Tony knew Loki liked it when he referred to them as mates. Even if Loki wasn’t chasing away anyone who so much as tried to touch him anymore, Tony knew the instincts were still there, permanent now. And Tony had honestly come to embrace the idea, not only did their marks make their more intimate moments fantastic, but he was coming to realize that this type of relationship meant Loki would never leave him, that he didn’t need to worry about his heart getting broken by the man. Tony paused at the question, biting his lip as he thought of how to answer. “Well first off, you’re my lover, you deserve to get spoiled with the best from time to time.” He said lightly, grinning. “Not that Steve and Bruce aren’t great cooks.” He added. “And it’s a bit of an apology for having to leave you alone for the past few days.” Then he fell silent for a moment, thinking again. Slowly, he took Loki’s hand, and held it, looking at the way their fingers fit together. “And I know……I know something’s wrong….” He continued softly. “You don’t want to talk about it, I get that. But I wanted to remind you that I’m still here for you…..I still love you…”

"Are you not spoil I g me with some of the changes you are making to the mansion?" Loki laughed shaking his head. He did truly appreciate that Tony wanted to spoil him. He shook his head more when Tony said it was also an apology for leaving him alone the past few days. "You do not have to apologize for that Tony, I understand that it comes with running a business. I just wish I could help more." loki sighed. He watched Tony as the man remained silent for a moment thinking and smiled when the man took his hand. When the man said that he knew Loki froze in fear for a moment before Tony clarified. "I know your here Tony and I'm sorry that I can't say anything yet..." Loki apologized. "I love you tony and as soon as I can I will tell you." he continued.

Tony smiled slightly at Loki’s question. He knew he was indeed spoiling Loki with some of what he was doing, but he was also trying to make a home for the god. Tony shook his head slightly when Loki said he wished he could help. If Tony didn’t even want to do it, he sure wasn’t going to make Loki do it. Not to mention the fact that Loki helping him with Stark Industries would probably end up with Tony being horribly distracted and not getting any work done anyway. Taking a deep breath at Loki’s words, Tony nodded slightly. It hurt a little to know Loki was still refusing to tell him, might never tell him at this rate, considering the fact that Tony had been an open book ever since Loki had helped him clear his mind and seen so many of his secret memories. But he also couldn’t complain. Tony was such a secretive and paranoid person in general, it would make sense that he’d fall for someone with those same traits. Kissing the back of his hand, Tony gave him a ghost of a smile. “I know, and I’m not going to push, you don’t have to worry.” He said softly before nodding to their food. “Now eat. I didn’t go through all of that trouble for nothing.”

Loki felt guilt when he saw the hurt in Tony when he still didn't tell him his secret. He wanted to so badly but he was terrified of what it would being. He knew at the very least the man would be angry because of how long he had hidden it now. When Tony said that he wasn't going to push him so he didn't have to worry loki nodded but he still worried. Giving hid own ghost of. A smile he ate as Tony instructed. the food was delicious and loki throughly enjoyed it praying he wouldn't be sick later that night. He didn't want to waste the food.

Tony filled the meal with chatter, deciding that his ‘gift of gab’, as Pepper had called it, would be of use now. Not once did he so much as hint at the conversation they’d just had. He continued to complain about his meetings during the day and then switched to pestering Loki with questions about some runes he’d read about in one of the gods books and trying to figure out if he could try and use them to strengthen the metal of his suits. He didn’t start to run out of things to say until they were eating dessert, which was okay as he was intent on enjoying it and seeing Loki’s reaction. Halfway through he began to squirm, some excitement showing in his eyes, but he didn’t say anything, not wanting to rush their dinner.

Loki relaxed as the meal continued and Tony filled the silence by complaining about work. He answered what he could about the runes. He was glad the man had taken to at least looking at his magical abilities. Desert seemed like heaven to the god, he loved the cheesecake. "What is wrong with you?" Loki teased when he noticed Tony squirming in excitement.

Tony was glad that Loki relaxed through the meal, thanking whatever had given him the ability to chatter nonstop. Loki’s enjoyment of the cheesecake only made Tony more satisfied that the night would end up being a success. Smiling at the teasing, Tony let out a little hum. “I have something for you…..I’m just waiting for you to be ready to see it.” He said lightly.

Loki looked confused and surprised when Tony said that he had something for him. Finishing g up his last bite of cheesecake he titled his head. "Well?" he questioned.

Tony chuckled as Loki ate his last bite and gave him an expectant look. Grinning, Tony bounced out of his seat and pulled Loki up as well. Heading for the elevator, he took them down to Bruce and Steve’s floor. The super-soldier had agreed to let Loki house his little surprise for a bit while Tony waited for the right moment. The man was now out in the common area, eating dinner with the other Avengers, so they had a bit of privacy slipping into the apartment which looked like it came right out of the 1940s, he made Loki stop just inside. “Hold on. Stay right there and close your eyes.” He instructed, waiting to make sure Loki followed his instructions before hurrying off to another room. Muttering to himself and making a bit of noise, he finally came back and stood in front of Loki. “Alright, open your eyes.” He said. As Loki did, he held out a small black kitten with piercing green eyes who looked up at the god curiously.

Loki gave a soft cry of surprise when Tony pulled him up out of the seat and around the house. He grew a bit confused as Tony dragged him down to Bruce and Steve's floor. He stopped where Tony wanted him to and looked around Steve's room with awe. Closing his eyes with an indulgent smile he listened for the man as he moved away. Opening his eyes the smile faded to leave surprise and awe. "Tony..." he gasped moving to take the kitten. He held the kitten close looking her over. "She's beautiful." he murmured.

Tony grew nervous for a moment when he saw the smile fade, but he let Loki take the kitten and watched. Smiling as it became clear that Loki liked the kitten, Tony tucked his hands into his pockets and tilted his head. “I’m glad you like her.” He said lightly. “Ever since Asgard I’ve thought about getting you a pet. And between you acting like a cat and our lifestyle, I figured a cat would be best…..” he explained. Not to mention he hoped the kitten would help Loki with whatever stress or anxiety he was having. Slowly pulling a green and gold collar from his pocket attached to a small bell, he carefully put it on the kitten. "And she reminded me of you." he smirked, scratching her ear until she batted his fingers away. “You have to name her now.”

"I love her." Loki gushed as he pet the kitten familiarizing himself with her. "it's wonderful Tony, thank you." he spoke but barely knew what to say. He had always wanted a pet but never been allowed one, he had all given up on it when he had children and now Tony had gifted him this wonderful thing. He examined the collar and bell Tony put on her with a soft laugh. His favorite colors, it was perfect. Looking to Tony as he said he had to name her he looked back to the kitten. "Mischief... her name will be Mischief." Loki said softly.

Tony smiled softly at Loki’s words. It was nice to know he’d done something good for his mate. “Mischief.” He tested the name, watching as the kitten swatted at Loki’s hand in play. “I have a feeling that will suit her far more than it should.” He chuckled. Leaning forward, he gave Loki a quick peck on the lips before he went to go retrieve the few bags of things he’d bought for the kitten. “I have one rule though. She does not go in the labs unless you are fully aware of her and watching her the whole time. There are too many things that could fall apart or blow up in there.” He called over his shoulder, coming back a few moments later with several bags and leading Loki back out of Steve’s apartment.

Loki nodded when Tony stated that he thought Mischief would suit the kitten all too well. "I will not let her come to any harm. I will find a spell to make sure of it but you should know that cats listen to no one." Loki chuckled Nuzzling the kitten. He followed Tony out of steve's apartment and back to their own. Loki set mischief down in their room once they arrived before moving to through the bags of things Tony had brought with him. He looked quite excited and happy as he looked over everything.

Tony could only smirk at Loki’s words. Setting the bags down, he left to change out of his dress clothes, changing into his customary sweats and t-shirt before sitting cross legged in a chair, watching Loki silently, a smile tugging at his lips as the god explored the food, treats, toys and various other things Tony had bought, the kitten seeming much more interested in the plastic bags than anything at the moment. He would almost be jealous of the kitten for the amount of attention he was getting from the god, but it was the happiest he’d seen Loki in a while, all of the worry and strain seeming to have left him for the moment.
