"Are you sure that your ribs are better?" Loki asked, eyes narrowed at his lover, having arrived to find Tony making a late dinner after a hot shower. Tony chuckled and patted the lightly spotted bruises along his ribs.

"Yes. The magic and the specialized Extremis that I've been carrying around for the last few years have helped a lot," he promised, pressing a kiss to his lover's cheek. Loki sighed and pulled him close, deepening the kiss with a purr. Tony melted into the kiss, wrapping his arms around the God's neck, and enjoying the feeling of the other man. Since the final battle against Thanos, they had been busy with the Accords Panel meetings, starting to rebuild using the combination of donations that had been gathered over the years that they knew about Thanos coming and the money the government had put aside.

Alongside all of that, Tony had been making sure his people were covered and well during the repairs going on and doing rescue missions with the Iron Legion for those that hadn't been able to get out in time. Loki had been checking on his people and acting as a healer, keeping feelers out for any strays of Asgard, and helping Thor to do his media appearances.

Tony was intent on enjoying his time with his lover, nearly wrapping himself around the god as he was picked up and carried into their bedroom. Several hours later, the sun was rising, and the lure of hot coffee and fresh food drew the lovers out of their room, finding Ichigo standing in the kitchen with a man. The man had long, softly shaded blond hair that had been pulled back into a ponytail, purple eyes and was very pretty in a masculine way, chuckling at something Ichigo had said.

"Ichigo, a surprise to see ya so early," Tony hummed, checking his watch.

Ichigo smiled at his friend and boss, shaking his head. "We have to be at the Accords Panel for the final press conference in about six hours. It is now five in the morning and we need to be there at eleven. The press conference is set to last about two hours and starts at noon on the dot," he said. "I figured that we would be able to talk and make sure that we all know the talking points. Thor-san, Bruce-san, and Valkyrie-san have all sent me confirmation that they know what is going down and that they will be there on time."

"He is very efficient I have learned," the blond man said, smirking. "I am Rojuro Otoribashi, Former taicho of the Third Division, twice over even, and current connection between the Soul King and the Living World." Rose tilted his head. "Please, call me Rose."

"Nice to meet ya. I think I've seen you in passing a few times, but your roles were worked on mostly by Ichigo if I remember correctly," Tony said, nodding his head.

Rose chuckled and reached out to tweak a bit of Ichigo's hair as the young male flipped small pancakes with an expert hand. "Indeed. You are Anthony Stark, known by most as Tony, correct? And…" He eyed Loki. "You are Loki. It is a pleasure to finally meet you all. Hel has been most talkative about you as she works through the paperwork that needs to be done. Some of the souls that are waiting will be sent back by the way."

"Oh?" Loki asked, blinking and raising an eyebrow.

"That only happens when there's too much of an influx and a few of the souls are there way too soon. Because of Thanos' actions, everyone has to go through the souls and figure out who is not supposed to be there," Ichigo explained. Loki nodded. "I figured I'd make those little pancake sandwiches I know that Tony-san likes so much," he continued. Rose hummed and opened the oven, pulling out two pans with thinish sausage patties out of the oven, placing them onto cooling racks. "I want food before I steal a shower and change."

"Are you coming with us, Rose?" Tony asked, already moving to grab plates, cups, and everything else that he could think of them needing.

"Yes, I am. Shinji is making a report to the Seireitei about everything and getting any extra information that I should know so I will most likely be on my phone off and on during the press conference. The council already knows this and approved it," Rose replied as he pulled out two more pans full of scrambled eggs, setting them to cool and finish cooking from the residual heat. "Can you make tea like a Japanese man or just like an English one?" he asked teasingly.

Tony smirked and pointed at Ichigo. "The first month he was here, I gave him plain tea from England and the look of insult on his face made me fear for my dick. I learned fast that there were only a few teas from England that he likes, and that he mostly likes oolongs and green teas, so I learned how to make a proper Japanese tea. Grab the large tin from the cabinet by the fridge. Not so surprising, I learned how to create climate-controlled cabinets for things like teas, and coffees back in my college years," he admitted, finding two large teapots, their cozies, and his electric kettle.

Loki rolled his eyes and took over the tea making. "Go set the table, and remember to leave room for the electronics," he instructed. Tony stuck his tongue out but set out to do what his lover had instructed him to do.

"Now if you listened half as well as Tony-san there, Rose," Ichigo drawled. Rose smirked and raised an eyebrow, drawing a blush from the red head as he finished making the pancakes. "Cut the eggs with the medium cutter please," he huffed, turning to one cabinet to pull out the serving platters. Between the four of them, they had the table set and the food laid out, sitting down with their tablets to read over while eating. Ichigo ran the group through the press conference talking points while they ate, Tony throwing in questions to get more information before he and Loki washed dishes.

Ichigo disappeared into the master bedroom to use the shower, the guest shower being worked on after a line got damaged from a quake activated by Avalanche. He took over the kitchen table to do his makeup for the day, wearing a simple skirt suit that he had picked up after his first bonus along with a pair of heels that Tony had given him for Christmas.

After the press conference had finished off, they headed to one of their favorite holes in the wall that had reopened and met with Shinji, the two men sitting on either side of Ichigo. Tony and Loki sat across from them as they waited for the buffet to finish opening. "I think that went well," Ichigo said, phone out and fingers tapping on it while he made appointments to check on the New York buildings under the Stark Industries banner.

Tony chuckled. "Shocked everyone shitless when Rogers even admitted that he was going to therapy and classes to learn all that he has missed over the many years," he drawled. "Good to see him owning up to his mistakes."

"Indeed," Loki hummed, eyeing the way the salad part of the bar was filled a bit more than normal and the woman who hosted waved at them with a nod. "It's open. Let us eat and then we can go to our meeting with M'Baku and T'Challa."

"Right," Tony drawled, Shinji stealing Ichigo's phone and sending out a 'going to lunch' message before turning it off. Ichigo just rolled his eyes, accepted the kiss from the other man and joined his boss at the buffet, figuring out what he wanted to eat that day. Loki smirked at the two men and headed for the salad, hoping that they had mandarin oranges.
