Tony watches him lay down, and for a brief moment he can only watch him. The way he moves, how his eyes look in this light. Klaus’s eyes had been striking from the first moment that they met, he remembers that so clearly that it immediately comes to mind, but it’s different right now. It’s as if he’s seeing him again for the first time, and—
No, he tells himself. He’s not going down this path. He supposes it’s a good thing, to want to hit on Klaus since it’s the first ‘normal’ thing that he has found himself wanting to do since finding himself in a cave in Afghanistan, but no. Pepper would probably murder him for turning this into something else, especially when it’s actually going pretty well.
When Klaus suggests to lay down, Tony gives him a look despite the fact that a smirk quirks at his lips, and with a playful sigh he complies. “Oh, you mean I could have been live-streaming this whole thing from the beginning? I think I remember someone from that boring party that would love to see you in yoga pants.”
He’s teasing, and the way his smile turns playful is almost too easy.
As he listens to Klaus speaks, he considers what he says before he nods slightly. Until he mentions tension, and Tony looks genuinely surprised. Not at the fact that he looks tense, but that it’s bad enough to make it that obvious to someone who he has barely interacted with. “That’s quite the range there. But...yeah, alright. I guess it’s worth a shot.”
Despite his initial apprehension, though, he knows it’s already working. Just laying down here, under the tree and with the sounds of the ocean at a distance, it’s relaxing him enough that he’s managing to breathe a little easier. Now that he’s not wrapped up with his project and all the work he has been pouring into it, it’s as if the exhaustion he has been trying to outrun is slowly creeping in, but he tries to ignore it as he turns his head to turn to Klaus again.
“So, tell me. Did I miss any good parties while I was gone, or have they been just as boring?”
