Sorry everyone! This is so late! DX Also this is a shorter chapter then normal! I really wanted to put it up after like three days of *types two sentences closes out of.*

But it's late and I am really tired.

Especially those who checked out my Quiet fanfiction and my More Than Just Taking Over The World fic! You guys are the reason I write! *thumbs up*:D WELL!

I won't keep you any longer!

The puppies ended up sleeping the whole day which happily left the two to their own activities for the day. The tower was in a sleepy silent stupor by the time the sun set.

But if you put 10 puppies in a room and have them sleep all day, just a warning, they will cry.

All.

Night.

By the third time that Tony was woken up, he sent Loki annoyed to quiet them by shoving him out of bed and grumbling something like, "They're all yours."

Shocked out of sleep, Loki agreed silently, got up and got dressed before sliding down the hall to quiet them.

He came back an hour later and slumped back down against Tony's chest and they fell back asleep. For about 20 minutes. Tony stirred and Loki just groaned. After a few minutes of hopeful silence that the dogs would settle down, Loki just sighed and got up and went back down to the room. A few minutes later, Tony started to fall asleep. He let himself fall asleep when Loki didn't come back.

The morning came rather slowly it seemed. When Tony woke up he found the pillows on Loki's side exactly how they were when he left, he wasn't there now either. With a small sigh Tony got up and slid on some dark gray sweat pants and wandered down the hall.

He almost ran by the room that the puppies were staying in. Everything was quiet though. Hm.

Tony found Loki curled up in his normal armchair that sat in the corner, a tea cup in his hands, a book floating in front of him and a dark red blanket over his shoulders. He looked completely worn out, cold and rather sick. But he beamed at Tony when he came out. He looked immensely happy.

"Good morning. Did you sleep alright after I left?" Oh geez he sounded happy too. Tony just smirked lightly and came over to sit on the foot rest by the chair.

"I did actually. What about you?" Loki laughed lightly.

"I didn't sleep. But their quiet again! I let them play and had Jarvis order dog food to be delivered from the pet store. It got here when the store opened and I fed them. Their asleep again."

Tony blinked and smiled lightly at the enthusiastic details, "Tired them out again then?" To his mild surprise Loki shook his head.

"Actually no, I remembered that in Harry Potter the three headed dog was quieted by music. So I put on some quiet music for them and they all were fast asleep within 15 minutes. It's still playing now." Tony laughed lightly.

"J.K. Rowling strikes again!" He said victoriously and leaned in to kiss his cheek before standing up and moving to go and make some coffee. By the time he had gotten back, mug of black coffee and a bagel in his hands, Loki was fast asleep.

The mug of tea was half full, still steaming and held firmly in both his hands, the book has fallen when his magick concentration broke and was lying on his knee and the blanket was half off of his shoulders. Smirking, Tony put down his breakfast and walked over to put the book on the table by the chair and take the cup of tea away. He pulled the blanket more over him and kissed his forehead in a rather tender way before smirking at him. Tony turned and went down to take the time to work on his new suit repairs.

When Tony came back to the main living area it was mid afternoon. Wiping sweat off of his forehead he was glad for the rather freezing blast of air as he walked in to the floor. Summer for a frost giant wasn't the easiest thing ever, so Tony made sure Jarvis would keep the temperature down to 45 constantly, if that meant that Tony had to wear sweatshirts everywhere then well, he liked sweatshirts anyways.

He got rushed by two excited fur balls and waded through them to the kitchen where he heard Loki moving around.

Puppies were everywhere. There were three on the couch, five fallowing him, one on Loki's chair and another one dancing around Loki's feet while he fixed himself a cold drink.

Tony shooed the puppies away and after a few tries, they grew tired of dodging his hands and feet and started to wrestle with each other. With a sigh Tony leaned against the counter by Loki.

"So how are you?" Loki smirked lightly as he asked not looking up from the blender. Another smoothie… Geez this guy can go through so much yogurt and ice cream. He had one of each at least twice a day. Can't really blame him though, but you would think he would get tired of it.

"I have 10 dogs in my house." He said bad temperedly but let himself soften a bit as Loki leaned over to kiss his cheek and brush out of the kitchen with his glass of frozen fruit yogurt. As they walked in excited barking rose up from the puppies as they gathered around to beg for some food. They were brushed off easily enough.

They spent the afternoon playing fetch. Tony and Loki were standing in the middle of the room and both tossing balls down the hallway to watch and giggle as the herd of golden fur would yip and thud down the hall to retrieve them.

Everything slowly settled down as the puppies wore out again.

Tony and Loki ended up curled up together on the couch lazily half watching the first Harry Potter in honor of the save that J.K. Rowling gave them that morning.

There were two dogs on the very top of the couch lying on their sides with their paws dangling off the couch. There was one at the end of the couch by Tony's feet and 3 at the foot of the couch. Two were hogging Loki's chair from the others and the other two were scattered around the rug. All the puppies were silent and either asleep or close to falling asleep.

Loki leaned up and kissed Tony lightly before settling down again eyes half closed. He ended up falling asleep by the time the movie was over. Tony woke him gently when the credits rolled and the both of them carried the puppies in to their room and locked the door as usual.

Two showers and a snack later, Tony and Loki were laying in bed. Tony was stretched out with Loki curled up next to him, head on his chest and hand over the reactor carefully.

"Today was fun…." Loki's half asleep voice roused Tony enough to look down at him.

"Oh that's what it was?" Tony asked moving to shake him off of his chest lightly to turn on his side and pull Loki closer to tickle his neck with his scruff. Loki sleepily yelped and pulled away letting Tony curl up to him as he laid on his side.

"Yes it was."

"Hm… If you say so babe."

This is how almost every day went. Loki would have to get up every night to quiet the puppies and Tony would retreat to his workshop after either making Loki go take an "official" nap in bed or tucking a blanket around him. By the afternoon everyone would be fully awake and they would play some sort of game or Tony would come upstairs to find all the dogs completely mesmerized by Loki excitedly telling them a story or something. Then they would eat dinner and curl up in the living room.

Tony wasn't too fond of schedules or doing the same thing every day, but he could easily get used to this.

Then came Sunday, the day before they were supposed to turn in the puppies.

Tony expected some sort of trick to go on, a form of mind control, a pout or a few pleas to keep the dogs. But nothing came. Everything went exactly how it had the week before.

Loki helped carry the dogs back to their room and make sure they were settled then he left for a shower as normal. Instead of going to fix some popcorn or get a bag of chips, Tony ended up sitting in the room with the dogs, thinking.

He almost wished Loki would try to persuade him to keep the dogs, maybe he would actually say yes.

When the dogs came they started talking more and cuddling more. More like an actual "I love you" kind of cuddle instead of a sleepy after sex cuddle. They hung around each other more and when Tony came back from working in his lab, Loki didn't have a sad air around him or pouting lonely eyes.

The puppies had brought kinda like closeness back in to the tower, they had taken away sleep in return though….

Tony caught himself considering whether or not to keep the puppies. Or at least one puppy….

He knew Loki was especially loving to that one big puppy with the big round idiot looking blue eyes. Tony suspected that it reminded him of Thor because the dog really did act like him. Big and clumsy and yet noble and caring, always trying to be the best. Maybe he could surprise him with him when they had to return them.

…it was a possibility…

Loki peered in to the room wrapped up in his favorite dark navy robe, he frowned in concern to ask if something was alright. Tony just smiled and shook his head standing up to quietly exit the room and gave him a kiss. They went to bed shortly after that.

All the puppies slept through the full night without crying once.
