Tony blinked stupidly when she walked in and shook his head. “Jarv’s s a tattle tale.” Tony accused, assuming Jarvis had called her in instead of her seeking him out herself. “you… you need… shoes.” Tony decided, waving at Dum-E. “Go… go get the shoes buddy.” he commanded. He’d gotten new shoes just for when Steph came in without them so now she never had an excuse anymore… except that Dum-E was… well… dumb, and ended up shredding the shoes in the process of fetching them. “I ruin everything.” Tony slurred, staring miserably at the shredded shoes. “I can’t do anything right. I’m a horrible awful person.” he complained. “you should leave before I make you miserable too…” he tried to drain the bottle in his hand, only to realize that it was empty and snapped his fingers at Dum-E. “more.”<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Loki leaned into Johnny. “the bug is a little car Johnny. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t love it.” she assured him. “just because you love something, doesn’t mean you don’t need something else sometimes.” she pointed out before lifting an eyebrow at Johnny. “your being stupid.” she admitted. “one, Stephanie loves you, she doesn’t say it often because of trauma, I know I struggle to say it, but we both love you. We love each other.” she promised. “she’s in lust with Tony, we all know that, but if Tony is ultimately the one who makes her the happiest, would you really refuse her that? I understand the worry, I worry that one day you and she will realize I’m a fucked up little impostor and will leave me behind, but I understand that it’s an internal fear.” she admitted. “if she leaves us for Tony then we’ll cross that bridge when it happens but honestly, I don’t think they’d make each other happy and I think they might know that too. Sex, sure. They’re both very tactile and touch starved people, but emotions? Your the only person she really trusts with those.”
