Funny thing about addiction is that everything is fine and dandy as long as you can get a reliable fix. Now Tony, as proud addict of various things and owner of nearly unlimited funds, had not had very many encounters with the black demon of withdraw. Upon careful and quiet…ok not so quiet, consideration Tony found he did not in fact hold much fondness for the sensation.
There had been no dream that night. Not that Tony had expected one. Ok maybe he had hoped, which when held up against the yard stick of Pepper's morals (at least he was aware enough that his dodecahedron of variable morals had no place here) was probably a very bad thing. You know, considering he now knew that these dreams were not in fact just dreams. Son of a bitch! He'd really been sleeping with Loki…all week and dammit if he didn't want to again. He should really report this to someone. An image of Fury with the one-eyed glare of doom, and the very real possibility of his tech being confiscated, stifled that thought. I mean so what if they were real both Tony and Loki were consenting adults, and after all this was really all Thor's fault. Loki was supposed to be locked up on Asgard after all. Tony could not possibly be held responsible for apprehending a renegade god without his armor. Right he was just doing what was necessary to preserve his own life…and keep Loki distracted, yeah that was it.
Tony's head thumped on the table in his lab. Those were pathetic excuses even to his own ears. Good lord Captain hero-shorts would really flip his shit over this. Tony was pretty sure any brownie points he had earned by taking that missile into space would go right out the window. There was nothing for it really, he would just have to kick the habit and thank his luck stars he didn't get caught this time. After all how hard could it be? It was only mind-blowing sex. He was Tony fucking Stark, love them and leave them and can have anyone he wants. He could do this.
He couldn't do it.
He couldn't think, because fuck he had to know! How had Loki escaped? Why come to Tony of all people in a dream? Was he trying to seduce him to the dark side? Cause it seemed to tony that there was really only one kind of seducing going on. Addiction to pleasure, that tony could kick, but a mystery, well he'd never been very good at leaving those alone.
