A Tale of Mischief and Mutants part 2

A Nap

—-Sam—-

Eventually in the process of comforting me Loki fell asleep exhausted because of the amount of magic he exerted today. I know he'll probably feel guilty for it later but it's alright I'm steady now. I carefully remove myself from his lap trying not to wake him up. I slide over next to him and smile looking at him slumped over in the seat. His hair is incredibly messy and more of it is covering his face than isn't. I softly brush it aside and over his shoulder so I can see his face.

He looks peaceful in his sleep as he always does with the exception of when he has nightmares. I see Tom sneak a glance at us from across the 'room' and I smile recalling the conversation he and Loki had during my panic attack. I'm extremely excited. I've never been to a movie premiere before much less to a movie premiere with a celebrity I adore and a film genre I love so much.

He sees my smile and smiles back one of his own charming smiles. I lift my hand slightly waving to him then return my attention to Loki. Thor seeing I'm doing better now and that Loki has fallen asleep comes over to keep me company. I look up at him and smile again as he sits down across from us. He speaks in what I think has to be Thor's quiet inside voice. Interesting, I didn't think he had one.

"You're doing better now?"

I nod and unclip a piece of Loki's armor to make sleeping in his current position less likely to leave him sore when he wakes up. Thor looks at his brother in concern.

"Is he alright?

I nod again, throwing him a confused glance. 'Why wouldn't he be?' Thor sees my confusion.

"...he's never really done that, fallen asleep with the other Avengers around."

I smile yet again. Though he is exhausted I still don't think he would have been able to fall asleep if he didn't feel safe and comfortable. He's learned that he can trust the team. I speak very softly.

"I guess that's progress."

He beams at me.

"So it is."

Thor lovingly looks over his brother once more before standing and swiftly removing his cape. He drapes it over the his younger sibling and walks into the cockpit. I quietly giggle thinking the gesture is incredibly sweet and that his retreat was mostly done so he can avoid being stabbed because of it when Loki wakes up. I lift the cape slightly and get under it too before leaning up against my husband and following him into a nap.
