"Loki, come on. Wake up," you told your sleeping boyfriend as you shook him.

"(Y/n), what are you doing? It's barely... eight in the morning," Loki asked groggily, checking the time on his phone.

"Well, I need to go get presents for everyone and you're coming with me," you told him. "Now come on, go get ready. I'm trying to get there before the rush of last minute Christmas shoppers."

"But aren't you one of them?" Loki asked, throwing an arm over his face.

"Yes I am, and so are you. Wake up," you told him. He made no attempt to move. "Okay, you asked for it," you said, getting off of the bed. You walked over to the bathroom and filled up a small bucket with cold water. When you got back, you saw that Loki was still sleeping, so with a shrug you threw the water onto him.

"What the hell?!" Loki yelled as he shot up.

"You weren't listening to me. Now, go get ready," you told him, walking out of the room.

Twenty minutes later, Loki walked into the living room wearing a gray hoodie and a pair of jeans. "Well, let's go," he said, still grumpy about the rude awakening.

When you arrived at the mall, you were lucky that only a few kids recognized the two of you as Avengers. They easily kept it under wraps when you put a finger up to your lips in a gesture for them to stay silent.

"Okay, so first we need to get Nat and Clint their gifts. I was thinking maybe a new quiver and set of arrows for Clint and a set of throwing knives for Nat," you said as the two of you walked into the sporting goods store. You had to purchase the items separately so that the guy behind the counter didn't get suspicious, but in the end it worked out.

"Clint and Nat are done, next are Tony and Pepper. Can you go down to the tech store to get their gifts and Thor and Jane's? I need to go to the book and then music store to get gifts for Bruce, Steve, and Bucky," you told him, handing him the paper with what to get.

"I suppose so. Where should I meet you if I finish before you?" Loki asked, taking the list out of your hands.

"Food court, and I expect a (favorite soda)," you joked. "No, but seriously, meet me in the food court. I'll see you in like half an hour." Loki nodded, pecking your cheek before heading off to the tech store.

"Okay, time to get Loki's gift," you said once Loki was out of sight. You went over to the book store, ready to get a leather bound copy of Shakespeare's complete works, which Loki had been eyeing the last time the two of you came here. After retrieving that, and a copy of Norse mythology as a joke, you went to get some books on nuclear physics. Even though Bruce was a genius in nuclear physics, he still couldn't get enough of the books on the topic.

Fifteen minutes later you found yourself in the music store, unsure of what to get Steve and Bucky. You knew that Sam had suggested they listen to Marvin Gaye, but you weren't sure what else they might like. You grabbed the Marvin Gaye Greatest Hits CD before sending a text asking Sam for some help on this one. Finally, the two of you decided on getting Bucky the Rocky movies.

"Okay, Loki, we get everything?" You asked as you walked up to him in the food court another twenty minutes later.

"I believe so. What did you end up deciding on for Steve and Bucky?" Loki asked, handing you a cup of (f/soda).

"Thank you. And a Marvin Gaye CD and the Rocky movies," you told him.

"I've never seen those movies," Loki told you, gathering his bags.

"Well then, when we get home you're watching them," you said, walking beside him as you went to leave the mall.

"I have to admit, the Christmas shopping wasn't as crazy as I imagined," Loki told you.

"And you wanted to sleep in. We would've been caught with the crazy ones," you scoffed. Loki rolled his eyes as the two of you got in the car, ready to head home.
