And then half an hour. That was it. Harry had tried the best he could to recover the information and data from this computer. Ramon had sworn to him it was possible, they just needed to find a way to take apart the device, replace any of the pieces that didn’t store data and files, and then rebuild it and then extract. It had been a couple of hours. Harry spent time dismantling it, gathering the important pieces and unimportant pieces into piles to sort through again later after the rebuild.
Harry had gotten through all of that while Ramon worked on a program to remove the information and quickly upload it into S.T.A.R. Labs database. He completed that rather quickly. Something that Harry always admired about Ramon, his intelligence, that and almost everything about him.
He found himself staring at him while they were alone, he found himself thinking of Ramon underneath him and his name rough on Ramon lips as he came. There was so much that he needed to be focused on but that was what his brain always shot to, without warning. Especially when he spoke, Harry couldn’t look away from his plump lips and his deep brown eyes. He found himself getting lost easily in the thought of kissing him. He always had to shake imself back into reality. It was now, in reality, when he was pounding on the table because he couldn’t figure out how to put the computer back together.
He got up from his chair and slammed it into the table. “What the hell Ramon! You said this was doable! But I can’t fucking find the pieces that need to go together to put it back together!! I mean come on, it shouldn’t be like a fucking puzzle piece! They should all just fit back together; it wasn’t that destroyed!” Harry shouts in the lab, he doesn’t hear Ramon’s reply and his whole body turns to face him, before Harry can say anything else Ramon bursts out laughing. He’s holding his stomach toppling over with laughter and Harry’s eyes burn a hole where Ramon is standing.
“Something funny Ramon?” Harry asked, his arms crossing over his chest.
“Well, Harry, if you must know. It takes time to put a computer back together, and when it’s basically smashed to pieces you have to have the patience to put it back together. We'll get through it together, I got your back.” Ramon says as he approaches the older man, patting Harry's shoulder and smiling. Harry gives him a deep, long look; seemingly lost in thought before his hands are around Ramon's hips and he’s picking him up and sitting him atop the table. Harry moves in between Ramon's legs. Ramon forgets just how strong the Harry is, his lean body making him look small and sometimes weak. Harry does a good job of convincing him otherwise.
Ramon’s laughter was always something that seemed to pull him in and make his heartbeat a little bit faster. He had to get closer, he was so frustrated, and right now he probably wasn’t thinking straight. His hand touches Ramon’s chin lifting it up to make him look him in the eye. “Move away if you don’t want this,” Harry’s voice was rough from screaming. He was worried that Ramon would say no, but he seemed to freeze, he wasn’t uncomfortable just seemed to be frozen. The action that took place right after was a shock to Harry’s system. Ramon surged forward to pull Harry into an embrace, his lips seeking Harry’s and Harry could do nothing but comply, letting himself be led by the other. Craving the kiss and the touch and the closeness, not knowing how far they would take it, or how different it would make things but he needed this.
