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.

"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."

"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?"

"I know, but I'm supposed to be the one concerned with our security, and instead I'm always the one winds up telling people things I shouldn't."

Tosh shook her head ruefully, but had to smile in puzzlement at Tony's question. "What makes you say that?"

"Well, that's the easiest kind of security breach to fix," he told her. "You just don't tell people things you shouldn't."

"Because," Tony said, sipping his wine again. "I think you really like the idea of using the restraints."

"Well obviously that's the solution," Tosh said, with a little laugh. "It's just that sometimes I have a little difficulty with...trusting people too easily."

She colored a little again, and replied, "That doesn't actually make me an exhibitionist, you know."

"A problem everyone should have," Tony said. "Too many people have been hurt too often by trusting."

Tony leaned forward again, relishing the blush Tosh gave. "No, but now you're thinking that just maybe, you might be."

"Maybe, but there does come a point when a person should take a lesson from the consequences."

Tosh began to suspect he was trying to make her blush, which didn't really help stop it from happening. But she leaned in toward him, and replied softly, "Or it might be just that I'm thinking you were right about your first point instead."

Tony leaned in a bit farther and softly kissed Tosh before very reluctantly pulling away.

"Either way I think that I'm really going to enjoy the outcome," he told her.

The kiss earned Tony a warm smile, and Tosh sat back as well. "I feel pretty sure so will I," she murmured.
