It's a Date [Closed]

[playsin-traffic.livejournal.com]

Tony peered out at the passing Bleed, watching the swirling colors slide past. He felt a bit nervous for some reason - the idea of this being an "official" date was odd, but he was the one who proposed it. Huh. He hoped things would work out well (and so far, between him and Kate, things had been fantastic). It was nice to have someone grounding, someone there who he could just talk or cuddle with. It gave him something real to hold onto.

He grinned to himself and nervously tried to tame his unruly hair again. Nope. Not happening. He sighed and turned towards the door, laughing at himself. Kate liked his hair unruly. It was part of who he was.

"Sounds like a real business-man..." Plays replied, tapping his hand against the table, "...smart, I guess. Pretty damn smart, actually."

He laughed, "Then again, I don't run a business. Wouldn't know how either."

"He is. He just cares more about business than anything else," She shrugged, "I'm used to it. House only been really quiet after my mom passed and especially after Susan got married."

"Well, that's n'good. Business... eh. Not my thing. Also not the most important thing..."

He reached across the table to her, "...shit, I'm sorry about your mom."

"No it isn't. He still helps when he can, but mostly through donations. He's not as hands on as my mom was."

She clutched his hand back, "Thanks, it's been a few years now." Not mentioning that she was killed then, and that helped influence her later desire to be a hero, along with the subsequent attack on Kate herself.

"Donations help, I guess... Better to be out there and doin' it yourself."

He gave her hand a supportive squeeze, "Sorry. Didn't mean t'bring that up."

"No, I agree it's not the same. It wasn't enough for me unless I could make a direct difference to help others. Anyway I can."

She shrugged, "It's in the past. Really in the past now." Just old scars now.

Kate then asked, "What movies do you like?"

Tony blinked. Talk about abrupt subject changes. He shrugged and leaned back in his chair, thinking.

"Uh... I dunno. All kinds of stuff, I guess. Action movies, you know that kinda stuff. Some horror flicks, although it's not really th' same anymore, considerin' what I do nowadays.... Uh, what about you?"
