Imagine Loki

An Avengers Christmas

****************************************************
Here's Day 4, since I wasn't feeling well yesterday. There's gonna be a double upload today to make up for that and yeah. Did anyone watch A Pentatonix Christmas Special? I seriously loved it so much! My children have made it!
****************************************************

Tony had told you guys what was going on a week before the cameras and everything started filming. It was that time of the year, when every major TV channel wanted access to the Avengers and a possible Christmas special. Normally, it was Pepper or Maria that got these calls, meaning that the channels got rejected and the Avengers were completely free for the holiday season. But, somehow, they had managed to get ahold of Tony this year, who, of course, was all for the idea. All that meant was trouble for the rest of you.

While everyone in the world already knew of your civilian identity and your hero identity, which sort of came with the job of being an Avenger, there was still the little bit of privacy that you liked having. One of these things included your romantic life, which would be kind of hard to hide with a camera filming what an Avengers Christmas looked like. The reason it would be so hard? You and your boyfriend were both Avengers who lived in the Tower, and you enjoyed being couple-y around the Tower. "I still don't understand why Tony agreed to this," you slightly fumed as you got ready for the day.

"Because it's Tony, dove," Loki told you as he pulled on a shirt. "Everything will be fine, I promise."

"Yeah, yeah, I know," you said with a small smile as he leaned down to kiss you. "The bad guys probably won't be spending their time watching Christmas specials anyways."

"That's my girl," Loki laughed softly. "Now come, I think that the crew is going to be here soon and Tony want to brief us on what's happening." You nodded, holding Loki's hand as the two of you went into the common room.

"Okay, glad to see the lovebirds finally decided to join us," Tony said as soon as you walked in. You flipped him off, Loki settling for rolling his eyes as the two of you sat on one of the sofas. "Alright, that was rude. We're just going over 'appropriate behavior', which is what Maria told me I had to do."

"What Tony is trying to say is is there anything that you guys aren't comfortable with having on television?" Steve spoke, trying to cover Tony's blunder. "(Y/n), Loki, do you want us to keep quiet about you guys?" 

You looked over at Loki, who nodded at you, before speaking. "Yes, please," you said. Loki dragged his thumb over your knuckles, soothing you as your nervousness slightly rose. You just weren't ready to go public with your relationship and get the attention that it would bring. When Natasha and Clint went public (which honestly wasn't needed, everyone already could tell), they had gained so much media attention it was annoying.

"Alright, no one talks about them being a couple, got it?" Steve asked. Everyone nodded, you shooting them a grateful smile. With that, the short meeting was over. Before you knew it, a small camera crew was filing out of the elevator, telling everyone to just act as they normally would to get ready for the holidays. That meant that you immediately went to the kitchen to start with your baking enough to feed a small army, which normally only lasted about a day in the Tower. One of the camera guys followed you into the kitchen, introducing himself as Scott and telling you to just act like he wasn't there after you told the camera what you were doing.

"Alright, so I'm baking stuff to try to last us until Christmas. But the guys really don't let it last that long. I think this is the third time I've tried already," you laughed a bit as you got the ingredients out. You turned on some Pentatonix Christmas music, singing along a bit as you started getting everything ready. The first batch of cookies were ready in no time, leaving you and Scott just talking as the Christmas music played in the background. 

"So, what's your role in the Avengers? We don't really see you as a frontrunner like the rest," Scott asked, recording you.

"Oh, I'm a sniper. I just make sure that everyone else is safe while we're in the field," you told him. It wasn't like you were some secret weapon that nobody was allowed to know about, and if someone really wanted to know what you did, they could just Google it. Natasha made that possible with her whole SHIELD information leak. 

"Oh, that must be fun," Scott said, unsure of what to say in response to that. "So you shoot people and bake things for the most part?"

"Yeah, if you're putting it simply," you replied with a shrug. The timer for the cookies went off then, freeing you from the awkwardness that was the conversation. It continued like that for about a few more hours until the baking was done. You were glad of that, going into the common room to let everyone know that you were finished. You nearly got knocked down as soon as you finished, Loki saving you on your way down and pressing an absent-minded kiss to your head before going into the kitchen as well. You bit down your mild panic when that happened, opting instead to laugh and look over at Scott. "Yeah, they get really excited for the cookies and stuff."

It wasn't until after the camera crew left and the microphones were taken off that you told Loki. You were pacing in your room while Loki was getting ready for bed when you caught his attention. "Dove, what's wrong?" Loki asked, wrapping his arms around you to stop you.

"You kissed my head after I nearly got trampled," you told him. His eyes widened a bit as realization hit him, letting out a small 'oh'. "Yeah."

"Love, I am so sorry, it was just instinct," Loki apologized, kissing you.

"It's fine, I guess we'll just have to see how people interpret it," you replied. "And I guess we're going public after it airs."

"Wait, really?" Loki asked, his eyes lighting up slightly.

"Yeah, I think it's about time, don't you?" You said, a small smile on your face as you looked at Loki. Loki brought you in for a kiss, making you laugh slightly at his excitement.

"You can just get rid of whatever you've gotten me because that is the best Christmas gift my darling," Loki told you, kissing you again.
