Author's Note: So this chapter is kinda fluffy. Ha Lol. Been on FFN for about 2-3 years now and still not familiar with all the terms. OMG I'm so late with everything!

Also did you hear about Hershey not wanting any more imported chocolates from Britain because the wrappers are too simiar? WTF! You just don't mess with chocolate like that. OMG I'm going to die! I love chocolate so much. *sobs* Anyway...

ENJOY!

After what seemed like an entire day, Tony was itching to move. He shifted in his chair, careful not to make a sound, lest he disturb the sleeping god on the other side of the room. At least Tony hoped he was sleeping. Loki really needed the rest.

"Hey Reindeer Games. You want me to get you something to eat?" he said softly. Loki shifted slowly. Tony gave a mental shout of joy when he saw a blazing green eye look in his direction. Still, the god said nothing. Tony sighed. He'd just get Loki to eat a little something so he wouldn't starve at least. Even if he had to shove it down the god's throat.

He stood and left the room to find a servant to relay the information to. He was scared to leave Loki alone for even that short amount of time. Thor had warned him that Loki had attempted suicide in the past. When he came back, Loki was still thankfully laying in bed where Tony had forced him into two nights before. He hadn't moved since.

When the food finally arrived, Tony moved to sit closer to the bed. "C'mon Loki. You need to eat something. At least drink some water." the inventor urged. Loki didn't so much as blink. Tony reached out to pull back the covers and pull the god toward him. He cursed when his hand grazed the now suddenly blue skin.

"You know that was rude. I'm trying to help you. If you're not going to do anything for yourself, the least you could do is just lay there and not resist while others try to do shit for you." Tony stuffed his aching fingers under his arm. He crawled up onto the bed beside Loki as best as he could with one arm. Tony had ordered that the tray be placed on the table next to it, so Tony could reach over easily. He put a small handful of grapes on a plate and held them out to the god. It was probably best that he give Loki something light.

"If forced to do so, I will risk frostbite again to shove this down your throat. I may never be able to build another machine again, but you will be by my side to ease the pain." Loki mumbled something into the pillow. Tony leaned closer. "What was that?" he asked hopefully. Loki rolled his red Jotun eyes. "I'm not hungry." he said a bit louder. Tony frowned.

"It's not much. Just a few pieces of fruit and I'll be happy for now." he said. After staring at the blanket of fur he was wrapped in for several long moments, Loki glanced from the inventor's hand to his face. He sighed in defeat and gripped the pendant in his hand before snatching the plate from Tony. The inventor watched him eat it all before he was satisfied.

They lay there for a few more minutes before Loki jumped up, hand over his mouth. Tony could hear him wretching in the bathroom after that. "You ok?" he called. Loki continued to vomit into the toilet. Tony got and went into the bathroom. He knelt down and held the god's hair back while he trembled. Loki groaned and leaned against Tony's leg.

"Are you done? Can you come back to bed now?" he asked. Loki nodded and got to his feet. Tony helped him back into the room, wrapping an arm around his waist.

"Are you sure you aren't constipated?" the inventor joked, feeling the slight hardness of the god's stomach. Loki shot a glare at him. "Shut up Stark." he growled.

Loki curled up on his side. "Look...I know you may be feeling guilty right now and I just want you to know that it's not your fault. It wasn't. You couldn't have done anything to help them. The Other...he tricked you. He lied..." he paused when he heard Loki begin to sob.

"I was selfish...I could have let the Other kill me in their place. It was the right thing to do." Loki buried his face into his shirt. "It's all my fault..." he said.

Tony stroked his hair. "No Loki. It's not. I know what I'm saying sounds like shit. I was never really good at comforting people. You can ask Pepper. When it was that time of the month, I was terrible. She would see a comercial for UNICEF and start crying and I would just lock myself in my lab until it was over." he said. Loki sniffed.

"What is UNICEF?" he asked. Tony smiled. "It's this thing where people donate money for...uh...sick animals." he said quickly. Loki smiled. "Does it work? Do the animals get better?" he asked. Tony shrugged. "Some do. Others don't. Mostly the ones who don't make it are the ones who are too far gone. It's always sad when that happens."

Loki nodded. "I am sure it is." Tony tightened his arm around Loki, pulling him closer. Loki moved so that his head was laying on his chest, just beside his arc reactor.

"Tony...I love you." The god looked up at the slightly starlted man. "What?" he said. Loki continued to look at him. "I've never really said that to anyone before and meant it. Not even Sigyn and she was such a good wife to me. Don't get me wrong, I do love her. Just...not in the same way. Not anymore. Things have changed now." Loki smiled, snuggling against Tony. "I love you too Loki." he whispered. Tony sighed and continued to stroke Loki's hair.

"I want you to come back to Midgard with me Loki. I would be so much happier if you did." Loki nodded against his chest. "Alright Tony. Whatever you want." the god said sleepily. He was fighting a losing battle, having forced himself to stay awake for the past few weeks.

"Go to sleep Loki. You need it." Tony urged. Loki moaned. "Whatever you want Tony." he mumbled.

Thor immediately went to his mother after he left Loki in Tony's care. He was hoping that his mother might be able to make a sleeping drought for his brother so that he could sleep. Frigga refused his request however.

"I do not think that giving him any more potions would be healthy. He must be given the time to come to terms with this new knowledge without the aid of drugs. He can become severely dependant on them. You cannot allow him to hide everytime something gets difficult. You cannot protect him from everything Thor." The god nodded slowly. "But, mother-." She sighed. "Goodbye Thor. Perhaps you should go and visit your Lady. I am quite sure she misses you."

Thor nodded. "Of course mother. I will take a week off from Asgard to see her. I feel as though I have not seen her in ages." Frigga smiled. "A mother knows best. Now go. And do not waste too much time nagging Loki. He probably wants to spend all of his time with Tony, interrupted."

"You will look after them won't you? And the Captain and Bruce Banner?" he asked. She nodded. "Yes, yes Thor. I will look in on them all." she promised, watching as her son took off running.

"So will you come back with me?" Tony asked. Loki eyed him thoughtfully. After once again vomitting that morning shortly after he got up, Frigga had given him some tea to soothe his stomach. He stayed in his Aesir form to drink it. Forcing himself to stay awake all through the night was taking a toll on his body, much to Tony's and his mother's distress.

"I promise I'll take care of S.H.I.E.L.D. and anything else you could ever need. We could go to my penthouse in Malibu. Or if it's too hot for you there, we could go back to the tower in New York. And if you need some other place that's cooler, we could go to Antartica. I've got a couple houses up there for some reason. I'll have to keep my workshop hot as hell so my machines don't freeze up, but I don't care. I'll even-" Loki rolled his eyes.

"Anthony, please." the god moaned. The inventor stopped takling to look at Loki who was using one hand to rub his temples and drinking his tea with the other.

"I have nothing keeping me here on Asgard, save my mother. Maybe Thor too if he does not already spend much of his time on Midgard and choose to stay on your realm with Lady Jane. If it is alright with Banner and the Captain then I will be happy to return with you. Of course you will have to make accomodations for Lítt Bjarn-dýr. But he is small. He could stay in my room." Tony stared at him.

"What is a lit born durn?" he asked. Loki sighed. "He is my-" Frigga entered the room carring a tray. "How are you feeling Loki" she askd. He smiled. "I am quite alright. Just a little nausea now and then. And maybe a bit of..." His cheeks got a bit red and he trailed off. "Never mind that last part. It is not important." he mumbled. Tony sighed. "He's constipated." the engineer provided. Loki glared at him.

"Oh my poor baby. I will get you something fot that. Wait here." she ordered. Tony burst out laughing once she had gone "You should see your face! Ha ha ha! Oh wait! No sit back down Loki! I didn't mean it. I still want to live!" he cried as the god arose and stalked toward him like the lethal predator he ws.

"Damn you Anthony. Now she might want to give me an enema." he grumbled, flopping down beside Tony.

"Are you sure my presence will not be an inconvience in the tower?" he asked quietly. Tony kissed the top of his head "I'm sure your mom's not gonna give you an enema, and no you won't be an inconvience. I promise. You might even spice things up." he told him.

"By the way...what is that thing you said again? Lit something." Loki smiled. "His name is Lítt Bjarn-dýr but I call him Lítt Bjǫrn for short." the god answered fondly. "I must speak to Thor about his whereabouts." he muttered. Loki sighed tiredly and propped himself up against the headboard, trying to resist the urge to sleep once again.

"Loki you really need to sleep. You're starting to look like a drug addict or something. Or me when I get caught up in my machines for a few days straight."

Loki smiled. "I am quite fine Anthony." he said tightly. He looked up as Frigga reentered the room, carrying a bag. Loki paled, whiched seemed impossible with his current cmplexion. "Oh no..." he groaned. Frigga smiled. "Alritht Loki. Since you have been taking so many potions lately I will not be giving you any more. So it will have to be...an enema." she said sweetly. He swallowed.

"I think I would prefer... being eaten alive by a biglesnipe." he said. Frigga shook her head. "Loki..." she admonished. "It has happened before. It was not an enjoyable experience the last time it happened, but, I would prefer it to...that." he snarled. Frigga sighed and looked at Tony. Loki glared at them both.

"You want me to do it?" the engineer asked. Loki sighed. "Alright. But you will tell no one of this. Or I will kill you myself." Tony smiled. "C'mon babe. Let's get this over with."
