Oh, I know. I'm a great lay. ( the cocky little grin matches the sentiment, and leaning on being a snarky asshole makes this conversation way easier. he could dig into it deeper, dig into the i was hurting and the i used you bits, but they don't need to touch on that. tony's already gotten enough of jason's complex problems dropped onto him. and it's--not important, they're not doing it again. )

But, ( the grin falls into something a little more serious. jason sits himself up a bit straighter, because this is also a lot. ) I don't do anything casual. Not just sex. Either I hate someone or I don't give a shit about them. I trust someone, or they're nothing to me.

( this is the important bit of this conversation. it's one jason doesn't usually have with people. but given--how complicated shit has been lately between them, he figures it's probably best to clear the air. )

I trust you. Enough to trust you with my family, an' that isn't something I take lightly. ( moving dick into the tower, telling tony when shit comes up. that level of communication is--big for jason. ) I can't afford to have that fucked up by whatever the hell that was, not here.
