Bracing one arm behind her head and turning to watch him, she replied simply, \u201cYour wings. For twelve days you can have them back again.\u201d She tried really hard to keep her expression clear, but she couldn\u2019t help it; anticipation and love curled the corners of her mouth. A thousand other things crowded to her lips, but she held silent, looking at him, waiting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tony\u2019s head snapped up to stare at her, as he drew the medallion back against his chest at the same time.\u00a0 \u201cYou\u2014what\u2014\u201d\u00a0 He shook his head, deciding not to question it, and instead he simply crossed back over to the couch.\u00a0 He dropped to his knees beside her, cupping her face with his free hand, and kissed her, drawing back after only a moment so their foreheads were together.\u00a0 \u201cI love you.\u00a0 You know that, don\u2019t you?\u201d\u00a0 He kissed her again, short and sloppy because he was grinning into it.\u00a0 \u201cI love you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer grinned back fit to split her face. \u201cOf course I know. Of course.\u201d She smoothed her hands along his cheeks. \u201cThank you for saying it at last, though.\u201d He was so happy she thought she might cry. \u201cI wanted you to be happy again,\u201d she whispered, smiling and smiling into his dark eyes. \u201cAnd you are. And I love you, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He leaned into her touch for a moment, and then sat back enough to lift the medallion so he could properly examine it, turning it this way and that with almost child-like interest.\u00a0 \u201cSo how do I use it?\u201d he finally asked.\u00a0 \u201cHow does it work?\u201d\u00a0 He still hadn\u2019t figured out the whole \u2018magic\u2019 thing.\u00a0 He would have to consult with Loki on that at some point, but that was for contemplating some other time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“First, you take your shirt off, I believe,” Summer commented, brushing a fingertip over the edge of the medallion he held. “I know you can buy new ones, but all the same.” Pushing herself upright, she plucked it from his hand. “As for how it works … you wear it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
