Love is Mischief

Sorry that I haven't published anything in a while. I really don't have any excuses to that. I will try to publish more often but I can't make any promises. For now, though, I'll leave you guys with this. Enjoy

It was Pride Month and Peter was excited. He had already worked out most of the details and his friends to go to a Pride March with him, even down to the accessories. He had begged and begged Mr Stark to get him and his friends flags that they could drape over their shoulders and, surprisingly, he had said yes. He had even bought face paint and little pins for them to wear.

The only problem? The March was tomorrow and he hadn't worked out who was going to get them all there. He couldn't ask Mr Stark as he was being forced by Pepper to go to a meeting that lasted all day and he wasn't really all that keen on asking any of the others. Heck, he wasn't even sure who in the facility was supportive and who wasn't.

The best way to solve a problem like that? You call your friends, obviously.

Peter had gotten his phone out ready to call them when the door to his room suddenly slammed open, revealing Thor standing at the doorway. Thor wandered into the room and gazed at the walls that were covered in flags. Thor was confused to say the least. "Boy of spiders, why are your walls covered in these colourful flags?"

Peter looked at the walls then back at Thor, scared of what he might think. He wasn't ready to tell him yet! He wasn't ready to tell any of them yet! The only one that knew was Tony and that was only because he was the only one of them that he trusted as of right now. He had to find a way to play this all off as something else but he had no idea how.

"Umm..." he started, still trying to come up with an excuse. Thor tilted his head to the side, encouraging him to continue. Peter took deep, calming breath before continuing. "I-umm... well, you see, I-I'm bisexual and th-these flags on my wall... they are the bisexual pride flags." Peter stuttered, scared of what his uncle might think of this.

Thor, on the other hand, was confused. Why does the young man of spiders seem so scared to tell me this, he wondered. Have I done something wrong? Said something, perhaps?

Thor looked back at Peter and saw the young boy sitting on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands, crying silently. Thor made his way over to the boy and crouched down beside him, placing a hand on his shoulder. Peter flinched at the sudden contact but didn't move, instead moving into the touch. After a minute of Thor comforting Peter, he lifted his head to face his uncle and smiled.

"You d-don't h-h-hate me?" The boy asked through his tears. This shattered Thor's heart. Did he really think that he would hate him just because of what he had told him?

Thor saw Loki walking past the still open doorway to the room and beckoned him inside. He rolled his eyes and hesitatingly stepped into the room and over to where the two other men sat. Loki glanced at the walls on his way over and raised his eyebrows in surprise. "I never knew that you supported young one."
"W-Well, I-I have to support m-my own community, don't I?"
"Well, yes. As do I."

Peter looked over at Loki, shock and a hint of surprise written over his face. Loki could relate him to an overexcited puppy when it's told that they are going to go on a walk. "Y-You... your... apart of the LGBTs?"
"Yes I am. I practically rule them. I am a genderfluid bisexual."
"Well, guess I can't call you my Uncle anymore, can I? Guess I have to start calling you... umm... Supreme Ruler Loki...?"

Loki chuckled at that. He loved that kid and thought that he was much too precious for the horrors that surround Midgard. He might just have to sneak him onto another planet that he is worthy for. I wonder if he would be able to lift Mjollnir? A question for another day.

"You may call me whatever you like. Although, I do like that name. Now, what was that place in which you wanted to go to with those friends of yours?"

Peter looked down, flustered. "Y-You heard that?"
"Yes. Was I not meant to?"
"Well, yes. N-No. I-I ummm... I can't really explain what it is but not because it's a bad thing or anything, it's actually a really good thing it's just... I-I've never been before but I was hoping to go with some of my friends to the Pride Parade that's not too far from here and I have everything good to go... except how we are going to get there..."

Loki smirked, a glint of mischief caught in his eye. "I think we can sort something out."

{Time Skip 'Cause I'm Lazy}

They got there early. None of them knew how, considering the amount of jewellery and face paint that Peter and Shuri had put on them (with a lot of complaints) but they did it. Still, none of them could believe that they were all here; standing in the middle of this crowd of fellow gays and supporters, parading the streets. They all wore shirts that Peter had picked out with puns of their sexualities and their respected flags, with MJ rocking her ace cape.

Although there were debates on the best make-up or who the best drag queen that was marching was, they all agreed on the best part of the day. It was, without a doubt, the part where Thor had spotted a rainbow and cast lightning down next to it. It sent a spark of hope for them all that the world can actually be good.
