An Earthly Scandal

Rock of Ages and Iron Man

As promised, *Looks at other writer dramatically* a new part for you guys. We are running out of things to have in this one so we may be ending it soon. We will write more stories of course and we are always ready to write some comment driven ones in Frostiron. So please, if you have ideas let us know and if you want to give us some ideas on how to keep An Earthly Scandal going for awhile longer than Loki's Affairs! -143_Tom_Hiddles

Tony held onto Loki, he was shaking and covered in sweat, both of them had sticky bellies but Loki didn't care he was spent. He was exhausted but he felt good, Tony was spooning him and he loved every single second of this. Tony's breath was warm against his neck and Loki softly rocked his hips into Tony's.

"What, you want more?" Tony asked, failing to stifle a laugh. Loki scoffed.

"I'm just trying to get comfortable Anthony." Loki said to him, reaching one hand to pull up the comforter. "Is it so wrong to have to do this to be comfy?"

"Oh shut up." Loki wriggled out of Tony's grasp and threw the blankets over himself and Tony. Both of them cocooning in one portion of it. Tony even though he was smaller took up more room but made up for a cold Loki by holding onto him again. "I won't let you get cold Rock of Ages."

"Thank the Gods." Loki chuckled as he yanked some over his exposed shoulder. "After this we may just have to take another shower."

"I've taken more showers in the past week than I can even count. And most of them I've not taken alone, its a weird amount. I'm too clean, I need to go work in my lab or something." Tony said looking at his fingers. There was no grim underneath them, they looked healthy and yes, clean.

"Well let's be honest, you aren't very clean right now." Loki said, closing his green eyes. Tony smiled at him.

"Yes and neither are you." Both of them laughed.

"Alright then, shower time?" Loki asked as he burrowed into the blankets.

"Nah, let's just lay here. Maybe in a few minutes we'll go shower but you're warm and I'm warm and by God I'm going to take advantage of that!" Tony kissed Loki's lips roughly but didn't make any further move after he pulled away, leaving his head on Loki's pillow.

"I love you Anthony."

"I love you too Loki." Tony got closer to him and Loki put his arm over Tony, putting his forehead to Tony's. The two of them laid there in each others arms. For this, it was the greatest sleep they'd had in ages. They both felt safe.

For Tony, it was someone who he seemed to fit with perfectly, it was someone he had to protect instead of himself being protected. Someone who he trusted, even if Loki had tried to kill him he needed him now.

And for Loki it was someone who he knew would make sure he was safe, and that besides Frigga he was loved. Loki felt able to relax with Tony, he felt comfortable and he loved him.

Loki and Tony woke up a few hours later. The sun was starting to set as the walls were red. Loki gave a sleepy inward breath and Tony smiled propping his arm up on the pillow to look at Loki.

"You hungry?" He asked grunting and he shut his eyes briefly to get nudged awake again by Loki.

"No, but I slept amazing."

"You too? I don't remember ever having a nap that awesome. I want another one."

"Same. But maybe later, come on, we better get up." Loki said to Tony, Tony buried himself deep in the blankets. Loki chuckled as all the sheets were taken, though he shivered he stood up, stretched, and walked into the bathroom, silently. "No Anthony we need to wake up now. I'm going to go shower really fast, I'll wake you once I've finished." At the word 'Shower' Tony was wide awake, and his Arc Reactor and chest were outside of the blanket warmth.

"Oh, another shower?" He asked, purring.

"Not that kind of shower, I'm taking a quick one and then I'm out again." Loki said, shutting the bathroom door. He heard Tony flop back onto the mattress again. He smiled at the door, then turned around and frowned when he looked in the mirror.

His skin was pale, hair a frizzing mess, but to his own surprise though he was looking right at himself. Loki smiled. He smiled because he looked healthy again, he smiled because his skin was pale, and he smiled because of his frizzed black hair.

Tony watched him close the door. He fell back against the bed. It took a minute or so for him to hear the shower start. He flopped over onto his stomach.

"JARVIS?"

"Yes Sir?" Came the voice of the I.A.

"What's Loki doing?"

"He's showering Sir."

"OK, thanks JARVIS."

"Yes Sir." Tony stayed quiet, listening to the shower run and shot off. Loki slid the door open.

"Anthony, were are the towels?" He called. "Hurry, I'm cold!" Tony got out of bed and wandered in. Loki was naked and shaking all over. Tony reached into the closet and pulled out a large towel, he handed it to a shivering Loki. 

"OK, I'm gonna take a shower really fast and then we'll decide what to eat. Hold on." Tony quickly turned the faucet. The water was still warm due to its last occupant stepping out only moments before. He picked up the soap and began to scrub himself with it. He yawned as the warm water ran over his shoulders and down his back side. Like Loki though, he took only a few minutes before getting out and grabbing a towel to dry off. 

Loki had left the bathroom to get dressed and left Tony in the bathroom searching around for his own clothing. When he only managed to find his boxers he stood up in that and walked into the bedroom. 

"Have you seen the rest of my clothes?" He asked Loki, as he buttoned his jeans. Tony ran a hand through his hair. 

"No, Anthony, I have not seen your clothing but I can lend you something to wear." He pointed towards the dresser and Tony began shuffling through it. Most of the shirts fit perfectly, however, the sweat pants he found when way past his ankles. 

"Dammit." He growled to himself as Loki gave him a laugh and a big smile. "Stop laughing at me." 

"I can't you look adorable and you know it!" Loki stood up and walked to his side. "Lighten up Anthony, come on, lets go sit in the other room." Loki seized his hand and led him into the living room. He sat Tony down on the couch first before curling up to him.
