Ok! I really had fun writing this chapter! Hope you all enjoy it!

Killing Loneliness

Chapter 3: Suicide of Love

The two of them made their way out the doors. Tony kept talking at a rapid pace, while Loki just sat and listened. It was here that they ran into Obadiah.

"Obadiah! What a surprise." Tony shook the man's hand.

Obadiah smiled at Tony, "I just got here. Where are you off to? You are not someone who leaves a party early."

Loki was watching the interacting with a calculating expression. Obadiah's body language read differently then it should. Loki, being known for his lies, could see when there was one in front of him. This man did not care for Tony as much as Tony believed.

"My friend here wants a ride-" "I can drive myself." "home. Being a honorable host, I am giving him a lift." Tony smirked when Loki started to talk half way through his explanation.

Loki looked over to Obadiah and held out a hand, "My name is Loki. Nice to meet you." He replied smoothly.

"Loki? As in Norse Mythology?" Obadiah took his hand. "Nice to meet you. I am Obadiah."

Loki raised an eyebrow. "Indeed. My father enjoys reading Norse Mythology and named us after their gods."

Obadiah seemed to be studying Loki, "I think I would hate being named after the god of mischief and lies."

Loki felt his eyes narrow a bit. "I am certainly ok with it."

Tony let out a laugh, "I'll go give my car ticket to the runner. You can stay here and talk." Tony headed off.

Loki and Obadiah stood in silence just watching each other. "How long have you known Tony?" Obadiah asked. "He hasn't really mentioned you to me."

Loki felt a bit of a pang in his heart, but ignored it. "A while now. He has not stopped bugging me since our first meeting. What about yourself?"

"How can you not know? I have been on many covers of magazines, some including his father." Obadiah raised an eyebrow. "I have known him since he was young."

Loki made a noise of recognition.

"He has helped the business grow, since his father passed away." Loki thought it was a bit strange that he would bring up the business end of their relationship but filed it away for later.

"Tony does seem to be very brilliant in that aspect." Loki answered.

Obadiah snorted, "Of course he is. Tony built most of the weapons used on both si-." He cut himself off realizing what he was about to say.

"I am so sorry could you repeat that last part. I must have misheard you." Loki eyed the man.

"I said, weapons used on both military and navy." Obadiah covered his mistake.

A lie. Loki could see right through it. "Of course." He mumbled. Tony made his way back to them at this point.

"The limo is on the way. Come along, Sweet Cheeks." Tony grabbed Loki by the arm and started to drag him away."Bye Obadiah!" Loki never took his eyes off of the 'father-figure' Tony had told him about.

Loki finally turned back to Tony, "If you call me that once more, I will go back to calling you Mr. Stark." Loki half-heartedly glared.

Tony grinned, "Ok, I won't call you sweet cheeks, If you tell me your last name."

Loki groaned. "Once more with this game of yours. I refuse."

"Alright then, sweet cheeks it is." Tony was standing next to the limo that had driven up. The driver opened the door and allowed him to enter.

Tony motioned Loki to enter first, to which he rolled his eyes and got in. Tony following not too far behind. He took a seat and admired the long car.

"Why do you use such an automobile?" Loki questioned as he began to press random buttons. One of them opened up a compartment filled with drinks. "Intriguing." He mumbled before picking up the drink to read what it was.

"Why not? I am rich." Tony shrugged his shoulders. "Now what is your address?" Tony rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

Loki just let out a short chuckle, "I live at 222 A Baker Street. It is not to far from here."

Tony looked over to the front of the car, "You hear that, Happy?"

"Yes sir. Putting it in." Happy responded looking back at them. They were off in a couple of seconds.

"Now, Loki. What are your hobbies?" Tony always seemed to ask Loki.

Loki realizing this turned the question, "You ask me too many questions. I believe it is my turn."

Tony gave him a startled expression but motioned for him to continue.

"What are your hobbies?" Loki put leaned his head against his hand.

Tony thought a moment before saying, "I am in my garage a lot. Making new things. Nothing much else. Well, with the exception of partying." Tony grinned when he said the last part.

Loki smiled. He began to to try and think of a question. Instead he thought of something else. "Mr. Happy?" He questioned the driver. Tony gave him a strange look.

"Yes, Mr. Loki?" The driver called back in surprise.

"I must know, how is it working for such a..." Loki tried to think of the correct word, "egotistical person?"

Happy looked in the review mirror at Loki and gave a laugh, "It is never dull."

"Do you enjoy driving so much?" Loki asked no longer paying attention to Tony.

"It is not so much as the driving as it is doing it for Mr. Stark. He is always interesting." Happy replied honestly.

"It appears that is what everyone believes." Loki mumbled.

"I am feeling so ignored right now." Tony whined at the two. "This is the last time I offer you a ride if you stop paying attention to me."

Loki looked at the man then back to Happy, "He seems childish to me."

Tony crossed his arms. "I am not childish." he complained.

Loki could only giggle at the man's antics.

Happy came up to a building and parked the limo next to it. "We are at your house, Mr. Loki."

"Thank you for the ride, Happy. It was a pleasure to meet you." Loki then turned to Tony. "I thank you for inviting me to your extravagant party, Anthony. I hope to see you again soon." Loki opened the door and exited the limo.

"I'll call you!" Tony yelled out of the car, "And I will stop by your house, now that I know where you live." Loki chuckled and closed the car door. He waved at the limo as it took off back down the then headed towards the apartment he had been staying in.

He kept thinking back to his night with Anthony. It was much more enjoyable than the parties he had attended on Asgard. He had meet many great people as well. Pepper was a lovely woman. Happy was also very enjoyable to speak with, even if he had done it only to annoy Tony. Loki thought about Obadiah. He did not trust that man. He just screamed manipulative to Loki.

Loki shook his head. He didn't need to be thinking about that now. His attention was taken away from him by a small glowing medallion that laid on his bed. He rolled eyes. The device was his one connection to Asgard while on Midgard. He thought about listening to it, but decided to ignore it. He would answer it in the morning. He then closed his eyes as his head dropped onto the pillow. He didn't even change his clothes as he fell asleep.

Loki woke to the smell of something burning. He stood quickly and ran towards the kitchen. Standing there was Tony Stark, attempting to make breakfast.

"Stark. Why and how are you in my home? I locked my door." Loki looked over the burnt piece of...eggs?

"I snagged your keys at the party and made a copy of them." Tony answered as he mourned his food. "You left your scarf in my car." He motioned towards the entry way that held a white and green scarf.

Loki face palmed. "So you illegally took my keys, broke into my home, and burnt my eggs."

Tony seemed to be having an internal debate before nodding. "Seems about right."

"And you didn't even think of waking me?" Loki glared at Tony.

"I can see you are not a morning person." Tony pointed the spatula at the god.

Loki glared at him, "Perhaps I am just unhappy to find a man in my house early in the morning without my permission."

"I have to question you about something." Tony changed the subject. He turned off the stove and headed towards Loki's room. Loki just sighed and followed.

Once in the room, Tony pulled out one of Loki's many magic books. "Why do you have books in a different language? I already had Jarvis scan them. No language known to man." Tony started to study Loki.

"You went into my room, while I was sleeping 5 feet away, and went through my stuff?" Loki crossed his arms.

"If someone wasn't so secretive I wouldn't have to snoop." Tony started to flip through the pages of the book.

"Stop that." Loki snapped and took the book. "Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me."

Tony gave Loki a questioning look, "And why would you say that?"

Tony then started to dig into his pockets. "What is this?" He pulled out the medallion that was still blinking.

Loki glowered in frustration. "Stop going through my things. I shouldn't have told you where I live."

"Just figuring that out now?" Tony grinned at the man. Loki couldn't help it but grin back. The whole situation they were in was just weird.

Tony saw Loki's expression and laughed, "See! You are having fun with this to."

"It is a bit enjoyable." Loki mumbled trying to cover up his humor.

"Now. You have to tell me. What will I not believe?" Tony asked.

Loki thought he should lie, but he also wanted to gauge Tony's reaction. "I am the god of mischief, Loki Odinson. I was born and raised in Asgard." He kept his face as blank as possible.

Tony blinked at that response. "What?"
