Chapter 3: Everybody Knows

Everyone Looked at Clint, "What did you see?"

Clint looked at them and smirked, "Why don't you guess?"

Natasha gave him the 'no bullshit' look, "Fine" he sighed "Loki is upstairs with Stark and from what I could see they are together. They were cuddling on the couch when I came to tell you guys." Clint made a slight gagging noise. He still hadn't come to terms with the fact that Tony was in love with Loki and he doesn't think that he will any time soon.

Pepper and Bruce smiled. They were really happy for their friend even if the person that he had fallen in love with tried to take over earth. They both just wanted Tony to be happy and now he finally was.

Natasha had mixed feelings about the whole Loki/Stark issue, relationship whatever you want to call it. Even though Stark didn't trust her as far as he could throw her, they had still formed a slight friendship, well they were past just tolerating each other. She was happy for Tony but she just hoped that he knew what he was doing. She didn't believe that Loki had changed at all and like Clint she couldn't trust the god at all.

Clint didn't know how to feel about Loki and Stark. He was still traumatized by being controlled by the Tesseract, he still hated Loki for what he did to him and for what he did to New York. He honestly didn't know if he could get used to Loki and Stark together. Loki still scared the shit out of him so he wanted to stay as far away from the god as possible.

The next morning Pepper, Natasha, Bruce, Clint and Thor were all waiting in the kitchen on the Avengers floor of Stark Tower. Thor was the only one that didn't know about Tony and Loki. Clint smirked slightly knowing that Thor was the only person in the room that didn't know. The smirk didn't go unnoticed by Natasha though, she elbowed him in the side and glared at him. Clint just shrugged and rolled his eyes.

Tony and Loki get out of the lift and walk over to the kitchen. They saw Clint, Pepper, Bruce, Natasha and Thor already gathered around the kitchen island, each one of them turned around to stare at them both. Tony just grinned at them all and made a dash for the coffee machine. Loki was close behind him, he glanced at Thor and saw the happy look in his eyes. Loki quickly glanced away and focused his attention on Tony. Tony turned around with his coffee, he noticed that everyone was staring at him intently.

Pepper looks at Tony and smiles "It's about time."

At the same time Clint yells, "About fucking time." Everyone stares at Clint.

Tony's eyes widen and he groans, "I really need to put traps in the vents." Loki raises an eyebrow at him "Barton was in the vents watching us last night."

Loki sends a deadly look Clint's way. Clint flinches and hides behind Bruce. Tony gives Clint a shit-eating grin, Clint glares at him behind Bruce's back. Thor speaks up before an argument between Tony and Clint could break out.

"Are you happy Brother?"

Loki moves closer to Tony and answers Thor, "Yes Thor I am. I suppose that I should thank you."

Thor smiles widely at Loki and goes to hug him but at the deadly glare that Loki gives him he moves away and just continues to smile. He was very happy that Loki has finally found someone to be happy with and care for. He just hoped that the Man of Iron would be able to keep Loki happy and not let him down like he did.

Eventually they all moved to the couch. Clint sat as far away from Loki that he could. Loki smirked he would have fun making Barton's life a living hell. Pepper of course wanted to know everything.

Tony groans, "Pep there's not much to tell. All we did was talk and watch movies."

"And cuddle on the couch." Clint whispers.

"Shut the fuck up Barton if you don't want Loki break your bow or throw you out a window." Clint glares at Tony again, he already wasn't liking Loki being in the Tower. He'll have to spend most of his time in the vents or in the gym. Natasha looks at him knowing how uncomfortable he was.

"You'll get used to it." She whispers. She was enjoying watching Clint be so intimidated by Loki; as much as she didn't trust him she could get used to Clint being so intimidated all the time, well until he gets used to it.

At that point Steve walks in to find everyone on the couch. He's eyes scan each one of them but when he spots Tony and Loki cuddled together on the two seater. Tony smirks when he makes eye contact with Steve. Steve just stands there, eyes wide, red faced and his mouth may have been hanging open.

Clint bursts out laughing at Steve's reaction and Tony couldn't hide a small snicker. Natasha was barely containing a smile and the others were trying their hardest to stay focused on the TV.

Eventually though Tony decides to speak up, "Who wants to catch Steve up?"

Clint jumps to the opportunity to explain something like this to Cap. He really wants to traumatise the guy but Tony might want to have a go of that later so he just decides to tell Cap the main things.

He drags Steve into the kitchen away from the others. Tony's smile falls when he realises that Clint was dragging Steve away to the kitchen.

"Aww come on," He whines. They all just shake their heads at him. Loki gives him a rare genuine smile and it's something that Tony wants to see on his face all the time but he knows that that's not possible. Let's see if I can change that.

In the kitchen Steve looks at Clint and raises an eyebrow. Clint smiles at the captain and then decides to explain.

"I don't know if you had figured it out Steve but Loki and Tony have been having sex for a while now." At the mention of sex Steve's face goes bright red, Clint laughs when he sees Steve's face. Oh how he loved to corrupt Steve and he knew that Tony loved it too so he was pleased that Stark was missing a very good opportunity to make Captain America feel awkward.

Clint continues to explain to Steve. When they finally emerge from the kitchen the look on Steve's face is priceless.
