Loki was an early riser; it was just in his nature to rise when the sun did. So when he woke up, with arms draped around his stomach and a smile on his sleeping companions face, he could do nothing but watch him for three hours in the silence of morning. His eyes eventually left his companion, falling around the room. His bedroom was rather empty, to say he had the bare essentials would be stretching the truth. His bed wasn't particularly a bed; much more of a stripped down sofa with a quilt and a few pillows thrown over and around it, but it was soft and comfortable so Loki wouldn't morning was a little different, from the bedroom there was a developing trail of their eveningwear. He could see the scattered shoes at the front door, the jackets followed by shirts and so on. Loki's thoughts fell to the idea of Tony leaving, if he was to leave soon that is…

He looked back to his friend who was breathing softly, his face resting on his stomach and his left arm hooked under Loki while the other sat beside his face, his finger nails were grazing the skin on his gut. Loki couldn't bare it any longer as Tony's hair tickled his ribs; he reached out and trailed his long fingers through the dark soft hair below him. Tony began to stir, mumbling about the morning before leaning into his touch. The smaller man stretched his limbs, falling onto his back as he did so. He opened an eye at Loki, the familiar auburn fire had returned into his gaze. Tony smiled at the instant he caught sight of the ebony haired student.

"Morning…" Loki purred. Tony murmured back a response, rolling over so he fell on Loki's outstretched arm.

"Geez, why don't you have curtains?" Tony ran a hand over his face, the sun hitting his eyes when he tried to open them. Loki laughed softly; bringing his arm closer to him, pulling Tony's head towards him as well. He kissed the bruised lips softly, enjoying the second before pulling back and smiling.

"I don't think I've ever been so happy…" He trailed off, allowing his head to fall back down to the pillow. Tony shifted himself so he lay on his front, his head and upper body sitting on Loki's pale stomach. Tony reached for Loki's arm that was sprawled behind him, his fingers locking with the taller mans.

"I believe I owe you from our bet…" Loki looked up at Tony, laughing again how the convocation went from serious to nothing in seconds. Without any warning Loki sat up, forcing Tony to kneel on the bed. He kept a hold of Tony's hand, bringing their entwined hands to his mouth and kissing Tony's knuckles softly before running his thumb over the spot.

"…I have everything I could ever have wanted."

Some time later...

"Oh Loki…" Jane was practically crying, her eyes were red and her face was slowly swelling up. She threw herself around his neck, grasping onto him for support as they sat in the empty coffee shop.

"Jane, will you get a hold of yourself please?" Loki took a sip from his black coffee, ignoring the body that was sprawled over his lap.

"But it's you and Stark Lo…You and-"

"I know. I was there remember?" He flipped Jane off him slowly and with great care, and when she landed a soft giggle escaped her lips.

"Anyway, I have some of my own news…" Loki put down the cup, twisting on the tan sofa towards her and balancing his head on his hand. "I thought about what you said, about the stars and the Astronomy stuff." She dragged out her words, using her hands a lot as she spoke.

"Get to the point Jane-"

"I've applied for an Astronomy and psychics University." Loki's eyes widened, his mouth opening to talk but she cut him off by smacking him. "-They accepted me!" She squealed softly. Loki immediately stood, grabbing her by her waist and hugging her. She was so small she hovered above the ground as he continued to hug her. She kissed his cheek as he eventually lowered her to the floor. His spine was bent uncomfortably as she wouldn't unlatch her hands from his neck.

"That's just great!"

"There is one catch though…" She dropped from him, itching her hands nervously and unable to look in his eyes. "The university is in New Mexico." Loki's smile slowly began to fall.

"Oh…well-" Jane pushed herself up, pressing a friendly kiss to his lips.

"I leave in three days…Thanks for giving me the push I needed to do this." She wrapped her arms around his shoulders again, squeezing as strongly as she could and humming under her breath. "We could meet up every few months…" She stood back, holding her arms out in question. "We could do movie marathons and eat junk food. We could go star searching or- we could go to a rodeo!" Her eyes widened and her mouth opened in excitement. He smiled, forcing his way to holding her again. "Um, what are you doing?"

"Just, shush. Let me hug you, I'm going to miss you so much."

"Three days Loki, we have three days to waste on movie marathons and eating junk food and-"

"Rodeo's apparently…" She laughed softly in response.
