Anyways... Bring out the tissues kids

Loki and Tony had become friends faster than most would expect. Especially considering one threw the other out of a window. They fought together, they laughed together, they did science-y and magic-y things together.

What was even more unexpected, however, was when they became lovers. Then, eventually, husbands.

It was that last phase that shook those around them most, including Loki and Tony themselves. It was a difficult and life changing choice they decided to make, and it wouldn't be the only one.

It wasn't long before Loki had told Tony about the golden apple. He had brought it up one evening. A fruit that allowed married couples to live forever together.

Tony, surprisingly, had turned it down.

"Would it really be so bad to never age for thousands of years? To never die of sickness? To see all that time itself has to offer," Loki asked, still perplexed that Tony of all people would turn down immortality.

"It's just a huge decision, Lokes," Tony replied. "I'd need some time to think about it. I mean, living forever... That's..." He trailed off, tapping his foot in thought.

Loki seemed unaffected by Tony's uncertainty. "I'll give you time to decide. It will take me awhile to obtain one anyway." He gave Tony a kiss and a smile as he got up from the lab chair he sat on. "I'm off to bed. Try not to stay up too late." He ran a hand through his husband's hair, examining it for a moment, before leaving.
