Tony's POV

We were standing next to each other. Two teams. Team Captain America and team Iron Man. The atmosphere was tensed up. We were ready to fight...

'Never, just never… Never argue with the team, especially with Captain. Don't think this is your last fight. This is only the beginning. And if you split out, you'll have to face the consequences you wouldn't like to see...'

Loki's words were echoing in my mind. How did he know this is going to happen? He wouldn't say that for nothing, he made me pay so much attention at his words...

As you could guess, I hadn't forgot Loki, I couldn't... And I still remember his last look, when they left with Thor, I think about it every night. He was trying to keep in mind every part of that moment, I knew it wasn't just a fling or something, he had real, most real feelings for me. It still hurts when I recall his eyes, full of sorrow and pain... I'm not sure, if we would meet again but I'm sure he didn't forget me... He probably thinks I moved on... How could I? I guess my feelings for him got even stronger...

I decided to listen to Loki's words. He literally put our team, or, better say, family together. He knows what he says.

"I'm not gonna fight you, Cap.", I said taking off my helmet, "You're my friend. We can solve this problem like the family we've become after all these years of working and living together."

"Tony, what the-", Rhodey tried to stop me from moving closer to the opposite side.

"I know what I'm doing, don't worry.", I turned to Steve then, "Let's talk this out."

We came to the solution, fortunately. We all signed the document Ross gave us. Sergeant Barnes was going to be taken to Wakanda and having a therapy but we hide it from everyone (we made it look like he died). By the way, James's told me about my parents and apologized for million times, I've been really angry at him but then I've admitted it wasn't his fault. Well, that still doesn't change my cold attitude to him... We had other problems too but from day to day we were getting better at solving them.

At least, we didn't split up, I kept my promise to Loki... Until...

"So, do you have any plan? Any thoughts?", I asked the Guardians of the galaxy.

"Actually, we can do «dance off, bro» one.", Drax guy said.

"What is «dance off, bro»?", Parker wondered.

"I don't think «dance off, bro» is gonna work this time", Quill said thoughtfully.

"Okay, I am the one who always makes plans, I just need a few minutes to think.", Steve claimed.

"Steve, you don't have to do this alone. Tell us, what's on your mind?", Nat asked softly.

"Don't panic, don't panic, guys, we got this!", I said.

"Actually you're the one who's panicing...?", Quill blurted out.

As you can understand, me, Peter, Natasha and Cap are stuck on Titan with these damb guys, who call themselves «Guardians of the galaxy». Thanos, the guy who sent Loki in 2012, was about to arrive. I'm going to make him pay for everything he's done and was going to do. First of all, he tortured my platonic love and made him do these disgusting things, second of all, he wants to wipe out the half of the Universe. True psychopath. We were in desperate need of help, or at least plan because we were like a bunch of idiots who got stuck on a planet by mistake and were going to fight world's most dangerous creature... Great, just great...

Suddenly I felt like someone was creeping on us. I turned around and saw a figure leaning on the cliff and playing with knives. His face was bruised, he didn't look good, like he was from war...

Wait...

Loki?

Am I hallucinating?

"I think someone is in the desperate need of help?", the guy said smirking, still playing with knives.

I couldn't believe. It was him. It was definitely Loki. I would recognise this sexy voice among billion ones... I can't believe, I met him, I MET HIM FINALLY!

Everyone turned to face Loki.

"Loki?", Steve asked squinting to see him better.

Trickster walked towards us, or towards me, to be totally honest. He was smiling, his walk was joyful, which made me smile too.

"I see you changed your stile a bit, huh, Stark?"

"I noticed your Asgardian Gucci outfit, too, tall bastard.", I said with a grin moving closer to him.

"Gucci? What is Gucci?", oh God, he was adorable.

The others were just standing, trying to understand what was going on.

"Never mind, I mean, you look expensive,", I noticed playfully touching leather fabric of his t-shirt.

"I am expensive!", he exclaimed rising his eyebrows.

"What's going on here?", Starlord asked.

"Are the gays?", Drax whispered.

"What is gays?", Mantis mattered looking at Drax.

We were standing so close and just smiling. His eyes were full of happiness and joy. I decided to make the first move because he perhaps thought I don't have feelings for him anymore. My heart was pounding and I certainly didn't care about what was going on behind my back...

I hugged Loki's neck, not too tight, so I wouldn't hurt his already injured skin. Loki was caught off guard by this move but he immediately wrapped his arms around my back. I felt his coldness, his charming smell, his heartbeat... I was trying to hold back tears, after all these years we reunited... My dreams came true...

"I asked you to move on... Tony.", Loki said after breaking the hug.

"You damn right knew I wouldn't...", I said looking deeply in his beautiful eyes, they were shining, he had tears just like me.

He smiled at my words and chuckled then. We walked to the team to explain everything.

"What the hell, Tony?", Nat asked.

"This is a long story but... We had a platonic love for years now. We're together. That's the only thing you need to know.", Tony said.

"Oh my God, Mr. Stark, your boyfriend is a God?! That's awesome!", Peter said excitedly.

"Actually, I need to tell you a lot of things about Thanos...", Loki muttered coldly.

"Firstly Nat and Bucky, now you and Loki... What else do you hide?", Steve for sure wasn't okay with these events. I felt bad for him, honestly. He didn't have a soulmate, Peggy died two years ago, he was alone...

"Guys... We have more important things to talk about.", Loki repeated.

"How do we know we can trust you?", Nat asked crossing her arms on the chest.

"Because I came here to help you... I promised... To one tiny person... That I'll be good... Well, i'm not saint, for sure, I'm just trying to be mischievous but not evil.", Loki claimed looking at me. I took his hand into mine.

"Tall bastard...", I whispered.

"So, tell us, why do you look like you're back from dead and what do you know about Thanos.", Steve asked.

"Well, firstly Thor thinks I'm dead because I was dead, Thanos choked me a few hours ago", our faces were turning into shocked ones, while trickster was calmly telling us, how he died and came back to life, "... so Cap Marvel found me and took me on the planet where I was resurrected. I asked her to leave me here. And about Thanos... He was torturing me, Gamora and Nebula... He made us do terrible crimes and one of them was my visit to Earth. He's off his rocker, he's mad and I think we need to put SO much affort to stop him..."

***

We made a plan, finally. Loki guided us very well. He helped a lot. Now we were just waiting for the Mad Titan to come.

Loki and I were sitting on the rock, looking at the stars. We didn't know where to start talking about, so we were just sitting there in awkward silence holding hands.

"What were you doing these years? Maybe something big had happened in your life. I told you about my adventures recently, now it's your turn.", Loki decided to start.

"We almost killed our own planet by making Ultron, the robot which we lost control over. Then we almost killed each other because all the countries wanted to put a ban on us due to obvious reasons. But I remembered your words and stopped myself in the right moment, so we didn't split up. Thank you for warning me, by the way. You're amazing."

"You're welcome. I know you have a lot of questions but I just predicted that Thanos wouldn't leave you alone after my failure and decided to warn you. That's it. Nothing magical."

"You know... I was dreaming about our reunion... Every day I was recalling your face, your voice, your eyes... I hope we'll never have to say goodbye since Asgard is gone."

"Oh, Anthony... The only reason I didn't go mad at the prison was you. I could give everything for this moment... Me holding your hands, looking in your beautiful hazel eyes... It's priceless... You know, when Thanos was choking me and I thought those were my last seconds there were two things I regretted. Firstly, I haven't fixed my relationship with Thor, secondly, I haven't met you... That's why I fought... And i'm glad I didn't give up...", Loki was tearing up. His voice was cracked a little but it still sounded beautiful.

I moved my palm to the bruises on Loki's face and neck slowly caressing them with my fingers, not to hurt him, "I'm sorry you went through all of this."

Loki cupped my face smiling, "It doesn't matter... I have you now..."

"And I have you...", I gave Loki passionate kiss, I was waiting for this for years... We were waiting for this for years... We deserved this...

We won that battle that day but it's another story...

Our story hasn't ended yet but I can proudly say, we reached our goals and kept our promises...

Loki and Thor were living on Earth now. Me and Loki are officially dating. People on Earth didn't want him here but when everyone learned that Loki was the one, who did the biggest part of saving the Universe, they didn't touch him anymore. Loki became an Avenger and fixed broken things between him and Thor. I forgave Bucky and let him be a part of us too. Our team was much more friendlier now... At short, we were happy...

A/N: This turned out cringy and awkward, I didn't want it to be like this but anyway hope you liked it.)))
