Dirty Little Secrets
Loki stood in the shadows, watching tony toss and turn as he had another one of his nightmares. He knew he should be happy that the man of iron was suffering after he had destroyed his armies, but he was fighting the urge to go and comfort the man.
Like every other night Tony woke with start then, carefully so as not to wake pepper, stood up and went to work on his suit knowing it was pointless to try and sleep.
Loki glided silently behind him as tony made his way silently through the tower to his workshop, stopping at every slight noise to make sure he didn't wake pepper.
It had taken Loki four attempts to find a spell to hide his presence from JARVIS, but now he was able to move through the mansion at will.
He didn't know it yet but Tony always knew when the god was around, and had decided to let him reveal his presence in his own time. Anyway, Tony always felt calmer with Loki around and didn't want to scare him away.
As tony worked on his suit, the god watched in silence admiring the smooth body and exceptional intelligence which stirred both feelings and a certain part of his anatomy.
Tony had decided to work topless tonight, and the sight of the muscles rippling under the bare chest which was shining with a light sheen of sweat finally forced the god out of the shadows.
