Over the next few days, whenever Thor would enter a room, Tony would leave it. He knew the other avengers were curious about this, but to be honest, he didn't care.
It was none of their business anyway.
Tony was only acting so because whenever Thor saw him, he gave him the puzzled look, and Tony just couldn't deal with the implications of, or the questions about, his feelings towards Loki (and to be honest the thought of telling a near 7 ft thunder god that he found his little brother, whom he was very protective over, beautiful and sweet and oh-my-god-SEXY was slightly scary).
Loki's fever continued to rise and fall, but he was at least conscious most of the time. When Loki had first awoken from his fevered haze, Thor had been nearly in tears, and Tony wasn't ashamed to say he had been one of the first in the room, having to restrain himself from grabbing for Loki's hand in front of his team mates. The Trickster God was barely coherent, and had no idea that Tony had feelings for him. Bruce reported that Loki displayed all the symptoms of the common cold, or perhaps flu, and that the ravishing fever was due to the differences between Jotun physiology and that of a Human. Thor had confirmed this, stating that while he himself, as an Aesir, was not vulnerable to Midgardian illnesses, that he had heard tales of the havoc they reaped on the bodies of Juton-kind.
Tony found it near painful to be around Loki at times, due to his illness. It was not that Tony was afraid of getting sick, oh no, it was simply that he couldn't bear the pure misery in Loki's eyes. Couldn't bear how painful the hacking coughs sounded, couldn't bear to see the look of pure illness in Loki's eyes after one of this more violent sneezing fits. He wanted to invent a cure for the common cold for Loki, wanted to wrap him up in blankets and feed him hot chocolate and oranges (because he needed all the vitamin C he could get).
And this was why he was now making his way towards the Trickster God's room, with a mug of hot chocolate, and a fluffy green teddy he had personally named Bruce.
"Knock Knock" Tony could feel himself trembling slightly in anticipation. Why was he not answering? Had Loki passed out from fever again? Was he sleeping? He didn't want to wake him up, he needed all the rest he could get, being so ill!
Tony was just turning to leave when he heard the weak, congested, croaky words.
"Cobe in"
Loki had barely spoken since his awakening and that much was clear in his voice. The words were strained and quiet, and he dissolved into torturous sounding coughs when he had barely finished speaking.
Tony pushed the door open and entered.
okay i promise it will be better next time, and there will definitely be kissing! cross my heart and hope to die, stick a cupcake in my eye. Review pleeease?
