Here I come with good tidings. Well as good as I get anyways. Happy New Year and to celebrate this event, you get two chapters, and then hopefully one tomorrow if I can will myself to edit. You'd think that with short chapters I just would, but not so. There should be another couple of chapters after this, but it should be done by the end of the week. I told you that the story wasn't very long. Also DJ* I'll see what I can do about the smut. Generally I'm terrible at it so I don't do it much, but a new year is coming so maybe I should try writing it once more.

Thanks so much for the people that did read, review, fav, alert...ect (is there anything else you can do?) I really appercaite it and hope that with these new chapters you continue to do just that...Please. Did i ask nicely enough?

Happy New everyone whether it's already come and gone, or your still just waiting for it to happen.

The Breakup Breakdown

Chapter Two

Present and a few months later

Loki's king size bed made him feel even smaller as he curled himself up into a little ball. The bed was cold now; it was always cold without Thor's presence. Loki hadn't even realized just how cold his life had been before Thor, and now after Thor, Loki couldn't seem to warm up no matter what he did.

All the pictures of him and Thor in that he had in frames laid face down on top of Loki's dresser, which was too big for just one person. He didn't want to look at them, but he didn't want to get rid of them either, which left him only one option and that was just to ignore them.

The shrill ring of the phone sounded and Loki groaned. He didn't want to get out of bed. He wanted to wallow in his self pity, but the phone persisted on ringing.

He grumbled as he threw off the covers and slung his legs over the side of the bed, stamping angrily towards the phone.

"What!?" He snarled sharply into the phone.

"What? Not even a hello?"

Loki recognized the voice immediately. It was Tony Stark, the resident, playboy, genius, billionaire, philanthropist.

"Thor and I broke up remember? You have no reason to call me anymore." Loki growled into the phone and he heard Stark scoff.

"Just because I was Thor's friend first doesn't mean I can't be your friend now. Plus you're like the only guy I know that appreciates my dry wit, heck sometimes the only one who even understands it."

Loki rolled his eyes. He had met Tony Stark a couple months after he and Thor had started dating. It had been quite a shock to Loki, when Thor revealed he knew the man behind Stark Industries. Loki wasn't sure he was exactly a friend of Stark, but they did have a mutual understanding of one another.

"Look, as nice as it is to know that I haven't completely lost everything, I need you to know that I just need sometime. I'm just not ready to deal with all these things that keep reminding me of Thor." Loki sighed, all the hostility he had moments before, suddenly slipped away.

"I was just going to invite you to a party, its okay; Thor has already told me he couldn't make it. His parents are in town and he was going to show them the city."

Loki felt a lump lodge deep within his throat as Tony told him the news. "His parents are in town?" Loki stammered and he heard Stark let out an annoyed huff.

"Yes, his father and I are going over some business plans again and he is showing them more of the city that they apparently haven't seen, though I really doubt it because his father lived here long before he ever did." Tony paused, and Loki could have shown he hear the man roll his eyes. "Okay, so here is the deal. You can't say no. You're going to come to the party and you're going to meet someone and you're going to have a good time." Stark continued and Loki couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Maybe I just don't want to go Tony."

"Apparently, I need to reiterate I wasn't giving you a choice. My town car will pick you up at eight and wear a suit." Stark said and before Loki could continue to protest, Tony hung up the phone, leaving Loki listening to dead air.

Loki sighed loudly as he pressed the phone back down into its cradle. Apparently, he was going out tonight, and apparently he needed a suit. His moping and self-pitying would have to come later.

Past

Loki sat across from Thor at the small round table that resided in Loki's small kitchen. Thor had a bright smile on his face, but Loki's face held a stoic expression. Thor reached over and took Loki's slender hand in his and stroked the top gently with his thumb.

"I don't think…" Loki began, but Thor quickly jumped in and interrupted him.

"I think it is a really good idea for you to meet my parents. I mean, I have already told them all about you. In fact my mother is quiet excited to meet you. I mean, we have been together for like a year and half Loki, do you not think it is about time we meet each other's parents?" Thor said sounding cheerful.

"Yeah, but I've already told you that my mother is dead, and my father, well he hasn't been in the picture for a very long time. I'm just worried that maybe…" Loki paused, trying desperately to come up with the right words, "It's just that your father is very strict. I doubt I come close to any of the expectations your father had for you when it came to significant others." Loki muttered

"I know and I understand that, but I am really close with my family so I was hoping some of your magic would rub off on them like it did with me. And you know that that is not true at all. You're smart. You have a good job. Plus, you make me happy. Trust me when I say that you don't need to be anymore then exactly who you are." Thor said attempting to sound reassuring, even though, Loki really didn't feel all that reassured.

Loki squeezed Thor's hand and gave him a weak smile in return, "If this means so much to you I'll do it. I'd be honored to meet your parents." Loki said and a wide smile spread across Thor's face as he leaned over and kissed Loki on the cheek.

"You don't know how happy this makes me." Thor said cheerfully.

"I can really only imagine." Loki said as he pulled his hand out Thor's grip, while standing up from the table. For a moment Thor looked hurt at Loki's lackluster response, but quickly changed it when he saw a red hue color Loki's cheeks.

"Are you blushing?" Thor teased as he got from his seat and circled around the table, stopping to stand in front of Loki, who was avoiding eye contact with him at all cost.

"No! Why would you think that? Of course, I'm not! Why the hell would I blush over a simple comment like that?"

"Because …you like to see me happy." Thor continued to tease and Loki scoffed and shook his head.

"You wish." He mumbled and Thor laughter boomed as he scooped Loki up in his arm, and smashed their lips together in a forceful kiss. Loki moaned into opening his mouth slightly, and Thor took his opportunity to slide his own tongue into Loki's mouth.

Before Loki knew it his back was slammed against the table, forcefully enough that the table shuddered under his added weight. Loki let out a gasp as he felt Thor's hands creeping over the hem of his shirt as his rough skin skimmed the sensitive skin at Loki's waist band.

Loki's back arched at the touch as Thor's lips trailed kisses down Loki's neck.

"How about we save this for later." Thor whispered in a husky voice.

"That sounds like a promise I'll hold you to." Loki panted as he tried to catch his breath and to steady his erratically beating heart.
