Chapter 3. Dinner
In Tony's mind Friday could not have come fast enough, the week had gone to the dogs. Everyone was running around like rats. Then Jane popped in all of a sudden, at least his electronics were safe for another day. Steve was in and out all the time and Banner was knee deep in research. He was fortunate that the doctor could make it to dinner at all because of his research. He would need all the support he could get when he broke the news to Thor. They were doing to a Thai place, supposed to be the best, but Tony always tested the waters before he trusted a review. Loki appeared behind him.
Brick, Tony nearly pissed his pants "Really," he turned around looking at his lover, standing before him in his Asgardian drag.
"I prefer, an interesting entrance" Loki looked so calm and it was turning Tony on, sex with Loki did not exist when he was carrying his child. "Tony,"
The billionaire buried his head in his hands "Noo, no, we're not having this conversation again." Loki looked as if he were going to say something "You're going to this dinner and that's final."
Loki frowned "Tony," the brown haired man turned around, laying his head in his arms "I would prefer to tell my brother myself."
"They're safety in numbers." he lifted his head up
"There will be no amount of people that will protect you from my brother's warth!" he growled
Tony sighed, he hit a nerve, the playboy turned around and stood up, walking closer to his lover "Hey," he brushed his hand across his cheek, "It'll be alright," Loki felt so warm and returned the hug.
Despite being reassured by his boyfriend Loki did not feel confident that the playboy would survive a head on head with his brother. It had been some weeks since Loki had caused any trouble, mostly sending that time with Stark. Getting pregnant again was defiantly not in his plans. The raven haired god teleported into the thunder god's room. He wasn't there, of course he should have known his brother was out with Jane. Thank goodness for her arrival, Thor would not show his dark side in front of her. Loki sighed, taking a seat on the large king sized bed.
Thor and Jane had been having an amazing week together. Since her arrival on Tuesday, Thor had been waiting hand and foot on her. Much to everyone's delight, everything was a quieter. Said for a few times, when he was on the roof shouting at the sky like a manic. Thor had cut his activities short today to get ready for the dinner. He and Jane had found some really nice formal wear for the god and he was eager to put them on. The thunder god walked into his room and to his surprise found his brother setting right on his bed. "Brother!" Thor dropped his bags and rushed over to the younger god and gave him a hug, Thor gave new meaning to the word bear hug. "Th-Thor, you're squeezing me brother-Thor!" Loki let out at breath of relief "Sorry brother but I'm in the most wonderful mood!"
"That's good brother," the younger god trailed off, taking his seat back on the bed and petting a spot next to him "Have a seat brother."
If Thor had been paying more attention he might have noticed how nervous the green eyed god looked. Thor nodded.
"I have news for you." He gently grabbed the blonde's hands taking them and holding them like he would never let go. He had Thor's full attention now "Now you must listen to me. Very carefully." He paused to make sure his words were sinking in "And you must promise me, promise me that you will not be angry."
"Of course." he rubbed his thumbs over his younger brother's soft skin
Loki nodded "Ok, um, how should I say this." this would be the one time his silver tongue would fail him "Thor I'm pregnant."
The look on Thor's face was a mix of happiness, shock, then confusion. The older god opened and closed his month many times. Loki felt like he was going to melt under his gaze. "I have not seen you in months brother and you deliver me this news, but do not give me the honor of meeting your suitor?" He looked hurt, Loki could tell "Technically brother you do know my suitor, he is someone dear to you, he is one of your friends."
Thor's next expression could be described from anywhere between shocked and confused, but he spoke before he could develop his thoughts "That is wonderful news! Please, tell me which one of my brethren have you chosen to court?"
There was a Thunderous rawr radiating through the tower, glasses fell from counters, tables rocked, and chairs shook moving out of place. Agents on the floors near the epicenter braced the wall for support. Thor crashed through Tony's lab, hammer in hand and Loki fruitlessly pulling at his other arm. Brick. Tony was glad he had nothing to drink all day. The playboy whipped around just in time to dodge Thor's hammer, which smashed right through his work desk. "Brother!" Loki shouted but Thor heard none of it through his rage. "Tony Stark I will have words with you!" a storm was building
Tony backed to the wall, hands up defense fully "Words, sure we can talk just calm down-" the brunette was hoisted up by his t-shirt "Silence!" for a second there he thought he heard thunder "I will tell you once mortal, may you be my friend, you break one piece of my brother's heart and not a shred or piece of your Midgardian technology will protect you from my wrath!" Tony whimpered "Have I made myself clear!" Tony nodded fiercely, "I cannot hear you" Thor's grip tightened "Yes!" Tony choked out, trying hard to get oxygen into his lungs. Thor dropped the playboy, the sky cleared up immediately and his smile returned "Good. Tony my friend, you have my blessing." He picked the smaller man up and patted him roughly on his back "Loki, Mother and Father will be most pleased." He placed a soft kiss the paler god's forehead "You have chosen a worthy partner." and left the room.
Loki stood in shock for a few moment before the gears in his brain started moving. "Tony!" he rushed to his lover, checking to make sure there was no real damage. He stared at Loki and Loki stared back at him "Well that went well." Loki fell into Tony's arms, both of them laughing and embracing each other.
Dinner wasn't as bad as Tony predicted, as it turns out Loki and Tony were not the only expecting parents. Jane and Thor had one on the way and so did Clint and Natasha. The night started off good mild fighting over why Loki was there, followed by Tony's big news, then Thor's, then Clint's. The team didn't know if they were more shocked by Tony and Loki dating or the fact that they were expecting. Either way the night ended well and that was all that matter in Tony's book.
Yes yes, lots of Tony/Loki/Thor action in this chapter, decided to keep the dinner scene short needed to get a bit more relationship building in. Stay tuned the countdown begins next!
