The next day, Loki was hiding from Tony. The other was definitely more intense then he'd ever expected. He wasn't sure how to handle someone who was so much like him. Loki himself was closing himself off already, after all he'd been through, yes Tony had prodded him, wanted to know more, but Loki.

Loki felt disgusting, he had never felt more disgusting in his life before now. He was not to be controlled by Tony, yes Tony didn't want to let them take him, but what did Tony want? Was he to hide forever? No he knew, even with how used he was that he couldn't do that. Loki had pride, the pride of a diva of sorts, the kind of pride that would not be questioned. He would face his punishment, he decided that.

Which was why when he was about to leave Tony's building, he was actually tackled to the ground by Tony himself who looked at him with those brown eyes.

"What the hell are you doing!?" exclaimed Tony angrily.

"Accepting my punishment." spoke Loki looking away from Tony.

"Are you insane?" asked Tony.

Loki looked at Tony quirking an eyebrow at him. Tony sighed and got off of him, but locked Jarvis so no one could leave.

"Why do you wanna leave?" asked Tony.

"I cannot be a charity project." said Loki.

"What brought this on?" asked Tony.

"I am a man Tony, I have my own ways." spoke Loki folding his arms stubbornly.

"Well at least you're calling me Tony instead of Man of Iron now." said Tony.

Loki sighed irritably which was when Tony looked at him with a serious look. "I don't want you to go back." he said.

Loki looked back at Tony with a challenging glare. "And why not?" he asked.

Tony gulped, well he couldn't really say it could he? 'Well because I wanna kiss you, hold you, and fuck you.' Yeah that would go over well.

"Well frankly I never pictured you as the death seeker type." said Tony with a witty expression of his own, challenging Loki right back.

"You only want me here for your own pride." spoke Loki.

"What?" asked Tony.

"You wish to control me because you couldn't before, just like my father." spoke Loki.

"Don't you see that maybe your father has more control over you then you thought if you're willing to go back and be tortured in jail?" said Tony.

"My father has no control over me." spat Loki.

"I'm surprised you're even calling him your father." spoke Tony.

Loki was losing his grip, but he clenched his teeth. "Well that you are correct about." spoke Loki.

"So why do you wanna go back so badly?" asked Tony.

"Not like I really have a choice. They will find out about me, I'd rather go back on my own terms." spoke Loki.

"Face it, you're just trying to cause me trouble." said Tony.

"What am I supposed to do?! Remain here forever!? Hiding!? I was a god Tony! I don't take too well to hiding myself from the world forever, a world that is not even worthy of me but still should bow at my feet!" seethed Loki.

"So that's what this is about." spoke Tony walking over.

He looked at Loki. "You want to be in power. Even in jail, you get more power then hiding away here. You have the power to be hurt and humiliated, here you have no power because I have it all." said Tony.

Loki looked away, Tony was more perceptive then he'd first believed.

"But you didn't even bother to ask me what sort of power I'd be willing to give you." said Tony.

Loki looked at Tony a little curious, interested in his words.

"First of all when I said I wouldn't let them take you back, I damn sure didn't mean you hiding here forever. Fuck, that wouldn't work for several reasons, I hate hiding, and you're a damn sure a lot like me. I can offer you more power in this world you would rule over them, but without of course the blunt way you went about it last time." said Tony.

"I'm listening." spoke Loki.

"Become my partner, rule Stark Industries with me." said Tony.

Loki looked at him shocked at his words. "Are you always willing to trust your ex-foes so much to grant them such things?" asked Loki.

"I'm serious." said Tony.

"Why?" asked Loki.

Tony looked away and Loki sighed. "Unless you tell me why, I'm afraid I can't accept such an offer." spoke Loki.

Tony's fists clenched, why was it so hard? He didn't usually have this problem getting someone into bed. He needed to say it, say that he wanted to fuck Loki, say that he wanted him so badly it hurt. But he couldn't say it, and he wasn't sure why.

You're in love

Those dreaded words, the biggest of his insecurities was getting close to anyone that way. Tony looked increasingly like he was going to be sick, to where Loki was actually concerned for him. Loki put a hand on his shoulder, Tony flinched.

"Tony?" asked Loki.

Tony looked at Loki. "Look I know, I know it's hard to change your life so drastically. But I can't have you go back to that man. That man who wants nothing but to humiliate you." said Tony.

"What would you know of fathers?" spoke Loki looking away.

"My father ignored my existence, pretended he loved me, used me for publicity, everything under that damn sun. And then had the audacity to lie to me after his death. Telling me I was the most important thing in his life, when all he ever wanted to do was control me." said Tony.

Loki looked at Tony curiously. "I said partner, just remember that. Meaning equal to me." said Tony.

"I'm guessing someone like you that's difficult for." said Loki.

"Well we all know how fantastic I am so not sure anyone really can be as equal to me as me, but hey I like you." said Tony.

Loki raised an eyebrow, but Tony had no reason to like him, trust him, or even want to be around him. So why was the other so insistent upon keeping him there?

"I still have yet to see a reason for your troubles, ever since I got here, I don't understand your kindness." spoke Loki.

"You don't need a reason, just know that I like you, ok?" said Tony.

Loki looked at Tony skeptically, which was when Tony sighed and left, unlocking Jarvis, Loki looked at the door. The other and himself were so alike, as he tried to rack his brain, Tony had revealed more about himself to Loki, and Loki didn't understand it. He walked along until he heard the shower, seeing a door open. He glanced inside to see a very handsome and naked Tony bathing himself under the warm waters. Loki watched Tony, which was when he heard something.

"Loki..." his own name.

He saw Tony was playing with himself to the name, rubbing his hardening cock under the warm waters. Loki smirked, so that was why. The Man of Iron had a crush on him. Interesting, that actually wasn't something he'd suspected. Sure he knew he was attractive, well he was also scarred up now...so wait. What was this? Was Tony crushing on how he used to look? After all he was used goods now, no one would want a romantic relationship with him. No one ever did, all they wanted was a sexual relationship, to use and abuse him. But Tony said he was his equal...

He looked back up to see Tony rubbing that cock more, his name on Tony's lips, as Tony's head went back, his lips opened slightly as he rubbed his own erection more and more under the waters. Loki licked his lips, the other was enticing that was for sure, he couldn't say he minded being lusted after by such a man. Even so his mind was now going into somewhat of a depressive state. He wasn't as attractive as he used to be, Tony couldn't really still be attracted to him now? That was impossible. He turned away from the door way as Tony came moaning his name. He walked away, sitting down on the couch, his head in his hands. Suddenly he looked up as he heard the clearing of a throat and saw Pepper standing there.

"What are YOU doing here?" she asked.

"I am staying here with Tony." he said.

"Figures, so you must be one of his toys." she said with a sigh.

"Excuse me?" he asked.

"Pepper." said Tony as he walked in with only a pair of pants on.

"Tony, there you are." she said.

Tony was definitely tense around her. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I left a couple of things here." she said.

"Ok?" asked Tony.

"Tony this is Loki, in your home." she said.

"What of it?" he said.

"You do remember what he did, right?" she said.

"Nah Pepper, I must have hit my head." he replied sarcastically.

"Tony, what are you doing?" she asked.

"Whatever I want." he said.

He looked at Loki. "Come on." he said.

"He looks like he went through a blender Tony, last I checked, you had better standards." said Pepper.

Which was when Loki looked down and Tony turned to her. "Nope apparently he's the best standard I've ever had." he said to his ex.

Tony sighed. "Pepper, you say one word." he threatened.

Pepper was speechless at how Tony had just spoke to her, she turned away and walked out with the things she'd forgotten. Tony looked to Loki who looked pretty bitter. He sighed and went to the bar, grabbing a shot glass he poured some scotch and drank it. Loki looked curiously at him.

"You know, I can't say that I'm happy that you look the way you do. But I said it before, you're my equal. I've been through hell myself. It doesn't change anything, the way you look now. No matter what they did to you." said Tony.

Loki looked at Tony quizzically, and Tony realized it then. Loki was so much like him, they'd only really gotten to know that much about each other during those few days but he was falling for the other even more, more then he'd ever expected to.

"Hungry?" asked Tony.

"No...just very tired." said Loki.

Tony looked at Loki, and he smirked a little and led him back to his bedroom. "I'm sorry about earlier." said Loki as Tony sat down next to his bed while he laid down.

"It's alright." said Tony.

"I don't trust." spoke Loki.

"Yeah I know how that feels." said Tony gulping down another scotch.

"I don't know you very well Tony Stark." said Loki.

"Everyone knows me Loki." he replied.

Loki looked at him confused. "I'm the billionaire genius philanthropist, had a fucked up home life, can't hold a relationship worth shit, and am essentially forever supposed to be alone." said Tony.

"But you're nicer then I." said Loki.

"You're the ex-god who got so fucked over by his step father that he went nuts, rebelled. Got fucked over by the step father again, have a step brother who doesn't really give a shit but sorta does, probably because he's trying to be a super good person to try and make up for his failures as a brother in your life. You're a diva who wants power, the reason you want power is because of all the shit your step father put you through. You don't like handouts, and you're one of the most stubborn people I've ever met." said Tony.

"How do you know all that about me so well?" asked Loki.

"Because I wanted power for the same reason. To rebel against my past, to make a better future for myself, to try and escape my own flaws." said Tony.

Loki looked at Tony with those eyes, and Tony looked into those eyes back. "And you know what else?" said Tony.

"What?" asked Loki.

"You probably would like shakespeare and those other books on this planet. Things along those lines, while I like science, I like cars, I'm a nuts and bolts kind of guy. So we're not exactly alike." said Tony.

Loki chuckled a little. "I suppose I do like to read." he said.

Tony put his hand on Loki's hand. "I'm genuine when I said I want you to be my partner." he said.

Loki smiled a little looking down, Tony had officially won over his heart, however cold and messed up it was.
