Notes: Here it is, the very last chapter of Bedroom Hymns. Its short but suitible for an epilogue I think. I hope you all enjoy it and I hope to see you guys around at Seven Devils.
Three year later….
Loki laughed as he opened his gift, sticking the green bow on Tony's head, watching the man's face scrunch up with mock annoyance before sticking it back onto Loki's forehead, making him laugh harder. They both sat on the floor at Stark Tower, surrounded by friends and even some family. The Christmas party had actually been Loki's idea and everyone had readily agreed to it. So the place had been decked out in red and green decorations and a large tree covered in all sorts of ornaments and strands of white lights glittering in the candle light and firelight. Everyone chatted amongst themselves as they drank whine and snacked on the food available.
The guests had brought presents for each other, they sang Christmas songs and even a threat of a snow ball fight had been issued for Central Park.
Loki smirked as Thor held a very pregnant Jane Foster, who nursed a non-alcoholic Eggnog, close to his tall form protectively. It was hard to see Thor as a father but stranger things had happened. He turned his attention to Tony again, pressing a kiss to his lips, "I spoke with my mother yesterday…"
"Cool. What'd she say?" Tony asked as he sipped his drink, watching Loki's face turn innocent. Never a good thing.
Things had gone well the last few years. Tony had hired Loki into his company, their relationship had gotten even more stable, and Loki's family had come to really like him. He wasn't sure why but he was glad for it. It helped Loki feel more at ease amongst them. All in all things were good for both of them and he could never wish for anything less than this. Loki had felt the same as far as he knew and he moved closer to him, wrapping an arm around him lovingly.
"She asked two questions: When are we getting married and when will she get grandchildren."
Tony sputtered and sat up straight, "What…and what did you tell her?"
"I told her that hopefully it'll be sooner than later but it all depends." Loki hid his laughter by taking a drink of wine. He wished someone would take a picture so that he could have Tony's expression for a lifetime. "Are you well, Tony? You look a little green."
"Nope, I'm good….no panic attack here or anything." Tony guzzled his drink, "And…do you want those things?"
"I would someday but I'm in no hurry." Loki told him honestly, "I just want us to focus on what we have now and not focus too much on the future."
"I'm okay with that. If you want it I'm willing to oblige."
They'd overcame a lot in their pasts and while there would always be more difficulties in their future they would be happy to take them on together.
