"My presentation is on Wonderland," MJ clicks on her slide as the class burst into laughter.

"Maybe you should go there considering you're insane!" A girl yells from the back, laughs rising.

"I'm sorry, MJ but Wonderland isn't real," Mr Roy chuckles, but stops when you rush in.

"Sorry! They boys are catching up, had to stop for Starbucks... odd drinks and cup size names," you hold your drink up. "Very sweet,"

"I'm sorry, who are you?"

"Princess Y/n Hearts, sorry, this is MJ's-?Oh! Hello, dear!" You wave at the girl who was staring in relief.

"Are they coming?" Ned asks in concern.

"Like I said, they're catching up. Those two fought over the last lollipop... last one because of me, obviously," you hold up a bunch in your hands before tossing them out.

"MJ, actors are not allowed-"

"I'm glad you think I'm acting, but trust me I'm the last person you want on stage," conjuring a cup of tea in place of the drink, the class gasps. "Right... forgot you all are human-"

"Loki, you coward! Don't run!" the god of thunder yells from the hall making everyone stand in their seats.

"Terribly sorry," Loki reaches the room and acts presentable while walking in, Thor crashing into cling wrap on the frame which the trickster conjured.

"I'll get you for that," the god growls as the class started to rise up in reactions of awe and disbelief. "Ned, my good sir!" Blondie greets the boy as Loki nods to Peter.

Mr Roy sat against his desk in shock before looking to MJ to continue once everyone hushed down under his strict look.

"Y/n is the heir to the throne, she's a little stuck here but a perfect example of wonder madness and Wonderwisp at use," MJ smiles at you; the cue for you to demonstrate.

"Wonderwisp on Earth is little weak considering how far and magic-less it is... but I can still-" and loud bell rung making you clap your hands. "Have tea time!"

They watched as you pulled a set from inside your jacket once it hung loosely on the tip of your finger. Flamingos rushing out and saucers, plates and cups filled with perfect tea time snacks and drinks.

"Hatter always says the best tea is the tea made from tea fueled water fumed tea!" You quip. "Or as he said it, the flowers bloom in sun's icy melts with scented grass on rained belts!"

"That's an example of Gibberian," MJ ends on that note as the class erupted with claps.

"Beat that, losers," you blow a raspberry at the gods who roll their eyes, Loki's smile lifting.

"And if you don't get an... A? Is it? Well, then, I'll have to swittle flush two double flops that teacher of yours,"

Stationed in a small 50s themed diner, red and white lined every inch, neon signs along the front and inner corners to draw in customers like moths. Stylized decor and vintage art along the walls to lead directly to a Jukebox as MJ explained.

Across from you was Loki, to his left was Peter, MJ to your right, Thor to her's; the large booth only just a perfect fit.

"Whatever that may mean, I agree," Ned then perked his head at the sight of the food and drinks ordered.

"Two Bacon bite burgers, a cheese and chili combo, a fillet fried sub and a Vege burger, plus four Milkshakes: two chocolate, one vanilla and one strawberry," the waitress on roller skates places the food down only for Loki to hold her back.

"Sorry, there are 6 of us, where are the other two milkshakes?"

"Two of those are singles, two are couples, that's what was on the order... did you want to-"

"No! That's alright," Thor and Ned respond quickly, watching as she rolls away.

"Aw, look at the heart straws! Hatter loved these things, especially the swirly ones," the admiration you displayed was obviously in lack of understanding; at least to the rest.

In all honesty you knew what was going on—props to Thor for being a good wing man but how Loki reacted made you decided to play it off easily as cultural misinterpretation. Should you have seen it from the hangover conundrum that he wasn't interested? Perhaps, but you knew, or rather hoped, he said those things as a cover up.

Deep down, though, you knew you were playing yourself up for heart break.

Whereas Loki was a little glad. The small intimate moment hopefully shared was like that of Wanda's many sitcoms and romantic movies she had forced him to watch. He knew you thought nothing of it, but hoped somehow this scenario would lead to... more?

More was all he wanted.

He found joy in your smile, sadness in your frown, anger from your hurt and fear from your absence. The way you accepted, praised and loved him, platonically or not, was something he has wanted for so long.

You were gorgeous but it grew the more you spoke. You were a brat, but he found humor in your antics the more he lingered around. You were annoying but to him it became the best thing.

As for him? You saw him as an equal, more or less, at first. Annoying and condescending but when he trusted you, made you see the world as he should have long ago, you found the beauty beneath all that.

Seeing how he didn't like his Jotun form made you heart break, because when you saw it, your heart fluttered. Pure jewel eyes and sea blue skin tempted your lips to finally lay a kiss on him—on his lips.

To you, he was perfect.

To him, you were perfect.
