Author's Note: And welcome to the next instalment! This chapter is quite short, but it's basically a prologue instead of a normal chapter, mainly because I couldn't think of anything. I should have put this up a while ago, but I have only just got back from The Netherlands, where there was free wifi, but it was incredibly limited and slow (like a webpage would take 5 minutes to load), and it also meant schlepping across half the campsite with a laptop. So in other words, I've had no internet. So I am incredibly sorry. I didn't even get that much writing done to compensate either, because I went to see the Belgian Grand Prix at the same time, which took up 4 days out of 7. But it was worth it. Every minute. For all F1 fans out there, who haven't been to see a GP, GO AND SEE ONE. The atmosphere is amazing, no matter the weather. Plus, my happy mood was further heightened by see the World Champion Sebastian Vettel. Who is my absolute hero. I also saw Charles Pic, Pedro de la Rosa, Bruno Senna, Pastor Maldonado, Jerome d'Ambrosio (on his bike), Daniel Riccardo, Jean-Eric Vergne, Kamui Kobayashi, Sergio Perez, Felipe Massa, Jenson Button, and the one-and-only Michael Schumacher, on his scooter! And got signatures from most of them! So I have been basically on Cloud Nine, even if the weather wasn't brilliant all the time.

But anyway, enough of my life story (kinda went off on a tangent there. Sorry!). Hope you all enjoy the next part of the series! The title is taken from Los Campesinos!, who are an amazing band. And I have been warned by my friend LelliieTheSnake ( ) that if I do not do the song justice, I will be killed slowly. Very slowly. So fingers crossed! Enjoy!

Prologue

Loki shuffled on the coach, attempting to make himself comfortable. It was about 3am in the morning, and he was flicking through the channels at breakneck speed, barely having time to read the name before scrolling on again. Discovery Channel, NBC, a strange channel called Rocks & Co...

He finally settled on the news, leaning back into the cushions, watching the headlines scroll across the screen, illuminating the dark room.

"And in other news, the CEO of Stark Industries, Tony Stark, proposed to his boyfriend, and fellow Avenger, Loki Laufeyson, today after a battle against the Chitauri. There was an official statement from Tony Stark later in the day, confirming he had proposed, and that no date had yet been confirmed. There has been no word from Mr Laufeyson yet, apart from Mr Stark saying that they would both like to be left in peace.

There has been a wide reaching reaction on this latest development. Many people took to the Internet, with social network sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr becoming almost overloaded with messages of support, or messages of hate.

As one Tumblr user commented: "You may agree or disagree with gay marriage, or civil partnerships. But please keep your opinion to yourselves. People are always trying to make the world better. This is one way to do it. For people to be so united in the positive light. But it saddens us to see people trying to spin something negative on such a joyous occasion. Don't ruin this moment for everyone."

Several notable names have also made their opinions known, mainly through Twitter. The Consulting Detective Sherlock Holmes, who has become a slight recluse since the death of his good friend and colleague, Dr John Watson. Holmes tweeted: 'I'm glad Loki has found someone who could outwit him.'

Other notable names supporting the pair include the President, the British Prime Minister, and the actor Tom Hiddleston. Hiddleston has both tweeted, and when asked about the pair, gave this response.

'I have come to know both Tony and Loki very well over the years, and anyone who spends a minute with them can see they are a perfect match for each other. I wish them all the best for the future. I'm just crossing my fingers for an invite to the wedding!'

Loki smiled slightly. He had never expected the support, though he knew there would be criticism. His relationship with Tony, even when they had been friends, had been frowned upon on Asgard. Even more so when Loki kept on disappearing, ignoring his "princely duties", and hanging out with his best friend.

Odin probably wanted them both dead now.

Loki heard the door open and close behind him, and a warm body pressed up against his side.

"Couldn't sleep?" Tony's voice was sleepy, barely holding back a yawn. Loki pulled him closer.

"Just thinking." He replied, running a hand through the brown hair. Tony made a contented noise, hugging Loki around the middle. The engineer then flung a hand out at the television.

"What you watching?" Tony blinked blearily, trying to concentrate on the screen.

"The news." Loki heard Tony huff a laugh at the response.

"Just adding to your ego?"

"Always." Loki lay down, pulling the smaller man down on top of him. He felt Tony smile into his chest, as Loki kept running his hand through the unkempt hair.

"Not fair." The engineer murmured.

"What's not?"

"You're sending me to sleep, but you need to sleep." Tony sounded more and more drowsy, his eyelids flickering.

"You sleep less than me normally. You need a decent night." Loki responded, pressing a kiss to Tony's forehead. Tony never responded, his breathing evening out. Loki smiled down at his lover... no, fiancée, and leant back into the cushion.

He decided that he didn't care about whatever support there was about him and Tony, Tony and Loki.

As long as Tony was happy, so was he.

And everyone else could go to Hel.
