"Absolutely not!''
''I don't remember asking for your blessing.'' You quip dryly as you and Steve cross your arms simultaneously.
''you know what he's done-'' he starts, having leaned himself now on the kitchen counter as if preparing for a long lecture on why but you waved a hand at him.
''and he's gotten better, you cant tell me you haven't noticed the improvement upon staying here at the tower- be glad they're just harmless pranks and not plots to try to-''
''why do you want to date Reindeer Games anyway?" Tony asked, coming into the room with his usual 'never empty' glass of booze in his hand. ''despite the whole killing and taking over the planet thing, what would necessarily be listed on his Tinder profile?"
"Tinder?" Steve raised a brow and Tony backtracks with a shake of his head.
''an app where you could find your local singles- actually that might be a great place for y-''
''guys! We're getting off track here'' you chime in, a hand at your temple as the boys looked over with silence for once. With a heavy sigh, you look at them with as much confidence as you could muster, regardless of the shakiness in your voice as Steve's expression softened.
''he and I have already started dating.. kinda.. but I wanna try to make this work, he wants to see how it goes.. there's something there and we're happy when we're together.. regardless of his first impression here, forgiveness and second chances should be in the picture until said other wise.''
''kind of hard to give a second chance to literally the god of backstabbing.'' Tony muttered while you shot him a look.
''he's been here for almost a year now since New York, he's helped us in the field when we've brought him along and has been a huge help. He would have compromised the missions somehow if he were still in his old ways but you have to admit, some of those assignments wouldn't have gotten done without his abilities..'' you note, your eyes moving to Steve who now stared at the ground in thought while he listened. Their silence was enough to have you keep going as you took another breath.
''this is happening, and I know to be careful.. he's different, and he cares for me.. i figured I'd just make my rounds to let everyone know-''
''is it basically a heads up that we'll be seeing a lot of touchy- feely stuff??" Tony gawked quickly and you shook your head with reddened cheeks.
''like you don't do that stuff around here Stark.'' Steve rolled his eyes, reminding him of how many girls come and go when no one's watching.
''n-no- I just- I'm tired of all your attempts to set me up at your parties, I'm done with the dating game.. Loki and I just have something here that I've never felt with anyone else..'' you explained and heard a sigh from Rogers who didn't exactly look like he approved but he knew you were going to be stubborn on this so he raised his hands in a surrender position.
''just be careful.. that's all we ask.. Nat and Clint have been assigned today but I think Thors still around somewhere- do not hesitate if he even tries to-''
''ill be fine Steve, thank you..'' you say gently, giving a small smile before you exit the kitchen in search of Thor.
Not your best speech, it honestly felt like you were talking to your parents who didn't approve.. but you were an adult, you've dated before and knew all the red flags you needed to dodge. Sure the whole 'taking over the planet' was a bit of a red flag.. a big one.. but as he's stayed here fulfilling his 'community service', the two of you have had quite the opportunity to bond over that time.
