For once Loki was aware of where he was when he woke up, the arm wrapped around him was a good indication. It made the stress of Odin wash away like it was never there. It was pure bliss.

"Tony wake up!"

Well there goes the bliss. Loki looked towards the door; Pepper was standing there impatiently tapping her foot. She smiled at him, "Good morning Loki." Then she went to Tony's side and grabbed a pillow and smacked him hard with it. Loki was slightly irritated he had been disturbed, but the current situation was worth it.

Tony grunted and sat up. "Pep, as much as I love you; what the hell do you want?"

"What I want? You've got ten minutes to be dressed and downtown at a charity event."

Loki watched her walk out the room.

"Anthony?"

Tony blinked and jumped up to the bathroom and slammed the door. Loki could hear the shower running.

"Oh, you can go too Loki. Actually, could you go? I was supposed to attend but I've got work and otherwise, I just don't want to go."

Loki numbly nodded, a little confused on what was going on. He needed more time to wake up. "Sure, but I don't have any clothes."

She smiled, "No problem, I checked your size and bought you some the other day."

"Ms. Potts, you didn't have to-"

She shook her head, "If you're going to date him, you have to attend this crap instead of me. And it's Pepper. I'll set your clothes in the guest bedroom; you can get ready in there."

Loki nodded and got up; today should be interesting.

Tony cursed through his shower and quickly got dressed, he was late; there was no way around that. The whole event had slipped his mind. He stepped out of the bathroom and noticed Loki was gone. He hoped he didn't go home. He went to his dresser and pulled out some cologne.

"Damn, I thought I'd beaten you."

Tony turned around to see Loki dressed in all black with a deep green tie and undershirt. "When did you go shopping?" He wanted to drag his ass back to bed and have his way with him.

Loki smirked and walked over, "Pepper bought them for me, and you smell nice."

Tony took the moment to smell Loki's hair, "You smell like honey, and something else."

"Milk."

"What?"

"It's milk and honey."

"It's good."

Loki looked up at him and kissed him, Tony kissed back.

"Tony! Hurry up!"

Rolling his eyes Tony pulled away, "Come on, before she murders me with a hammer."

Loki wasn't used to such elegant places, or so many well-known people. Though he figured it'd be good practice for what was to come for him. He had a gathering to attend next week, he promised to take Natasha, but the next one he'd ask Tony.

Tony however looked like he'd done this a thousand times. Well of course he has you idiot.

"Just follow me; some of these guys are alright, but others? Complete assholes."

Loki laughed, "Good to know." He looked around as he recognized some people, he felt a little nauseous. There were way too many people here, people who were above him on so many levels. He needed to sit down before he threw up.

"Loki?"

He looked over at Tony who was holding two wine glasses, "You okay? You look ready to pass out."

"Y-yeah, it's just… A lot to take in. I've never been somewhere so… Elegant."

"Really? Even though your fathers a politician?"

Loki nodded, "Yeah, I never really tagged around with him."

"Well, look at it this way; you'll be one of these rich bastards soon enough." He had Loki do cheers with him.

"What does that make you?" Loki questioned raising an eyebrow.

"A rich bastard."

Loki laughed and took a drink.

"Ah, Mr. Odinson is it?"

Loki turned around to see a man smiling at him. He was wearing a good amount of cologne, a white suit and… Were those gold rings on every finger?

"Yes… May I ask who you are?"

"Thanos. I support the newly famous, I read your book; it was quite intriguing." He held out his hand and Loki shook it, "Thank you, I'm glad you liked it."

"Yes, a best seller by the end of the day, that's quite a feat for a new author."

Loki smiled, "Yes, it was shocking, oh where are my manners; I'm with Anthony Stark, I assume you know each other?"

Thanos nodded, "Of course, how are you Stark?"

Loki noticed Tony was hesitant, but shook his hand, "Well, as I assume you are?"

"Business is business."

Tony nodded, "Yes it is."

"So Mr. Odinson, keep me in mind will you? I can get you famous in the blink of an eye."

He handed Loki a card with his name on it and a simple number and headed off to another group, Loki watched him leave.

"Don't call that number by the way." Tony said from behind him.

Loki turned, "Why not?"

"Thanos is… A con artist of sorts."

"Be more specific."

Tony nodded and sat down at the bar, "For one he knows you're new to this, easily manipulated. Two, he does get people well-known, but for a price."

Loki rolled his eyes, "Well of course he wants money. I can imagine it's a manager type of position he's looking for."

"You're correct on that, but that guy has a different idea of payment."

"And that would be?"

"Loki, he's a pimp."

Loki almost laughed, but Tony's face was serious, "Really? I thought something like that was illegal?"

Tony nodded, "Of course, he's just never been caught. I had Jarvis dig up what he could, he's been involved with human trafficking and the like."

"Human trafficking?"

"In his early years starting out, seems he sticks to leeching on to newbies, sucking them into his "help" and wanting sex in return. I'm not surprised he decided to introduce himself to you."

"And why's that?"

"Well, if I saw someone as handsome as you; I'd want to fuck you."

Loki smirked and leaned into his ear, "You haven't fucked me yet."

"I'm working on it."

Without thinking they kissed.
