Blackbird
Tony was sitting in his office when suddenly someone knocked on his door.
"Come in, Loki. You know you don't have to knock," the billionaire said and made a face at some paper he was reading.
"Who's Loki?" asked a cheering voice.
Tony's head lift up with wide eyes. Man standing in the door was tall and handsome. Grinning in all his toothy glory at Stark.
"Oh my god – Lucas!" Tony threw the paper away and stood up. "What are you doing here?" he asked with amazement.
This guy was something like his friend. Long story short – they met at collage and slept together. Lucas broke Tony's seventeen year old heart (yes, he was young because he skipped the High school) and after that, they agreed (Lucas said) it will be better to stay as friends. They didn't see each other for two years.
"I'm in town for this week, so I decided I'll check up on my little Anthony," the blond man winked and made few steps into the room. Tony rolled his eyes, but smirked. "Don't call me that," he warned.
The other man laughed and nodded. "Could you pour a drink to old buddy? I'm thirsty," he smiled and went to sit on the black couch in the corner.
"You're not thirsty. You want my Scotch," Tony muttered but handed Lucas a glass. He watched as his old friend sipped and smiled at the taste.
"So – who's Loki?" Lucas asked and winked at him again.
"He's my assistant," Tony said slowly. My little blackbird, he thought.
"He? I thought you would prefer a woman... since you're just so good with them. Or are you playing for my team again?" he raised an eye brow and took another sip.
"I'm not!" Tony snapped maybe too quickly and Lucas chuckled. "Moreover I don't sleep with my employees, so it would make any difference if it's woman or man," he added angrily.
"Yeah, yeah. I know – Saint Tony Stark," his companion rolled eyes and smirked.
"Cut it, Luke! You come only to piss me off or what?" the brunet growled and suddenly wanted his old friend to leave.
"Calm down, honey. Gee, you're so touchy sometimes," Lucas smirked again and staid quiet for a while. "That Loki of yours...?"
"Yes?"
"Is he tall, black hair, pale skin, long legs?" he made a short pause, "An amazing ass?" he lowered his voice and chuckled when Tony started to choke on his own Scotch.
"Yes, all that previous," he said when he was able to speak again, "And I don't look at his ass."
"Well, I did and it's totally worth killing," the blond man chuckled again and Tony froze. Lucas was rogue and Tony knew exactly what did that little sentence meant.
"Forget about him, Luke. Don't even think about it!"
"What? He's reserved or something?"
"No, he's-"
"Then I don't see any problem. You don't want him, he's probably free. And he's absolutely gorgeous," Lucas leered at Tony.
"You'll try something and they'll find your body in the woods," Tony growled angrily. Loki was too innocent for Lucas, too important. "Loki is mine-"
"I assure you!" suddenly an angry voice interrupted him, "that I don't belong to anyone, Mr Stark." Loki was standing in the doors – his eyes dangerous and his body tense.
"Loki, I-"
"Loki," Lucas purred and stood up. Tony felt sick. "It's nice to meet you officially," he smiled too brightly and raised his hand to Loki to shake. But the assistant of Tony Stark ignored it and shot him a death glare. "I don't know you, sir. And I'm not willing to change it," he snapped at Lucas.
Thank god, thought Tony.
"Oh, that's pity. I was hoping to get to know you better, Loki. My name is Lucas Frauder" Lucas was still smiling too filthy for Tony's taste.
"And why do you want to know me better?" Loki asked carefully.
"Because I would like to have a dinner with you."
"Nonsense," Tony said maybe too loud. But this was Loki, his assistant, his blackbird. "He can't go with you. He doesn't want to. He-"
"I'll gladly accept your invitation," Loki said vehemently.
"Loki, don't be stupid. Lucas doesn't want..." he bit his bottom lip. His assistant frowned at him. "Where's your rational judgement? You and this man...?"
Loki shot him even more hideous glare than he gave Lucas before and he approached to the blond man. "Shall we, Mr Frauder?"
"Lucas!" Tony growled, "try something and I'll-"
"Loki said he wants to go, Tony."
"Mr Frauder is right. You paid me, Mr Stark, but what I do in my free time is none of your business. When I want to go to dinner with someone, I'll go," he looked him in the eye, "Unless you don't want to see my dismissal?"
Loki waited for a moment. Lucas waited too. And Tony just stood there speechless. He was looking as his ex-friend was leaving with his little brave blackbird and felt something like fear in his chest.
So, do you like it? How do you think the dinner will go? And why is Tony suddenly so protective?
