"MOVIE NIGHT!" you, Wanda, and Pietro screamed, all falling next to your favorite person. Wanda to Vision, Pietro to the fifteen pizza boxes on the table, and you to Loki.
"Jesus Crist! And this is why I'll never have kids." Tony says.
The twins and you glare at him, you, Wanda, and Pietro throwing a newly conjured pomegranate, popcorn, and a slice of pizza respectively. Before the pizza hit Tony, Pietro grabbed it back and gobbled it up.
"What? It'd be a waste of perfectly good pizza!"
Pietro's phone buzzed and you and Wanda dived for it, like the nosy siblings you are. Pietro snatched it out of your hands, beating you both to it.
"Who is it, Turbo?" You say smirking at him.
"Just a friend. Oh, they have a question for you all, if life gave you lemons, what would you do?"
"Make lemonade," Wanda, Vision, Thor, and Steve said at different intervals.
"You squeeze it into someone's eyes." Nat, Tony, and Sam interject.
"You make orange juice using that very same lemon and make people question how you did it." You remark, steal some of Wanda's popcorn.
"Life doesn't give you lemons, it gives you shit." Clint and Loki say in unison, much to each other's surprise. Clint looked at Loki, scrutinizing him as if to see if he was reading his mind.
Loki shifted a bit uncomfortably, so you sat next to him.
"So, what movie are we watching?" Nat asked.
Everyone but Loki and Thor shouted out movie names. The formally peaceful Avengers all broke out into an argument over what movie to pick, while you were persuading Loki to let you do his hair.
Sighing, you used your magic to start Your Name.

"I don't get it," Loki whispered in your ear. "If she traveled into the future and left him messages, couldn't she have noticed it was a different year? And why do they not remember each other?" You barely heard his question over Wanda, Tony, and Pietro's sobs.
"Oh, I think it's to show that they will always gravitate back to each other despite the challenges? To be honest, I wasn't paying too much attention." Halfway through the movie, Loki had put his arm around your shoulders and pulled you closer to him. You were so busy overthinking and worrying that had you missed the rest of the movie.
The movie ended and Tony let out a frustrated sob/scream about how sad it was and he had to take his allergy medicine because there was no way he was crying due to a movie.

You were tending to your garden, intertwining new memories with new plants.
"What are you doing?" Loki asked curiously, startling you.
"I'm planting memories," You replied, without a second thought about the reaction this statement would bring.
Loki's eyes glowed with curiosity. "What do you mean?"
"I bind one of my memories to the life force of a plant, giving the plant the ability to show the memory to anyone who seeks it. Given that no one knows I do this, no one can view my memories but me." You continue the memory process, sweat beading on your brow. "But it is a very hard process, and I hope you respect my privacy and don't upturn my garden looking for and watching my memories."
"Can I try?"
"I....don't know if that's possible, given that it requires my specific powers, but we could try."
Leading him to the secret section of the garden, you guided yourself in front of a wilting plant. "Pick a memory and try to imagine it's a thread, movable and thin. Then try channeling it into this plant, visualize the thread wrapping itself tightly around the plant, folding itself within each petal, and engraving itself within the curve of the leaves."
Closing your eyes, you saw a small, glowing strand of memory reaching for the plant. You bonded the memory to the plant, carefully making sure that it didn't snap off of Loki's life force. If the memory disconnected from the source before the bonding was over, it would forever be forgotten. Once bonded, you would choose to save your memory in your head and the plant. If you cut it off your life force, you would forget it until you revisited the plant.
Opening your eyes, you saw that the flower was in full bloom. Loki hesitantly reached out to touch the plant. His eyes glazed over and he stood stock-still. So that's what you looked like when you viewed your own memories. You made a mental note to always close your eyes before memory viewing.
Loki came back to his senses a few moments later and insisted on helping you plant more flora.
"The ice-prince of Asgard wants to get his hands dirty! Is the world ending? If I snap will you disappear?" You tease.
Loki rolled his eyes at you and you stuck out tongue out in a childish response.
~~~
After finishing in the garden, you went to go wash up. You also encouraged Loki too, and seeing the dirt now stuck in his restrainer Tony made for him, you huffed.
"How can Tony expect you to do anything with this thing on! We got to convince him to take it off."
"That's the point, darling. If I can't do anything, then I can't hurt anyone." Loki said, bitterness edging his voice.
"Please, you couldn't even hurt a fly." You dismissed his thought. Loki looked at you strangely.
"I killed eighty people in two days."
"Really? I didn't know you had that malicious intent in yourself."
"I tried to take over New York."
"I heard a bit about that."
"You went to interrogate me about the incident, remember that?"
"You remember that? I thought you would have forgotten."
"Why would I have forgotten, that's where I first met you."
"Exactly," You whisper sadly. "You don't remember when we first met."
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
"Anyway, please don't downplay my actions. I know they were severe and," Loki hesitated, obviously struggling to say the thoughts out loud. "And monstrous."
You gasped. "You broke a pinky promise. Direct violation of the law!"
Loki let out a small smile at your childishness, but you could tell it still weighed on his thoughts.
"We all make mistakes, you can't kill the past, but you can forge the future. I know that's what everyone says, but you have to believe in it. I think you have the power to do what's right. I know you have it, just believe in yourself ok?" With that, you took his hand in yours and ran out of the garden. "Let's find food, I'm starving!"

A/N: Motivation packed up their bags and left me. I finally watched MoM and I am quite upset. That's an understatement. I literally cried my eyes out. (But also the cut scene....pretty sure it was Satana)
