They had been lying together for a while, having woke up but not wanting to get up, before Tony heard Loki laugh quietly.
"What is it?"
"For the first time, in an exceptionally long time, I'm actually genuinely happy. I just find it so strange a concept." Tony kissed Loki on the forehead before taking his hand and smiling softly,
"Yeah, well let's keep it that way." Loki looked up into Tony's eyes and raised a thin eyes brow, as if in disbelief,
"What, strange?" Tony shoved Loki's shoulder, a smile lighting up his features.
"Oh, shut up." Both men's laughter filled the room at Tony's attempted retaliation though it was not long before the laughter had died and the Loki's face had become more serious.
"Listen, I know it's not over. Thor is still out there and is more than likely figuring out a plan that will let him have his way and I want you to promise me something."
"And what would that be?"
"Please don't let anyone take me away from you again." Tony pulled Loki towards him, wrapping both arms around him tightly, not bearing to hear the need for protection in his voice. Tony knew he was a strong man when he had to be but he also knew that everyone needed reassurance at some point, even him. Tony pressed his lips softly against Loki's,
"Of course I promise. Why would I ever let someone, be it a god, a human or anything, take you away. You have no idea how important you are to me.
I Love you."
Well all done! I was considering making this a trilogy of sorts, any thoughts? I hope you enjoyed it :)
