Tony froze. Loki waited, tears streaming down his face.
"Anthony?" He whispered. The inventor turned, and slammed his fist into the door.
"Son Of A Bitch!" he screamed, clutching his hand. Loki jumped off ht bed. "Sorry, Loks, I just, I..."
"No, it's alright. I Knew you would get upset." Loki smiled sadly, and gently took Tony's shattered hand. "Here, let me." Pale green light surrounded Tony's hand. The inventor gasped. "Hold still!" The god soothed. Tony froze again, in slight shock.
"Wow, okay, never seen anything like this before." Tony muttered. Loki let go of his hand.
"There, it's healed." Loki sighed. Tony hugged Loki tightly.
"I wish I could have stopped him, Loks, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone to sleep, maybe then-"
"Anthony. Thanos...always gets what he wants. It wouldn't have mattered. I'm just glad he didn't kill you." Loki whispered.
"Still..."
"Anthony?"
"Yeah?"
"Kiss me." Tony smirked, and gently pressed his lips to his god's. Loki pulled away.
"Let's get some sleep." The inventor muttered. Loki nodded, and climbed onto the bed. "Loki?"
"Yes, Tony?"
"I love you."
A month passed. There was no sign of Thanos. It was as if he had never been to Asgard. Nothing new had happened at all.
Odin, Loki, and the Avengers were in the dining hall, discussing the next move.
"He isn't going to show!" Clint said. Odin listened quietly.
"That doesn't mean we have to abandon Asgard completely!" Steve argued. Clint rolled his eyes.
"Friends-"
"Look, we go home, one or two of us can stay here, and watch out for him." Natasha suggested.
"Steve and I could stay here." Tony volunteered.
"I think not, Man of Iron-"
"What if-"
"We should just stay here." Steve crossed his arms. Natasha and Clint rolled their eyes in unison.
"Look, fury needs the two of us on earth to. It's not that I don't like Asgard, it's just, I'm also a spy on earth. I'm needed there." Natasha promised. Odin nodded.
"Anthony, really-"
"We have to figure out something, Loks, and us staying here is probably-"
"Silence!" Thor shouted. Everyone stared shocked at the thunderer. "Steven, I'm afraid the other's are correct. You cannot stay forever on Asgard, neither can I. For the time being, Steven and I will stay on Asgard. The rest of you are free to return to Midgard." The Avengers nodded in agreement.
"And what of I, brother?" Loki asked. Silence fell.
"What ever do you mean?" Thor shifted, suddenly on the spot.
"Loki is still considered a prisoner of Asgard for the things he did on Midgard. Has he proven himself worth of freedom, Thor?" Odin asked. Loki hung his head.
"Wait, Thor says the word, and you lock my Loks up again? Why? He's changed!" Tony yelled. He was standing, mostly out of fear of losing someone who he cared so much for.
"Anthony-"
"No! This isn't fair!"
"Man Of Iron, I agree with you. Loki has indeed changed, father." Thor interrupted. Tony blinked.
"Huh?" Loki and Tony chimed.
"Loki, since you have been with Anthony, you've been so much happier! I've never seen you so full of love and happiness! You have changed." He explained. Loki blushed lightly.
"Then Loki you may return to Midgard with the Avengers." Odin stood. "I will send Steven to fetch you when Thanos arrives." Everyone else dispersed to pack their things. Tony looked at Loki, smiling softly.
"You know I love you."
"I love you too. Anthony...I need to tell you something."
"Okay, what's up, Loks?" The god took a deep breathe. He hesitated.
"I...I'm pregnant."
