Loki felt someone grasp him tightly and start sobbing into his shoulder. Loki's eyes fluttered open, and seeing the short brown hair on the head of the person hugging him, he immediately knew who it was.

Tony.

Loki started sobbing, though it took a lot of energy and he could barely do anything else.

"Oh shit Loki, holy hell. You, you were dead! I saw it happen! But Jesus. How, How Loki? And why?"

Loki's entire body shook, he was trembling. He managed to slip out a weak, "I love you, Stark."

Tony pulled away and looked at Loki with misty eyes, before pulling him into a kiss.
Loki didn't join in like he normally would. He just closed his eyes and accepted it, tears escaping his eyes.
Tony rubbed the back of Loki's head while he did it.
Loki kept his eyes closed and his mouth in the same position when Tony pulled away.

"Loki?"

Loki opened his eyes. It was stark who had spoken. Loki looked at Tony blankly, his face still wet.
"I think he might just need some rest." Loki heard someone say.
"Should we bring him to the hospital?"
"I am not taking him there again! He's presumed dead right now! Thor, how did you even resurrect him?"
"I traveled to Helheim, rescued him."

Loki felt his eyes start to droop.

"Wait, no Loki stay awake.... please?" It was Tony's voice. It rang out through Loki's head.

"Loki, no no no stay........"

Stay...awake........

***

Loki woke up in a familiar place; a large room that was made up of gold or brown colors, there was a large fireplace in the center with a small fire and around the fireplace were chairs and sofas. Loki was laying on one, and next to him was Tony. Thor was sitting in one of the chairs and- to Loki's surprise- lady Sif was sitting on a sofa across from him. She had a calm look on her face, and almost smiling at Loki.

Loki, at this point, had gained enough strength to move, talk, and at least keep his eyes open. He rubbed the back of his head and huffed.
"So we're in Asgard, I'm assuming."

"Yes, brother."

"So, Loki, you were in Helheim, yet somehow you got back here. Do you remember that realm- at all?" Sif was the one speaking.

Loki thought about it, yet he didn't really remember much about Helheim. Just, fog. And Tony. He remembered hugging Tony. But other than that, he really didn't remember anything. So he told her exactly that. What he remembered from Hel.

"Ah, Okay. That's all I really needed to know. Do you mind if I stay here for now? There's nothing to fight currently.."

"Sure, I don't see why not." Tony said.

Loki rubbed his face and asked with a groan "how long was I asleep?"

Tony wrapped his arm around Loki and said, "uhh, about three hours."

"Mmmphh"
