Talk to Me (слэш)

Written for the FrostIron Holiday Exchange 2020
A strange artefact leaves Tony Stark unable to speak- well, he can still talk, but when he does, all that comes out of his mouth is gibberish. After exhausting usual methods to help their colleague, the Avengers turn to an unlikely source for help. At first, Loki agrees to help, if only to get his hands on the artefact, but as times goes on, he realises Stark has a wicked sense of humour and is incredibly intelligent. When Stark's injured during a fight, Loki realises his feelings might run deeper than merely intellectually interested.
