Tell me, is the only difference the fact I don't have a limp? that I am actually attractive? Or, that you don't want to get sexually inquisitive with me?
Because it's John. John accepts things for how they are, not how he wishes they were. Why the hell do you think he tollerates me so well? He makes no false assumptions about who anyone is, himself included. John is genuine in everything. And for gods' sakes can we please stop talking about John!
Who says I have? Just because I've gone about a minute without mentioning him doesn't mean you're still not thinking about him. I mean I would be concerned but he isn't upsetting you so much, as you're the one agonising only one set of variables.
[Taking the hit, Tony makes an awkwardly surprised noise and stumbles back, falling over something and hitting the ground. Wincing, he rubs his jaw before looking back up at his baited attacker.]
Or, if you think it's so impossible, I might try to challenge that theory. I'm new to liking guys, so experimentation is a good way to be less new, isn't it?
[He doesn't say another word, nor does he move until Sherlock leaves the room. Where he just sits up, bringing his knees up with him while resting his elbows on his knees. He rubs his chin again and flexes his jaw.]
Tony, you either need to work on your people skills...

This has absolutly nothing to do with you or any lack of physical attraction towards you. Can you really be this stupid?

Well... How do you know he's not doing it for the same reasons I am...was...Do?
[He raises a hand and waves that thought trail away before starting again.]
How are you sure he isn't like me?
[Action]
[Throws the curtains closed again.]
[Action]
And I resent that. I tolerate you too.
[Action]
John was born a wizard. Nothing was ever going to change that--Hogwarts or no. He was born to like girls too.
Tollerate me all you want, Stark, but either shut up of I will make you shut up.
[Action]
Was that a threat? Really? You're threatening me?

[He takes two steps back from the curtain, guarding against potential fabric punch.]

Because lets face it, everyone is negotiable till marriage. And even then, things happen.

He doesn't even both to respond to his goading. He straightens his shirt and goes back to his bed to gather some things before leaving.]
[Action]
Tony, you either need to work on your people skills...
[He runs a hand through his hair.]
... Or learn how to fight.
[He hisses at a twinge of pain.]
If this bruises, Bruce is going to kill me.
