A lot of things happens in this chapter, hope you like it :P

Chapter 11.

It had been two month together now and Christmas was coming up. Clint had moved out and Tony only saw him at meetings with the avengers and every time he just ignored him. The other's tried to make him talk to him but he refused. If he didn't apologies to Loki; then he had no place in Tony's life. This had caused a disturbance in the group that showed when they were out fighting Dr. Doom or someone else. It happened that Clint had gotten in the way of one of the Iron Man's repolser but got away with light burn damage. Tony didn't say he was sorry, matter of fact he was smiling behind his closed helmet. No one said anything actually but everyone knew that this couldn't continue, it could be the death of someone in the end.

Loki had to quit his job because his modeling career took off like a rocket after his first fashion show. Damn that man could walk sexy. He had also moved in to Tony's penthouse. After a month they both thought that it was stupid to have that apartment just being there, empty. Tony had asked him over dinner at a nice restaurant and he was so happy to feel that their relationships were progressing. Tony had followed him sometimes on trips to other countries where he had photo shoots and fashion shows. Loki Odinson was now a pretty famous name in the fashion world and he loved it. But now he was pretty much panicking; he had no idea what to give Tony for Christmas present. He had asked Natasha who was now a pretty close friend to him in a weird way. They just had some stuff in common and they could read each other like opened books. But she had no idea and then told him to call Pepper. He wanted to smack himself, of course call Pepper.

"Stark industries, this is Pepper Pots." She sounded stressed and that made him wonder if this was the wrong idea.

"Hi it's Loki."

"Oh hi Loki, I saw your picture on the billboard on Time Square. You looked amazing." She said with a lot more happy voice witch made him calm down.

"Thank you makes me happy to hear that people enjoys it." Loki said and smiled.

"Oh believe me; a lot of people enjoys it if you know what I mean." She said and laughed.

"Just don't tell Tony that, he might get jealous." Loki said and had now a slight shade of pink on his cheeks.

"I won't. What can I help you with?" Pepper then said and Loki realized that she probably was busy so he should do this quick.

"I'm having a hard time figuring out what to give Tony for Christmas." Loki said with a low voice. He had been together with the man for two month now and he still didn't know what his boyfriend would like for a present. Well except for himself wrapped in a bow. Maybe he could do that after the Christmas dinner.

"Well buying him something isn't really suggested since he can buy it himself and probably have. No in this department you need to plan something to do rather than buying. Even though I imagine he loves having sex with you it won't be enough." She said and laughed a bit. It was funny how easy it was talking to Pepper. He had called her a couple of times before when he and Tony had a small argument and she always managed to get them together again. Their arguments were mostly small and really stupid. One time they had started to argue over that Tony had put a lot of picture of Loki all over the living room from different kinds of photo shoots. Loki didn't want to have his face all over the room and Tony didn't see the problem in it to show off how good he looked and Loki had gotten frustrated with that Tony didn't listen to him so he had stormed in to their room and locked the door behind him. Pepper had then called ten minutes later and asked what happened because Tony sounded angry. He told her that she would call back witch she did and said that Tony would like to compromise. Even though he was angry over the fact that he wasn't listening but he got out there anyway after a few minutes. They sat down and Loki said that he could have one picture in the living room and of course he had chosen the biggest one over the fire place, the black and white one were Loki had a unbutton shirt, white jeans and a hat. But Loki had to agree to get all the other pictures away from the living room. And then there was the make-up sex afterwards on the couch. Sometimes they had argues just to have make-up sex. They always sent flowers to Pepper as a thank you.

"Thanks Pepper. I will think about." He said and pulled up a screen on the living room table and goggled some stuff to do with Tony.

"If you need any help you know who to call." She said with glee. They said good bye and hanged up. He smiled when their front screen popped up and it was picture of Loki and Tony embracing him from behind and the view behind him was a good over lock of Paris and the Eifel tower. It had been at their one month anniversary and he had taken him to Paris fashion week. That had also been a couple of day with sour bodies because of their nightly activities.

But back to the planning; they couldn't travel away because Tony wanted to have like small Christmas party with the avengers and Pepper. But maybe he could plan a trip that they could start the day after Christmas and maybe celebrate New Year's Eve somewhere else. Yeah that would do. But where should they go? They had already been to Paris, Rome, London and Hong Kong. All were of course mostly business trips for both Tony and Loki but they always made time to enjoy the city as well. Then something in the corner of all the vacation picture caught his eye; a cruise. It wasn't the cruise per say that made ideas fly around in his head. He knew that neither of them would be happy by being trapped on a big boat with a lot of other people. What Tony actually didn't have was a yacht. So he started to look around on the internet for fancy yachts for sale and found one that was perfect for them. Modern and luxurious; expensive. Half of the payment has to go from Tony's account but hey it was the thought that was important. SO he called Pepper again and told her about his idea and she loved it. She would make sure that Tony wouldn't see the big amount of money that was pulled from his account to Loki's. He probably wouldn't check anyway. And then he bought it right there on the couch in their living room. He even made sure that it would say Stark on the side of the boat. A relief filled his body and he lay down on the couch and felt sleep overtook him.

He woke up by soft lips pressing gently on his forehead. He opened his eyes slowly and was met by warm chocolate brown eyes. "Your home." He whispered and smiled. Tony had to travel away for two days so Loki had been left alone in the penthouse and he hated it. But there was always Natasha who would come and keep him company when she wasn't on a mission. And sometimes even Bruce and Steve would come over.

Tony had seated himself down on the couch and they shared a soft but passionate kiss. "I've missed you." Tony said and stroked his cheek. He looked at his watch and sighed. "Shall we go to bed?" He asked and stroked a hand over Loki's chest. Loki nodded and they walked to their bedroom. They thought they were tired but before they went to sleep they had to show how much they loved each other.

Loki was walking down the street towards a photo shoot when he heard an explosion behind him. He turned around and saw doom bots coming down the street. Everyone was in panic running around to get shelter. He then saw a little girl on the street alone and screaming for her mom. He didn't know why but he ran to her and picked her up. He looked around and saw a frantic woman screaming for somebody and he just guessed that it must be the man. With his long legs he was standing in front of the woman and gave her the child. She thanked him and ran inside a store. When he turned around he saw the avengers working on the bots. He was trying to get himself to safety when a bot stopped him and he was in hand to hand fight with the robot. He wasn't incapable of fighting, he was actually pretty good and he did put up a fight for him. But then the robot managed to grab a hold of his arm and yanked him to the ground. He then felt pain in his abdomen and it spread through his body. He looked down and saw that the robot had pierced him through his stomach with a thin metal stick. He looked up at the robot and its head was pierced with an arrow and it exploded. Suddenly his vision was filled with the face he feared in this state. Clint was saying something but he couldn't hear it, feeling himself slip in to darkness. Then the pain shoot through his body again and he screamed.

"Loki, you must stay awake. Come on Loki." He could suddenly hear Clint and when he managed to look down again he saw his hands was holding a fabric against his stomach. "I need medical a.s.a.p. Loki is hurt… Loki talk to me, you can't fall asleep… you hear me." Clint roared over the explosions around them.

"I… I… Why?" Clint looked at him with fear in his eyes. Loki closed his eyes again.

"Loki, come on man you can't die… think of Tony." Clint said and managed to shake Loki a bit so his eyes opened again. Then there were a lot of other people around him that pushed Clint away and started to help Loki.

"Tell… tell Tony I love him." Loki's voice was strained by the pain. Clint looked like he was on the edge of crying to Loki's surprise.

"No man, you are going to live to tell him yourself." He said and a tear fell down his cheek.

He was lifted on to a carrier and then pulled in to an ambulance.

"I want Clint." He managed to say. He saw a man signalizing to Clint to follow and then he was also in the ambulance and holding his hand. Even if it was Agent Barton; at least it was somebody.

When Loki woke up again after blacking out when they arrived at the hospital he felt a small pain on his abdomen but nothing serious. The he felt a small pain in his arm and so he looked down and saw a needle sticking in their like last time. When he looked further down he saw a hand holding him and brown hair lying on the side of his bed. He started to stroke the hand with his thumb feeling the familiar skin of his lover. Tony started to move a little and then sat up and looking at Loki with wide eyes. "Are you feeling okay, does it hurt somewhere?" He asked standing up from the chair and looked in to the man's eyes.

Loki opened his mouth. "I… it hurts… in… my stomach." His voice was raspy and strained from the dry throat.

Tony nodded and pushed a button on the wall. "You scared me again." Tony said with a sad smile.

Loki nodded. "Sorry." He managed to say before the door opened and a nurse came in and did some checks.

"It seems to be fine; sadly we can't give you any more anesthesia's so you will have to live with pain for a while." She said and came over with some water; she helped him drink a bit and then put it on the table next to the bed and walked out.

Tony took his hand again and kissed it. "Where is agent Barton?" Loki asked looking at his lover caressing his hand.

"All of them are outside." Tony said with a smile. "Do you want to talk to him?" Tony then asked with hope.

When Tony had come in to the hospital he had met Clint who told him what had happened. Tony had brooked down from all the worry and the adrenalin, so Clint had held him while he cried in to his shoulder. So you could say that they were good.

Loki nodded and so Tony walked to the door. "Clint." He said and walked back to Loki's side. Clint walked in with a posture that wasn't very agent like. He looked uncomfortable and nervous. But then he chuckled and looked at Loki. "I told you that you would be able to tell him yourself." He said with that smile that only Clint could pull off.

Loki chuckled but stopped abruptly by the pain it caused in the stomach. "Thank you." He mastered to say through his pain that was going away slightly.

"Don't mention it. I sort of needed to make amends with what I did to you." He said and scratched the back his head.

Loki nodded. "What did you want to tell me?" Tony asked confused.

Loki smiled and looked up at Tony. "That I love you." He said with a smile on his lips. A tear from Tony fell down his cheek and he leaned down and planted a soft kiss on his dry lips and then stroked his blond hair.

"Well I shall leave you alone then." Clint said and walked towards the door.

"Agent Barton." Loki called out to him making him stop.

"Please call me Clint." He said with a smile.

"Clint, would you like to come to our Christmas dinner?" Loki asked with a smile.

Clint's smile grew wider. "That will be neat." He said and walked out.

Tony sat down on the chair, still keeping a hold on Loki's hand. "You want to go to Malibu when you are released, like last time." Tony said with a smirk.

It would be nice to have Tony all to himself again like last time. And he would have to put of work for a while, at least the fashion shows. He looked at Tony and smiled. "Sounds great."

Loki was at the hospital for three days. Tony coming over every day and stayed until they kicked him out. Thor visited also every day but not as long as Tony, thankfully. Natasha came over with Clint ones and they had a lovely chat witch surprised Loki a bit. Steve and Bruce also came over ones and Bruce looked at Loki's wound, mostly because he had a trust issue with doctors. Pepper had phone call with them where she was pretty pissed to hear that Loki had tried to fight a bot but then she calmed down and said that she would have the Malibu mansion ready for them.

Loki was packing his things when Tony walked down the hall to the reception. "Do you have the release papers for Loki Odinson?" He asked the lady who were sitting there going through some papers. She nodded and walked in to another room to get them.

"Tony Stark?" Tony turned around and saw that bastard Patrick standing there with his arm in plaster. "Who would have thought that you would be here? Is Loki okay?" He asked with a worried voice.

"Ehm yeah, he got hurt last time the doom bots was in town." Tony answered him.

Patrick nodded. "Must be hard; having a boyfriend that can't defend himself." He said signed his papers. "But I guess his fine because he has Iron Man to protect him." He said and walked away. Tony just shrugged his shoulder; he got the papers and walked back to his boyfriend's room.

"I hope we don't need to sign these anymore." Tony muttered when he got in to the room.

Loki just rolled his eyes and signed the papers. "I don't know what you mean by that but I hope your attitude changes on the plane." Loki said to him with a stern voice.

"Are you going to tell me to change my attitude now? Maybe you should start learning that you are not a god anymore and therefore gets hurt a lot easier." Tony growled back making Loki turn towards him with narrowed eyes.

"What is up with you?" Loki hissed.

"I'm angry because I need to worry about you all the time." He yelled out and stretching out his arm dramatically.

This was different; something told Loki that this wasn't just to get make-up sex. And what the he mean with worry about. "You don't need to worry about me your fool." Loki yelled back.

"Apparently I do; you been in this hospital two times in two months, if we keep this up we can just book this room." He said sarcastically.

Loki just stared at him with crazy angry eyes. "So what, like you aren't in the danger zone as well with that metal can of yours." Loki hissed out.

"So now you can't handle me being Iron Man." Tony yelled.

"What I never said that." Loki was so confused and angry right now.

"Oh but you did. And you need Iron Man cause I'm the only one who can protect you." Tony growled.

"I don't need you and even if I did you're not doing a very good job because you were at the scene both times when I ended up here." Loki grabbed his bag. "You know what; I'm going back to the tower and you can go to Malibu to cool off." Loki said and headed for the door.

He was stopped by a firm grip around his wrist, almost to the point that it could leave a bruise. "No, we are going to talk about this now." Tony growled.

"Release me your idiot." Loki growled back but Tony didn't let go. "You know what; fine… if you can't trust me then maybe we shouldn't be together." Loki said with a stern voice.

Tony was so surprised by what he just said that he let Loki go. "Good bye Tony." Loki said and walked away.
