Loki opened his eyes finding himself on the roof of Stark Tower. It was filled with snow and smiled, remembering. He turned, seeing Tony and himself walk out. Tony smiled, "C'mon. Snow only comes once a year, enjoy it!"

Loki looked around, seeing the snow fall, "Yes, but you know about my Jotün form. I'm not very fond of it."

Tony chuckled, "I've seen your form and I think it's amazing." Tony made a snowball, throwing it at Loki and laughing.

Loki yelled, "Hey!" He laughed, making a snowball himself and throwing it at Tony. Loki let clones surround Tony, all throwing a snowball to Tony.

Tony chuckled and crouched down, trying to cover himself from all of the snowballs. Tony laughed, "Not fair!"

Loki smiled widely, "It's fair when you throw a snowball to a god." Both of them began running around, throwing snowballs at each other. Tony and Loki bumped, falling on top of the snow.

Tony chuckled, seeing Loki on top of him, "You might want to move unless you actually like this position." Tony smirked.

Loki hit Tony's head gently, "Shut up, Stark." He moved, laying on the snow beside him. He turned his head, seeing Tony smiling and looking at the night sky.

Loki was looking at the memory, smiling, "God Anthony, you're an idiot and I was an idiot as well for falling for you."

Tony smiled and pointed at the sky, "When I was younger, I used to count the stars to relax myself. Sometimes I'd do it when it was snowing and I'd fall asleep on the snow. I'd be sick for the next two days but since I was so far ahead in school, it didn't matter."

Loki looked at him, smiling.

Loki chuckled and opened his eyes, finding himself in the bedroom. He sighed deeply and walked out, still wearing Tony's sweater. He noticed it was still dark outside and decided to go to the roof, seeing snow, "I'd forgotten its winter again." Loki laid on the snow, seeing only one star, "And what would you do if you only found one or none?" He chuckled a bit and got up, "I miss you Anthony." He walked back in as the sun began to rise. He returned to their bedroom, removing Tony's sweater, smiling a bit, "You're coming home today no doubt. If I fail, I'll find another way to bring you home sooner, but you're not staying there, I promise." Loki took a shower after and changed, walking to the kitchen. He found breakfast on the table and sat down, eating and reading another journal of Tony's. He smiled as he noticed it held all of Tony's thoughts about him. Soon he began to see the thoughts change to memories. It cut as soon as there was nothing else to read. He had finished when he heard Thor burst in with Steve.

Thor smiled, "Morning brother! Ready to go?"

Steve was behind him in his Captain America uniform, holding his shield, "Morning Loki."

Loki looked at Thor and nodded. He looked at Steve and chuckled, "Just as I suspected. Coming in uniform as always, soldier?"

Steve nodded and looked at Loki, "It is a mission, isn't it?"

Loki sighed deeply and rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Yes it's a mission but you'll look more obvious like that. Nevermind, it's fine. I'll be camouflaging us anyway." Loki looked at Thor, "Yes, I'm ready to go."

Thor smiled widely, "Then let us go!" Thor walked to the balcony, calling Heimdall and embracing both of them as the BiFrost traveled them to Asgard. Upon arriving, Loki was about to run out when he heard Heimdall speak.

Heimdall said, "Loki, you might need to hurry a bit more. Your mortal is dying."

Loki looked at him with a worried face, breathing shakily.

Heimdall spoke again, "Will you two leave Loki and I for a minute?"

Thor nodded and walked out, Steve following. Loki saw them and turned to Heimdall, "What is it?"

Heimdall finally turned to see him, "You look better, Loki. Was the mortal taking care of you?"

Loki chuckled, nodding, "Of course he is. Why would I go get him if he didn't? Where are you going with this, Heimdall?"

Heimdall nodded, "I just wanted to warn you that when you do retrieve him, he might not be the same. Not for a while in fact. At first, the odds may seem impossible but the odds will retrieve due to your favor. Lastly, just like the mortals say; hope, patience, and love are some of the main keys to keeping something. No matter how hard the cynics tell you it's never going to be retrievable again, you reach hard for it. Don't force it. You'll retrieve your great position in Asgard soon enough, but not just yet. Hurry to him. Now."

Loki looked at him, extremely conflicted and ran out, "Thor, keep your promise. I need to heal him quickly when I return." Loki quickly passed through, going to his small passage. He was glad no guards came his way when he finally reached it. He turned to see Steve right behind him and transformed both of them into chitauri. He grabbed Steve's wrist and went through the portal, arriving and seeing nobody there. Loki signaled Steve to be quiet as he walked through the passageway, seeing plenty of chitauri. Too many in fact. He saw most of them leave when he heard a familiar scream. He turned in the direction of it to only feel heavy footsteps and see Thanos in front of him.

Thanos growled and looked at the him, "Take care of the mortal. Be sure he's dead and stays dead."

Loki spoke in their language, assuring Thanos and hurrying to the room after he saw Thanos officially leave. Loki rushed in and looked around quickly. He finally found Tony, pale and still, as if they cut him into pieces and tried to stitch him back together. He cursed under his breath and rushed to him, checking for a pulse and finding none. Loki shook his head, "Tony...please!" Loki was going to try to start his heart again when he heard the heavy footsteps again. He motioned Steve to pick Tony up and whispered, "Pretend like he's nothing to you." Loki saw Thanos walk in, smiling in satisfaction.

Thanos smirked and looked at Steve, chuckling, "Both of you are new. Aren't you? Come back from the academy? Freed from it? Well you're already doing a pleasurable job for me. Don't expect any other job from me." Thanos took out a sharp, but odd looking dagger, smiling manically, "See, the funny part of seeing a dead body..." He took the dagger and carved very deeply into Tony's back, leaving his signature on his 'work of art'. He smiled in satisfaction again, "You get to sign your work. And all it really does is make the body in worse condition." His disturbing smile disappeared, "Take him away."

Loki walked out with Steve, signaling him to follow. He walked through the empty hallways, finding the portal and making sure Steve went through first. He switched them back to their normal forms. He closed the portal once he went through and transported all of them to Thor, "Thor, like you promised."

Thor looked at them and nodded, taking them to the healing room. Loki took Tony from Steve's arms and rushed in, laying him on the bed, "Healers!" He saw the healers rush in and began working on trying to start his heart again. He was glad healers made an oath to not speak of whom they healed or what happened. Odin wasn't very fond of the place. He remembered his mom though. He walked out of the room, bumping into Frigga.

Frigga gasped and apologized, recognizing Loki and smiling, "Hello Loki. What are you doing here? Especially since your father could find you." She hugged him and let go soon after.

Loki hugged her back, smiling. He did miss being in his mom's arms. He looked at the doors, frowning, "T-tony...he's hurt and it's my fault. I didn't protect him. Last I saw him, h-he had no pulse. What if they can't bring him back? What if it's too late? He looked horrible-" Loki's voice cut and he whimpered, shutting his eyes and looking away.

Frigga looked at him and frowned, embracing him, "He's the mortal you love, correct?"

Loki hugged her back and nodded in her arms.

Frigga held him and ran her hand through his hair softly, "Everything will be fine." Frigga saw the healers walk out, shaking their head.

Loki heard them walk out and turned, seeing them shake their heads, "No. No! NO! He can't be dead! He can't!" Loki burst inside, seeing Tony still and pale. Loki shook his head and ran to the bed, "No! Tony Stark! You're not dying on me!" Loki began to generate his magic through his hands, creating enough to use as defibrillators. He pushed his hands strongly on Tony's chest, trying to start his heart again. The tears slid down his cheeks as he kept trying. He began to get angry and a burst of magic was pushed into Tony's chest. Tony coughed and groaned, staying unconscious. Loki was shaking and he checked Tony's pulse, letting out a relieved sigh.

He turned to find the healers walking in. He wiped his tears and kissed Tony's cheek, whispering softly, "Please don't leave me, Tony." He walked out and waited. As he waited, he talked to Frigga and smiled at the fact that she wanted to meet Tony when he was fully well. She was granting him permission to return to Asgard. After, Frigga left and the healers finally finished. The last healer walked out, trying to avoid Loki entering. Loki sighed deeply, "What is it?" The healer looked at him and sighed, "Forgive me but it seems he doesn't remember anything except for the main memories of you." Loki looked at the healer and walked through, seeing Tony in a bad condition still but it was better compared to before.

Tony's head was pounding and he groaned slightly, coughing a bit. He heard footsteps and turned seeing Loki. He chuckled lightly and looked at him, only remembering that the last time he saw him was when Thor had left with Loki back to Asgard. He took a deep breath and saw Loki with a lost face, "Where am I, Loki? Why are you here?"

Loki looked at Tony, noticing the same expression he had when they talked for the first time in the tower during Loki's attack. He no longer found that warm and loving expression that was only reserved for him. He heard him and looked at him, more focused, "You're in Asgard, Tony. I'm here because-" Loki was cut off and sighed deeply, "Well, do you remember anything about us?"

Tony looked around as he heard he was in Asgard. He heard Loki cut off and thought, chuckling, "Well if you count that lovely conversation we had before you threw me out the window, then that's the most I remember. Plan to throw me out again, Loki? And since when am I Tony to you? You'd usually say Stark."

Loki looked at him and sighed deeply, "Please, can you think Tony? Think hard. I know it's still in your memories. Please."

Tony raised his brow, "In my memories? What's in my memories? You're not making any sense."

Loki took a deep breath and looked at him, "Anthony, you and me, we were together. You went missing for three days and I found you but we were dating and in love. Please tell me you remember."

Tony looked at him, smirking and laughing after, "You aren't serious, right? I don't remember going missing. Or dating you. Or actually loving you. First of all, why would I date you? You're you. I would only date you as a joke. I mean you wouldn't take it seriously either. Just the sound of it is a laughing joke."

Loki looked at him, hurt by his word and whimpered softly. He heard his last words and glared at him, "Damn it Anthony! Stop playing around with me! I miss you! Please stop joking around! I'm dead serious if you need to know."

Tony heard him yell and looked at his eyes, sighing, "Loki, this joke is getting pretty lame. Can I go home now? Can you take me home, please? Think what you'd like but I don't remember any of it."

Loki heard him and rushed out, shutting the door and yelling. He hit the wall harshly, leaving his hand bruised. He kept hitting the wall in anger. Thor heard and rushed in, pushing Loki away, "Brother! What are you doing?"

Loki looked at him with teary eyes, wiping his tears and rubbing his hand, "What does it matter to you, Thor?"

Thor sighed, "Please, brother. Tell me."

Loki looked down, "H-he doesn't remember me at all. How am I supposed to spend time with someone I love who doesn't remember or take the idea of us being together seriously. What if I've lost him?"

Thor looked at the door and placed his arm on Loki's shoulder, "Don't worry brother! You are amazing at magic, I'm sure you can figure something out. Doesn't this happen to mortals usually after a harsh accident or happening? Perhaps Steve knows!" Thor walked out and returned with Steve.

Steve looked at them both and smiled, "What happened? Is he awake? Is he well?"

Loki glared at him and sighed, "He's lost his memories. Well the ones including me. Does this happen to Midgardians?"

Steve looked at Loki and thought, shrugging, "Guess it just depends. Usually doctors just recommend to return them home since there's items that could help remind them of what they've forgotten. Is it fine if I go see him?"

Loki nodded softly, looking away. He sighed and looked at Thor, "Could you bring me some supplies, Thor? And return quickly?"

Thor smiled and nodded, "Absolutely! What did you have in mind?"

Loki conjured a small piece of paper which had a list, giving it to Thor, "Quickly please."

Thor looked and nodded, leaving quickly.

Loki looked at the door, knowing that Tony would just look at him like a lost cause. He sighed and walked in, sitting on the bench that was in the room. He conjured a book, listening to their conversation.

Tony looked at Steve, "So I'm guessing I did forget some memories...that's new."

Steve nodded, looking at him, "So you absolutely don't remember anything?"

Tony shook his head and shrugged, "No. I feel like a car ran me over." He leaned back as he closed his eyes, sighing. He fell asleep soon, turning from time to time.

Thor arrived a while later with Sif, carrying all the things. Loki turned and saw Sif, sighing deeply, "Couldn't you have kept it a secret, Thor?"

Sif rolled her eyes, "Calm down, Loki. Be grateful I don't tell on anyone and I actually care. That's why I decided to help." They both set the things down on the table as Loki stood up, looking at them. He approved and thanked both of them, making them all disappear.

Sif took her leave and Thor looked at them, "Shall we return to Midgard?" Loki nodded and turned to Steve, seeing him already picking up Tony. Tony groaned slightly in his arm, whimpering at the pain. Thor lead them back to the BiFrost.

Heimdall looked at them and walked to Loki, "Remember what I told you." Loki recalled and thought about it, seeing as the BiFrost travelled them back to Stark Tower. He told Steve to return him to their bedroom, sighing.

Thor looked at him, "He'll remember."

Loki looked back at him, nodding, "He has to. I'm not giving up on him."

Steve returned as he had found out that SHIELD needed both Thor and him. The team was assigned a mission, and they were the only two missing. Both of them said their goodbyes, walking out of Stark Tower. Loki walked to the kitchen, conjuring all of the items he had made disappear earlier onto the table. He found an empty cabinet, putting them in there as he placed a spell to lock it. He told Jarvis to ask the cooks for some food as he made a tea for Tony to help with his injuries. He froze when he heard things falling, rushing to their bedroom. Tony was trying to walk as he continuously failed, shaking. He hurried to him and helped him up, walking in the direction back to the bed. Tony shook in his arms and tried to walk to the other side. Loki sighed deeply, "Anthony, what is it? You aren't supposed to be walking." Tony groaned and whispered, "Thanos...Thanos is after me. He won't leave." Tony fainted and Loki caught him quickly, holding him in his arms, "Anthony...you didn't forget...he's making you forget."
