A life together

Betrayal

Okay. Let's be honest. Tony was a little shocked when Loki demonstrated his shape-shifting ability. Can you even blame him? After so long, his boyfriend had forgotten to mention that little detail. Nothing important.

Once he had arrived at the gala— and after a short exchange of words with Obie — he headed to the bar. As usual.

"Give me a scotch. I'm starving"

The bartender looked at him amusedly and said, "You know, when someone is hungry they usually ask for food, not alcohol."

"I'm sorry, did I ask for your opinion? Because I thought I only asked for my drink."

"Cheer up, you look like you do not want to be here"

"That's cause I don't", he said distractedly.

"If that is the case, then maybe you can go home with me," said the bartender with a smirk plastered on his face, finally getting his attention.

"No can do, I'm taken. Sorry not sorry. Plus, I don't even know your name"

"I am Lukas," he said with a glint in his green eyes. "No last name"

Tony almost spits out his drink at the laugh that escaped him, "You little shit"

"I am the god of mischief, love. Not going to lie, I am a little disappointed, Anthony. I thought you were going to recognize me faster"

"We can't have that, can't we? I'm sure we can fix that disappointment when we get home," he said.

Loki looked at him playfully, "I am sure we can. I heard you were quite good at that" He looked over his shoulder and said, "But now, it seems like a government agent wants to talk to you."

"Ugh, I hate government agents"

"See you around, Stark"

Before the god disappeared from sight, he yelled, "You're gonna pay for that later"

Agent Phil Coulson asked him for an appointment to talk about Afghanistan and, distracted by the presence of a beautiful woman with dark hair and pale skin, he sent him to speak with Pepper. After all, she was the one running his schedule.

The woman was staring at him almost unblinking, which would have been creepy if he hadn't realized that her green eyes and her smile were ones he knew like the back of his hand.

With a short nod, Loki invited him out onto the balcony and, as always, Tony followed in his footsteps.

"When I think you can't surprise me anymore, you go and become the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," he said, wrapping his arms around his waist and pulling him closer until their foreheads touched.

To Tony's delight, Loki blushed. "It is just me, Anthony. Not much has changed. Just a little more feminine."

"Exactly. Female or male, you're still the most gorgeous being in the universe."

With sparkling eyes, they kissed. And then they kissed again. And again. And again. Until a cough interrupted them and they saw Pepper staring at them unimpressed. They giggled like teenagers.

"I thought the honeymoon stage ended in the first months of a relationship"

"How is it going to end when I have the sweetest boyfriend ever? Also, he's hot" Tony said, making Loki's cheeks warm for the second time.

"You guys are adorable. It's disgusting", they all laughed. "Tony, there are a lot of people in there wanting to talk to you"

"I don't want to talk to them"
