So now you noticed that the updating will be a bit slow because both me and my beat reader are busy with work and schoolwork. Hope you can bare the wait!

Here is a start to all the drama that will appear. :P


Chapter 11

Loki sat by the kitchen table, writing down more ideas in his notebook as he ate a sandwich. He was waiting for Tony, who was going to take him shopping with him, he needed advice apparently. Natasha and Clint were at school so he was all alone for a change and enjoyed the peace and quiet. It had been a week since they got together again and their relationship was stronger than before. A lot of people would find it weird that Loki wasn't on Tony like a hawk after what happened at the party. Loki trusted his boyfriend and didn't believe whatever made up story the press made to break them up. Tony was more on his guard now when it came to flirting with women or men, making sure that he really wasn't interested and if they tried anything like the girl who almost ruined everything, he would have them tossed out of the party head first. The genius would not get into that position again, ever. He also promised Loki to never drink like that again, it had scared Loki so much that when he tried to drink one glass of wine, he tensed up and counted his glasses. So Tony kept drinking to social gatherings and sometimes shared one glass with Loki when they had a night together. Yes, Loki was happy, in love and not afraid to show it to the world. He hoped so much that it would never stop, but of course, it can never go his way.

There was suddenly a very strong knock on the door and Loki's body tensed up. Tony didn't have that knock, his knock was determined and somehow cocky as he was. Natasha had keys and Clint wouldn't come over if Natasha wasn't around. There was no one else that would come over unnoticed. The knock was heard again and this time Loki remembered why he tensed up the minute he heard it.

Thor.

Loki walked over to the door and looked through the peep hole. There he stood, the man that he had called brother for so long that it hurt to tell him that he wasn't his brother anymore, but after what he did, Loki just couldn't forgive him that easily. Should he tell him to go away? What was he doing here in the USA anyway? If he had travelled all the way from England and managed to find his apartment, he must really want something. So he opened the door with a stone cold look. "Thor." He said with a stern voice.

"Brother." Loki snorted and looked away. "Can I come in?" The big blond brute asked him.

Loki sighed and stepped away, not feeling to make a scene in the hallway. Thor walked in and looked around the flat. Loki closed the door and walked over to the kitchen table to close his notebook, as Tony said, for blue/green eyes only. "What do you want, Thor?" Loki asked, not facing the big oaf, instead he took the plate he had had his sandwich on and placed it in the sink.

"I wanted to see how my brother was doing?" Loki could tell it was a lie, Thor sucked at lying. So Loki just raised his eyebrow at him, telling him that he doesn't buy it. Thor sighed and leaned on the back of the couch. "I just want to ask what happened?" He asked and dragged a hand through his long blond hair.

"You have to be more specific?" Loki said with a smirk, knowing that he had done a lot the past weeks that would have angered Odin. Because that was why he was here for right? Odin sent him.

Thor looked at him with a frown. "When we lost contact of course." He said, dumbfounded as usual. So Odin didn't send him.

"You should know what happened." Loki stated with a grim look on his face and took his notebook to lie in his bedroom. Thor only watched him, eyed the book in his hand with curiousness.

"Why won't you just talk to me and stop going around the questions." Thor said and followed his brother to the bedroom.

Loki didn't really like to be cornered like this. If he wanted to get out of the bedroom he had to push Thor, who stood by the doorframe, away. "I don't want to talk to you. Period." Loki states and puts his bed between him and the blond man.

Thor looks down, looking like a kicked puppy when he noticed the band t-shirt on the bed. "I didn't know you wore these kinds of clothes." Thor took the t-shirt and looked at the dark, blue t-shirt with golden letters that said Bon Jovi on it.

There was no reason to hide it anymore. Besides, the tee was too big for him to say that he suddenly just felt like buying a band shirt, but he couldn't come up with other lies that were better than that. But why lie, he didn't want to lie anymore. "It's my boyfriend's." Loki said with a small smirk.

Thor's jaw tensed and he lay the tee back on the bed. "Why are you doing this?" Thor asked and looked around the room, trying not to look at the tee again.

Loki sighed in annoyance. "Once again, Thor. You will have to be more specific." He said and dragged a hand through his hair.

"I thought you were done with your experimenting when we were in college." Thor growled at him, obviously annoyed by Loki's attitude.

Loki wanted to punch something, no, he wanted to punch Thor. "You big oaf! It wasn't experimenting. I actually liked Fandral and he liked me equally, but you just had to tell Odin about us and make my life a living hell." Loki hissed back at him.

Thor eyes went wide. "You're saying that everything that happened when we were in college, you getting into fights with dad and then suddenly left us to live here was my entire fault?" He said. A hint of anger in there and it made Loki tense up more. The last time they talked like this it had ended up Thor punching him in the face just as their mother had walked in and pulled them apart.

"Not your entire fault, but you sure had a big part of it, daddy's boy." Loki hissed back and backed away until he hit the wall.

"I did it all for you!" Thor roared and stepped closer to the bed.

Loki snorted. "How? Telling Odin that I was gay, so he could stop me? Did you know that he actually tried to beat the gay out of me? Or that every time I had a new friend he would check up on them to make sure that they were just friends and nothing more? Or that he once hit our mother because she tried to protect me?" Loki took in a deep breathe to gather himself for more. "Do you know that I've been living a lie for five years, to please that monster? That I have hidden who I really am? That I didn't dare to love anyone in fear that Odin would come after them?" Loki said and started to shake. Thor had a very dark expression on his face and Loki was actually in fear that he had pushed this too far.

"Is it this Tony Stark who has put you up to be his little toy boy or something?" Thor asked with a growl.

"What?" Loki asked. This brute hasn't heard anything he had just said.

"Loki? Are you here? Why don't you answer your phone?" The voice that Loki loved so much was heard behind Thor and this was the first time that he wished he didn't hear it.

Thor turned around and saw the billionaire looking at him with confusion. The big man stormed over to the genius and grabbed his leather jacket, forcing him up against the wall and Tony could feel the arc reactor press a bit too much into his chest. The genius let out a whimper from the pain. "You have made my brother mad!" Thor growled at the genius, who was trying to get out of his grip in panic of him breaking the only thing that kept him alive.

Loki ran over to them and tried to pry his arms away, seeing the pain in his boyfriend's face. "Thor! Let him go, you're hurting him!" Loki cried out, feeling panic drown his senses. "Please, Thor! I love him, let him go!" He tried and pulled as much as he could at the strong arms.

The darkness in Thor's eyes went away and he released the genius, who fell to the floor, breathing heavily and a hand on his reactor. Loki fell down beside him and held him close. Thor just looked at the genius and his brother, not really knowing what to do with himself. "I'll come back." He said and walked out of the apartment without looking back.

"Love, are you okay?" Loki asked and cupped Tony's cheek, making him look into his eyes.

Tony started to breathe normally again when he felt that the threat was gone and that he was in Loki's arms. "Yeah." He whispered out and leaned closer to Loki.

"I'm so sorry." Loki said and wrapped his arms around the genius.

"Don't be, I'm okay and you are okay." Tony said and wrapped his own arms around the lean torso. Loki sighed in relief and rested his head on his boyfriend's shoulder, his mouth close to his neck. "I love you too." Tony said and planted a kiss on Loki's shoulder. "Let's sit on the couch. My back is kind of sore." The genius then said and pulled away from Loki, who nodded.

They walked over to the couch and Tony sat down in the corner, letting Loki lean against him. Tony's arms wrapped around him, making him feel safe. The adrenaline washed away from Loki and he started to freeze and felt tired all of a sudden. Tony felt him shake so he took the blanket that was neatly folded on the couch back and draped it over them. "Weren't we supposed to go shopping?" Loki asked him, but felt so comfortable under the blanket and in Tony's arms that he didn't want to move.

"We can do that tomorrow." Tony said and settled down so he was lying down as well, with Loki on top of him. "Just sleep." He whispered before sleep overtook him.


Tony decided to have Loki stay at his place for a few days since Thor said that he would be back and he didn't want Loki to be alone in the apartment that had no security or what so ever. Loki had been a bit reluctant to take refuge at the tower. But he gave in when Tony started to talk about him staying at his place instead. It would be too crowded with two couples in an apartment meant for one couple. They warned Natasha and Clint about Thor and Clint went all protective boyfriend on Natasha and said that he would stay with her. She made a good valid point that she can protect herself, but found his protectiveness sexy. So now Loki sat, once again, on the balcony, protected from the sun by a huge sunshade, with his laptop on his lap and writing down the story. He hadn't told anyone, not even Tony that he was writing down their story. It had been Natasha's idea, saying that women love gay porn and forbidden love stuff. And their story was something you could find in a movie, or a really crappy soap opera that would be really popular just because it had gay love in it.

Tony stood in the kitchen with a tablet in front of him, going through some new ideas for the company and waited for the coffee to be done. He glanced out to his extremely sexy boyfriend, who was consumed in his work.

'Sir, Dr. Banner is on his way up.' Jarvis informed him and after just one minute the elevator doors opened and a smiling doctor walked over to him.

"Glad to see you looking more human." The doctor said and got a bro hug from the genius who laughed.

"I've missed you, Brucy." Tony said and went to the cabinet to get another mug for the doctor.

"I seriously doubt that when you are too busy with your boyfriend." Bruce said with a warm smile as he looked out to the man, who was completely oblivious to his presence.

"Have you met Loki?" Tony asked confusedly as he poured coffee into three cups.

Bruce nodded. "I found him when he had found you passed out in the workshop." He said with a stern voice.

"I was wondering how he knew that I need water when I wake up." Tony said with a smirk.

"You promised me not to do that again." Bruce said a bit angrily.

Tony gave him a cup and nodded. "I know I did, but I never thought that I would want to drink my sorrows away for a guy." Tony argued back and walked over to the balcony door to get Loki. "Babe, the coffee is done and we have a guest." He said standing by the door.

"I'm just going to end this sentence." He said completely sucked into the computer.

Tony chuckled and walked back to the kitchen and took his cup to take a sip. "I went through all the news when I left him with you. You have been quiet busy." Bruce stated with a small smirk. Tony nodded and had a warm smile on his face as he looked over at Loki again, who was shutting down his computer and lay it in the protective shadow before walking in, looking all sexy in only jeans and a t-shirt.

"Oh, hello again." Loki said and a small blush crept up his face from the embarrassing memories of the night he had met the man the first time. He had cried in front of the man, for goodness sake. Loki walked over to Tony and took his cup, feeling a hand placed on his lower back. "I'm sorry, I never asked for your name that night." Loki stated with a shy smile.

Bruce smiled warmly at the man. "Bruce Banner." The doctor presented himself to him.

"He is an old friend to me. He helped me build this." Tony said and tapped his reactor. Loki nodded and took a sip from his coffee.

"So you live together now?" Bruce asked curiously.

Both men shock their heads, Tony a bit sadly. "No, my stepbrother is in town and I want to avoid him." Loki said, not noticing Tony's pouting. Then his phone rang and he saw his publisher's name on the screen. "I'm sorry, but I have to take this." He said and walked out to the balcony again.

"Who is this stepbrother?" Bruce asked with a raised eyebrow.

Tony looked to see if the door to the balcony was closed before speaking. "Thor Odinson, he is sort of against me and Loki being a couple. Actually, he is against Loki being gay." Tony told him with a sad look.

"Thor Odinson you say. I've met him." Bruce said and earned a curious look from his friend. "I met him at a charity gala in Sweden. Really nice guy, but a bit lost I guess. Now I know why." Bruce said and looked out to the man, who was on the phone.

"He didn't seem lost to me when he pushed me up against the wall." Tony pouted, but he did remember the sad and angry eyes that stared him down, blaming him.

"He misses him, a lot." Bruce told him. "What I reckoned he is burdened with being the greatest son and allot of pressure on his shoulder because of his father, who has high expectations on his son." Bruce said with a frown.

"What do you mean?" Tony asked his friend, knowing that look meant that his friend was on to something.

"Apparently, Odin wants him to become a successful politician like he is, but I've heard that Thor doesn't like how Odin looks down on the people he is supposed to support." Bruce said with a smirk.

"Huh, poor smuck" Tony said and shrugged his shoulder.

"Who's a smuck?" Loki's voice was heard as he walked over to Tony again and felt the hand return to his lower back, like it belonged there.

"Oh, just a guy we know." Tony lied, not knowing why though.
