yes okay this one is short i know and im sorry. im tired :P ill have a longer update for you soon, but really ive been quite good so far :D the usual disclaimers apply

They found Loki screaming bloody murder in his room, sweat pouring from his face, cloak tangled around him as he tossed and turned. Tony thought Thor would've undressed Loki to allow him more comfort, but when he thought about it, Loki had been living with them for weeks and he was yet to see him in anything besides his armour. But he couldnt sleep like that could he? Tony made a mental note to ask Pepper to pick up some pyjamas and casual wear for the guy. Preferably something tight.

Because, you know...Loki seemed like the guy to like tight clothes. Tony could totally see that.

Turning his attentions back to their patient, Tony's heartstrings were pulled taut as he listened to what Loki was actually yelling about.

"I couldv'e done it father! I only ever wanted to be as good as Thor, but I was never good enough for you! Please, let me be good enough!"

Thor looked as though he had been struck, Clint was actually CRYING for god's sake. Tony just felt hollow. He knew what it felt like to not be good enough. God he needed a scotch right now.

"I'm sorry Thor! I'm sorry. I'm sorry brother!"

Bruce entered the room at that moment, carrying a syringe of what Tony vould only assume was the strongest sedative he could find in the medical wing. They'd have to move Loki there if he kept this up, he thought.

"Thor, hold his arm down, and I mean keep it really still for me okay?" Bruce was taking charge now, oddly looking right in his element. "Steve, Tony, hold down his torso, clint on his legs, and Natasha, GENTLY, keep his head down. If he thrashes too much, he'll rip the drip i'm about to put in, out. Ready everyone?"

They were hard pushed to hold Loki down because jeez was that guy stronger than he looked. Must be a god thing. They held him until he began to quieten, although he was still whimpering apologies to Thor, who at this point, was very openly crying at seeing his brother under such duress.

"Oh Loki, I forgave you long ago, brother. Now I wish only for you to be well again."

The Avengers, excluding Thor, Tony and of course, Loki, left the room, probably feeling that they should give Thor a moment with his sleeping brother. Tony would have left with them but he found himself unable to move. He was struck by the beauty of Loki in such a relaxed state. Even knowing that the calm was induced, and seeing the mussed hair and slight sheen of sweat on the trickster God's face that came with excessive fever, Tony felt unable to tear his gaze from the pale perfection that was Loki.

And then Loki's skin began to change. Like ink spilling onto paper, his white skin changed to blue, and ridges formed on his face. Tony gasped, and Thor turned to him.

"What is it, man of iron? Do you find my brother unsightly? This is his natural form, his Jotun form. If it repulses you so I suggest you cease looking at him."

Okay, so Thor was getting defensive and he should probably be scared, but Tony found himself unable to do more than Shake his head slowly from side to side.

"He's stunning...beautiful. I.." The words caught in his throat, and Tony turned and fled the room.

err yeah sorry so short i know :'( review please :D
