There's Magic Everywhere You Go

Loki had regrets. He really didn't want to go for dinner with the Avengers, Odin and Frigga. Well, Frigga and Tony, perhaps he would. The rest of them? No. He wanted nothing more than to hide in his room for the rest of his days, which he doubted and hoped weren't many. Then again, Tony looked so happy when he said he'd go. How could he turn back now? He saw his human smile so brightly. He knew he had to do it. For Tony.

"Damn, I should come here more often." Tony smirked as he watched the god undress. He saw the green glow cover Loki's body, so he knew that there was an illusion up, but he didn't want to question why. If Loki wanted him to know, he'd say.

Loki snorted amusedly and shook his head. He'd put the illusions so that Tony couldn't see his real body. He wasn't as good as he was a century ago. Sure, he'd been working out, but his eating was restricted and he had too many injuries to still look how he wanted to. Tony guessed that it was to hide injuries, seeing that the bruises that were previously visible were gone. The healers told him that the god was malnourished too, so he guessed that that was another reason. He didn't complain though. He knew that Loki would show himself soon enough. He just had to wait and be supportive.

"Perhaps if we skip the dinner I could give you a bit more of a show," Loki teased as he pulled the leather trousers on.

Tony couldn't help but laugh at Loki's words, knowing that he would happily do that other than go to the dinner. Tony knew that the god really didn't want to go, but he appreciated the fact that he was trying.

"Maybe later, kitten," Tony replied softly. The human got up from the bed and walked behind the god. He wrapped his arms around his waist, having to go on his tip toes to be tall enough to reach the god's neck. "But maybe later I can see the real you."

Loki hesitated slightly. The real him was a monster. He couldn't deal with seeing himself. Not with his heritage. He hadn't seen his real self since he left Thanos, and he didn't want to see himself again. He knew that Tony meant his Aesir self, which he was still up in minds about. He didn't want Tony to see how weak he was. He wanted to be strong. He didn't want Tony to see how vulnerable he was.

"Perhaps," Loki agreed, feeling unnerved by the thought. He looked at Tony and chuckled softly. "You're tiny."

Tony gasped in feign hurt, but didn't let go of the god. He loved seeing the teasing gleam in the gods eyes. He'd never seen it before, but he could see that the trickster was in his element when he was being mischievous. It made him so happy to see the god like that.

"I'm not tiny! You're abnormally tall!" Tony defended himself, holding the god closer.

"No, I'm short," Loki replied amusedly.

"You're stupidly tall! In what world are you short?!" Tony's voice was higher by at least an octave, not that he would ever admit to that.

"By Aesir standards, I'm short." Loki chuckled softly.

"Yeah, and by human standards I'm tall!" Tony exclaimed, holding onto the god tightly.

"My love, you're perfect the way you are, and I truly wouldn't have you any other way." Loki smiled softly, seeming completely genuine with what he said.

Tony smiled softly and gently kissed the tricksters cheek, both of them more than content with what was said. Tony had never felt anything like it. He felt so genuinely loved, and he smiled as adoring the feeling.

"Same goes for you, kitten." Tony grinned. "Now stop distracting me and finish getting ready."

Tony moved away from the god, despite the two of them wanting nothing more than to stay like that for the rest of the night. He sat back down on the bed and watched Loki, a small smile on his face as he did. He'd found his soulmate, and despite his initial worry, he couldn't be happier. Sure, there were going to be a lot of worries, but in that moment... he was happy. He was beginning to see Loki for how he really was, and he couldn't help but fall in love with the god he was seeing. He knew that it wasn't going to be easy, that there were moments that would be hard, but maybe they'd be worth it. Loki was worth it.
