INTRODUCTION: Idiot. The word idiot is used to imply that one is stupid, daft or dumb. Some people use it as a term of endearment. Loki is one of those people. He uses the word idiot as freely as Tony drinks.
This is a collection of times Loki called Tony 'Idiot'.

Christmas was a fucking disaster. Our two lovebirds were at some party somewhere, someplace. Tony saw mistletoe in the doorway of somewhere, someplace, and in his drunken stupor, he grabbed Loki round the wrist, pulling him over to the kissin' plant. He was too drunk to notice the glaze of uncomfortable fear in Loki's green eyes as he looked up at the thing. Tony kept on pressing on with the desire to kiss him, but Loki punched him in the face, hissing out a shaken 'idiot' and disappearing for the rest of the night.

Seriously. He disappeared. And Tony didn't see him until the next morning at 10:35. And then Loki told him why everything happened the way it did, and how he was actually the bringer of the end of the world. Oh good.

Oh good. Just great. Tony kept spouting off sarcasm at the information, but he really felt bad for Loki, deep down underneath the fear and anger that once again, Tony was face with something completely dangerous Like, if the man wasn't fucking destroying something, then he was going to. But he didn't want to this time.

And that's what made Tony upset the most. Loki was actually.. scared.
"I don't want to." He said, eyes bright and brows drawn together. "I really don't want to. I remember hearing inklings of this when I was in Asgard, but I never really payed any attention to them. But then when you were absent, a stranger grabbed me by my arm and told me everything."

"What- Loki-.. Loki why didn't you tell me this when I got home?" Loki looked down at his hands, folded in his lap.
"I didn't want to upset you." He said quietly, and Tony scowled.
"And even afterwards?! I've been home for a while you know."

The hero pressed, and Loki hung his head further.
"It kept slipping my mind. I just. I.." He sounded so hollow and sad, and it softened Tony's tone and feeling by a mile.
"No.. Loki it's fine.." Tony said softly, coming close to wrap his arms around the god, who was trembling.

"Loki just don't keep those things secret okay? That's really important for me to know. I don't want you to deal with these things alone. Because you don't have to." He soothed, holding the god close to him. Loki cried that night into Tony's shoulder, clutching to him and shaking and saying how much he didn't want to do what he was destined to do. It made Tony cry too. I guess that's one way to bond right?

New Year's was better. Much more relaxed. And a lot less tears. But more booze than last time (but that was only due to their location). Tony and Loki decided to stay home for this one, feeling it would be much better.

I mean, what if there were more trigger objects hidden in places that not even Loki knew about? Tony wasn't gonna risk it. So they watched the ball drop from their living room, on the TV It was too cold for Tony anyway, and Loki just wanted to stay in the tower-house-whatever-the-fuck-they-live-in-it-okay for the night. Good thing they were in the same page.

So yes, they were cuddling on the couch together watching it turn from 2012 to 2013.

"How are you liking New Year's, babe?" Tony asked, turning his face to Loki's, grinning.

"Kind of uneventful, but it's a nice tradition anyway." The god said, smiling, and he let himself be pulled into a fond kiss.

A nice tradition indeed.
