When Tony wakes up Loki's gone, but there's a note on the pillow next to him. When he opens it 20's fall out and spill onto the electric green bedspread.
The note reads:
Darling,
Couldn't sleep. Doing some shopping. I'll be around sooner or later. There's a party tonight. We've also got a late flight tonight off to the next gig. Someone probably knows when or where, so have a drink on me.
-L
Tony smiles as he looks at Loki's strangely stiff way of writing.
As he gets out of the bed he feels an almost pleasant full body twinge, reminding him of the night before, but nothing like after that first time. He wiggles his naked ass against the bedsheets as hard as he can, just to see.
This turns out to be an incredibly poor decision.
Tony takes a long, decadent shower. Loki and he had cleaned up minimally the night before, but Tony can still smell the other man on him.
He watches the water as it swirls down the drain, loath to let any pieces of Loki disappear.
He finds Loki's shirt from yesterday on the floor and puts it on, after finding his own pants. He decides to forgo shoes entirely. He's just going to the bar after all.
On his way out of the room he looks back at Loki's note, sitting by its lonesome in the center of the bed, and gently picks it up.
Tony gets halfway to the bar before he realizes that he left the money in their room. He shakes his head a little at himself, but with the mood he's in there isn't a single thing on earth that could bring him down.
With a grin on his face that could rival the brightness of a dying star Tony decides that he's going to have a martini for breakfast.
Yay! Christmas update! I hope you all have an awesome christmas!
This also came really really close to being the end of AoF, but it's not. We're at the halfway point now. Shit's about to get fucking intense.
