Later that day, Loki was in his room, reading a Shakespeare novel when there was a loud knock on the door.

"Come in."

Thor came in. "Brother, I must speak with you."

It caught Loki's attention. "On what exactly, Thor?"

"About your relationship with Stark, that is. I have seen that the two of you are really close."

"Is that a problem?"

"No, it is not a problem with me Loki. It is just that I am worried about you, that is all."

Loki laughed in response. There is no need for worry. I know what I am doing, Thor. Besides, we are nothing but friends at this point anyway. So, you have no reason to be concerned."

"You're sure, brother?"

"Yes Thor, I am very sure on what I am saying."

"Good, because if Man of Iron hurts you in any way, he will regret it."

Loki laughed out loud. He knew that Thor was protective of him but sometimes Thor took it too far as if he enjoyed being the older brother sometimes.

"Please Thor, don't scare Tony away."

Thor look as at Loki with confusion.

"Why?"

"Because I know that he likes me, or which I think he does."

Thor was surprised by this.

"I was kind of aware of that but still, if Anthony hurts you, he has me to answer to."

Then, a timid knock interrupted their conversation.

"Come in," Loki said for the second time. Natasha came in with a slight smirk framing her face.

"Hey, Thor. Loki, can you come with me? I have something to show you."

Loki smiled since he quite actually likes surprises, but wasn't expecting that the red-haired spy to give him one.

"Can I get a hint on what it is?"

"You'll see in a couple of moments," Natasha replied. She was smiling wide because she knew that Clint was the one behind it all.

"Well, Loki, good luck," Thor said. He wanted Loki to be happy, and if Tony provided that, then he would accept it. He was thinking about how to bring it up to their parents, especially Odin.

"What are you thinking about, Thor?" Loki asks when he sees Thor when he grew quiet, who was trailing behind him.

"It's nothing, really Loki. Go ahead and see what your surprise is. Don't want to keep Lady Natasha waiting."

Loki, a little hesitant because he was wary of the idea, smiled at Thor. "Okay, I'll tell you about it later."

Thor nodded and left. He made up his mind and decided to go to Asgard to seek his mother out.

Loki turns around to face Natasha. Both already arrived at the kitchen to see a nice and fresh made dinner sitting at the table, which was covered with a nice, white lace tablecloth. There were two chairs on each side, and there was some fancy wine present. Loki assumed it was from Tony's alcohol.

"So, what is this, Natasha?"

"For you and Tony, of course," Natasha responded coolly. She quickly and quietly sent a signal, located in her jeans pocket, to get Clint.

Loki blushed because he wasn't expecting anything. "W-what do y-you mean it's for me and Tony?"

"What I said, Loki. You two fancy each other, right?"

Loki blushed a tomato red, which gave Natasha an answer she wanted to confirm.

"I'll take your blush as a yes. Okay then, I'll have Tony come over along with Clint."


"Tony, I will be needing your presence upstairs, please," Clint said. He kept trying to get Tony to leave his workshop for about 20 minutes but keeps failing.

"Can't you see I am busy, bird brain?" Tony sighed for the million time. He was already behind on some projects and he couldn't keep putting them off any longer.

"C'mon Tony. You can continue working on them later when you are done. Loki is already waiting for you at the table with some food already prepared for the two of you," Clint whined.

This made Tony stop in his tracks. "Loki is waiting for me? And food?"

"Yes, Tony. He is already sitting down right now, waiting for you to make an appearance, Tony. Besides, I had Natasha help me with this. You can't back out on this."

Smiling, Tony said, "Okay then. I'll accept this invitation. I am glad you did this because in no way I could pull this off by myself."

Clint's eyebrows rose up in surprise. "Really Tony?"

"Yes, you heard me right. Show me where this event is taking place." Both men went towards the elevator.


"So, Tony would be arriving at any moment now Loki," Natasha said, interrupted Loki's train of thoughts.

"He is?"

Moments later, the man in question finally arrived at their required destination. Tony looks at the scene before him.

"L-Loki? Good to see you," Tony says, slightly blushing.

Loki nods. "So am I, Stark."

Behind Tony, Clint smirks at Natasha, who was giving him a similar smirk of her own.

"You like the surprise?" Clint asks.

"Okay, I'll be leaving the two of you alone," Natasha said and left. Clint stayed behind for a couple of seconds longer, admiring their work, and quickly left Tony and Loki alone.

Blushing, Loki started their conversation, "Uh, Anthony, this was the surprise for myself also. Natasha and Clint made this."

"I know, Clint told me on our way here."

"So, what do you think?"

"Actually, I like it," Tony admits.

Loki smiles. "So, should we get started?" And Tony nods in response.


In Asgard, Thor was seen talking to his mother, Frigga in the palace gardens. "Son, I am glad you decided to come to visit. How's Loki?"

Thor smiled. "He is doing very good, mother. He is what the mMidgardianscall a date."

Frigga smiles when she hears this. "Loki likes somebody? Tell me, Thor. Who is it?"

"Mother, it is one of the Avengers, Anthony Stark, known as Iron Man. He is a very extremely intelligent man," Thor replies. He actually likes Tony for Loki. He secretly hopes that the two of them get married someday.

"Really, Thor? He sounds like somebody Loki would go for a partner. I hope to meet him," Frigga happily says.

"I could bring him if you want, mother."

Frigga smiles. "Can you do that, Thor?"

Thor nods in response. "Yes, mother. Don't worry about it."

"Tell Anthony he has my blessing to court my son."

"I will, mother."
