A life together

Mr And Mr

To say that Loki and Tony's wedding was one of the weirdest and funniest weddings in existence is an understatement.

It was only a week after the Battle of New York and they both had zombie faces caused by lack of sleep. Tony had nightmares about what he saw through the portal every night and when he woke up, it was usually to see Loki equally terrified, as the god had nightmares about the time that he was not in control of his own mind.

"Shh, you're okay, sweetheart. You're okay. You're with me, we're in our bedroom at the tower, in New York."

Loki squeezed him hard, hiding his face next to the reactor on his chest. They were both breathing unevenly, trying to calm down. "I am sorry. I swear I did not want to, I did not want to. They made me, I did not want to throw you out the window and I did not want to hurt Phil either."

"I know, honey. I know. It's okay," he said, softening his fiancé's dark hair. "Hey, we're getting married in a few hours, do you think you can sleep a bit more?" He felt Loki shake his head. "That's fine, I'm not gonna be able to either. How about we stay in bed like this for a little while? It's like three in the morning."

"Alright," he whispered.

And none of them closed an eye again for the remainder of the night.

That morning, the penthouse was full of people. Aunt Peggy and Fury were the first to arrive. She had bought a two decker cake to which the god added two dolls. A little Iron Man and a little Loki in his Asgardian armor. Pepper and Rhodey were next, she entered complaining about how the husbands-to-be were dressed while he was decorating the place with balloons. Happy just said that he was there for the free food.

Jane, Darcy arrived with bags of goodies and took it upon themselves to order the food for lunch. Thor was almost late and Loki, who was moody for the few hours of sleep, stabbed him with a small dagger making his brother laugh at him.

This is how the couple -Tony dressed in his Black Sabbath shirt and Loki in a simple green shirt- were married by Nick, who officiated the wedding.

Their vows were pathetically short, but neither of them had taken the time to write them down or even think about them, they just wanted to call the other 'husband', so they simply said a bunch of corny stuff with 'I love you' at the end.

"Please tell me you at least have rings?" Fury asked.

With huge smiles, they all watched as Dum-E rolled towards them with the rings in a box gripped by his claw.

"Good boy," said the genius petting his arm fondly.

Loki's ring was silver with a row of tiny emeralds, while Tony's was gold with a row of rubies. Both had an inscription on the inside 'Promise to come back', and with a little spell, the god of mischief made sure that only those who knew about the two of them could see the jewelry on their fingers.

They made their promises and exchanged rings, and when Nick said, "I now declare you husband and god-husband," they both let out soft tearful laughs followed by a beautiful, sweet kiss. Their first kiss as a married couple.

JARVIS was in charge of the music and they had cheeseburgers and ice cream for lunch. Queen Frigga visited them in the afternoon, which made Loki even happier. She gave her son a secret gift and then she told them something vague about their future.

"Your love is pure, but you are both deeply hurt. Soon, you are going to meet one of the missing pieces to your puzzle. Be patient, my boys. Eventually you are going to heal."

"Great, now I'm going to be looking forward to something that I have no idea what it is. What if we pass it by? How are we going to know if we find it?"
