Date time :D


Chapter 5

Tony walked into what used to be his office, but was now Pepper Potts. The first thing he got when he walked in, was an annoyed look and then she ended the call she was on when the genius walked in. "It better be important. I was arguing with a general about not giving them new weapons." Pepper said with a stern voice as she moved some papers around.

Tony sat down on a chair in front of the huge desk. "Actually, it is quiet important and I want you to be the first to know about it before it hits the tabloids." Tony said and looked at the stag of paper with his name on it.

"Do I really want to know?" She asked annoyingly and signed a paper.

"I'm coming out of the closet." Tony said plainly and took one of the papers that Pepper wanted him to sign and signed it.

"You what?" Pepper said with wide eyes. "You're gay? Actually that would explain a lot." She then said and looked out at nothing, thinking about moments that could pinpoint that her friend was gay.

"I wouldn't say gay, more bi." Tony said and took another paper to sign.

"But you have done it with a man? If you were drunk, I suggest you do it sober before you go making conclusions." She said with a frown.

"Well, long story short. I had a date with a man yesterday and we sort of agreed to keep on dating. I'm thinking of taking him to the aquarium." Tony said with a small smile.

"Wait, you are dating?" Pepper said and her eyes wide again with confusion. "I thought you would just keep sleeping around, but with men." She said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"I'm tired of being a playboy, Pep. And there is something about this man that makes me want only him." Tony said and his thought went to the kiss they shared on the couch.

"Who is this man?" Pepper asked and moved the stag of papers closer to Tony.

Tony chuckled when he realized that if it weren't for Pepper, he wouldn't have start talking to Loki. "It's actually the guy you made me talk to at the party last weekend." He said with a smirk.

Pepper couldn't help but make an annoyed sound. "God, Tony. I said make 'friends', not 'date him'." She said sarcastically. "But I'm happy for you. He is a very handsome man." She smiled warmly at him. "And a date to the aquarium would be very sweet." She said and winked at him.

Tony chuckled and continued to sign the papers. "Can you get me information on Loki's dad?" The genius suddenly asked his friend, causing her to frown at him.

"Why do you want that?" She asked him, but started to look around for Loki Odinson's father.

Tony shrugged his shoulders. "Apparently, he isn't happy with Loki being gay. I want to know who I'm dealing with here." The genius told her with a serious look.

"I'll see what I can find." She said with a knowing smile.

"You're the best, Pep. I'll take the rest of the papers home and work on them there." Tony said and took the stag of papers.

"I know I am and you will probably forget about them as soon as you get home." Pepper told him with a raised eyebrow.

Tony chuckled and walked around the desk and gave his friend a peck on the cheek before leaving her to do her work.


Loki sat on the couch watching TV when Natasha came home with a big smile on her face. "Guess what." She said and walked over to him with a piece of paper in her hand.

Loki took it from her and read it. A smile appeared as he read the whole thing. "Congratulations, I didn't even know that you applied to the same school as Clint." Loki said and hugged Natasha.

"Well, I took your advice and decided to do what I want with my life." She said and sat down beside him.

"We should celebrate our independents." Loki jests and reads the letter again.

"Let's order take out." She said and grabbed for the phone.

"Actually, I'm waiting for Tony." Loki said and a small blush appeared on his face.

"Oh, what are you going to do?" She asked him a bit sad.

"He is taking me out on a date." Loki said and felt bad for leaving Natasha. It has always been just the two of them and no one else, but they knew it wouldn't last for long. "Have you called Clint?" He asked, trying to make her do something else.

"No, not yet. I wanted to tell you first." She said with a small smile. "But since you are leaving with your date, I'm going to call Clint and make him go out and celebrate with me." She said and got up to go into her room to make the call.

Loki watched her walk away with a smile. He loved how understanding she was and that she didn't get angry when he told her about going out in public with Tony. She said that this day would come sooner or later and that she would be by his side when the devil himself would find out. He was drawn out of his thought by his phone that vibrated.

I'm outside.

-Tony

A small smile appeared on Loki's lips as he walked over to the window and looked down. A very expensive Audi stood outside and Tony got out and leaned on the car, waiting for him. Loki smiled at the casual clothing the genius was wearing, a band t-shirt, jeans and his leather jacket. "Natasha, I'm leaving now." Loki called out and grabbed his coat from the coat-hanger.

"Is he here?" She asked him and walked over to the same window Loki had been looking out. "Fancy." She said and nodded. "You sure can pick them." Natasha turned and watched Loki look at himself in the mirror, fixing his hair.

Loki smiled at her and grabbed his keys and phone. "I don't know when I will be back." He said and walked over to the door. "Say 'hi' to Clint from me." He said before closing the door behind him.

When Loki walked out of the building they lived in, he had a small, shy smile on his face. "Hi." Tony said and cupped the writer's cheek and leaned in for a soft kiss.

"Hi." Loki answered when they parted and felt a warm feeling running through his body. "Where are we going?" He asked when Tony opened the passenger door for him.

"It's a surprise." Tony said before closing the door and walking over to the driver's side and got in. "But you will love it." He said with smirk and drove off.

Loki gave out a small laugh when Tony parked the car near the entrance of New York's aquarium. "So you're going for cliché dates." He stated with a wicked smile at the genius, who smiled back and got out of the car.

Tony met him on the other side of the car and took his hand in his. "I thought you would like to go on cliché dates in the beginning. I promise to make them more unique later." He said and dragged him to the entrance. Tony paid for the entrance and they walked inside, meeting a huge tank of different kinds of fish swimming around.

"The sea life is amazing." Loki said and walked closer to the glass. A big stingray lay on the sand floor, moving closer to the glass. "It's huge." Loki exclaimed and looked like a little child while watching a sea angel slid across the sand.

Tony walked up to him and looked at the stingray that was probably 35 cm wide. A big fish, almost a meter long, suddenly swam in front of them, causing Loki to back away a step. Tony chuckled and placed a hand on the lower back of the man's back. Loki blushed from the embarrassing reaction and looked away to another tank. "Come, let's see the sharks." Tony said and leaded the man over to another tank, his hand still on the other man's spine. They watched the sharks for a while and then moved on to watch the sea lions. They sat down on a bench and watched them swim around, playing and searching for food. "How come you decided to become a writer from the start?" Tony asked and looked at Loki, who had a small smile from watching the animals move so gracefully.

"When I wasn't forced to spend time with my stepbrother and his friends, I spend my time reading various books. In college, when I met Natasha, I started to complain about the romance novels, saying that they all were the same. She had couldn't take my complaining anymore one day and told me to write my own and so I did." Loki told him and looked at him with a warm smile.

Tony felt himself melt by that genuine smile that he didn't even noticed himself leaning forward and captured Loki's lips in a soft kiss. Loki's hand moved up to dig his finger in to thick, brown hair and continued the kissing. But they were sadly interrupted by a flash that came a few feet away from them and when they pulled apart to see who took a picture, they saw a man running away with a big camera in his hand. "I guess I'm out now." The genius said with a smirk. Loki looked down at his lap with a worried look on his face. "Hey, don't worry. I won't let anyone hurt you." Tony said and cupped Loki's cheek and moved his head so he would look at him. "Your stepfather has no say in this." The genius whispered and leaned in and gave Loki another soft kiss. When they pulled apart they saw something black move in front of them. When they looked at the tank they saw a sea lion watching them, floating in the water. "Well, look at that." Tony said and laughed at the curious look the seal had.

"It's cute." Loki said. He stood up and carefully moved closer to the glass, standing just a foot away from the seal. The seal came closer, clearly wanting food from Loki, but after a few minutes the sea lion got bored and swam away. "That was amazing." Loki said and turned back to the genius, who still sat on the bench.

"Yeah, it was." Tony said and stood up. "Let's pat some rays over there." The genius motioned for the small tank that was open at the top, small rays swimming around and letting people touch their wings. Tony took Loki's hand and led him over to the tank and watched the rays for a bit.

"Is it safe?" Loki asked a bit uncertain, watching another couple pat one that swam by.

Tony took Loki's hand and moved it over the water. A small, yellow ray with blue dots on it swam close to the glass, flapping one wing over the surface, causing water to splash around it. It passed the two men and Tony moved Loki's hand over the flapping wing. Loki could feel the wet skin of the fish, feeling like wet rubber. The ray continued around the tank, leaving a happily baffled man who looked up at his date with sparkling eyes. Tony gave him a huge smile and gave Loki a small kiss on the cheek. Loki walked over to the small sink and cleaned his hand as was instructed by the tank after petting a ray. When he was done, they walked over to a small café and the billionaire bought them some ice cream, a cup with chocolate ice cream for Loki and a cornet with strawberry ice cream for himself and they sat down at a table by a big aquarium with a lots of small fish.

"So, have you told anyone that you are dating me?" Loki asked and scooped some ice cream to eat with the small plastic spoon.

"I told my best friend yesterday." Tony said and licked his cornet. "Felt that she should be ready for what was coming in the tabloids." He said with a smirk.

Loki nodded and took another scoop from the ice cream. "What will your parents say?" He asked, but immediately regretted it when he saw the billionaire tense up.

"It doesn't matter because they're dead." Tony told him and looked at the small fish.

"I'm sorry." Loki said and looked down at his ice cream.

"Don't be. They probably wouldn't have liked it, not my dad at least." Tony said and licked his ice cream again.

"Can I ask what happened?" Loki asked carefully and took another scoop of ice cream.

"They died in a car crash when I was 16." He told him and shrugged his shoulder, telling himself that now was not the time to get depressed, so he licked his ice cream again and heard a giggle from Loki. "What?" He asked curiously.

"It's just… you have ice cream on your upper lip." Loki told him and showed on his own lip that it was in the corner.

Tony gave him a cocky smirk. "Well, maybe you want to help me get it off." He said and leaned forward. Loki rolled his eyes, but leaned forward as well and kissed the genius, making sure to lick off the ice cream. When they pulled away Loki had a wicked smirk on his face. "What is it?" Suddenly, Loki grabbed the small spoon he had, scooped up a little of his own ice cream and smeared it over Tony's mouth. "That's very mature." The genius said with a small hint of sarcasm and chuckled.

"No, but now I have to help you clean it off." Loki said and stood up from his chair. He walked around the table and leaned forward to kiss the genius again. Loki made a surprised sound when Tony grabbed him and pulled him down on his lap and deepened the kiss, chocolate ice cream smeared between their lips and they worked to make it all go away, enjoying their chocolate flavored make out session.

They pulled away for breath and Loki reached for a napkin to clean the rest of the ice cream of their mouths. "You are an amazing kisser." Tony said while letting his date clean his mouth.

Loki chuckled and nodded. "I had a lot of practice while sneaking around." He said and started to clean his own mouth. He looked around and noticed all the families, who were trying to enjoy ice cream the normal way, but the parents looked at them with annoyance. "Maybe not the right place." He said and chuckled.

Tony had been too caught up in studying Loki's face in the light of the aquarium that he first didn't know what his date was talking about. When he looked around and saw the children gaping and the furious parents, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Loki got up from his lap, making Tony pout and grabbed his coat that was over his chair. "Shall we continue?" He asked and reached out his hand for the billionaire.

"Yeah, sure." Tony said and took Loki's hand and grabbed his jacket before leaving the café. They looked around some more at the fish before deciding that it was getting late and the aquarium was closing, so they walked out to the parking lot. "You want to do something else or shall I drive you home?" Tony asked when they walked to the car hand in hand.

Loki sighed. "I better go home and try to work on the book. I also have a signing session tomorrow, so I better get some sleep." The man said with a sad smile. Truthfully, he wanted to stay with Tony for few hours more, but at the same time he knew that you are supposed to leave when you want each other the most.

"Then I'm driving you home." Tony said and opened the passenger door of his car. Loki got in and watched the genius round the car as he puts on his seatbelt. "I hope they got a good picture of us." Tony said when he started the car and drove out of the parking spot.

"They probably did with that big camera." Loki said with a smirk watching the streetlights pass by.

The rest of the drive was in comfortable silence. When Tony stopped in front of Loki's building, he turned off the car and turned to Loki who had removed his seatbelt. "Well, what do you think of that date?" He asked pretty confidently.

Loki smiled and leaned over to his side and kissed him softly. "It was perfect, thank you." He whispered when they parted.

"I'll call you." Tony said and gave his date another soft kiss before letting him get out of the car. He started the car and drove off feeling really successful.
