to hide that I'm with you, but really I have better things to do than let it be anyone else's business."

He thinks for a minute.

"Unless of course someone hits on you and see's it. That doesn't count then, right?"
