It's okay to be embarrassed.
[He can feel the irritation resonating from the responses. It doesn't take a genius or an AI to tell that much. And... he doesn't exactly feel surprised either.]
Oh? Was I supposed to tell you I was here?

That's a pretty good pose for a candid. You want to come over and we'll start a set?
[Tony, that's mean. Even if it's Loki, he doesn't deserve that sort of treatment.]
Sorry. I mean what I said about the candid shot.
[There. Totally fixed that situation.]
I know some things about magic, you know. I can tell when it's being used on me or around me, and I know that it has limits, and I know what it's not.
[Yes, he is probably counting those points off on his fingers as he lists them. He definitely does not know that much about magic, but it's fun to sound confident. Especially when he's putting on at act for a god.]
You do blowjob magic? What happens when you get them off? Can you show me?
[It's hard to tell how serious Tony is at this moment. He might still be teasing Loki, but his tone has picked up and he's started to sound actually invested. Or maybe he's trying to call his bluff?]
And assume away.

[ He really should just cut the conversation right here and now. He doesn't need to mess things up any further and he's perfectly happy keeping his life as Peter Parker very far away from Tony. And yet. ]
No, that was obviously an attempt to steer this not at all awkward conversation away from how not embarrassed I am.
I can see it worked great.

[There's a tight ache in his chest. He really liked this man; admired him in a way. Although the exact reasons are hard to place and he doesn't think that matters very much now, especially while they are here. But it hurts to feel that disappointment. And... disgust? Maybe. Maybe something else.]
You don't have anything to be embarrassed about.

Really? Because I had pineapple on pizza just the other day. Not as bad as you'd think.
[ It takes him a couple more minutes before he sends another message ]
Do you actually know who I am?
[ It takes him a couple more minutes before he sends another message ]

[What a strange response. Comfortable. He doesn't know what to make of that. Or the next one that comes after Tony figures Peter has moved on.]
Peter Parker? I'd like to think so.
You worked with me for a while.
[What does that even mean? He doesn't know. It's just an answer that comes on its own.]
Peter Parker? I'd like to think so.

[What does that even mean? He doesn't know. It's just an answer that comes on its own.]
I know. But I'm always willing to make the exception, Steve.
[The sound Herbert makes is a rewarding start. He can feel him pause and shift, as if he's trying to find the right position and motions. He's not experienced, or if he is, it's not with a man and he's second guessing himself. Tony can understand that much. Coming onto him like this was probably a surprise. As pleasant as Herbert has been, he's never seemed very open toward others and not sexual at all. Tony thinks he might be scaring his new partner-to-be, but when he finally asks his question, Herbert does seem interested.
Just experience, then. He can work with that.]
Would you say yes if I said now? Another kiss?
[He leans in so the words brush Herbert's lips when he speaks.]
If you want to, you can keep your eyes open.

Right, let's pause here for a moment. You're proposing that I get up, and I leave my bed, here, in the middle of the night. I go out into the cold. I find wherever it is that you've taken up residence, presuming that here it's not an enormous tower with your name on it. Just so that I can suck your cock. Just so I'm aware, between the two of us, which is the narcissist here?
[ This is ridiculous. What's infinitely more ridiculous is that..he's dwelling on it, now, for far longer than strictly necessary. Loki looks up at the ceiling, and thinks about ending this, now, before he does something ill-advised, but–curiosity, the cat, etc. ]
Or you're working with something worthy of narcissism, which I highly doubt–if anyone is very clearly overcompensating for something, it's you. I mean, the aforementioned tower with your name on it does makes one wonder.

[ Somehow, he feels like going back to the embarrassing text might be better than this. ]
Yeah. A long time ago now.
[ And really, it was. So how come it still feels fresh? He's responsible for his own decisions. Out of everything that happened, the person Peter has been most disappointed by had been himself.
But Tony ... well. It's complicated. ]
How's this place treating you?
Yeah. A long time ago now.

I'll come find you after I get out of here, okay?

I'm holding you to that. You can't leave until we see each other. You promised.
Leave where, the city? Pretty sure I couldn't anyway.
Damn it, Steve.
Why can't you let me be cool for once?
Why can't you let me be cool for once?
You try to be cool next to Captain America. It's impossible.
Yeah? You want me to make a poll? I bet we could ask everyone in this city and they'd prove you wrong unanimously.
Uh-huh. Just make sure you come find me first, okay?
