Its a fact that today was just not a good day for Tony Stark. First off he was perfectly content sleeping until 4pm but his sleep was interrupted by Pepper yelling about missing an important meeting that would have been beneficial to have had friendly relationship with…or some shit he stopped paying attention because by now he had this speech memorized...anyway this speech usually goes on for about an hour and damn he thinks it was longer, now don't get him wrong he loves Pepper but there are times where he just wishes there was a mute button on her.
He sighs and starts thinking about what modifications he can add to the Iron-man suit. Just thinking about it makes him salivate with all the possibilities, after a few minuets he looks back at Pepper and decides he should listen in. "-sible...not professional...You need to take work more seriously! Are you listening to me Tony?" Tony takes a sip of his morning scotch looking to find the bottle empty. "Yeah sorry Pep but I was up all night testing a new modal of the suit...and forgot about the meeting" He looks at her giving his best puppy dog look that he only uses on special occasions.
She sighs and nods "Last time this happens Tony, I'm not going to be around forever to save your drunken ass. Oh and I wont be in for a few weeks because Tim and I are going on that vacation you promised me a while back." Tim being Peppers husband of a year and a half. After the hole almost died by throwing a bomb at the freaky aliens she couldn't stand him always putting himself in danger so they ended things and a few months after the break up she met Tim at a business meeting and they hit it off. He is happy that Pepper found someone -but is a complete tool- who she can share her life with but he is a selfish bastered and wants sometimes wants Peppers undivided attention -when she isn't mad at him-.
After Pepper left Thor was being Thor and destroyed ALL his liquor cabinets because he said it was a good wood to burn, so he started a bonfire in his living room so he could cook how he put it "A feast of the clever small furry tailed beasts that run up and down trees" AKA squirrels…it took every one to try and explain to him that people on earth don't do things like that in his living-room no less and that squirrels are not for killing/eating. He took it well and he promised that the living room would be fixed.
Then all the Alcohol that was in the mini bar Natasha and Clint drank the night before to see who could pass out first -Natasha won- So his breakfast of hard drinking was out of the question so he stole one of Thor's Pop-tarts as a little pay back. Then JARVIS let Steve into his lab and long story short he needs new equipment because his high tec computers cant protect themselves from spilt coffee. If Bruce was here his computers would have been saved but he just had to go to India and be a doctor.
So to get his mind off his crappy morning well to him its morning and not 5:30pm Tony gets dressed in an old well worn AC/DC shirt and jeans with his sunglasses to go for a walk. Stepping outside of his beach house Tony could already feel some tension leave him. Walking down the road he curses Furry for having the Avengers stay at his house. He would stay at Stark Tower but thanks to someone-Loki- the top half of the building got destroyed. That was six months ago! Every time the Avengers get called most of the fighting gets turned to his Tower.
Like last week They were fighting Doom on the other side of the city but some how they ended up on stark tower -it was nearly finished- and surprise, surprise it had to be rebuilt…thank you Hulk. Its like there is a cures on his tower, he wouldn't be surprised if Loki put one on it the magic wielding bastered.
After a while he ends up in town and he sees a little coffee shop on a more quiet street that's out of the way. He didn't know what compelled him to but he went in suddenly craving coffee, he walks up to the counter and orders a black coffee, after paying he looks around the tiny shop. It was simple but cozy, looking around there are only a few people in the place. He looks in the back and sees something that makes him freeze up. Sitting in the back by the window is Loki in a black dress suit with that green scarf reading a newspaper. Shit the one time I go for a walk! Is he waiting for something?…oh my Thor did he do something to the coffee?!
He looks at his coffee cursing himself he already had some. He looks at Loki who is still reading the paper and sometimes taking a sip of his drink. Tony stands up straighter and slowly makes his way over and sits down in front of Loki.
"Well fancy seeing you here Reindeergames." Tony sees Loki calmly look up at him his deep green eyes focusing on Tony for a few seconds and then continues reading. "Yes fancy that." He says in a bored tone. Tony looks around. "So you waiting for something chaotic to happen? Or did you follow me in?" Loki sighs and looks up again. "Mr. Stark I'm not doing anything that would cause that annoying team of yours to interfere with my plans. And please if I was following you, you wouldn't know it, I'm simply reading the paper and drinking coffee." To make his point Loki turns the page.
Tony razes his eyebrows. "So…what is this like your day off?" Tony brings his cup to his lips but stops remembering he could have done something to it and pushes it away from him. "Yes Mr. Stark even someone like myself have days off. I didn't do anything to the coffee here if that's what your thinking." He said all of this with out once looking up.
"How am I going to believe you? for all I know the minuet I leave you alone you go all 'I'm a god bow down before me' thing. Plus you are the god of lies." Loki takes a sip of his drink. "your not going to leave me alone are you?" green eyes look at him. Shrugging he smiles "What kind of hero would I be if I left you by yourself to cause trouble." Loki smiles "Ah but you don't have your suit so even if I was going to do something you couldn't stop me."
Loki brings a hand up and his green magic started to flow over his fingers. "Like now I could kill you and nothing would be able to stop me." Loki's eyes turned cold and unfeeling. Fuck. "How do you know I don't have it I could be hiding it." Tony looks from Loki's hand to his face. Loki puts his hand away and his eyes shine with amusement.
Loki razes an eyebrow. "Mr. stark I know for a fact you don't have anything like that with you because I saw you walk in and freeze up when you saw me, you stood there for a few minuets probably cursing yourself the one day you don't bring your suit and wondering what I am of all people were doing here. Plus you took your sweet time getting over to my table." Loki has a smirk of his own looking at Tony's reaction.
Tony is in shock for being so readable and Is about to say something but he get interrupted by a cute girl on staff. "Mr. Loki did you want a refill?" She smiles at Loki holding a coffee pot. Loki looks at her and gives a charming smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "No thank you I was just leaving." Loki gets up. "It was a nice chat Mr. Stark." Loki says walking to the door.
Tony quickly chases after Loki and walks beside him. Now that he was this close he could smell Loki's cologne which smelled…really good. So not something you should thinking about Tony he shakes his head."So you go there a lot then?" Loki looks down at Tony while Tony curses himself for being short. "Only on my days off, it's a quiet place though the people I could do with out. They don't even recognize me or my name." he chuckles to himself. Tony looks him over and cant help but admire his strong build and thinks he looks really good in a suit. "Well you do look different in a suit; I'm sure if you went in there in your leather armor and antler helmet you would get a reaction out of them" Loki smiles "Yes but then I would have to find another coffee shop."
Tony shrugs. "What do you do on your days off besides go to a coffee shop?" Loki shakes his head in amusement. "do you really think that would tell you of all people?" Tony wiggles his eyebrows "But I thought you liked me I mean you just don't throw anyone out a window." he pauses to give Loki a sideways glance "Or do you?" Loki laughs an easy going laugh that sounded nice to Tony. "Believe me Mr. Stark you're the first one."
Tony suddenly come to the realization that he is actually enjoying Loki's company, not that he trusts him fully or anything but still he is having a little fun. "Mr. stark I'm a bit surprised your not calling anyone on your team to come and how you say 'kick my ass'." Tony stops walking and feels like smacking his head agents a brick building. Why didn't he do that the minuet he saw Loki?
He coughs "well I don't always do things by the book…" he answers lamely. Loki stops walking and turns to him, he razes another eyebrow "You didn't think about that did you? Are you having an off day?" Tony thinks back on what has happened that day. "More like a really bad day…your brother didn't help much with my stress." Tony sighs. Loki freezes and it suddenly got a bit cold to Tony which is strange being that it was a hot day today. "Mr. Stark I will not repeat myself Thor. Is. Not. My. Brother." He hisses out.
fuuuck! He just had to bring up the brother issues on the day he isn't wearing his suit.Tony shivers with the realization that he is defenseless. Loki seems to calm down after a minuet and the air turns back to normal. Tony watches Loki walking away from him, he quickly catches up to him. "Look I'm sorry about the whole brother thing…I wont say anything more about it." He scratches his neck and doesn't look at Loki. "You're a strange one Mr. Stark apologizing to your enemy and walking with said enemy like we are old friends." His eyes light up with amusement. "You humans are strange creatures…stupid and inferior but strange." Tony huffs "Yeah well we "stupid and inferior creatures" kick your ass all the time." he says mockingly.
Loki glares at him but then smiles "Well we'll see about next time wont we?" Tony doesn't like the sound of that because now he knows he definitely planning something. "I'm going to bet that even if I ask nicely what you mean by that you wont tell me?" Loki smiles "you would be correct." He pulls a pocket watch out and he sighs. "well Stark its been fun but I must be on my way." He gives him a small smile while putting his watch back in his pocket then he walks down the street blending in with the crowd.
Well that was fun…Shit! Why have I still not called my team? For a genius I'm pretty stupid today. Tony turns around to head back home. While on his way back he smiles a little. well I cant say I didn't have a little fun…I wonder when his next day off is.
When he gets back Tony is surprised that the living room is clean and that Clint and Natasha had restocked his mini bar. Thor looks up at him from laying on the couch and smiles. "welcome back friend Tony I hope you had a adventurous walk." Tony smiles a little…it was hard to stay mad at Thor. "Yes it was…interesting." Thor smiles big and gets up to give him a hug, Tony pats his back awkwardly, Thor freezes. "Thor? Are you okay?" Thor releases Tony and smiles a little.
"Yes I'm fine friend Tony…its just I could have sworn I smelled Loki's…what you earthlings call cologne? It just made me think about all the fun times we had together…I know he is…in a bad place now but I miss my brother." Tony feels guilty that he was the one who saw said brother laughing and smiling today…wait his cologne? He didn't even touch him or was around him long! Tony pats Thor's shoulder "Um…well I'm sure its just a faze he's going through…or something." Thor smiles and pats his back hard. "Thank you friend Tony." Thor sits down on the couch and watches Pirates of the Caribbean. "One day I'm going to hunt these undead Pirates." Thor mumbles to himself.
I'm not going to go there, Its Clint's turn, I did Santa…that was a fun Christmas.
Tony goes back to his room and lays down on his bed, surprisingly not wanting to work on anything. Tony thinks about the encounter with Loki, His smile, His laugh,-his smell-…Maybe today isn't that bad of a day after all. He smacks his head for having thoughts like that, sighing he closes his eyes and falls asleep, but before he lost himself in his dreams he could have sworn he smelled more of Loki's sent.
