Loki hadn't expected to wake up naked on the living room floor curled up on a hot body which held him close. Then the memories of the previous day came back to him. The cookies, the sex, the dream. He couldn't lose Tony again, he would have to do all in his power to keep him alive, but somehow he doubted Tony would give up being iron man.

Loki just lay there for a while, taking in the heat and feel of his man-pillow.

"you know Tony, someone should bottle your scent." sleepy eyes met his and smiled.

"morning princess." for once, Loki didn't retort to the mention of this nickname.

"so, master of Christmas, what do you have planned for today?" Loki asked with mild enthusiasm.

"today, my dear, I'll have Jarvis order us some cookies. Then we can decorate them. We can eat some mince pies, and then later, I'll unpack the mistletoe." He moved his head into an uncomfortable position so he could kiss Loki. "what do you think?"

"sound acceptable. But I wish to shower and change first." Loki got up and pulled Tony to his feet, dragging him to the bedroom with him.

The shower was cool and relaxing, as were the cool hands on Tony's back. The cool hands on Tony's sides. The cold hands on Tony's thighs. The cool hands on Tony's-

"really? In the shower?" Loki just span him quickly round and into his chest, like they were dancing, and pulled Tony's chest into his. One of those cool hands wrapped around Tony's waist while the other found itself in Tony's hair.

Tony couldn't help but admire the way the water would cascade down Loki's chest and arms. The way it would drip from the ends of those raven locks. Loki smelt of burned mint, now THAT was a scent Tony wanted to bottle.

Loki's lips were cool as his hands, and his neck left a pleasant tingle on Tony's fingertips. He felt a kind of electricity move from his fingers, up his arm, and tickle down his spine, making his breathing a little irregular. Loki's breath on Tony's lips seemed to pull him in. Loki's mouth seemed to hold some kind of gravitational pull that only Tony was susceptible to.

Their bodies seemed to press together of their own accord. No touch seemed to be enough, no kiss was deep or long enough, they weren't close enough, nothing was enough. And then suddenly it was. Loki had Tony up against the tiled walls, holding Tony's thighs around his waist.

The water was freezing cold by the time they were done. Tony put his back against the side an slid down the the floor, just sitting there. Loki sat beside him, resting a head on his shoulder. When they finally moved it was around four o'clock.

"is it me, or have we been having sex a lot more recently?"

"just making up for lost time, you've been pretty busy recently." Tony reached across the counter to kiss Loki in attempt to make him feel a little better. It had the desired effect.

"you want to decorate those cookies?" Loki nodded and got the icing and cookies out of the bag on the worktop.

Tony couldn't stop making reindeers, trying and improving at making them a likeness to Loki. Loki had made an iron man, an arc, and an evil looking face. Tony had never had him down as the artistic type.

Once they were done, they hung them on a make-shift tree in the workshop as began work on the suits, munching on each other's cookies as they went.

"I'm getting crumbs all in the suit." Loki complained. He looked over at Tony who was actually wearing a bib with a little tray at the bottom to catch bits of food. "you're such a strange man Tony stark." Tony munched on the rest of his cookie.

"you said I was beautiful the other day." he took another bite out of the iron man cookie. "hey, I just had an idea. How about as little thingies for the wedding, we give everyone a little cookie of themselves." Tony stood up to declare his epiphany and was tempted to shout "eureka", but Loki wouldn't et it anyway.

"I think that's a terrible idea, but do it anyway." Tony grinned and started typing away, probably annoying pepper with his idea. "hey, Tony. Come look at this." Loki sounded a little troubled, concerned, confused. Tony was over there right away, standing behind him and looking at the suit. "I've been trying to use my magic as a power as a substitute for the arc. Look what happens as the energy passes through the wire here, I can't seem to tone my magic down enough to stop melting it." Tony sighed and tool a seat on Loki's lap.

"you need a transformer. Something to split your energy to an appropriate voltage. Like my core." Tony leapt from the chair and grabbed his spare arc, adjusting a few wires and bringing it back to Loki with him. His fingers worked quickly as he re-routed the paths of the wires and then clicked his adjusted arc into place. "there!" he stood back, a smug smile on his face, looking pleased with himself. "try that."

A green wisp came from Loki's fingertip and Tony watched it pass along a wire, into the core and around the rest of the suit which then came to life. Tony's grin grew and Loki looked astonished.

"it takes so little magic. I could use this with barely any at all. It would mean I could save my magic, so much... Power." Loki span in his chair to face Tony. "shall we?" he raised an eyebrow. Tony's grin widened.

"Jarvis, ready the suit."

despite all his magic, Loki had never actually flown like this before. Completely free, completely in control. How could he ask Tony to give this up. No, he'd just have to join him. Protect him himself. But that would mean joining the avengers, something he was NOT prepared to do. Maybe if he got Tony to leave, they could do something together. Maybe.

But for now he was flying high, Mixing somersaults with free falls and dives. Corkscrews with flips. He and Tony, completely free. He and Tony...

Tony was confused. Why had Loki just stopped. He was staring directly at him. "Loki. Everything alright."

"Yes. Everything is great."

"Loki... Have you heard of the mile high club?"

If you don't already know what it is, I suggest you google 'mile high club'. although I'm sure this isn't quite what they had in mind.,,
