Re: House of Strays: Ronan/Ben
[He can feel a ruddy, self-conscious flush spreading over the skin on his chest and starting to creep up his neck. He's so aware of himself, the awkwardness in every movement as he second-guesses himself and starts to overanalyze; not having Ben in his head has him feeling so utterly out of his element. He's busy chewing his bottom lip to a raw scrape when Ben joins him in front of the TV, wishing he was wearing something more than his goddamn underwear. He'd even settle for leather pants at this point.]
Um, that it started with some kind of showdown in DC but now there's been an attack on Stark Tower here. They haven't said anything about who's behind it. [He falls quiet for a minute, watching grainy cell phone footage of heroes who are familiar from the comics he's read and from Billy's memories. There's a flash of muscles and blonde hair - Thor - and Ronan turns to look at Ben standing next to him.] I know that you miss having him with you, just like I miss Billy. But... when stuff like this happens... [He angles his head towards the screen but doesn't take his eyes off the profile of Ben's face.] I'm really glad that I don't have to worry about something bad happening to you while Thor's in control anymore.
