Due to the massive response of the last chapter, I was so inspired that I decided to update as soon as possible.
A big thank you to LokisPrincess0726, Unicornkatt (I laughed so hard when I read your review), SceneNeko, Thenamesapun, Kowy, Thor's-Wife-4ever, MyDreamsToYou, Extraho606, KairacahraFlower Goddess, TheWritingMonster, Sweet Sweet Hedwig, jay j beatbox, kitkatthevampirelover92, hypersreak, TotallyBlondified and the two guests who reviewed!
On another note, the quote from the last chapter (the one I said it was from The Deep Blue Sea) is actually from an audio book called The Red Necklace that Tom Hiddleston voices in. I was just testing you all and those who picked up on it passed. Congrats! What actually happened was I had watched The Deep Blue Sea before I wrote the chapter and it was still in my head when I did the last part...but Tom Hiddleston's awesomeness can do that to some people – make them lose their train of thought...anyway, enjoy!
Important!

Tony and Loki stared into each other's eyes and neither said anything for several minutes.
"What happened last night?" Tony finally asked.
A smirk appeared on Loki's face, "Are you sure you want to know?".
"Yes," Tony answered without hesitation.
"I'll only tell you if you ask nicely," Loki taunted him.
Tony looked at him with a blank expression before saying in a sarcastic tone, "Oh great God, please tell me what happened last night".
"I'll overlook that tone of yours for now but it better not happen again," Loki threatened him before he released Tony's wrists, "Now my foolish little pet, this is what happened".
Tony spat out the rum in his mouth and started coughing harshly.
"Come now mortal," Loki taunted as he walked towards Tony, "I know I have a great presence but there's no need to choke yourself over it".
"I'm coughing in pure disbelief, not pure amazement," Tony managed to say once he recovered from his coughing fit.
Loki smirked, "Close enough". He strolled passed Tony and picked up his glass of rum.
The God brought it up to his face and took a deep breath before he quickly pulled away with a scowl on his face, "Oh yes. Do tell why you put this repulsive liquid into your body. Surely you are smart enough to know this fluid is not good for your body. Or is your race that stupid that they do not know they are slowly killing themselves?".
"We know what we're doing," he took the glass from Loki before throwing the remainder down his throat, "It dulls our emotions and feelings. Makes life easier to deal with it".
Loki stared at him with a blank expression, "And you demonstrate that so well".
"It's better than crying," Tony flopped down on a couch and poured himself another glass of rum.
Loki sat down on the couch opposite him and studied his movements, "You're reacting a lot calmer than I thought you would've".
"The wonderful creation of alcohol! It dulls feelings, emotions and after you've had enough...you just don't care!" Tony took a sip of rum.
Loki stared at him, "And why is it that you want to...dull your humanity?". Unfortunately for Tony, he was very, very drunk and did not realise exactly who he was talking to.
"Why not?" Tony took another sip, "Life is crap anyway. They say money buys happiness, which in some cases is true, but sometimes it's not worth all the crap you go through with the media or the government or the...I forgot but whatever it is...it's annoying".
The bottle of rum appeared in Loki's hand and he poured Tony another glass, "Do tell more".
"Where do I even start? There's so much crap," Tony groaned before taking a sip of rum.
"Start at the beginning," Loki replied as he poured more rum into Tony's glass.
"My full name is Anthony Edward Stark...Anthony! I'm so not an Anthony hence I go by Tony," Tony began, "My father was a cold, calculating, downright prick. He was constantly pushing me to be the best and that I needed to have iron in my backbone to be successful. Behind his heroic facade, he was an alcoholic and this caused a massive strain on our relationship. Turns out he was a co-creator of the arc-reactor technology and a founding member of S.H.I.E.L.D.. His major role turned out to be the original creator of the arc-reactor which powers both my heart and the Iron Man armour. However, the design of a new element that can stabilize the reactor, my father lacked the technology to create the element at the time, so he embedded the atomic structure of the new element in the disguised form of the blueprint of the Stark Expo layout. Assuming that future technology will be able to synthesize the material, he filmed a message for me and hinted that the key is the Expo model. Before the film ended, he said that I was and always will be his greatest creation. The bastard never told me he loved me — he never even told me he liked me".
"I see. Fathers can be like that. Hiding the truth from you, lying to your face," Loki said as he poured Tony more rum, "They can be such cruel creatures".
Tony paused for a moment, "You sound like you're speaking from experience".
"Don't mind me," Loki waved him off, "Continue".
Tony took another sip of rum before continuing, "After examining the Expo model, I discovered the new element, noting that my father was still teaching me even after being dead for over two decades. The new element became the key to a safer and more powerful arc reactor, which I needed to power the electromagnet protecting my heart without poisoning my blood, as the previous arc reactor had been. Creating a miniature accelerator in my basement lab, I was able to synthesize the new element, upgrade the design of the arc reactor to clean my blood, and construct a new armour suit using the new reactor in time for some good old ass kicking...I guess in a roundabout way...it was his way of caring".
"And your mother?" Loki asked.
"She died in an accident many years ago," Tony finished off the rum in his glass. Loki stared at him for several minutes before the poured the last of the rum into Tony's glass.
"What is this...arc reactor? You mentioned it several times," Loki questioned.
"Each of my Iron Man suits is fitted with their own arc reactors and I have a large scale version of the reactor that powers my factory. The arc reactor I have in my chest protects my heart. The one I was using before was slowly poisoning me with palladium however, after I successfully developed a new element, I no longer have to worry about my own creation killing me. I'm also hoping to use the new arc technology to develop another large scale version of the reactor to power a Stark Tower in New York City for a over a year with clean energy," Tony finished off the rum.
"I told you all of that?" Tony asked in disbelief. He and Loki had decided to move their conversation over to the lounge that was sitting in the room. The room overall was nothing special. Three of the walls were painted white while one was painted a dark green colour. There were several grey couches positioned around a small wooden table with a baboon patterned rug underneath it and there were several wooden tables with a vase containing flowers that matched the room's colour pattern.
Loki smirked, "Turns out when you have a lot to drink, your lips start running. Now do you want to hear the rest?".
"I'm starting to get the feeling I really don't want to know the rest but continue anyway," Tony groaned.
"So...what exactly are you tinman?" the empty rum bottle disappeared from Loki's hand and a new bottle appeared in his hand.
Tony blinked, "I'm human".
"I know your human but...there's something...more," Loki studied the mortal before him, "What are you underneath that suit?".
"Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist," Tony chuckled.
Loki raised an eyebrow, "Playboy?".
"A man who is devoted to the pursuit of pleasurable activities," Tony explained before drinking the rum of his rum, "Such as this...but with women".
"I see," Loki muttered to himself before he asked, "What is a philanthropist?".
Tony took a sip of rum, "Someone who loves humanity".
"How interesting".
"This isn't as bad as I thought it would be," Tony commented.
"Just wait human," Loki smirked, "It's getting to the fun bit soon".
"When you said you were a genius...what exactly makes you one?" Loki asked.
Tony smiled, "I'm an engineering prodigy. I built my first circuit board when I was four years old and an engine at six. I graduated from MIT summa cum laude at 17 and became CEO of Stark Industries at 21. Pretty good if you ask me". Loki and Tony sat in silence for a few minutes; Loki kept pouring more rum into his glass and Tony kept drinking it.
"I have reached a conclusion," Loki suddenly said.
"And what conclusion is that?" Tony asked.
A smirk appeared on Loki's face, "I've always wanted a pet and you amuse me greatly human".
Tony stared at him with a blank expression, "I'm glad I amuse you and everything but how does this relate to wanting a pet?".
"You'll be my new pet," Loki explained, "Your everything I want all rolled up into one package".
Loki suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to Tony, "Smart, witty, arrogant to a small extent but I can over look that flaw since it causes me great amusement".
He placed his hand underneath Tony's chin and turned his face left and right, "You're visually appealing as well".
Tony brushed his hand away, "I'm not your pet Loki".
"Tell me," Loki asked as he trailed a hand up Tony's leg, "How you ever been with a man before?".
"What?" Tony asked in disbelief.
Loki lent forward and whispered into his ear, "Have you ever been with a man before tinman?".
Tony quickly stood up, "Woah! Listen here Boney. I thought I was your pet, not that I'm admitting I am, but people don't do that to their pets".
"I'll take that as a no," Loki smirked, "It is not uncommon for Gods or Goddess from my world to take natives from other worlds and have a sexual relationship with them," Loki stood up and slowly back Tony into a corner, "You mortal...you have managed to peek my interest in you. Therefore, I shall make you my pet since you continue to amuse so".
"I'd really rather not be a pet thank you very much," Tony muttered. All the rum he had been drinking was starting to have an effect. He was struggling to keep his eyes open and his vision started going blurry.
"You don't have much of a choice. I am your master now...and who knows," Loki whispered as he ran a hand towards Tony's lower region, "I may become more".
"You did what!" Tony shouted.
Loki chuckled, "Oh hush. I didn't touch you after you passed out. Which by the way, took a lot of self control on my part. I simply carried you to bed and tucked you in like any good owner would".
"I'm not gay," Tony quickly said, "We are not having any form of a relationship".
"Male or female; people from Asgard don't really care about the gender of our pets...as long as they entertain us and the sex is good, that's all that really matters," Loki lent against the couch and smirked at Tony's dumbfound expression.
Oh this was going to be a very long night for Tony.

There it is everyone! Some of the information is taken from outside sources but we now know why Loki is interested in Tony...and we had a little bit of contact between the two *fan girl squeal*
Anyway, any feedback or comments would be awesome but I'm really hoping a lot of people answer the two ironfrost questions *wink* *wink*
