An Earthly Scandal

A 'Hella' Huge Surprise.

"I'm so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy, heavy
So heavy in your arms
This will be my last confession
I love you never felt like any blessing
(Ohhhh)
Whispering like it's a secret
Only to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart...."

Loki tapped Tony lightly on the shoulder the next morning, he had been so excited after watching Troy that when it finished he and Tony had laid in bed for hours talking about it, Loki doing most of the talking. Tony was a trooper though and waited until Loki had finally run out of questions and comments about it to go to bed. So now in the morning Loki was awake and he kissed Tony softly until he woke up, he squished his face up against his pillow with a last little snore.

"Mornin'." Tony said groggily after returning a quick peck to the nose.

"Good morning."

"Come 'ere." Tony lifted an arm and Loki cuddled beneath it. "I've got a huge surprise for you today."

"Oh really?"

"Yes. Hella huge surprise." Tony smacked his lips and closed his eyes again. He buried his face into Loki's chest only to remove it with complaint when Loki laughed.

"It's already 8:15 Anthony, its time to wake up." Loki said rolling out of bed and striding to the bathroom. "Come on sleepyhead get up or I'm having JARVIS turn on the music and I'm showering alone." Loki turned on the shower and Tony came scurrying in.

"If there is one thing you are not doing, its showering without me."

"Well good morning to you." Loki with a laugh as he pulled off his shirt and boxers. "Be a dear and get the towels? I 'forgot' where they are." He stepped into the shower and lifted his arms to his head to wet his long black hair. Tony quickly grabbed two towels and came in after him.

"What would happen if I shoved you up against the wall right now?" Tony asked grabbing Loki's hips.

"Why do you want to find out."

"No reason." Loki turned around and looked down at Tony who had a mischievous look on his face. Loki raised an eyebrow and flicked water in Tony's face. One of Tony's hand went past the hip and grabbed Loki's rump, and he pushed Loki up against an adjacent wall. Loki shuddered at the touch of the cold on his skin, he knew what Tony was doing.

He watched as his hands turned blue, and Tony grinned like a small child who'd just been given their favorite candy. The smaller man stood on his tiptoes and kissed Loki on the lips.

"Good morning." He whispered when he broke away and he stepped into the water, Loki stoke a hand underneath it and the blue started to fade from his skin. "Do you not like looking like a Jotun?"

"I'm quite used to this form of myself so having blue skin is something strange. You seem rather fine with it though, its strange to me."

"Well I figured because its a part of you its best to be proud of it," Tony said as Loki reached behind him and grabbed some hair product, "I mean I'm not always proud of the Arc Reactor but it keeps me alive, the shrapnel that is trying to get at my heart would surely have killed me by now." Loki lathered up his hair before making Tony scoot out from under the water to rinse it, he had a very serious look on his face: One of very deep thought.

"How does one respond to that?" He asked more to himself than Tony as he grabbed hold of his hair and wrung it out before stepping out of the shower. "That's rather fascinating Anthony, I didn't know that." Tony after a few moments more in the shower stepped out, Loki was in the process of drying off at the moment.

"You're a God, couldn't you just snap your fingers or something."

"I like to do some things Anthony." Loki said wiping his leg off. "I have to be able to do some things right? Even on Asgard I chose what I did on my own." Tony nodded.

"Nice. Anyways, I have a surprise for you."

"You told me."

"When did I tell you that?"

"When I woke you up, that's when." Loki laughed, Tony had been rather adorable when he had woken up.

"Oh. Well I do. You gotta dress how I tell you to alright?"

"Alright." Loki poised his fingers to snap them.

"You need a button down, black slacks, black shoes, and pull your hair back a little bit." Loki's fingers snapped and he was dressed, his hair was dry and tied into a neat pony-tail. "Very nice."

"Thank you dear, I do try." Loki said walking out into the living room on his own. Tony quickly shut the door and got dressed, before he left the bedroom he reached into his dresser and pulled a small box from it, slipping it into his pocket.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked adjusting his suit tie.

"Yes, but do I need to wear a coat? You're wearing one."

"If you want to." Tony said nervously putting his hands in his pockets, Loki shrugged his shoulders and stood up.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see, I'm going to blindfold you though. You're not allowed to see." Loki walked over and bent his knees a small bit to be equal with Tony.

"Alright." Tony took off his tie, why he put it on he didn't know, and wrapped it around Loki's eyes. The Jotun stood up and fidgeted with it. Tony slightly slapped his hand.

"No touching or I will handcuff you."

"Oh goodness this must be gravely serious."

"It is, I'm going to grab your arm and lead you now. Trust me?"

"Yes." Loki gave Tony his arm and the two of them made their way slowly to the elevator. Loki would stumble but Tony never let go of his arm.

Once they were at the garage, he led Loki to the passenger seat of his car. Loki sat down haughtily, he loved looked outside the car windows. One time he brought his finger tip to his face to scratch a spot and Tony grabbed it.

"No peeking."

"I was scratching my face Anthony!" Loki said looking at him from underneath the blind. "I don't like not being able to see what's around me, I feel vulnerable right now."

"It was that or put you in the backseat and tint all the windows and make it so you can't even see me in the front seat. Would you rather I did that?"

"No I wouldn't. But why is it necessary?"

"You'll see!" Tony cried. "We're hear anyway." He had driven around the tower once and drove into the garage again. He'd made sure to keep JARVIS from saying anything when he returned. He quickly ran around to the other side of the car and helped Loki out.

Up they went to the very top of Stark Tower. Tony had a whole thing set up, not like roses or anything of that matter but he had ordered food and everything for it, there was a table a few feet away from them. He set Loki in the spot he figured was perfect before pulling the box from his pocket and dropping to his knee.

"Alright close your eyes, but take off the blindfold." Loki complied and with eyes shut tight, pulled off his blindfold.

"When can I open up my eyes?" Loki asked as Tony softly opened the box.

"Now." Tony looked up at Loki, he blinked with the light and his head spun around a couple times before he looked down at Tony. Instantly his hands went to his face and tears filled his eyes.

"Loki Laufeyson, will you marry me?"
