Tony Stark was an odd one.
But then, since when has Loki ever hung around anyone normal?
He was new, and a junior, Loki couldn't help but feel young compared to this tall and slender man. And he also was incredibly distracting. The guy smiled every time Loki made a one word response to one of his obnoxious questions and his eyes. They were this dark, melted chocolate color that Loki wanted to wade into, it was so comfortable. His dark hair stood up around his head in soft looking spikes, Loki desperately wanted to run his fingers through it and smooth his hair down. 'But….that was a weird thought.' He mused and subtly moved a bit away from the tall teenager as they walked through the hallways to class.
"So I have no idea where we're going." Tony said, smiling self consciously and running a broad hand through his hair, messing it up further. Loki felt a corner of his mouth move up slightly and he took Tony's schedule from his hand and scanned it quickly. "We're actually in the right building" he replied and pointed to a doorway marked 11. "That's yours, it's a people and politics class, mine is number 8…just a few doors down…." He let his voice trail off and felt his cheeks burn.
Tony laughed and a genuine smile worked its way across his face, Loki's gaze fell to the floor, he stared hard at the brown and orange checkered ground. Anything was better than being seen, having all of his desperation and insecurities seen by this beautiful confident person. A warm, slim finger touched his chin, directing him to look up so he did, grudgingly. Tony's grin was blinding, pure white, straight teeth. "Are you offering to show me to my classes?"
"So what if I am?" Loki asked raising an eyebrow and loving the fact that he was missing most of class standing out here in the hallway, flirting. Tony snickered and put his heavy hand up to ruffle Loki's perfectly neat hair (god damn it Tony). "You're an odd one Loki" then he turned and walked over to his classroom door with a definite swagger in his step. "So I'll meet you out here after class right?" Loki couldn't help it, that just burst out of him and he could feel the heat returning to his face. Tony turned as he opened the classroom door and winked at Loki "it's a date."
When the dark haired teen finally got to his own first period there was only about 15 minutes left in class, he sauntered in and threw a lazy smirk at Victor who rolled his eyes. Loki handed his pass to Prof. Lehnsherr and the older man raised an eyebrow at him. "Busy morning?" he drawled, sharp eyes taking in Loki's flushed cheeks and mussed hair and obviously coming to his own assumptions on what it all meant. "You could say that" he replied, a slight smile tugging at his lips "ick, I don't want details, and here I thought you were above all that." The teacher said, pushing his longish dark hair out of his eyes and Loki really could see why Raven was so heads over heels for this guy, not only was he a wonderful teacher but that sarcastic, angsty humor lighting up his intelligent eyes was enough to make any weirdo of a teenager feel a trickling of desire.
Loki turned away from the teacher at the first twinge of want, what the hell was wrong with him? In one day he had gone from reliving his worst memories, to thinking about Thor's strong arms as he drove him to school, to flirting with a random new kid and now here he was feeling the strange tug of lust because of a teacher's simple words. But after the party so many months ago he just couldn't help it sometimes. He would become so overflowing with emotions like anger, or lust, or a depression so terrible that he couldn't even think anymore, and speaking of that…..Loki noticed Rouge staring at him as he moved through the rows of desks to take his seat next to Victor. He glared at the girl until she glanced away and he sat down and leaned towards Victor.
"Whys the frosh in an advanced sophomore history class?" he asked nodding in Rouge's direction and unable to control the sneering tone in his voice. Sure she hadn't really done anything to him but she liked Logan and if there was one thing Loki was it was possessive over his friends…..especially Logan.
"No idea…she just transferred in today, already pissing me off though." Victor muttered, not even glancing up from his assignment. Loki smirked, loving the fact that all of his friends were so cynical and could despise someone in an instant. "She likes Logan" he whispered in his friend's ear and was rewarded by Victor glancing up and raising an eyebrow at the girl (who was trying to be stealthy by staring at them out of the corner of her eye) "Really…." The dark haired teen's voice was intrigued and Loki knew that he was already scheming, because Victor could be just as evil as him and just as possessive over his friends.
"Does Logan know this?" Victor asked, a smirk tugging at his mouth Loki laughed "doubt it, he's oblivious to everyone and everything"
Victor finally put his pencil down and pushed his assignment away from him, leaning back in his chair and gazing straight at Rouge for a full minute before glancing back at Loki, his eyes were lit up with an almost tangible excitement and Loki remembered why they had always been such good friends, they both got an almost sick pleasure out of messing with people's heads.
"He's not oblivious to you Loki"
Well my darling, wonderful readers that took forever. And the angst is really going to heat up now with Tony finally in the picture…..LoganxLokixTony with a little Thor on the side anyone? Because I know I would enjoy that. By the way I adore Victor as my geeky, evil sidekick to Loki, any thoughts on that? Also I will have some more about Fandral….so stay tuned….because I personally think Logan, Tony, and Thor beating him up would be nice…And thanks so much for all those long sweet reviews I got. I love you all and thanks for bearing with me.
