[it is a large show of trust, to let the other man at his throat. it's also a show of trust to let his hands wander over his body, where there are strange, sensitive nerves and old, deep scars, and plenty of vital organs (he thinks of every single one of them as Tek drags his fingers down his back) that only need one good jab with something sharp to wreak havoc on the rest of his body.
that said, he gets a little tense whenever there are teeth, but seems to ease up and enjoy that strange tongue of Tek's immensely. maybe he could warm up to something sharper, but he certainly isn't Robin--who would practically be begging for a bite by now. Tonic seems content to sigh into Tek's affections, simply thankful for the closeness of another creature that he likes.
Tonic smells strongly of the cigarette he'd been burning. Tonic can't tell what Tek smells like, but it's strangely familiar... and after a while, he indulges with his eyes closed, pressing his face in against his hair and breathing him in just the same.]
