Wizards and Geniuses [IronStrange]

Mystery Ride |23|

Tony slapped Stephen's arm as they got off, not hard though. "What the actual fuck!? Why would you do that?"

Stephen cocked an eyebrow, "I thought you'd enjoy it, to be fair."

"Enjoy kids being scared out of their minds? Parents being worried for their kids?"

"I had it all under control, Tony."

"I don't give a shit, you don't do that to people!"

"Well, I enjoyed it." Loki said, as him and Mobius approached the two. "See? Finally someone appreciates my magic." Stephen and Loki did a high-five. "That was a little crazy..." Mobius expressed, while rubbing his neck.

"Come onnn, maybe Loki and I should go on rides together."

"Oh, I totally agree." Loki spoke with a nod.

"No, why don't we all hang out together instead of splitting up?" Tony suggested.

Loki gave him a quick glare, "I'm still peeved at your actions, Stark." He growled.

Tony gave up, he know he couldn't make it up to Loki, only if Mobius forgave him. "Look, Loki... there's so much I have to fill you and Mobius in on, and you'll understand why I punched him. It's a good reason, I promise."

"Yeah? Why don't you tell us now?"

"Uhm..." He looked over at Stephen, "It's such a long story... can we just enjoy this time together now? And we'll discuss everything later."

"That's a great idea, come on Loki, let's do it." Mobius encouraged. Loki took a moment to respond, "Fine, but only because Mobius agrees to it."

"Great. Now... Stephen, no more magical mystery rides okay?" Tony said in a stern way. Stephen rolled his eyes and smiled, "You're no fun."

"Mhm." Tony took Stephen by the hand, and gestured at the other two. They all walked around booths, scanned menus, glanced at rides, deciding what they wanted to do next.

Tony gasped and pointed at a booth, "I WANT THAT!" There was a huge penguin stuffed animal hanging in front of the booth. Stephen prepared a spell, "No! No! I want to win it!" Tony said before stopping him from conjuring.

"Babe, do you have any cash?" Tony asked his boyfriend. Stephen gave him a confused frown, "You're literally rich."

"Yeah, but who uses cash anymore?"

Stephen looked at Mobius and Loki, "Did you two buy tickets yet?" He asked them. "We didn't buy them, but yes." Loki answered, Mobius awkwardly coughed at his response.

Stephen tilted his head, "Okay...?" He turned to the booth. "Don't get too crazy." Stephen pulled out a $20 bill from his pocket and gave it to Tony, who was acting like a toddler. Tony scoffed, "Says the one who tampered with a children's ride." He playfully snapped back, taking the $20 dollar bill.

Tony zipped off to the booth. Stephen laughed as his boyfriend asked the employee for an opportunity to win the game. He had to toss 3 rings on a bottle, classic game. Tony held one ring in his hand, while strategizing his turn.

Loki, Mobius, and Stephen, watched with high expectations. Tony tossed the ring, it successfully landed! Everyone cheered. Tony went again, and it landed perfectly as well! More cheering followed up after. "Last one..." Tony breathed in, he through the ring.

It...

Landed again! "Damn!" Stephen shouted as Tony accepted victory. "Nice! Nobody was able to do that, choose a prize." The employee said. "I want that big ass penguin." Tony demanded. The employee chuckled, "Alright." He gave Tony the penguin.

Tony just barely held the enormous stuffed animal, it was almost the size of him! "Let me help you with that." Stephen made the penguin levitate into the air. "What- nooo... I want to hold it." He whined.

"Really?" Stephen shrugged, "Alright." He lowered the penguin into Tony's arms. "That was extraordinary." Loki said as he walked next to Tony.

"He's extraordinary." Stephen added, which made Tony smirk. "Can't disagree with that." Tony definitely had an ego-boost from this. "Remember how I told EVERYONE that Tony and Stephen would get together? And nobody believed me?" Mobius asked the group.

Everyone groaned, "We get it. You're practically Cupid." Tony retorted. His face lit up as he saw the Ferris wheel. "Oh! We're totally going on that!" Tony gushed.

"Let's come back and do it at night." Stephen suggested, he then whispered into Tony's ear, "Imagine how romantic that'd be?"

Tony smirked, "What's up with you? Since when do you want to do romantic things? And since when do you tamper with magic?"

Stephen shrugged, "What do you mean? I've always been the romantic type." They swung their hands together.

They walked off from Loki and Mobius. "Do you forgive Stark?" Loki asked him.

Mobius gave him a little shrug, "I guess it depends on his reason. I'm not mad at him... the guy has been through some awful shit. Which of course, doesn't justify his actions. I'm just saying, I understand that he's not his best self at the moment."

"I suppose... I despise how he's having a good time, meanwhile you're suffering from his actions."

Mobius snacked on a piece of cotton candy, "Let's see what he has to say."

"Alright. Hey, by the way, Iris and I are going to hang out later tonight. So, I won't be here at 8 PM." Loki took some cotton candy from Mobius' bag.

"Oh? Will you be staying the night?"

"Nope, Iris's house is littered with cats and they don't like me." They laughed together. "Okay. Because I was hoping... we could hang out tonight. But since you have plans, maybe we could push it tomorrow?" Mobius asked with a shy smile.

"Uh... yeah, we can hang out tonight. I doubt I'll be gone for long."

"Great, great. I'm looking forward to it."

His words brought suspicion to Loki's mind. Loki lifted an eyebrow, "You're doing this with platonic intentions, correct?" Loki questioned. "I am."

"Hm... okay."
