74 Godiva Street, AKA Tamsin and Death's Home Of More Alcohol Than Last Year, Saturday Evening

[fjordicswagger]

Okay, this party had been born out of actual need (for alcohol and getting laid) last year; this year, those factors weren't as urgent for Tamsin, who figured she could always drop in on Jessica or Mike if the night was a spectacular failure.

But hell, it'd been fun last time. Why the hell not?

There were black sheets hanging in front of the windows again, and pillows and sheets scattered all over the floor to make for little makeshift sitting spaces and nooks. There was an empty bottle (in case someone decided to play Spin the Bottle) sitting somewhere in the middle of the room, and in a fit of generosity Tamsin had thoughtfully supplied a bunch of bags of chips in case people wanted to eat stuff.

The glitter clinging to the sheets and the walls and whatnot: not her fault. Who'd ever heard of impromptu localized glitter storms before? At least the winds had died down well before the party actually started, but there was no way in hell she was vacuuming all that stuff up.

There. Party time.

Well, it was better than 'hey you' or 'Mr. Stark' if you asked Tony.

"Wow, so many flashbacks to college here," Tony said, taking the bottle because it would just be rude not to. He took a swig and then made a face. "Yep, college."

"Tastes like burning," Sparkle agreed, grinning. He'd already been into it himself, okay? Now everything was pleasantly cinnamon-flavoured. "There's cider, too, if you'd rather mix something."

Sparkle was thoughtful that way.

"Or, you know, drink something else, but either way, you need to do something to get that pout off your face."

Sparkle was also taking a seat, because right here in the shadows was as good a place as any, okay?

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[imafuturist]

Tony graciously moved over to make room for Sparkle to sit and share his god awful alcohol. "I wasn't pouting." He totally was.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[myownface]

"And I totally believe you," Sparkle replied without missing a beat. "So, what was it you weren't pouting about, then?"

The question made sense if you were tipsy. Or if you were Sparkle, even sober.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[imafuturist]

Well, it made Tony snort at least.

"I was not pouting because this year I've spent my week sexually frustrated." Did that help?

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[myownface]

"That's as good a reason as any to not pout," Sparkle mused. "I mean, I might be totally not drinking for basically the same reason."

Totally not drinking. You could tell, by how he was making a grab for the Fireball so he could totally not drink some more.

"So, why in the world does a guy like you not have ladies, like, lining up to help you scratch that itch, huh?"

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

"Our esteemed mayor is sleeping with Jessica and, well, it's a little strange to sleep with the same person as a friend," Tony began. "And Sarah over there might kill me if we have sex."

It was terrible.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[myownface]

That was pretty tragic, it was true. But now Sparkle was wondering if he'd seen Sarah more naked than Tony had all week, entirely by accident.

He wasn't smirking a little, honest.

"So the trick is to find somebody just as frustrated as you are," Sparkle reasoned. "I'm sure there has to be somebody like that around."

Somebody who was leering at Tony just a little over the top of that bottle of Fireball.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[imafuturist]

Indeed he had. Damn it, Sparkle. You couldn't even appreciate it in Tony's place.

"Why, Sparkle. Who could that be?" Tony asked, biting at his lower lip in a way that made it pretty clear he was just being a terrible tease now.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[myownface]

"Well, I could tell you, but it's a secret. I'd have to whisper," Sparkle replied, leaning forward a little and appreciating the view. There was something about that lip bite that made his breath catch a little.

God, Tony was hot. Why were there not more people out there telling Tony that he was hot?

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[imafuturist]

Something about his already healthy ego probably?

Tony helpfully plucked the bottle of Fireball out of Sparkle's hand to put it on the ground, putting himself firmly into his personal space. Oops? "Yeah?"

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[myownface]

You mean Tony didn't need help to be shameless?

"Yeah," Sparkle agreed, smirking shamelessly as he leaned forward that last little bit to close the space between them. Not much space at all, at this point. And if he tilted his head like so, looking like he was going to whisper something into Tony's ear...

Well, it was all the better for nibbling a little at Tony's earlobe, instead. Wasn't it?

It was right there and nobody could blame him, dammit!

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[imafuturist]

When properly motivated? Not really. It was strange, right?

Tony helpfully tilted his head a little and put his hand on Sparkle's hip to steady him. "How much have you had to drink so far?"

Because he really didn't want to actually take advantage here.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[myownface]

Sparkle chuckled a little at that. The concern was actually kind of sweet, in a way that Sparkle never really expected people to be sweet. He appreciated it, though, leaning back and licking his lips a little.

"Enough to be flirty, not nearly enough to not know what the hell I'm doing," he promised. "I want to say 'if I was actually drunk, you'd know,' but I dance on tables for fun when I'm sober. So."

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[imafuturist]

"Good," Tony replied, cupping Sparkle's jaw with his free hand to pull him forward for a kiss.

Look, someone had spent too much of his twenties and... some of his thirties living down to expectations. It wasn't something he wanted to do again.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[myownface]

Expectations were for other people. People who were not currently making out in the shadows after a week of sexual frustration.

Those people didn't know what they were missing, goddamn.

Sparkle, though? Sparkle was quite pleased with this turn of events, because Tony was still one hell of a kisser, and this time they weren't even randomly madly in love for no apparently reason. Score. Sparkle reached one hand up to place on the back of Tony's head, fingers running through his hair.

Coming up for air could happen... eventually. Just not right this minute, apparently.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[imafuturist]

Well, they did have this nice pile of pillows that made the whole party seem like it was set in the 70's with a fishbowl full of keys somewhere. So, glasses houses, yes.

Tony hummed happily at the fingers in his hair, having no problem with almost pulling Sparkle into his lap for this to continue.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[myownface]

Oooh, closer? Sparkle could do closer. Sparkle could get right up close and comfortable, would be quite happy to press himself up against Tony and kiss him for all he was worth. That actually seemed like an excellent direction to steer this evening in. Or to be steered in, by Tony.

Who, and it was worth repeating, was a fantastic kisser. If Tony wanted him actually in his lap, Sparkle would be more than happy to oblige, in fact.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[imafuturist]

A week's worth of sexual frustration! It was probably a wonder there weren't some more, ah, enthusiastic displays around them.

"Well, this isn't how I expected my evening to go," Tony muttered, kissing at his jawline. Because it was there and Tony was pretty affectionate. It was disgusting. Really.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[myownface]

Seriously, super gross. Which was probably why Sparkle was leaning his head sideways a little and making that pleased humming sound, there.

"Good thing? Bad thing?"

If you said it was a bad thing, Tony, Sparkle would probably bite you.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[imafuturist]

He was a menace who was probably going to give Sparkle an interesting lovebite or two to explain tomorrow.

"A different thing," Tony replied diplomatically. "How did you expect yours?"

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[myownface]

As if anybody ever thought too hard about it when Sparkle had lovebites. Especially after a week like this one.

"Mostly I figured I'd at least have something to drink if I didn't have someone to make out with," he replied, smirking. "Basically, I couldn't lose."

Unless somebody took the alcohol away and he still didn't get any. That would've been tragic.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[imafuturist]

He would have cried and had to build a pillow fort to survive.

"See, my plans were pretty similar. Though they generally ended with trying to work until I fell asleep in my lab."

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[myownface]

Yeah, but if he played his cards right, at least he'd maybe still have a lap to use as a pillow?

"See, I'd question the wisdom in drinking and then doing much work in your lab," Sparkle mused, "but I get the impression that you're really good with your hands."

Shameless. Just shameless.

Re: Make Out! In The Shadows!

[imafuturist]

...true.

"That was a terrible line," Tony replied. Even though he was grinning because it was also hilarious. And he in no way helped by putting those hands on Sparkle's ass.
