Loki started laughing. Bruce watched the god laughing. He could see that was a real laugh.
Tony didn’t seem too amused, though he found the god’s laugh so charming. It was so light and happy. He pouted and got some water in a glass, splashing Loki.
“There, now we’re all even.” He stood a bit taller, pushing out his lower lip like a triumphant child.
Bruce’s eyes widened, and he stifled a laugh, watching what would happen.
Loki shook his head. "Far better than what I can say for you." Loki said.
Tony blinked puzzled but didn’t question the god. He shrugged and went into his room, pulling on some dry clothes.
Bruce shook his head then went and put on a dry shirt. “At least the food didn’t get wet.” He sat down and sipped his drink.
Loki continued to eat and try the new food before him. "We don't have things like this in Asgard." he said.
“Really?” Bruce looked at him curiously.
“What kind of food do you have?” Tony asked and popped a piece of chicken into his mouth.
"Goat, yak, cow, elk, rabbit, and fish.”
Tony’s eyes widened. “You’ve eaten rabbits?”
“Oh Tony.” Bruce sighed heavily and buried his face in his hands. The playboy had an odd soft spot for small animals.
"You eat what you must to survive. Eat the rabbit or starve." he said.
Tony shook his head and shuddered. “I couldn’t do it.”
Bruce shook his head and finished his lunch when he got a text. “Oh, I have to go.” He wiped his lips and stood.
“Work?”
“Yeah. I’ll see you guys in a few days.”
"Good bye Doctor." Loki said.
Bruce packed a few things then headed out.
It was silent for a moment then Tony started putting some of the food away. “He probably got called to India again. He likes going there for some reason.” Tony shrugged and put the food in the fridge. Really the man just like being anywhere but the US.
Loki nodded. "I'm done eating for the night." he said.
Tony nodded and finished putting away the rest of the food then checked his tablet again.
“Sir, I’ve finished plotting out the basic framework of the security system. It just needs your finishing touches now.”
“All right. Hey listen, if you need anything I’ll be down in the lab. Jarvis, go ahead and give Loki permits downstairs.”
“Very well Sir. Granting permits to lab and garage.”
Loki looked at him. "Thank you." he said.
Tony looked back and smiled, shrugging. “I trust you. Just don’t touch my red car.” He went down to the lab and brought up a few screens. “Okay, let’s get this done.”
Loki nodded and cleaned up the food before heading off to his room.
Tony worked through the night, adding and changing features to the system and testing it over and over again. He would go back upstairs a few times for coffee, but didn’t leave his lab otherwise.
“Jarvis, hack it.”
“Of course Sir.” The AI began trying to hack the system, though Tony was confident it would take a good long while. The playboy ran his hands over his face and yawned then shook his head.
“Might I suggest a nap Sir?”
“Nah I’m fine.”
"Please go take a nap Sir. This is going to take a while." Jarvis said.
Tony sat there for a while then stood and went back upstairs. He’d just take a quick nap on the couch.
“Wake me up as soon as you’re done.”
“Of course Sir.”
Tony lay down on the couch and closed his eyes, falling asleep almost instantly.
Jarvis woke him up at ten the next morning when he finally managed to crack it. Loki was in the kitchen fixing breakfast for the two of them.
Tony couldn’t believe he’d slept so long. What was that, close to thirteen hours? He stretched, feeling refreshed as he got up. He yawned and walked towards the kitchen when he smelled food.
“I smell food.”
"That's because I'm cooking it." Loki said. "Today it's pancakes or flapjacks." Loki replied.
Tony blinked; it certainly smelled good. He thought for a moment. “I want pancakes, with chocolate chips.” He grinned a bit and pulled out a bag of chocolate chips.
"Too bad there's no more batter and I'm not making any more so you'll eat them as I've made them." Loki smiled.
Tony looked at the god both shocked and disappointed. He frowned but didn’t argue. He grabbed some pancakes and took a bite out of one angrily but then his eyes widened.
“Oh my God, these are delicious.”
"Sugar goes a very long way." Loki said.
Tony hummed in his throat, taking another large bite of his pancakes. He sat at the island then got up again to get some coffee.
Loki tucked into his own plate and started to enjoy the breakfast he'd made.
Tony sipped his coffee and ate his pancakes happily. “How’d you learn to make these so good?”
Loki shrugged. "Trial and error."
Tony looked at the god curiously. “When?”
“It was mostly while you were stuck down in your lab Sir.” Jarvis replied. Tony lost track of time so easily when he was working.
Loki tucked into his plate and smiled as he settled in for the meal.
Tony shrugged and kept eating. The pancakes were delicious. He sipped his coffee every so often.
"I cooked you can clean up this time." Loki smiled at him.
“That’s low.” Tony narrowed his eyes at the god but started cleaning up when they’d finished eating.
“I believe the system is ready for delivery Sir.”
“Good. Go ahead and email it.”
“Of course Sir. Shall I also attach your usual features?”
“Yep.” Tony always made sure to add something of a small firewall that would allow Jarvis to access software he made without having to hack it.
"Low is cleaning up a food fight your brother and his friends started but having the blame on you."
“I never had siblings; wouldn’t know what that’s like.” Toy shrugged a bit and started washing the dishes. He finished up and looked at Loki. “I was always alone.”
"I always wanted to be alone." Loki side. "I liked being alone."
“It’s nice sometimes. You can do and say whatever you want and there’s nobody there to bother you about it. Then you get lonely.” Tony said with a bit of a sigh. For as much as he loved having the space to be able think and let his mad genius run free, he also missed having someone to talk to.
Loki shrugged. "I see how it would be that way when you have always been alone."
Tony looked at Loki curiously. “I don’t think I was made to be around people. They don’t make sense really.” He shrugged. He loved to socialize, but most of the time he was just watching the way the rest of the world acted around him.
Loki shrugged. "Not everyone is meant to be around people."
Tony chuckled a bit and nodded. “I learned that the hard way. Bruce is nice though.” He reached for his coffee and finished it up, sighing.
“Jarvis, what’s the weather like today?”
“It will be a bit warm, though it will be raining most of the day Sir.”
Loki nodded. "Well I'll be in my room if you need me."
Tony watched the god go back to his room then looked away. He stared out the window for a moment then pulled out his phone.
“Hunting for another date, Sir?”
“Yep.” Tony picked a random number from his contact list.
Loki got into his room and took off his clothes until he was in his underwear. He slowly began stretching and working out all the knots and kinks from his body.
Tony went to his room and bathed, cleaning up a bit before getting dressed. Might as well look nice before a date, even if it would end with him naked. He checked his phone and smirked a bit at the text.
"Mr. Laufeyson, Mr. Stark is going to be having company again." Jarvis informed.
Tony drank some water and checked a few things on his phone. Fury had replied; seemed he liked the security system.
Loki came out a few minutes later to get a few things and then back to his room to tune out anything.
Tony put his phone on the island and looked at the god. “Oh hey, if you hear screaming from my room, don’t worry about it.” He grinned, though his eyes traveled Loki’s figure slowly.
Loki ignored him altogether.
Tony scoffed bit and rolled his eyes then walked to the door when his guest arrived. Andrea, that’s what her name was. He remembered because she had a tramp stamp of it, though he couldn’t understand why. He let the model in and charmed her with a few jokes and a drink.
“Is Miss Potts not in the picture?”
“No, we snapped a long time ago.” He gave a little smile.
