<br/>“of course I’ll go on a ride with you.” Tony agreed, walking with Steph. He looked tired and had starbucks in one hand and a cake pop from Loki in the other. “no. I haven’t heard from her… she’s been… distant lately..” Tony admitted. “I think I’ve upset her but I don’t know what I did. I really thought I was doing really great this time. I remembered her birthday and our anniversary and I got her gifts that SHE wanted this time.” sometimes Tony forgot and got her things that he wanted, but he had done really good this time! “I don’t think it has anything to do with the shopping. It annoys her but I think she just thinks that you don’t like her.” Tony admitted. “you guys just don’t speak the same code I guess.” he shrugged. “I honestly think I fucked up somehow and Pepper just doesn’t want to tell me I fucked up because she knows I was really trying this time…” he snorted at her. “I don’t think an iron man Fan disguise is going to help.” he teased. “everyone knows we’re best friends.” he pointed out with a chuckle as he drained the last of his coffee and tossed it into the trash on the way into the garage. “do you think Loki would be upset if I didn’t eat this?” he asked, examining the cake pop, looking around the Garage just to make sure Loki wasn’t actually there. She wasn’t, but Steph did get a text from Loki at almost that exact second asking her to join him so she wouldn’t be alone when she finally told Thor she was pregnant. He was due back at the tower at some point today and Loki was kind of freaking out about it. Not because she felt Thor was any kind of danger, but because Thor would have no choice but to tell Odin and Loki was going to have to tell Thor about what Odin had done to Thor's OTHER nieces and nephews and the stress really wasn’t very good for Loki’s health.
