Christmas is coming up so I thought I would do a festive one-shot. Hope you enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Peter walked down the stairs and into the living room, flames blazed in the fireplace, filling the room with warmth. He looked over to the various couches and armchairs around the room, haphazardly arranged in a circle. Steve, Bucky and Nat sat on a couch, Wanda and Vision were close together on the carpet, Tony and Pepper were near the gigantic Christmas tree which was festooned with glowing lights and tinsel, Peter could see a mountain of presents placed underneath. Clint was talking to Pietro while Thor and Loki were laughing over one of the stories from their past. Peter moved over to them and sat listening to their tales of Asgard. Tony came over and gave him a cup of steaming hot chocolate.

"Here you are kid."

Tony was about to move away again when Peter tugged on his sleeve and pulled him down for a hug. The man looked surprised but then brought him closer and locked him in a tight embrace.

"Thanks Dad, I love you" Peter said, looking at him.

Tony smiled back at him, his eyes reflecting the warmth of the fire.

"I love you too Pete."

He then walked back and sat with Pepper again, though he was still smiling at Peter. After Thor had moved to talk with Steve, Loki looked over to Peter and leaned down, speaking through the laughter and chatter.

"Am I doing everything right? This is my first Christmas on Midgard."

"Wait, you've never celebrated Christmas before?"

"No I have not."

Peter got up and asked Pietro to play a song on his guitar. As he strummed out the first few bars of 'Jingle Bells', everyone began to sing along, to be honest it didn't sound that good, but they all looked happy. 

He nudged Loki, "Come on, you have to sing along as well."

"Alright then."

Soon enough the god of mischief was going along with the rest of them and the tower echoed with their slightly off-pitch singing. After the song had finished they decided to open presents and passed the ones underneath the Christmas tree to who they belonged to. As soon as Tony had given the word, they all started ripping through the wrapping paper. 

Nat got a new gun, Loki got twin silver knives with gleaming golden handles, Clint got some new arrows, Thor got a barrel of mead, Bucky got magnets to stick on his metal arm, Pepper gave Tony a ugly sweater which he would be forced to where around the compound and someone had got Steve a card with bad language in it and he looked around the room in disapproval, trying to find the culprit. Wanda and Vision were in the process of opening a gift from Pietro which exploded with a bang and sprayed glitter and confetti everywhere, Clint gave him a hi-five. 

Tony walked over to Peter and gave him a key.

"This is to your own lab, I know you have been working in the intern ones and I thought that it's time you got your own private workspace."

He jumped up and nearly toppled Tony over with a hug.

"Thank you!!!!!"

"I've gotten something for the spider-child as well."

Everyone turned to Loki as he brought out a short black sheath that obviously had a knife in it. He handed it to Peter.

"This is so that you can stab your enemies, like that mean kid at your school."

"Thanks uncle Loki!"

Tony stared dumbstruck at the god as Peter unsheathed the knife and laughed happily.

"What did you just give him?"

"A knife."

Loki looked over to Peter who was whispering 'run' just as Stark came at him yelling.
