Tony tilted his head as Loki continued to speak, a small smile still stretched over his lips. Eyes softening at the confession from Loki, Tony shook his head. “I don’t need anything from you Loki. Really.” Tony murmured. “You clearly don’t understand just how important you choosing to stay by me is. It is the greatest gift you can give me.” He continued, laying soft kisses over Loki’s face. “In all of my life there have only been two people that have ever cared about me, ever decided to really stay by me. The original Jarvis and Rhodey. Jarvis still left in the end, and Rhodey betrayed me, though I pushed him to it. My whole life, I never thought I’d find someone who would want me, for me and nothing more, someone who could actually love me, because I don’t deserve it.” He said softly. “And yet here you are, more than I deserve, more than I could ever dream of or wish for. And you don’t have any ulterior motives, not my money, not my name, not my inventions, just me. That means the world to me.”

Tony gave a small shrug at the question. “He had done a lot for my father, sacrificed a lot, put up with him for years…..I think my father asked something of him and Jarvis wouldn’t take it anymore. I don’t know what it was, they were arguing for a few days. Then the next thing I knew, I found him packing. He told me to be a good boy and left. Never saw or heard from him again. A few months later I was sent off to boarding school so my parents wouldn’t have to waste time looking after me.” Tony replied. Though the memory was bad, his voice was just empty, stating it like one would state facts. Loki promising to stay with him had Tony smiling again. “And I love you for that. I’ll never be able to thank you enough for it.” He said softly, pulling the god into another kiss, he slipped his hands up Loki’s thighs, trying to move past this topic and the memories that came with it.

Tony was actually relieved to escape the media backlash. He’d dealt with such things too many times in his life. He wouldn’t care if it was just him, but it would include Loki this time. Between the god’s insecurities and Tony’s protectiveness, the genius didn’t doubt that he would have done something stupid.
Thankfully Loki didn’t seem to mind the news ban and even seemed to enjoy Tony’s yacht. The ship had a small crew, a captain, four ship hands, and two cooks. They all were polite and professional, and all seemed to enjoy their job, largely because Tony let them use the yacht if he wasn’t using it, so they couldn’t complain. The room Tony and Loki stayed in was luxurious, large and had three of the walls covered in windows, as well as one with sliding doors to the private sun deck they spent much of the time on. Tony was happy and relaxed, usually walking about in shorts and a tank top, reluctant to reveal his reactor as always. He did struggle to stop and turn off sometimes, but he worked through it with Loki, either by distraction, or compromise since he couldn’t get to his lab.
When he returned from talking to captain about their route, Tony was carrying a tray from the kitchen. Setting it on the table beside Loki, he paused, leaning down to kiss his mate before taking the cold beer from the tray and moving to lean against the railing, soaking in the sun. “Has Jor responded somehow? I warned the crew that they may see something…..unsettling” he said slowly, sipping on his drink as he looked over his mate, smiling slightly at the sight of the man, looking for all the world like a famous model enjoying the luxury.

Tony gave Loki a soft look at his words. “I’m sure that’s not the case Lo. If Hela and Sleipnir are any indication, he’ll be happy to see you…..but the oceans are huge…..depending on your magic, it could take some time for him to even hear you.” He said slowly, arm wrapping around Loki as he joined him. Looking out at the oceans, he gave a content sigh, oddly okay with being removed from the action. “We should do this every year. Get away, just the two of us and sail.” He mumbled. “You certainly seem to be adjusting to the life at sea well.” He added teasingly, hand rubbing the small of his back. Even though Tony enjoyed cruising and had owned this yacht forever, he had rarely used it, perhaps he had an excuse now.
