Warnings: mild violence, swearing
Fandom: MCU
SUMMARY: While you're banished to Midgard Loki and the other Avengers are playing a game ( 2 truths and a lie ) and he says he has a lover back home, but they don't believe him.
Loki was always grumpy. It seemed all his eyes could do was glare so him keeping his eyes closed and ignoring you was seen as him being friendly. So when Thor insisted he isn't always like this, the entire team made the decision to try and see this side, and if not just do it to annoy him.
Sometimes they brought him food, forced him to come out for 'Avengers bonding time' (Which was usually bowling or arcade games, where reason of injury to each other can't be excused.) and tonight, it was games that would get any group of teenagers giddy.
"How does two truths and a lie sound?" Tony asked.
"You might need to explain it to the older ones." Natasha joked, motioning her head in the direction of Steve, Thor and Loki. Steve chuckled, Thor gave his usual 'I'm just happy to be here' smile and Loki rolled his eyes and huffed.
"Okay, so we take it in turns to tell two truths and a lie, and the rest of us have to figure out which is the lie." Tony explained simply.
"Sounds simple enough." Thor answered. "Who shall go first?"
"I'll go first!" Clint offered. "Okay, one... One time I accidently shot myself, two, I was once in the circus, three, I nearly talked my wife into calling our first son Willy from Willy Wonka."
"Oh that last one is such bullshit, as if you could talk her into that." Tony answered quickly.
"True, I bet if you even suggested that she'd kick your ass, pregnant or not." Natasha added.
"Are they right?" Thor asked.
"Yep!" Clint confirmed. "Alright, who's next?" He asked. Steve raised his hand.
"...one, I once ran into a wall, two, I once fought a man in an alleyway with a bin lid, and three I once beat Bucky at an arm wrestle before the serum."
"Oh this is so easy. It's clearly three." Thor responded proudly.
"Actually... it's one."
"What? No way! How the hell!?" Bruce asked, baffled while Steve chuckled, clearly not ready to give away his secret.
"Loki, how about you go next?" Thor suggested, looking to his side where his brother was, arms crossed. Loki huffed, expecting them to just choose someone else if he remained quiet, but all eyes remained on him and he realised that wasn't going to happen. He sat up a little and huffed again.
"Fine. One, I once stabbed Thor after disguising as a horse, two I have a lover and three I've approxamitly faked my death more than twenty times." He got out rather quickly before slumping back in his seat. The room remained quietly.
"...It's two." Tony finally decided. Loki smirked, and Thor couldn't help but chuckle. "What? You're joking right? Loki has a lover?"
"You're kidding." Steve added on, also shocked. Everyone was.
"It is the truth, I assure you. He's called Y/N, Loki's better half, quite literally." Thor explained, putting his hand roughly on his brother's shoulder.
"...Is that why you're so grumpy when you're here?" Natasha deduced, getting a wide eyed look from Loki. "Oh it is! You miss him when you're here, that's kind of cute." She cooed. Clint awed as well, seeing the usually threatening and cold demi-god become flusted and blubbering as he sank into his seat. Thor looked at his brother, a flash of a frown appearing then disapearing before Loki could see.
The Avengers tried getting more out of Loki about Y/N since then. What are you like? What was your thoughts on his attempt of taking over Earth? Were you as much of an asshole as him? That last one got Tony a busted lip and Loki became even more distant. Thor didn't like that... at all. The day later, Thor announced he needed to make a quick visit back to Asgard for something, and no one batted a eye, due to it being a normal thing.
"Everyone! I'm back!" His announcement still made everyone jump a little at the volume, before normal reactions ensued, rolled eyes, playful groans and welcome backs. "I have brought something, or should I say someone, along with me!" He announced loudly as well, getting a particular trickster's attention who before had his back turned to his brother and kept his head in his book. He turned to see who he'd brought, before he practically jumped over the couch and stumbled, pushing Thor out the way to hug the man.
"You have no idea how much I've missed you." He muttered into your shoulder, as you returned the hug, even putting a kiss on his temple. That simple gesture told everyone who was confused about who you were, the answer.
"Gonna guess you're Y/N?" Tony asked.
"Gonna guess you're Stark?" You responded, pulling away, keeping an arm around your man, looking Tony up and down. "Oh yes, most definately Stark." You commented again, and Loki couldn't help but chuckle. Your eyes alone told Stark that was some sort of insult.
"I thought you said he was his better half."
"He is his better half. Doesn't mean he's that much better."
"Watch your mouth very closely about my Y/N, dear brother." Loki turned his head to his brother who promptly took a step back, and Loki walked with you of of the room to enjoy each other's company.
