Loki:
[A Dilemma]
The God of Mischief was overly excited not because he was about to create chaos or start a war or destroy a town, he was excited over brightly coloured ponies. Loki and Tony were standing in line at the local McDonald's where they were giving away brightly coloured pony toys that Loki was Hel bent on collecting. He had convinced Tony it was a good idea to get out and go obtain said ponies.
When Loki finally obtained his happy meal he shoved the box in Tony's arm as soon as he was done rummaging around for his pony.
"Yes, I have finally obtained the mare with the dark purple hair. Most enjoyable!"
Loki was too absorbed in his toy to notice a sudden large gathering of people outside the fast food establishment.
Tony:
Tony had never understood Loki's obsession with ponies, never understood why Loki watched those cartoons, why he kept talking about them, or why the hell he needed toys of them, and he really never wanted to. But because he honestly could never say no to his lover, Tony was talked into taking Loki to McDonald's after Loki had seen the ad on television that they were giving the stupid ponies in their happy meals.
Fucking headache, really.
Tony groaned as the box was shoved into his arms, he had already been carrying the food that they ordered (Loki insisted on happy meals for them both) and some of the other customers were giving them the weird-eye because, well, Loki. Although with the smile on Loki's face as he opened his new toy, Tony felt like the world could screw itself. As long as Loki was happy, Tony was pretty much willing to put up with anything the world threw at him.
even though I still don't understand what is up with the horses
They took their seat by the window, and Tony was shaking his head while he watched his lover play with the stupid pony; still not getting it.
Loki:
Loki continued to examine his pony, content and eating some french fries. As said fries slowly vanished from their table cameras started to flash and Loki sat bolt up right confused. He tried to look past the flashing lights and noticed they were cameras. He turned to Tony with a frown.
"Tony, why are they taking so many pictures? I am confused still about your "mass media". Why do they find it fascinating to take pictures of people when they want to be left alone?"
The trickster looked away from the cameras, his fun spoiled by the flashing lights and muffled badgering on the other side of the window.
Tony:
Too distracted by his American cheeseburger, Tony did not at all noticed the flashing cameras until Loki at pointed it out. He turned to look, squinting when the flash burst and dazzled his vision. He turned back to Loki, a frown on his face too.
"…we should probably head back. They probably are just trying to get new scoops after that whole Avengers hoo-haa that somehow got leaked into the media. Personally, I blame Clint." Tony had said in one shot, then took a sip of his coke.
He gestured for Loki to finish up his food, promising he'd get buy McDonald's home instead the next time he came home from work.
Loki:
Loki frowned, quickly pocketing his pony and eating the rest of his fries. He kept his cheeseburger in the box and carried it out as he followed Tony. As they opened the door a flurry of lights hit them and they were bombarded with question after question, demand after demand.
"Mr. Stark! Over here!"
"Is that Loki? HEY!"
"Mr. Stark, any comments on the recent rumors spreading about you leaving the Avengers?"
"Mr. Stark we have photos of you and your worst enemy Loki exiting your private jet a couple days ago, care to explain?"
"Mr. Stark!"
There was a large frown on Loki's face. He felt like it was his fault this all happened. Tony didn't need to leave the Avengers if Loki was only stronger. He pulled his right hand up to move away a few strands of hairs when the clicking of cameras got louder and the flashing of lights turn into one big constant stream of blinding white.
"Is that an engagement ring?"
"Mr. Stark! Please! We would like a comment!"
"Loki! Are you and Mr. Stark getting married?"
"What do the rest of the Avengers have to say about this?"
"Why are you marrying your and the Avengers most hated enemy?"
Loki pulled the high collar of his coat up and looked away. He whispered he wanted to go home but with all the noise no one could really hear him. He felt over whelmed by this annoying and chaotic attention. He'd rather have people fear him not…harass him like this.
Tony:
Being the owner of Stark Industries, Tony was extremely used to the media crowded. It was usual to him, but he could see that Loki was feeling uncomfortable since he wasn't used to this. He felt bad, wanting to apologize to him but it was difficult to properly talk through the shouting of questions from the crowd. Tony had shook his head to most questions, saying he had no comments and if they wanted to have questions answered, they'd have to wait until the next press conference.
At that point of time, Tony and Loki had no physical contact or whatsoever, and the way the most of the paparazzi were practically shoving their way forward to them, Tony was getting very agitated. When Loki had moved his hand to sweep away his stray hair, the flashes of camera went on constantly and there was a new bombarding of questions. The moment Loki raised his collar and looked away, Tony instinctively pulled Loki close to him around the waist just to make Loki feel even slightly better.
Because of that, the cameras had went off even more, and it finally got to Tony because he was extremely upset that they were upsetting Loki, so he shouted:
"Yes, I am getting married to Loki. If you have any problem with that, bring it to the next press conference. Now, if you'd excuse us. My fiance and I would like to go home."
Loki:
Tony…
Loki held onto Tony and buried his face into his chest. He was upset, yes, but he was even more upset by how they kept annoying Tony with questions. Loki pushed back from Tony and smiled.
"So, you want to play with the God of Mischef, then SO BE IT!"
The trickster's hand glowed green and a wave of magic shot out in an arch hitting every camera man, photographer and interviewer. Their cameras, video recorders, voice recorders, everything was changed into a glob of squirrels. Loki chuckled before taking Tony by the waist and bringing him close, channeling his uncomfortable state into a show of force. He kissed Tony deeply, tangling their fingers together then vanishing in a flash of light.
"That will show them…"
Tony and Loki had reappeared in the living room where Pepper was watching the television broadcast about what just happened. She turned abruptly in her place then got up quickly to round the couch as Loki let go of Tony and took his happy meal to finish. Pepper walked past Loki, nodding curtly, then glaring at Tony.
"Mr. Stark, as head of Stark Industries I would like to remind you not to do anything over the top." She spoke calmly but the storm was coming.
"Might I remind you, what I told you a couple weeks ago? Do you remember what I SAID when I told you about doing this? What am I going to tell the media? The Board? I am all ready getting angry phone calls from Thor and S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony, why did you have to announce it like that? You could have done a formal announcement or, or something less…" Pepper flailed her arms angrily to substitute whatever she was going to say but forgot.
Tony:
Tony had expected (wanted) that- Loki to get annoyed at the media for bothering them and do something about it with magic. He laughed along with Loki, kissing back with a wink for the crowd to see, pulling Loki closer in before their disappeared back to the mansion. He had expected Pepper to be there, ready to fume at him, and he was right.
"Peeeep," he started, slinging his arm around her shoulder to try and charm her in not being upset at him. "Don't get all upset now. It's not good for you. Shhh, calm down. Deep breaths, Pep. That's my girl." He beamed at her, taking his arm off her and clapping his hands together.
"Now. All you have to do is arrange me a press conference and I can just make it official. Simple as that!"
Loki:
"It is NOT as simple as that Tony!"
Loki was watching from the other side of the couch eating his cheeseburger, pony perched on his shoulder. Pepper continued to lecture Tony about life choices and how he was going to have to reap what he had sown and some other things Loki got bored of listening to.
"And may I remind you who has to go into work tomorrow? I DO TONY. And I have to go deal with S.H.I.E.L.D! You need to call them back and now you have to deal with Thor."
Loki's interest was piqued.
"He has been calling non-stop now ever since this happened. How do I know? My phone keeps vibrating! Deal with him Tony!"
"I may be able to do that, Ms. Potts." Loki got up from his place and took her phone to talk with his brother.
"Hello Brother dearest. Yes, I am well. No, I am not being forced against my will. Darling brother you knew this was to happen eventually, yes? No, I will not let you hurt Tony. Yes, you may tell Father. Yes. Mmhm. All right. I will see you soon brother."
Loki hung up and handed the phone back to Pepper who then immediately went back to scolding Tony. The trickster smirked at Tony before slinking away to the bedroom, leaving his Fiance to fend for himself.
Loki's message:
I do hope you survived the onslaught that is Ms. Potts. When ever you find the time, I will be in your workshop napping in one of your convertibles.
Tony's reply:
It was horrible of you to leave her with me. You really should stop doing that, sweetheart. It's not good for your back. I'll come down now and have you carried up, yes? Love you.
Loki's reply:
No! I want to sleep in the car with you.
Tony's reply:
Fine, fine. Just today. But if I get back aches, you're giving me a massage!
Loki's reply:
I will make sure to do more than that.
Tony's blog:
Press conference
Can't Pep just handle that for me? I'm feeling so lazy today.
I just want to stay in beeeeeed.
Loki's blog:
"You reap what you sow" my darling. Try to get out today while it is still nice.
I am. Thor and I are going to go running today. Try not to wait up for me. I will make sure to be tired and beside myself when I return.
Tony's blog:
Argh, sometimes I hate being famous. Why is it the media's problem who I want to marry anyway?
My fiance's the best damn thing in the world.
I'll wait up for you anyway.
Loki's blog:
Ugh. It was horrible! Your stupid media followed me and Thor most of the way until Thor managed to fly us out of there.
We ended up somewhere in….Malibu. Where IS Malibu? Oh, someone said California.
Tony, you have a home here yes? Or your use to. Anyway I am home now except I am napping away the annoyance.
Tony's blog:
They're following you around probably because the world's jealous I've got such a handsome lover. Just so you know. And yes, I still have a home there. We can go there for relaxation soon, if you'd like. I quite miss it there.
I'm on my way home now, sweetie. Though I suppose you must already be napping…
Loki's blog:
On the contrary I am finally up and swimming in the pool.
It is so nice today I just felt like spending it outside. I would love it for you to join me, a late night swim perhaps after dinner? We can have dessert and a glass of wine and then…hmm…spoilers Darling~
Tony's blog:
No wonder I couldn't find you.
But mmm, sure. I'll take you up on that offer, sweetheart. Tonight's going to be splendid- just the two of us. What would you like to have for dinner? I could call someone up to get some food done.
Loki's blog:
All I need for dinner is you Darling~
You better hurry. I am afraid I have lost my bathing trunks somewhere.
Loki's blog:
Eating Out
I realized Thor is less of an annoyance all around in comparison to this Midgardian mass media. Thankfully I found a nice place that has a third floor where I can be left to eat in peace. A bit of a late breakfast but I have things to plan and get in order.
Why are weddings complicated? I have to go back to Asgard soon to talk with Mother and the All-Father…with Thor. I just ooze excitement having to deal with everyone.
Tony's blog:
Sweetheart, we could simply stay engaged for a while if you don't want to deal with the weddings yet. I love you, come home soon.
Loki's blog:
It has nothing to do with myself wanting it to be official. I have give you myself, body and soul and that it enough for me but Thor seems to think getting married now is better then later in case there is a pregnancy out of wedlock. Do they really think of me so careless?
It is insulting. Mother will understand if I speak with her and she can put Thor in his place.
Tony's blog:
Well… I suppose it shows that your brother has faith in my fertility as creepy as that may sound… Wait, you know what? Forget I said that. My lunch is on its way out just thinking of it. Urgh.
Loki's blog:
Well if it ever happened I would have no issue in it. Thor would just have to put up with the idea because he knows first hand how much of an angry hand full I can be.
Tony's blog:
That's not his problem. You can be my handful of angry to deal with. You're mine to take care of.
Loki's blog:
I know darling. Do not fret, I will try to not bother you too much in my…motherly state.
Tony's blog:
Sweetie, even if you're a bother, it doesn't matter because you'll still be the mother of my children. I'd put up with anything for you.
Loki's blog:
Always a charmer, my darling, dashing charmer~
