This place looked so fancy and formal, I was wearing the right attire for the place, but I don't think I would have ever ordered from a place so formal.

I was certain this place wouldn't serve me a double cheeseburger and fries.

"Here we are! A great place to eat!" Loki said victoriously.

I smiled nervously.

He intertwined his arm with mine and pulled me inside.

He pulled out my chair at a little table-for-two, and sat down opposite me.

He smiled warmly at me, and the waiter handed us a menu each.

I looked down longingly.

There was nothing I knew on the menu.

I didn't even know the names of half the meals there.

My cheeseburger theory was, unfortunately, correct.

Looking up at Loki, his facial expression mocked that of pure disgust.

"Darling," he started, "do you know what any of these meals are?"

I shook my head.

Almost immediately the waiter came to take our orders.

"And what will you two be having?"

I looked at Loki, then back at the waiter and shook my head.

The waiter nodded and walked away.

"Loki," I hissed, "I love you dearly, but why did you bring us here?" I snapped, trying not to laugh.

A small chuckle escaped my mouth, and Loki grinned.

"Someone on the 'internet' said it was a good place to eat." He admitted sheepishly.

I rolled my eyes at him whilst giggling.

"Last time you listened to someone on the internet, you thought TINDER was an app that delivered firewood."

He hung his head down.

His neck snapped back up almost instantly, as he grabbed my hand and pulled me away from my chair.

"Thank you waiter," Loki shouted as together we ran out of the restaurant doors.

"Where are we going?" I asked, giggling.

"McDonald's! At least I can read the menu there!" Loki shouted in response.

"This-is why- I love you!" I shouted in between breaths.

"Thank you darling. But I'm sure there's more you'll love me for in days to come."

We burst through the automated door of MacDonald's, a laughing, panting mess.

We ordered, ate our meals then went home to the Avenger's tower.
