Log;

After a week of being cooped up in the hospital and then the flat, Tosh was more than ready to get out. The fact that getting out involved dinner with Tony only made it that much more gratifying. She'd left word with her flatmates, made sure she was wearing something flattering (and the earrings he'd given her) and hurried out to meet him at the designated time, at Angelo Amore.

Comments

"Do you take notes too?" he asked with a mischievous grin. While Tosh was a hard core scientist Tony sensed that she at least knew how to properly have a good time. Still, he couldn't resist teasing her. "And if so, can I read some of the more private ones?"

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

She did try, when the opportunity presented itself. Which was much more frequently of late.

"I keep them all in my head, to protect my information. Might be willing to make an exception and write a bit down for you, though. If you ask nicely."

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

"Toshiko Sato," Tony said, clucking his tongue as he shook his head. "I'm beginning to think you have a whole side you that most people don't know about and you're dying to let out."

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

"Maybe I am a little bit more complicated than most people think," Tosh admitted, with a soft laugh. "Or else maybe it's just your influence."

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

"Really?" he asked, leaning back and crossing his arms over his chest while giving her a skeptical look.

"In that case, I wonder what else I can influence you to do. It will be very interesting to see."

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

"Don't get too carried away," Tosh admonished him. "You don't want to be disappointed when your plans don't all work."

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Tony couldn't help but flash her a bit of a wicked grin. Now that almost sounded like a challenge, and Tony loves challenges.

"I suppose, but it seems that so far you've rather liked my suggestions. Maybe you're hoping I get carried away?"

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

Oh, she knew what that wicked grin meant. She'd see it from Tony before, and Jack had a similar one that always meant trouble. Although, admittedly, generally the fun sort of trouble.

"Well, so far your suggestions have been fairly proper." And then, because she couldn't help the urge to maybe surprise him just a bit, she added, "Of course, I seem to remember someone bringing up the subject of handcuffs earlier."

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

"I can make some rather improper ones if you'd like," Tony said, pausing a moment to add, "In fact, I'd love to make some rather improper suggestions."

Tony had honestly forgotten somewhat about that comment and he certainly hadn't expected Tosh to bring it up. Leaning forward he gave her his full attention. "And just what would you do with the handcuffs?"

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I thought you might," Tosh laughed. She had to admit, it felt awfully good when he looked at her like that.

Her cheeks flushed a little, but she gamely looked back at him, pausing a moment to collect thoughts that scattered suddenly at the image that popped into her head. "Well, I think I might use them to cuff you to the bed," she answered softly. "Or...I might let you put them on me."

Which would be a hell of gesture of trust, but one that she felt ready to make.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

"And did you bring the handcuffs?" Tony asked her, grinning impishly as he continued to lean forward. He didn't think it would be out of character for Tosh to possibly carry a pair of handcuffs with her because of work.

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

"I thought that was your job," Tosh retorted, although there was a thoughtful look in her eyes as she did a quick inventory of the satchel she carried everywhere she went these days.

"I've got a pair of weevil restraints," she admitted after a moment, blushing furiously.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Tony raised an eyebrow and gave her an amused look. It was nice to see her blush but still going along with it. He liked that about her.

"And would weevil restraints still work for restraining me to the bed?"

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

"Might, with a bit of tinkering." Which Tosh was now certainly willing to try. Especially since she suspected Tony hadn't thought she had it in her.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

"I guess we'll have to experiment then," he told her, giving a roguish wink. "If you're up for that of course. If not, I can understand..."

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

Oh, now that wasn't playing fair. Tony knew she couldn't back down from something like that, didn't he?

"I've never walked away from a challenge ever, Tony Stark. I certainly don't plan on doing so tonight."

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

He leaned back now, smiling in satisfaction. This was certainly going to be an interesting evening. Fun, but interesting. Tosh seemed to be full of surprises.

"You'd better eat then," he said, indicating her plate. "You're going to need your strength."

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

"You're the one going to be in weevil restraints," Tosh pointed out, before picking up her fork and grinning. "I assume you own a handheld welding torch?"

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

"A welding torch? Now this is getting very kinky, Tosh," he said with a chuckle before cutting into his steak and taking a bite. He loved how nothing with Tosh was ever normal... but it seemed perfectly normal for them.

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

"You want to be able to get back out of them, don't you?" she laughed, hiding her face behind one hand for just a moment. Thank god Tony never seemed to mind when she made odd leaps of logic, or when her mind raced off on some tangent that seemed to make sense only to her.

"I think you just like winding me up."

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

"Okay, that's a good point," Tony said with a chuckle. Being permanently attached to his bed wasn't high up on his list of things. For a short time while Tosh was there wouldn't be so bad.

"I do, but I really like it when I unwind you afterwards."

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

"Pretty fond of that part myself," she admitted, peeking up at him. "Honestly, it's a good thing we're having this talk in person and not across the network. You'd have everyone thinking all sorts of things about me."

And while Tosh wasn't averse to having some fun, she rather preferred to keep that information limited to Tony.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

"I would be sure to make it private," Tony told her with another grin as he took a sip of wine.

"It's much more fun knowing I'm the only one that gets to see that side of you," he added. Which was true. It was more enjoyable when things like that were kept behind closed doors between two people.

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

"I've got a tendency to forget people are watching sometimes," Tosh said, with a sheepish look. She was doing better, since Jack had given his recitation of her activities, based simply off network chatter.

"I'm not the exhibitionist of the team, so I'm glad you think so."

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

"It's a mistake that a lot of people make," Tony assured her. "Trust me, often I'm the guy watching. Or at least my organization is."

Laughing, Tony arched an eyebrow. "You're not, or you're just not the most obvious one?"
