SUMMARY: "Mm..I missed you, you idiot." Loki muttered as he rather ungracefully threw his arms around Tony's neck and pulled him down.
"Oh man I can't believe I went a month without being called that." Tony sighed, smile fully in place and Loki tightened his arms and laughed into his mortal's neck.
AUTHOR NOTES: Oh man, if this wasn't a chapter story with followers that I am fond of, you would have full on smut in thi chapter, but as youo saw in the warnings if you read them, it would be so awkward and i would cry.

Mercury is in retrograde and it's fucking my ability to write and my writing skills in the ass. woah i should not have said that but it may make some of you giggle so. Yeah. leavING IT IN BECAUSE YOLO.
someone shoot me
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'.


Loki lays in the bed
(his and tony's bed)
and he curled on to his side, staring at the clock on the bedside table. Counting the hours down until Tony would be home. He forgot when, actually.

"JARVIS?" He called softly, raising his head a little.
"Yes sir?" The AI responded promptly and Loki bit at the inside of his lip briefly.
"What time did you say Anthony would be back? It seems I've forgotten.."

He trailed off, hating being so.. piney.. And for a mortal! Well.. of course for a mortal. Tony Stark was no mere mortal.. Loki was snapped out of his thoughts as the AI spoke again.

"Don't worry. He will be back at six o'clock this evening, sir." Loki nodded and looked again at the clock. It was eleven in the morning. He sighed.
"Thank you JARVIS."

"Any time sir." Loki buried his face into Tony's pillow with a hum. Maybe he would sleep until Tony got back. Yeah. He was kind of tired.

The heating he'd told JARVIS to turn on was making him frighteningly drowsy.
"JARVIS, lights." Loki called, muffled by the pillow and if JARVIS could laugh, he would have right then.
"Yes sir. Sleep well, sir."

"Mnhthankyou." Loki muttered before closing his eyes and rather quickly falling asleep.
Elsewhere, and four hours later, in a taxi heading to the tower, which wasn't very far at all now, Tony was drinking coffee and looking at his Stark phone while the driver of the taxi had stars in his eyes.
(wow i'm actually drivin' tony stark! iron man! the boys back at the hang ain't gonna believe this.)

Tony didn't even know why he hadn't just called Happy to drive him. Maybe because he didn't even have to raise his arm all the way when this guy stopped,and he looked like a little kid watching superhero shit on the tv. Hey, he wasn't a dick all the time. Tony closed the little window that separated the driver from the passenger
(or passengers)

with a smile, and settled back in his seat.
"JARVIS. Visuals on Loki please." Tony said, excited to be able to see Loki at all at this point.
"Yes sir." JARVIS complied, and a feed of Loki showed up on the screen of his phone.

He was surprised to see the god was just.. sleeping. And it was adorable.
"Awwww look at my cute little god of mischief, all sleepy and stuff. Bububububu." Tony cooed rather obnoxiously.
"Sir, I would not advise doing that, as you are mic'd at the moment."

JARVIS warned, and Tony covered his mouth and snickered.
"Take me off mic, JARVIS."
"Already done, sir." Tony hummed and stared at Loki on the screen, pillow in his arms.
"Don't alert him when I get into the tower, okay? Or any of the rooms or anything. Just kind of sleep once you greet me or something."

Tony was rambling, and, again JARVIS would have laughed if he could. Maybe Tony should do that for him. JARVIS was cool, so he deserved cool things. He was basically part of the family.
"Of course, sir."

When Tony got into the tower, he got into the elevator and told JARVIS to 'make it go fast'. He almost had a heart attack, and so after he recovered, he told JARVIS to 'never do that again'. The hero dropped his bags outside of the elevator and he made his way to the bedroom. Loki was still asleep, but the pillow was on the floor and he was sprawled on his back. The hero smiled fondly and he leaned over the bed, feeling only a little bad that he was about to wake up the peaceful god.

"Sleepy, babe?" Tony smiled, and Loki stirred, furrowing his brows and opening his eyes. He gave a small smile before frowning. He blinked and hummed, stretching against the bed briefly.
"Mm..I missed you, you idiot."

Loki muttered as he rather ungracefully threw his arms around Tony's neck and pulled him down.
"Oh man I can't believe I went a month without being called that." Tony sighed, smile fully in place and Loki tightened his arms and laughed into his mortal's neck. "I also can't believe that the place is in one piece. And you were taking a nap! What else did I miss?" Loki hummed as if he were thinking.

"Me." The god mumbled, a soft smile in his voice. Tony rolled his eyes and laughed because that sounded like something he would say.
"Besides that." Tony pressed, sitting on the bed and laying next to Loki because it as obvious that the god wasn't going to let go of him.

Loki sighed softly, and tightened his hold on the hero before relaxing, chewing on the inside of his cheek.
"Thor. He came around here last week. He and I spoke with each other. He stayed for a little while."
"You actually.. you talked to your brother? You actually..?"
"Oh don't make a scene, idiot." Loki warned, fond smile coming back.

"I still haven't gotten a welcome back kiss, and now I'm offended." Tony pouted and Loki huffed, and kissed him shortly with a smile.
"Ah.. I missed you. I hate you for leaving me alone for so long, you know. I'll hold a grudge." Loki said, and Tony stroked his cheekbone with his thumb, arching a brow at him.
"I don't think you will."

Tony played along and Loki hummed, lazily gazing up at him.
"Ah but you underestimate me, Anthony. I hold such intense grudges." The god said, pronouncing everything so clearly, and Tony was briefly reminded of the Loki he'd first met, all sharp lines and bright blue eyes and a frightening hatred for anything that moved.
"Like the one against Thor. Though I don't think that's a grudge, I think that's more spite and jealousy." Tony shouldn't have said that.

Because Loki tensed and flinched away from him like he'd been struck, and he stared at him so intensely that it made Tony feel like he was being looked right through. Shit. Uh. Time to regroup. Rethink.

Hope that he didn't actually say that. But he did. Fuck.
"How dare you."
"Loki I'm sorry-"

"How dare you?!"
"Loki please I'm sorry just-"
"You dare speak of things you cannot begin to understand?"
"Loki come on-"
"How dar-"

The rest of Loki's
(bitching)
angry spiel was cut short when Tony crushed his mouth to Loki's, clutching him tightly. It was a good, hard kiss, and both were breathless as Tony pulled away.
"Shut up."

Tony said lovingly, and Loki looked a combination of annoyed, angered, and amused. Yeah, those were all A words on purpose. "Remember the fact I missed you and love you? Focus on that, okay?" Tony was so focused on keeping Loki calm and lovely that he didn't even see the devilish spark appear in his green eyes. All of a sudden, Tony's ass was being grabbed and Loki slotted their hips together.

Tony's eyes got big and he made a surprised noise at the action, and he looked down at a heavily smirking Loki. Well shit.
"I think I'd much rather focus on this." Loki said smoothly, punctuating and emphasizing the last word with another rock of his hips. Tony smirked down at Loki and he leaned down to capture the god's mouth in another kiss.

Nothing, not even coffee and burgers could beat being welcomed home by an affectionate, horny, god of mischief.
