Tony watched Loki sleep for about three days before he was forced to return to his tower. Fury spoke to Tony, telling him he'd inform him of any changes in his status. Tony when he got back, was informed by JARVIS about the book. He went to the room, sitting down, he began to read the note.
And by the time he was done with that note, he was crying, tears just kept falling onto the note. He sighed, just putting the note aside. Walking out, he came out to seeing all of the Avengers there. His eyes went wide, Thor was looking pretty down himself.
"Tony, what prompted you to take Loki in?" asked Natasha.
Tony sighed and began to retell pretty much most of it, he left out the note that Loki had left him, and the emotions they had developed for each other, but he did make it clear that he cared for Loki.
At the end of everything he said, everyone was looking at him in wonder. Thor was surprised to say the least.
"He knew he would die. But he's not dead." said Steve.
"But I didn't think he cared about Earth at all." said Natasha.
"Ok I left out a couple of details." said Tony.
Tony sighed and began to tell them about how he'd slept with so many guys after just seeing Loki. That he was infatuated from the start. It was part of his bias as to why he let Loki stay, it was also why he'd lied and said he was seeing him when he really wasn't. He then told them about the note, the note that explained that he didn't care about Earth, and he even let them read the note which was definitely in Loki's handwriting.
"Stark, do you know what this means?" asked Thor.
"What?" asked Tony.
"You have won my brother's trust, love, and affection. And no one has reached Loki on that level until now." spoke Thor.
Tony sighed and thought about it. "Loki is, he's changed. Everyone always basically made his life hell, even if they didn't mean to. It drove him nuts, and then I gave him a chance. Everyone's always turned their back on him, but I hate having backs turned on me, and believe me, I've been through it myself. We're supposed to be the good guys, right? But that's the thing, no one made his life better. Not until he came here with me. At least I hope I did." said Tony.
"I'd say you did Tony." said Natasha.
Tony sighed and sat down, pouring himself a drink. "I tried...They all basically set him up for failure, I mean a lie like that? So he got his revenge at first of course, just like my dad treated me, though his was worse then mine. I mean Thor, you tried, but let's face it you wanted to throw him in prison again. How does that help him? How does that make things better? I gave him a chance, and it turned out my bet was right on the money. He deserved something, a chance to choose for himself." said Tony.
Thor thought about it. "I wish to go discuss this with the All Father." he said before leaving.
Tony looked at everyone else, Bruce walked over and hugged him. He sighed and let Bruce hold him for a while. He looked pretty miserable, and he just sipped more at his drink. The others left, but Bruce stayed by his side. His best friend wouldn't leave him during this time.
"Bruce?" asked Tony.
"Yes Tony?" asked Bruce.
"How do you tell someone like he did with me in that note? He gave me so much...I wanted to...I should have said something. I should have stopped him." said Tony.
"Tony, if we're lucky you'll get to tell him exactly how you feel when he wakes up." said Bruce.
Natasha informed Fury about everything, he didn't seem happy with the news, but he also seemed to understand what was going on. Even so, Tony waited for two more days, Bruce staying at his tower to try and help him through everything. Which was when Thor showed up.
"I have spoken with the All Father." said Thor.
Tony looked up at him. "And?" he asked, looking pretty haggard.
"He said that Loki being in a coma is due to his own mental fragile state, and that if he awakens, he will no long imprison him. He said he will leave Loki's fate in your hands." spoke Thor.
Tony smiled a little but he still was depressed over the whole thing. "He also gave me a potion for you." said Thor handing it to Tony.
Tony looked at the potion. "What is it?" he asked.
"All Father said only Loki would know, that he had asked his greatest sages to make it for you Man of Iron. He would not tell me what it does." said Thor.
Tony sighed and put it next to the note Loki had left him, suddenly he got a call, it was Pepper.
"Tony." she said.
"Yes?" he asked.
"May I come to the tower?" she asked.
"That depends." said Tony.
"I come with some news from Fury." she said.
Tony sighed and let her in, she walked in with some documents, they were completely filled out.
"Tony, I have redone your will for you." she said.
"You did what?" he asked.
She showed him that instead of her name, she wouldn't be CEO anymore, Loki's name was there. Everything had been fixed so that Loki was the one left with him.
"This is my way of apologizing about before." she said.
Tony smirked at her, he nodded. "Well that's if he comes out of this." said Tony.
"Actually about that, his brain is showing a lot more activity, Fury sent me here to get you because we think he might wake up soon." said Pepper.
Tony stood up more quickly then Pepper had seen him stand up in his entire life.
"Pepper...thank you." said Tony.
"Yeah, thank me later. You owe me." she said.
"Get yourself something nice on me." he said with a grin.
"I'm holding you to that." she said following Tony.
She chuckled and they were out the door, soon they were next to Loki as he slept.
"How's he doing?" asked Tony.
"Tony, better question, what happens with the media when he comes out of this?" asked Fury.
Well ok, he hadn't thought about that, if they actually dated, and then...well shit that would be an interesting thing to work through.
"Well he likes attention, I like attention." said Tony.
"Stark." said Fury warningly.
"We're gonna come out as I always come out with someone serious. I'm gonna run the media gauntlet, and it'll be fine." said Tony.
"Will you still be in the Avengers?" asked Fury.
"Well yeah, and if I'm good enough, he might be in too. But I can't make that decision for him." said Tony.
Loki moved a little, and Tony went to his side, grasping his hand, Loki's eyes slowly opened and looked up at Tony.
"T...Tony?" he asked breathlessly.
"Loki, you're alive." said Tony, emotion filling his eyes.
Loki grimaced. "Yes and I feel like..." he started.
Suddenly he sat up, shock filling his features. "How in the world am I alive!?" he exclaimed.
"Well you are a god." said Fury.
"Right and gods can even survive things like that? Especially gods who have been abandoned by the family that gave them protection in the first place?" asked Loki with more sarcasm.
"Well Thor did talk to Odin." said Tony.
Loki went rigid and Tony put a hand on his shoulder. "You're allowed to stay with me." said Tony.
Loki looked at Tony in shock. "Really?" he asked.
"Really." said Tony.
Loki smiled a little, he then sighed. "But what of SHIELD?" he asked.
"We're allowing you to stay with Tony, but we may call on your help for allowing you to stay with Tony." said Fury.
Loki simply nodded and looked at Tony, the others left once they saw how the two were looking at each other. Tony slipped into the bed with Loki and just wrapped his arms around his shoulders, leaning his head on Loki's chest.
"I missed you." he said.
Loki smiled a little and held Tony close to himself. "I love you." he whispered.
"I got your note...and well...I can't put things the way you do, I'm not that eloquent. But Loki, I really have fallen for you. But I can't..hold relationships worth shit. So like, this is all really new to me." said Tony.
Loki sighed and just held Tony close. "It's alright, I hope you know I am usually the one left. I've been with a few, but again nothing ever lasted very long. No one really cared for me, they found me pretty but when it came to anything more, they just simply walked out. Tony, you have put up with me until now, I assume you can continue, that is if you want to. And Tony, I will chop you to pieces if you cheat on me." said Loki.
"Loki damnit, it was never putting up with you, you belong here with me. Just don't...do anything that stupid ever again!" exclaimed Tony.
Loki chuckled and pulled Tony close to himself. "I love you, I mean fuck, it's not easy for me to say it, but I do." said Tony.
Loki smirked and leaned down kissing Tony, the two of them shared a long and hot kiss. Tony wrapping his arms around Loki, their mouths melding together. They both knew the minute they felt those sparks, this was it, they were finally together. No matter what was going on around them, no matter what the future held, they were going to face it together.
