{from here}

Jay's room is large but simple. A big bed in one corner, a couch and TV in another. The rest of the room is workbenches and lockers except for a small kitchenette. The benches are covered in blueprints, sketches and tools. Small projects are set up on one side - a production line of small electrical components. There are a couple of closed doors off it, leading to other rooms.

Not that Jonathan will get much of a chance to look. Jay pushes him gently against the door and kisses him almost as soon as they're through it.

"Very powerful", Jonathan agrees, lying back a little to let Jay touch it. "A fix for a situation I'd got into."

[runningred]

"And this got you out of it?" He asks, massaging Jonathan's lower back with easy strokes.

[jonathanparagon]

"Yeah. It means now when I die, that won't be the end of me."

[runningred]

"Huh." Jay shakes his head and lets the subject drop in favour of stroking and massaging Jonathan's back.

[jonathanparagon]

He's more than happy to leave it at that, moving to give Jay better access to his back.

[runningred]

Jay shifts to a deeper form of massage, still gentle but most certainly therapeutic.

[jonathanparagon]

Jonathan shifts to lie completely on his front, making a satisfied sound.

"Where'd you learn that?"

[runningred]

"Post training treatment." Jay explains. "My mentor was very hot on both warming up and cooling down."

[jonathanparagon]

"Smart", he agrees. "Most exercise I get is running."

[runningred]

"Away or towards?" Jay jokes, working his way down to massage Jonathan's thighs and calves.

[jonathanparagon]

He laughs quietly.

"Both. Depends what it is and if I'm playing decoy that night."

[runningred]

"You must seriously trust the rest of your team?" There's a reason Jay mostly works alone.

[jonathanparagon]

Jonathan nods into the mattress.

"We couldn't do what we do if we didn't all trust each other."

[runningred]

Jay's silent a long moment.

"It's good, that you've got people."

[jonathanparagon]

Jonathan stills under his hands, then shifts to try and look at him.

"Far as it goes for me, I think so."

[runningred]

Jay's expression is a guarded but a little sad. He shrugs as Jonathan looks at him. "Been awhile since I worked with a team."

[jonathanparagon]

"If it's your own choice, if it works for you..." But he can see the sadness there. "Then it works for you."

[runningred]

Jay shrugs again and stretches out next to Jonathan, scratching his own chest just over one of the scars.

[jonathanparagon]

Jonathan rolls onto his side.

"You got somebody to patch you up, at least?"

[runningred]

"Mostly here." He shrugs, not really wanting to talk about it.

[jonathanparagon]

Jonathan isn't going to force the issue.

"Yeah, here's a good place for that. Between the magic healers and the tech the infirmary's got..."

[runningred]

"And a garage full of toys." Jay grins. "Hell, I don't leave the whole first year." Granted he was working through some shit but that's besides the point.

[jonathanparagon]

"Can't say I blame you", he says lightly. "Whatever you're into, there's enough to occupy anybody here if they let it."

[runningred]

"What are you into? Other than this?" He runs the tips of his fingers down the centre of Jonathan's chest, stopping short of the scar.

[jonathanparagon]

He follows Jay's trailing fingers with his eyes.

"Mostly magic. Some demonology just for the learning."
