It was late in the evening when Tony finally sent a message back. Ziggy didn't mind. He didn't sleep and even if he did, right now he probably wouldn't. They talk records mostly as they walk the short distance toward his home which is on the very outskirts of the plaza but not as far as his parents live from the center. The The first floor townhouse he lives in, which is a converted office space, is easy to spot with its teal facade and golden disk over the gold framed door. The inside is very Ziggy with tall the bright colors and open layout.

There are two cats that come running. One is a pretty normal black cat with white paws. The other is orange with teal tabby stripes and red wings. Ziggy greets both of them before turning to Tony.

"Make yourself at home." He smiles and sets the vinyls down to put away soon. "Do you want a drink?"

He didn't necessarily mean alcoholic since he knew Tony was recovering. "The vinyls are in the living room if you want to put something on."

In the area where most people would have a TV, Ziggy has a record player with nice speakers. A side cabinet, almost like a kitchen pantry, with a glass door holds the several hundred records Ziggy has with him. There are a wide variety of genres; rock, soul, blues, disco, punk, early new wave. From Tony's perspective there's nothing in the collection past his own 1983 and some of the dates don't make sense. Records he knows from the 70s have recorded dates in the 80s or even early 90s.

"Sure. Sorry, I need to get my telepathy and telekinesis correct. I guess I'd make a pretty lousy Anthean."

Smirking slightly he wondered what else Ziggy could do with such a mind. The possibilities were endless, yet Tony was more interested in the creative nature of the alien's mind. He could paint, create and design. Those were useful qualities inded.

Walking towards the door, Tony opened it and paid for the pizzas and fries. It wasn't much and so what if it was? This was their night and Ziggy deserved whatever he wanted right now for feeling like shit. Bringing the pizzas into the kitchen, Tony slid them onto the plates and noticed the silverware and napkins. The guy liked his comforts.

"These are going to taste great. Oh--the fries, here."

He tipped a huge pile onto two plates as he helped carry them into the living room, placing them onto the table close by the chairs.

"Yeah, I should know this since we have this girl back home called Wanda who is good with her mental abilities. She uses telekinesis mostly and has some mind control abilities too."

Tony kenw only too well of what Wanda Maximoff, or Scarlet Witch as she was known, could do and it was downright terrifying to know she could move buildings with that mind of hers. HYDRA wanted to use her and her brother for their own gains. It was a good thing the Avengers had her on their team now. Tony hoped that Ziggy was able to control his thoughts and emotions when he wanted to. Taking a mug and filling it via the pot of freshly brewed coffee, Tony takes a deep gulp and then placed his own pizza onto his plate. Just watching Ziggy eat would be interesting. The poor guy must be starving.

"Eat. No need to wait for me. You must be starving."

"That makes sense. Decent skill to have."

Even though Tony was still new to Antheans in general and getting to know Ziggy, he was finding the whole experience to be very enlightening and he felt privileged to learn more about the rock star. Not wanting to be rude by watching his host eat, Tony began tucking into his own pizza, but without knife and fork since he was an American and they often used hands for pizza. The lack of etiquette very visible compared to Ziggy's more refined way of eating.

"Excuse the rude American here. Just this is---good."

Tony ate more just enjoying the taste whilst popping a few fries into his mouth as he went. Was he hungry? Hell yeah. The whole thing about Anthean's and their ability to go months without food? Yeah. That was pretty awesome.

"You guys are pretty awesome, did you know that? Must be useful when there's no food or water around. As for me? I'd soon order a whole box of Dunkin' Donuts after around a day of not eating."

It made sense for someone like Ziggy to be extra careful when being an alien on another planet, scared for infecting himself unnecessarily. Tony thought it wise of him to err on the side of caution. The poor guy must be living on a knife edge regarding that side of things.

"Microbes? Ah I get you. That must suck having to watch for them all the time. I do agree with your methods though to keep safe."

Tony placed a piece of pizza inside his mouth and chewed. His face becoming more serious as Ziggy spoke of his home planet dying for so long. Shit. The guy has been through it all. Antheans really were survivors and that was impressive in Tony's eyes.

"I'm sorry you have to go through all this shit, Ziggy. It must be hard and I'm here for you if the shit gets too much. You know?"

Swallowing, Tony drank some coffee and placed a comforting hand on Ziggy's leg, just trying to reassure the guy.

Tony nodded whilst eating the rest of his pizza. He was hungry and didn't feel the need to stop whilst Ziggy was practically inhaling his anyway. The guy was hungry and there was a reason why he was eating so fast. It made complete sense to Tony though.

"Uh--I usually get touchy feely with my buddies who are down. I mean, this isn't a problem, right?"

Oh crap. Had he somewhere blew it? Yet, Ziggy was smiling so that was a good sign. The last thing he'd want to do was offend the guy by touching his leg. Surprises though? Now that had Tony's eyebrow raised in mild fascination.

"What sort of surprises are we talking about here?"

"Is that right? Are we talking a kiss on the cheek here or grab of the ass kind of touch?"

Tony was just testing the waters here as he finished off the remains of his pizza, wiping his mouth with his napkin while putting the box in the cardboard recycling bin. He wanted to be a gracious guest in Ziggy's home. The hand on his leg got him staring at the rock star's hand though resting on it.

"Half alien? That's still cool. I've known aliens, gods, all kinds of creatures. Most have been awesome except a few."

Mostly those who's egos were too big for their helmets so to speak. As for right now? Tony wasn't sure where this would lead but was open if Ziggy wanted to pursue touch.

A good and fair question regarding Tony's status with Lucifer. What was their actual relationship? All that he knew was that his heart missed a beat when the name Lucifer was mentioned or that everytime he saw the devil he swooned. Was he in love?

Oh, he was in love.

"To be honest? I'm in love. Plain and simple as that. He is everything to me and I love him. Yet, I think you're a cool guy and wouldn't mind getting to know you better. If that makes sense. I guess you've heard the term friends with benefits? I mean it doesn't have to be....if you're uncomfortable with that and everything."

Was he talking too much? Maybe. He just didn't want to wreck what he had with Lucifer but not offend Ziggy at the same time. It was more let's see where this goes and if it doesn't work out then Tony would accept that. Would Lucifer mind if he slept with Ziggy? Crap. Because he didn't want to piss off the devil. But then he seemed an open kind of guy having Balthazar as his sitting king and fiance. So, Tony wondered if it would indeed work somehow.

"Thanks, pal. It means a lot."

Tony's own hand sliding onto Ziggy's knee squeezing it softly. What did he want? Something that didn't interfere with what he had already got with Lucifer since that was precious to him. Yet, having a cheap fling with Ziggy felt rude considering the man's predicament and feelings. A close friend with benefits? That sounded a little more appropriate.

"Oh, I've been known to get into all kinds of weird stuff when I was younger. As for your alien biology? That's totally cool with me."

In fact, Tony was curious as to how it all worked. How he and Hiroki, well---had it off. Did he have a cock and female genitals inside somehow? The engineer's mind boggled for a moment.

"Yeah...I guess it is what I'm looking for but not at the expense of anyone's feelings, you know? Yours...Lucifer's. I just want you to be ok."

Tony didn't catch the wince but instead moved his hand to slide on Ziggy's shoulder instead, a few fingers coming out to brush against the end of the man's red hair. It was an impressive mullet and Tony was jealous that even he couldn't pull off such a rock hairstyle even during the 80's. Ziggy had style in droves. His serious questions were poignant though.

"If it gets weird later than I'll deal. It'll be fine, Hot-Pants. Don't worry, I'm a big boy."

He sighed, thinking about Lucifer and his relationship with Balthazar. They were destined to be married and the angel was his king so it was a strong bond indeed.

"Lucifer is joined with Balthazar, his angel and king. They're destined to be married since Balthazar is his fiancé. It's all fine with me as long as Lucifer is cool with dating a tech nerd like me. As for open? As far as I know it's just me and Balthazar warming his bed. We're like a threesome but not. If that makes any sense."

Tony knew that Lucifer was more a choose your partner carefully kind of guy and wasn't like the open to everyone as Ziggy was. At least that's the vibe he got from his devil lover.

"Oh yeah? Going to show me just how big you can be inside those tight pants of yours?"

If Ziggy was falling into the gutter intending to drag Tony in too then he was already halfway there. It didn't take much for Tony Stark to start with the innuendo and euphemisms. No doubt the Anthean wasn't lying about his manhood. Yet, the comment about his partner got a soft look from Tony. Poor guy.

"Honesty is everything, I agree."

He moved his fingers gently to caress Ziggy's collarbone, wondering what the guy liked and where to be touched. How sensitive were Antheans to touch? There we so much he didn't know about Ziggy and craved to know.

"Two? You lucky boy. I guess you're one up on me having one but that one being the devil himself. Sometimes herself. Not that I'm aiming to cut a notch in my bedpost every time."

Tony had done all that in his past life with how many women he'd slept with. Was it possible that Ziggy had slept with more people than even Tony Stark? It was a distinct possibility, yet one he wouldn't pry into since it was Ziggy's business. What mattered now was spending time with the guy and trying to cheer him up. The touching seemed to be working.

"You know you're right. About no fun in seeing it in your pants. Let's uh--remedy that, huh?"

Tony leant in closer, just sliding both palms up Ziggy's thighs, just pressing into the soft flesh, almost massaging his leg muscles gently. He was going to start slow and allow the man to come into his own on his own. Tony would touch but wait and see what Ziggy would do next.

Jesus. Tony's eyes softened as he listened to Ziggy's painful memories regarding his past partners. Torture, imprisonment. Ziggy's uncle getting it in the neck for years? Fuck. It was raw emotion right there and it brought a pang of anger to rise up within the engineer's being. That was wrong right there.

"Ziggy---I'm sorry. That sounds like a real shit show for you and your uncle."

Not uttering another word, Tony leant forward and pulled Ziggy into a warm hug. Tony noticed just how cool the Anthean was to the touch but ignored it. Hey, if he was about to sleep with an alien then he would have to get used to the strange perks of doing just that. Ziggy needed a hug and Tony Stark had just decided that the whole world could go to hell right now regarding Ziggy's shit show of one. The guy needed touch and the engineer was here to offer that.

"I'm here for you, pal. Totally."

Breaking off, he sighed and then slipped some fingers into Ziggy's pants waistband, just tugging lightly.

"Do you want me to? Because I totally want to see those hot legs naked."
