AUTHOR NOTES: wHOO HOOOOO it's connecting more.
INTRODUCTION: Idiot. The word idiot is used to imply that one is stupid, daft or dumb. Some people use it as a term of endearment. Loki is one of those people. He uses the word idiot as freely as Tony drinks.

This is a collection of times Loki called Tony 'Idiot'.

The next morning

(well a few hours later really)
Tony woke with a start but he didn't remember anything from a few hours earlier- Oh god until he did and then he was in a panic, jolting upwards in the bed and launching himself out of it. He hoped to god that he wouldn't find Loki lying on the floor of his living room in a pool of his own blood, green eyes covered in a veil and staring up into nothing.

Fuck. No no fuck that, Tony would have none of it. He was sure Loki would be alive but there was a more realistic part in him that was already planning the god's funeral. Green and black velvet in a gold coffin would be nice. Wait but should it be public or not?

Tony wanted to smack himself for actually thinking of these things. He heard sizzling as he got closer to the kitchen which was for some reason his autopilot destination. He honestly didn't know- Oh. That's why.

"Good morning, Stark." Loki greeted, not looking up from the food he was making. Tony blinked slowly and rushed over to the god, pulling up his dark green sweater to stare at his back. There was dried blood and slight discolourations of his wounds. Tony stared, and after what seemed like a thousand years, Loki spoke again.

"Something wrong, Stark?" He asked, voice smooth and entirely mended, though he did sound a little tired.
"You're alive.." Tony breathed, ghosting his fingers down Loki's spine, earning a shiver and a chuckle from the god.
"And here I thought that you were fond of me."

He laughed very gently, and Tony blinked, placing his whole hand flat against the trickster's back.
"I can't believe you're alive.." Seriously. He couldn't. With that much blood lost and that many arrows and that much colour drained from his eyes and face.

He looked dead when he came to Tony for help. Loki scoffed.
"Of course I am alive, idiot. You forget that I can heal myself." Loki said, and Tony felt a little stupid then.
"Well if you can do that why couldn't you have just fixed everything yourself?"

"They've figured out a way to make a magic suppressant " He said smoothly, as if he were discussing the weather. "They put it in the arrows. I was lucky to have been able to get myself to you at all." Tony paled at the thought that Loki actually could have died. He was actually almost dead when he came to Tony.

Does that mean Tony saved his life? That brought fraternizing with the enemy to a whole new level. As if fucking the enemy wasn't bad enough. Tony wrapped his arms around Loki's middle and held onto him tightly, mouthing at the join of his shoulder and neck. Loki hummed and turned the stove off, not caring anymore about breakfast.

He was really stunned and glad that he was alive as well. And it was all thanks to a mortal. A mere mortal. His mortal. He sighed and turned around, feeling Tony hold him tighter.

Loki shook his head. "I won't disappear, idiot.." The god breathed. And then there was an eternity of Tony just holding him close, their heartbeats pressed together. And then Tony spoke, after gathering their dirty clothes and bloody skin.

"We need a bath."
