AUTHOR NOTES: This is really disgustingly sweet and fluffy woah ew how did i do this with tony and loki
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'.

A few months after the Jotun and perfume incident, Tony was called to a..business.. thing
(Loki didn't pay much attention, he was so distraught and busy throwing a silent-fit with lots of pouting and scowling)
and of course, he left Loki alone. A month after that, he was still gone. It must have been hero-work.

Or work-work. Loki didn't know. But he hadn't been able to
(know how or remember how to)
contact Tony.

He needed to. "JARVIS?" Loki called gently, and the AI answered promptly.
"Yes mister Laufeyson?"
"Would you be so kind as to phone Anthony?"

"Of course."
"Record the call as well, please." Why did he say that? Maybe it was his morbid fears of Tony dying
(he didn't even eat the other apples Loki had brought, and he didn't finish the first one! the nerve of that man)

that made him want the conversation recorded, you know, for reasons. Loki wasn't being sentimental, no. Absolutely not.
"Of course. I am phoning Mr. Stark now." Oh bless your circuits, JARVIS.

"Thank you."
Buzzing, ringing, waiting. A click.
"You're calling people now? Proud of you." Tony's voice on the other side of the call was one from a grin.

Loki would have hit him if he was there. But he was more glad to hear a smile than stress.
"Oh shut up, idiot." Loki said, though he couldn't hold in the small laughter behind it. Silence fell between them, but neither felt uncomfortable or awkward at all.

It was surprising to both. Neither knew what to say. Until Loki broke the silence.
"...Miss you." He said softly, voice uncertain.

There was a little more silence.
"I miss you too, Reindeer Games." Tony returned, and Loki smiled fondly at the stupid nickname that he was supposed to hate. Then he thought for a moment.
"How much longer?"

The god asked, fidgeting with the end of his shirt.
"Hm?"
"Until you get home. How much longer until you're done?" There was a bit of tenseness on Tony's part at the question.
"It'll be a few more days."

Tony informed with a slight strangled note in his voice. Loki made a soft disapproving noise from the other end and Tony could just see the look on his face. "I wish it as sooner." He added, and it earned a little more silence. He knew Loki was disappointed with his answer, but he knew there was some peace there, knowing that he wanted it to be a sooner end date.

Loki sighed.
"As do I." Loki said softly, and his heart.. actually.. ached? Gods, it did. He heard a rush of other energies in the room Tony was in.

"Damnit. I gotta go, Lokes." The hero sighed over distant voices that had appeared. Loki didn't like it. He damned those people tenfold in his mind and bit the inside of his mouth. "I love you."

He said, rushed. Loki felt a rush of heat to his face.
"I love you too." He said distantly before recovering and rushing. "Please be home soon."

He implored, and he heard slight clattering of the phone being changed from hand to hand.
"I'll try. See you then, babe." Loki didn't know what to think about being called 'babe'. But he didn't find it bad. Just.. different?

"Love you."
"Anthony don't get into trouble and put the telephone down." Loki scolded, smiling fondly. He heard Tony laugh.
"Sorry. Bye."

"Hang. Up." Loki fought not to laugh. Tony laughed and complied but not before saying "yes ma'am" just to get more laughter on Loki's part. It worked. Loki's laughter died down and he sighed, pulling his knees up to his chest as he sat on the couch.

He sighed again. Then he let silence swallow the room. But he broke it himself, because that's how he worked, thank you very much.
"I miss him." He said out loud, a bit to JARVIS, a bit to himself, a bit to no one and nothing because who needs to know that Loki, god of mischief, lies, and almost-planet-subjugation was aching for a mortal?

That's right, no one.
"If it's any comfort to you, it will be 3 more days at least until Mr. Stark can return." JARVIS informed. Loki smiled a bit.
"Thank you JARVIS."

Did he just bond with an AI?
