“No. I need you,” Tony says quickly, drawing more pointed attention than he had meant to. “Your expertise. No one else knows what they’re looking at.” He makes sure not to look directly at Loki after than.
The truth is that he probably does need the other. His presence is chaotic and soothing, a juxtaposition that only makes sense in physics. Their irregularities fit together like puzzle pieces, anticipating each sharp line and curve to hug one another.
Tony appreciates the stability that Loki’s crazy brings to his own.
When they’re alone, Tony tenses slightly. He can only play act so much around the others.
He shifts his speech to Asgardian, his words measured but clunky. “Did it, tried to kill me, they.” He needs help on the syntax. “It all matches. Come. Close to me. Watching are they. Embrace me for snow.“
Let SHIELD think Tony is being smitten. And let Loki think Tony is doing it all for show. It works out both ways.
