"Loki," Percy began, fiddling with the god's fingers. Night was slowly closing in on the pair.

"Hmm...?" Loki hummed in reply, letting the demigod know that he was listening.

"I was doing some research into Norse Mythology the other day..." Percy trailed off, wondering out to phrase his next words.

Loki chuckled. "If you wanted to know more about me, you could've just asked."

"Yeah. I'm not stupid, I know I'm not your first lover, and I know I probably won't be your last." Loki grew quiet, the air around them becoming more serious and sad. Percy didn't have immortality like he did. "I know this won't last forever."

"Where are you going with this?" Loki asked softly.

The two hadn't contacted the Avengers since they were all separated after the final battle with Ultron, and they didn't intend to either. They liked the piece and quiet of solitude in the woods. They had a nice little cabin away from civilisation.

"Well, it's just... you have other children as well. A horse. And a wolf." Percy wasn't trying to make it awkward, or sound judgemental or disgusted, it was merely a peculiar concept to him. Thankfully, Loki understood that. "And according the myths, you gave birth to a horse. So you're both a mother and a father. So riddle me this... so you celebrate just Mother's Day or Father's Day, or both?"

That was not what Loki was expecting.

Nor had he ever actually thought about it. They were Midgardian celebrations that Loki himself was still becoming familiar with.

"Both I suppose." He shrugged. "Does it matter? I get to spend both celebratory days with you anyway." Loki said pulling Percy closer to him under the covers, hogging the demigod's warmth.

"I suppose you do." Percy smiled, not protesting.

Both males were happy, and fell asleep peacefully.
