Tony had flown about a hundred miles past the ship that was waiting for them and had to double back to reach it. Steve hadn’t been very amused that there was a boat and he’d been forced to freeze his ass off while Tony just dicked around in the air, it was immature payback, he knew that. Once they were in England Tony got them in to the apartment building that sat up against the wizarding world, where he and the others that had followed him lived. When he entered it, it was just to the guys, Natasha was not with them, Wanda was not there and most of the Avengers were gone and the ones that remained were not happy to see him. The only time that Steve had brought up Hermione he got a death glare for his answer so he imagined that all was not happy and bright in their relationship and he wondered if that had anything to do with him. Tony made sure that Steve was settled in to his room, gave him house rules and warned him to stay out of the muggle world and then retired to his own bedroom for some much needed rest before going to try to smooth over his latest battle with Hermione. He slept for only about four and a half hours before he finally got up and showered, taking as long as he could before getting ready to leave the apartment.
“Tony” Jarvis said, calling his attention to him. It had taken the AI forever to be comfortable calling him Tony instead or ‘Mr. Stark’ or ‘Sir’ but finally he was able to do it “Are you off to see Hermione and possibly Miss. Lovegood?”
“I am” Tony said “Are you coming with me?”
“If you don’t mind” Jarvis answered.
Tony nodded that it was fine with him and he led the way out of the apartment building and down the familiar cobblestone walkway through wizarding London. It was about a half-hours walk to Hermione’s apartment but it seemed so much longer when he missed her too much. He made his way to the apartment door and knocked three times before pushing it open and walking in, her front door led in to the kitchen, there was no one in there so he walked in to the living room and stopped cold. Luna was lying on top of the red-haired male that Loki had been living with, Ginny’s brother that he’d forgotten the name of because there was just too many of them. Her head was tucked under his chin, his fingers were running up and down her spine and her blonde hair was spread out across his chest, Tony turned his eyes to Jarvis who was also looking at Luna and the redheaded male and it was a murderous look. Tony would have to talk to him about that later, he wasn’t sure the state of their relationship but from the look of it Jarvis was not taking this very well so whatever their relationship was it had been real for him. His eyes swept the room again, Ginny was cuddling a bottle of wine and then he saw the loveseat and his blood ran cold, his eyes narrowed and hatred and hurt wounded him more than any hit he’d ever taken in a fight. Loki, the man he hated most in the world, was lying on his back with his long legs hanging over the armrest, Hermione had her knee lying across his hips, his hand was resting on her ass in an almost indecent way and his other hand was resting gently on the soft skin of her back as her shirt was pulled up to the middle of her back. Occasionally, Loki would sweep his thumb up and down her spine and when he did she would make the kind of soft, whimpering moans that made them sound almost erotic. He wanted to yell and wake them up, he wanted to slink away, hide and lick his wounds but Jarvis was already leaving so with one last glance at the sleeping couple Tony walked out and slammed the door as hard as he could.

On Monday, Hermione walked in to her office building nervously. She’d written to Tony to see how the trip to America had gone, but the letter went unanswered, she wrote another saying that she was no longer angry, but that too went unanswered and finally she wrote to him and apologized but got no answer. When she got to the offices it was to find Banner looking perfectly normal which was to say he was only looked slightly stressed out, Jarvis was slamming things around while looking confused and when she got in to her own office that she shared with Tony she stopped dead in her tracks. He was leaning against the front of his desk with his arms crossed over his chest, she could tell that he was very angry but he was also extremely sexy when he was mad. With that thought entering her mind Hermione knew that sooner or later she was going to have to get laid, because thinking her angry business partner was sexy as he was scowling at her was not normal. When she entered, Tony he raised a brow at her and then shoved a file in her hands before turning back to his desk.
“What’s this?” Hermione asked, she knew why he was angry but hoped he’d have just let it go.
“Paperwork from Hogwarts students who want to be assistants” Tony answered “Thought you’d like to have a look”
“Thank you” Hermione said, he nodded looking at his hands and Hermione could feel the sadness coming off of him “Nothing happened, Tony”
“What?” He asked “I didn’t say…”
“I know” She said “But I know that you saw me sleeping on the loveseat with another man…”
“With Loki!” He snapped, turning his angry face towards hers, she waved her hand and the door shut “It was Loki you were sleeping with, cuddled up to making the sexist and most erotic moans I have ever heard in my entire life” He advanced on her and she took a step back “Stop doing that!”
“Stop advancing on me like that then!” Hermione snarled back “And I was just sleeping, not having sex…it could have been George or Ginny but it happened to be him!”
“I wouldn’t have cared if it had been George or Ginny” He answered “Hell, I’d have been fine with Banner, Steve, Thor or fucking Jarvis but not him” He shook his head “Not him, nope…he doesn’t get to have you!”
“You make me sound like a fucking prize!” Hermione glared at him, wondering why his anger made her want to cry “I was only sleeping, not having sex!”
“Sleeping is a very intimate act, Hermione” Tony said, sitting behind his desk and looking forlornly at the stacks of papers that had to be looked over, it was busy work that he could give to Jarvis or Banner but at that particular moment he didn’t want to have to look at Hermione.
“Tony” Hermione said, she walked in front of his desk and tapped her fingers against the top of it “Tony, it didn’t mean anything…I don’t like him like that, I like…you”
“Yeah” Tony looked at her, frowning up at her where she stood. His heart hurt, he felt emotions that he usually kept hidden climbing up his throat and for the first time since meeting her, Tony wondered if he was making a mistake in his wanting of Hermione because she never showed any interest in him until recently which was good on one hand because it meant that she wasn’t after his money but on the other hand…where did it leave them?
“Tony…” Hermione started but he held his hand up, stopping her words.
“Hermione” He cut her off “Please, I have work to do and so don’t you”
“But…” She tried again.
“When we started this business” Tony said “You said we had to keep our feelings and emotions out of the way, we promised that it would never get in the way of our work and I’d like to keep that promise…so just, leave me alone”
“But” Hermione snapped, he stood so suddenly that she jumped back and it made him growl low in his throat.
“Do the rules only work when it concerns you?” He snapped “Do we only keep them in place for you and yet when I try to enact them they’re no good”
“Okay” Hermione said, moving to her desk with tears in her eyes “I’m sorry”
The hours went by abnormally slowly. Usually, days in the office with Tony were filled with sexual innuendos, inside jokes, dirty jokes, talks about the future of the business and occasionally talks about their future. This day, however, there was nothing but grunts of irritation, muttered swears, shuffling papers and sighing and it was worse outside their office. On more than one occasion, they heard Jarvis snapping at Banner, heard him almost yell at Luna, who in turn gave up trying to work and just left early with nothing more than a goodbye to Hermione and Tony. As it neared five in the evening Hermione was just trying convince herself that it was okay to go home at a reasonable time but then if she did, she’d just be bored and lonely. She was just putting away the last of the resumes that she’d been reading about an overly plucky sounding Ravenclaw when the door swung open and Thor came walking in to the room, swinging his hammer and smiling brightly at them. No matter how many times she saw him, Hermione couldn’t stop the feeling of lust that went through her body, making her squeeze her thighs together and bite her lip while looking him over. She scowled and forced herself to look away, pretending to be sifting through her files again.
“Stark” Thor greeted in a booming voice “This is the most interesting place in the nine realms, I have to admit”
“Glad you think so” Tony muttered bitterly, his eyes sliding over to Hermione who was frowning down at her files “What have you been up to?”
“I’ve slept with two women in the last four days” Thor said, obviously proud of himself “The cute little blonde you sent me to in the baby store” Hermione’s head snapped up and her eyes were wide “Then a cute little brunette that I met at The Leaky Cauldron”
“I don’t know who the brunette is” Hermione said in horror “But the blonde is Astoria Malfoy…she’s married!” Her eyes went to Tony’s whose were just as big as hers telling her that he hadn’t made that part of the plan.
“I know that Astoria’s married” Thor scoffed, still not picking up on the horror from the woman in the room “And I think that Lavender is too”
“LAVENDER!?” Hermione shrieked “Oh my god…oh, my god!” She shook her head “Thor…what have you done?”
“Slept with a woman that wanted me” He answered “But I have to say, I do like Astoria a lot”
“Then why…” Hermione dropped her head back and rubbed her hands over her face “Why would you sleep with Lavender…that’s my best friends wife!”
“I didn’t know that” Thor actually looked sorry for what he’d done “I would never have gone after her if I’d known that, I do not wish to cause problems between you and your friends”
“Then what about sleeping with Astoria?” Hermione snapped “Draco’s my friend too”
“It’s not my fault he can’t keep her satisfied” Thor answered “Honestly, she’d look better on a throne in Asgard than rotting away here waiting for a man that doesn’t love her to notice what a gem she is” Hermione felt her heart expand and then constrict painfully, he sounded as if he loved her and he’d just met her but she and Tony had known one another for over a year and they still fought like cats and dogs…what was wrong with them?
“I’m going home” Hermione whispered, she kept her eyes downcast as she left the office. When she got to Banner and Jarvis’s office they were both packing up, Jarvis had an angry scowl on his face and Banner merely looked lost. She was almost to the door when Tony’s voice stopped her in her tracks, embarrassing her and angering her greatly but most of all just making her tired.
“Why did you fall asleep with Loki on that loveseat?” He asked, Hermione lowered her eyes to the floor as she turned to look at him and then she shook her head slightly “Answer me…why?”
“To make you angry” Hermione answered, her voice had lost any semblance of normalcy and now it was merely exhaustion that they could all hear, even Tony “Is that what you want to hear?”
“No…I…” He started.
“I’m done, Tony” Hermione said “With…this” She waved her finger between the two of them “Whatever it was attempting to be, it won’t bother the company so don’t worry, anyone”
“Hermione…” Banner started but she shook her head at him.
“Tomorrow morning I will have my side of the office moved to a different area within the building and we won’t have to see each other” She told Tony, only shooting Banner a look to stop his words “I will have an assistant by the end of the week and you’ll have one so that’s how we can communicate, I will see you all tomorrow, I have a feeling I have to calm Luna down” She gave Jarvis a dark look “She was treated very poorly today”
A/N: Oh no, what’s going to happen? So, to understand Hermione’s way of thinking if you had any trouble that is. She is simply confused and angry because Stark chased after her, she finally gave in to him and then he pulls back, doesn’t listen to her (he is jealous) and appears to just be trying to goad her in to a fight…She is simply…done.
