Chapter Sixteen: Loki's POV
                          
After a few dances, the music went off. Loki and Tony stopped, looking up to the stage in front of the dance floor as the principal, Mr. Fury, went to the mike, "Alright, alright. Be quiet, it's time to announce our snow queen and king of the year. First off, the king." With that, everyone had waited with baited breath for who would be called. Mr. Fury finally went back to the mike, "And the winner of the 2015 Snow King is . . . Anthony Stark." 
                          
Loki looked to Tony and smiled clapping, "Way to go, buddy." 
                          
Tony just keep a straight face; one Loki had learned that he only used when he was in public and when he was center of attention. Loki looked worried for a second, and then watched as Tony walked to the stage. He heard some kids laugh and shout rude comments. Loki looked sad for the poor guy, after all of that's happened in a week and now this; he did not deserve this at all. Loki sighed and looked around the dance hall, seeing similar looks on their friends as they watched Tony get crowned. Mr. Fury then spoke, "Silence! Now, all of those who have been waiting for the Snow Queen."
                          
    Loki sighed, and looked at Piper, who had made an appearance of crossing her fingers as if she was hoping that she would get it. Loki also saw Natasha cross her fingers, so he knew she was also a candidate. He saw four more girls do the same, but was completely floored when he heard the loud booming voice of their principal call out the name of the winner, "LOKI ODINSON!" 
                          
Loki stood there, shocked. The whole hall fell dead silent as everyone turned to look at Loki himself. Loki started to get nervous under the scrutiny of his peers and teachers. Is this a dream? What the hell's happening; someone, please, please, by all gods shout out, "April Fools! It's a prank, sucker!" Or something; this cannot and will not be real. All of these thoughts ran threw Loki's mind at once as he again heard his name being called for the Snow Queen title. Loki looked around and saw Bruce--sweet kind Bruce--mouth the words 'go, we'll handle this'. But Loki stood still in confusion, but it was clear what he saw in the small boy's eyes--anger. 
                          
Loki then heard clapping from up on the stage, and saw that it was Tony, who gave a wide grin and shouted to him, "Well, come on up here, man. Haven't you heard, Reindeer Games; you're my queen. Now, come. Strut it and get your crown."
                          
Loki, shocked at this, but smiling inspite of himself, went to the stage, pushing past a few people as the serious-looking principal placed the very feminine crown on Loki's head. They then had their photo taken. Loki had just enough sense in him to smile in time as he went to Tony's side. Tony, still smiling, grabbed Loki's hand and intertwined their fingers. He held them up and shouted, "Yeah, that's right; this cutie is all mine now!"
                          
Loki blushed a scarlet color, embarrassed and still in shock, when the booing and yelling started by the loud voices of Grant and Piper and were soon followed by the rest of the class, excluding their friends, were halted by Mr. Fury, "That's enough. Now, to uphold some tradition in this place, the designated Queen and King will have a spotlight dance. Everyone make a circle." When no one moved Mr. Fury shouted, "NOW DO It!"
                          
    The crowd of teenagers did, and Tony, the only one of the boys to have enough sense to lead, started the dance of a slow song played by one of Loki's favorite artists: "Love Takes Time," by Mariah Carey. Tony looked up at Loki, and smiled softly, "You okay there, Loki?"
                          
Loki opened his mouth to speak, but it came out as a strangled cat-like sound, and he closed it again. Tears were brimming in his eyes. He was so confused, and shocked, and hurt by the laughing. Confused by how this happened, and what Tony had meant by him being his now, and shocked that he had actually won something." Tony saw the tears and reached up as he also spun the taller man around, wiping his eyes, "It's okay, Loki. Remember: be strong, be proud of who you are. Besides, these jerks don't get to win. Let's not let them win." 
                          
Loki was touched by his words. He was right, they shouldn't be sad by this, and they shouldn't let these bullies get their way. Loki nodded and finally spoke, "I'm yours? What do you mean?" 
                          
Tony stopped them for a second, and looked at Loki directly in the eyes. He spoke in the most serious tone Loki had ever heard, "Exactly what it sounds like, Loki. I'm not going to hide it. You're a kind, caring, sometimes crazy, obsessive, and dorky klutz, you little dork, but that's just who you are, as well as smart, funny, and strong, and drop-dead sexy if you ask me. And I believe I've fallen quite hard for you, Loki Odinson, and I would be honored if you would be my boyfriend."
                          
Loki looked into Tony's eyes, shocked into silence once again at how honest, genuine, and soft Tony's eyes looked, and how heartfelt and kind his words were. He nodded in response, not trusting himself to speak. Tony then smiled--his full mouth this time--and spun Loki around once again before hugging him. "Brilliant."
                          
     After the dance was done, Tony smiled and Loki put his arm around the boy's back. They walked off of the dance floor, watching their friends waiting for them at a dark corner of the room by the tables. Their friends ran to them, firing questions: if both boys were okay and if they could do anything. Tony broke them off with an earth-shattering laugh that, to Loki, sounded like angels singing, "We're fine. We're official, by the way, and fine. We decided to not let these pricks mess with us, and also to find out how this all happened, and who orchestrated it. We already can guess one person, but this was most likely a two man job, so we need to find the other." 
                          
Bruce, who looked ready to punch something, spoke up, "Yeah, but what do we do when we go to said person?" 
                          
Thor cut in, "We pound them into extinction, and destroy them; make their miserable wretches of a life hell on earth like they have. " 
                          
Loki, finally out of his daze, rolled his eyes at his brother, "We can't exactly do that, Thor, but we will probably make sure they don't mess with us again, and I think I know the said person's partner. The matter isn't who they are, it is how to catch them and how to make sure this never happens again, while remaining intact as humans, not becoming demons from hell, and not going to prison for murder."
                          
    Natasha looked around the group for a few seconds, "Well, I'm guessing four people are already lined up to see Satan themselves, to become his personal demons to fix this, considering how wrong and horrible this was to you guys. This is inexcusable."
                          
Tony then spoke, "And we're not excusing it; we're just going to do this properly, and not as violent as normally. We have to use our brains for this one, guys, not just our muscle."
                          
    Bruce sighed, nodding, "Yeah, you're right. So, for now, what do you want to do?"
                          
Loki looked around and smiled, "Well, not sure about you guys, but I'm starving. Let's head out of here, and go get some actual food inside of us."
                          
Tony smiled, holding Loki's hand and causing Loki to blush a deep red. He said, "Yeah, I could go for some shawarma. Let's go; I'll pay."
