Love is Mischief

Movie Night

My training continued the same for the next couple of weeks. I would get up early and do combat training with Steve, he would occasionally have Natasha join as well. Then, in the afternoon, I would have more magic lessons with Loki. I was making progress with both, but the magic lessons always drained me. Loki warned me that it takes a lot out of someone, but it was still frustrating when he had made it look so damn easy. I had just finished up with Loki when I ran into Tony on my way out of the training room.

"Hey kid, can you come with me to the lab real quick?"

"Sure Tony, but I don't know how much help I'll be there."

Tony led me down to the lab where Bruce was waiting for us. He looked over and waved "Hey Y/N, we want to get some blood samples from you to see what we can find out about what you were given at HYDRA."

I just nodded and hopped up on the table holding my arm out for him. He took two small vials of my blood and went off to sample them. Tony then pulled me over to a suit he had sitting on a table nearby.

He pointed at it then looked at me "This is yours. I'm still working on the finishing touches, but it'll be ready for you by the time your first mission rolls arou-woah! hey, you're welcome kid." He had been cutoff by me pulling him in for a hug. He had no idea how much it meant to me to actually be a part of the team, that they would want me to be a part of the team.

Tony cleared his throat and I moved back "Well, I take it that you like it then?"

"Like it? Tony, I love it! It looks just like Nat's, it's perfect." I couldn't stop grinning at him

"Great. Ok. Like I said, I need to fine tune it, but it'll be ready for you soon enough. A few more training sessions with Steve and you'll be ready to go out with us."

"I can't wait, just name the time and place and I'll be there!!" He laughed and shooed me away. I went bouncing upstairs to get changed before dinner. It was my turn to cook so I raced to the kitchen and got to work on some chicken parm. Steve found me making a mess and offered to help me out. We had JARVIS call everyone to dinner and I served everyone their plates. I didn't grab myself any, but sat down with everyone while they ate. Even if I didn't eat with them, I enjoyed their company. Once everyone was done, I made up two plates of food and headed towards the elevator.

Thor called out as I about to head into the elevator "Lady Y/N, tonight is movie night and since it's your first one you get to choose the movie!"

"That sounds great Thor, I'll be down after dinner!" Tony looked around at me, confused since we just ate dinner, but Thor gave me a knowing smile and laughed at Tony's confusion. I made my way up to my floor and towards Loki's room. Lately, I'd been eating dinner with him after spending time with the team. It felt weird to sit with him while I watched him eat so after a couple of times I decided to wait and eat with him. Loki knew my routine so he just left his door ajar for me so I didn't have to knock. I walked right in and headed for the couch. Loki had been sitting on his bed with his back against the headboard reading a book. When he heard me come in he quickly closed his book and took a seat on the couch.

I handed him his plate "It's chicken parm tonight, I hope you like it. I made it so don't tell me if you hate it."

He laughed and grabbed the plate from me "I'm sure anything that you make would be acceptable"

We ate in a comfortable silence like usual. When I was done I looked over at him and saw him looking at me. I got nervous and looked away quickly pretending to fix my hair. "So...Loki..."

"Yes Y/N?"

"The team is having a movie night and since it's my first one I get to choose the movie. Do you think you'd want to join me...us?" I decided to be brave and look up at him, he had an amused look on his face

"Do you want me to join you darling?"

"I-I mean, yeah, I think it'd be nice to have you there..."

"Then I'd be delighted to join you. What film will we be watching?"

"I'm not sure, I don't really know of any movies as Tony loves to point out so maybe you could help me choose?"

"I can't say I know any more than you on that matter so I may not be the best help."

I giggled at that "Yeah, that's true, we're probably the worst pair to be deciding movie night. Other than Steve of course. I should head down and try to pick something, I'll see you down there?"

"Yes, I'll be down in a bit, I'd like to finish my book first" he headed back to his bed to continue reading while I ran back to the main living room. I saw Thor and Steve moving the couches around so that they all faced the TV properly. Thor looked so excited he was practically bouncing around.

The couches weren't huge, we could fit 3 people at most on a couch. Nat, Clint and Bruce all sat together on one couch while Tony and Steve took another. I handed Tony my movie choice and he laughed when he saw it was Harry Potter. I looked around to see where I should sit when I saw Thor smiling at me and patting the seat next to him. I quickly joined him and he covered me with a blanket, he was always very brotherly with me and basically adopted me the moment I met him. The movie had just started when Thor noticed that Loki had entered the room.

"Brother! Come, join movie night!"

Loki looked like he was going to turn around and leave until I slid closer to Thor and motioned to my other side for Loki to join me. He gave me a look of thanks and settled in next to me. I couldn't tell if Thor was more excited for the movie or more excited that Loki joined us. Either way, he was grinning the whole time.

Tony paused the movie when Professor Snape came on screen and pointed to the TV "See! Now tell me that Reindeer Games doesn't look like him. Give him a cape and wand, you'd never know the difference!"

Loki scoffed at this and crossed his arms while Thor boomed with laughter "Brother, you have to admit he has a similar look to you!"

Satisfied with Thor's response, Tony started the movie again. At some point throughout the movie Thor feel asleep and was resting on my shoulder. I just adjusted the blanket around him and moved to get myself comfortable. I left my hand resting on my leg on top of the blanket and felt a cold hand rest on mine. I looked over at Loki who was intently staring at the screen so I turned my hand to interlock our fingers and gave his hand a squeeze. This made him look over at me and smile. I couldn't believe I was sitting there holding hands with Loki. I barely paid any attention to the rest of the movie. Was he just being polite? Did he think of me as more than a friend? Did this mean anything other than just companionship? My mind was reeling and then the moment was over as fast as it started. The movie ended and everyone started heading to bed. Loki quickly got up and escaped to his room. I woke Thor up and walked with him up to bed. He wished me goodnight and I all but threw myself on my bed in frustration. Why I was thinking so much about this? It was just one friend holding another friends hand.

Right?
