Chapter 27
Tony's POV
The scientist couldn't stop a slight grin from spreading across his features. He knew that Thor would probably be angry at him, but the whole situation was just ridiculous. And to be honest - nobody could blame him for not being super-kind to Loki. Actually, the only reason why he didn't throw Loki out of his tower immediately - was Thor. Since Thor had told him about Loki's and his - relationship, Tony was trying to form an opinion on this ship. Without success. The only thing he knew was that he didn't quite like it. Earlier, he'd thought Thor had been happy with Jane. Now it was Loki and in fact, it didn't make any difference. Only that his new partner had attacked New york a few months ago and was still present in Tony's nightmares, leading the alien army along. So yeah, actually Tony would have every right to throw the bastard out of his house. But honestly - how could anyone resist Thor's big, blue eyes, which, if he wanted to, made him look like a puppy who would start crying if you denied him any wish. So he had said yes. And there they were - probably cuddling and kissing in their "chambers" how Thor always called them. … When Tony shook his thoughts off, he noticed Bruce's look. For a reason the scientist couldn't imagine, the doctor was looking at him angrily. Tony raised both eyebrows.
Tony: "What? Not satisfied with my hospitality, doctor Banner?"
Bruce: "Tony - you know exactly what. Why are you playing this game again?"
Tony: "Which game? I'm not playing anything!"
Bruce: "You know Loki isn't well so - why not just treating him like any normal guest, who's in need of our help but making fun of him at any situation possible?"
Tony: " - I can tell you why. Firstly, because he's NOT just a normal guest but a criminal who should actually be thrown into prison and secondly - come on - you can't say it's not funny to test Rudolf's nerves a little."
Bruce: "It's not funny at all and I'd really be thankful if you-"
That was the moment when they heard the door of the kitchen opening. They both turned to face - Thor.
Tony: "Oh - hey goldilocks. 's everything okay with you two up there? You need anything?"
Thor stopped for a moment, looking them both down sceptically.
Thor: "Yes, everything alright, Stark. Loki's sleeping but I really can't wait with eating something. I'll bring him the food up when he's awake."
Tony exhaled relieved. So at least Loki's presence wouldn't ruin his dinner!
Tony: "Oh sure - "
Tony went over to his fridge, checking what he had in store. They could of course order something but he knew Thor wouldn't want to wait that long. And cooking? Tony knew he couldn't cook. Bruce had tried it once - but as the result wasn't satisfying for anyone, they'd ordered him to never do it again.
Tony: "What do ya want? Pizza? Pasta with - a sauce I can't recognize through the packaging? Rice with chicken? - Beer?"
Thor reflected for a moment.
Thor: "I guess - something of everything would be fine if you don't mind?"
Tony and Bruce both chuckled slightly and exchanged a questioning look, before Tony nodded satisfied. Yep, that was probably the smartest solution. They all knew how much Thor was able to eat - especially when he was hungry.
Tony: "Fine - then everyone of us gets what they like."
Tony quickly ripped open the packages and put the food into the microwave. When he noticed Thor was looking at him with curiosity in his eyes, he turned around.
Tony: "What's it, Pointbreak? Can't wait?"
Thor: "No it's just - how is this - device able to warm the meal like a fire does? Is this some kind of magic you Midgardians call - technology?"
Tony grinned while setting the alarm on his phone.
Tony: "N-nope, well - yeah kind of. Look - just picture it like this. The thing here can produce heat like a fire can. With the little advantage that you don't have to light one. I know how it works but - I don't think you'd get it."
Thor nodded, still looking at him with a curious and slightly confused expression. Tony gave him a smile. Thor was like a little child sometimes. Always curious and not satisfied until he got an answer. The confused look he always wore in such situations was just adorably cute. Tony motioned Thor to sit down and he and Bruce proceeded to get the plates and cutlery. Thor had stopped looking at them now and was instead looking through the kitchen. When Tony's alarm started beeping, Thor jumped up, searching for the source of the strange noise. Tony grinned and held his mobile phone up so Thor could see it.
Tony: "That's the sign that our dinner is ready!"
He went over to the microwave and took the meals out, laying them out on the table. Thor's face lit up into a smile when the delicious smell reached him. Tony grinned again.
Tony: "So - who of you wants what?"
