Third POV:
Loki Odinson was tired. No, more than tired; he was fed up. His moronic brother, Thor, had forgotten to mention that they were spending the midguardian holiday of 'X-mas' with the Avengers.
Now Loki didn't exactly find the company of the Avengers in the slight bit interesting or fun, quite the contrary. Thor, on the other hand was ecstatic. His view on the midguardian race was one of delight and curiosity. He had learnt a bit of their culture in his previous trips and was most excited by the reunion of himself and his Pop Tarts.
But Loki had only ever visited once and he was quite certain he had made an impression. What with trying to take over the world and all. Not to mention being beaten by the Avengers themselves.
So tonight was going to be one hell of a ride.
Peter's POV
"Kid you are coming back and having dinner with us or i'm taking the suit !"
" Bu-
BEEP
That was rude he can't just hang up! ".
I turned and faced the front door. I can't believe May has to work. But I get it. We're not in the greatest financial situation.
I glance at my phone. If it's 3:00 now I've got 2 and a half hours to get ready for dinner.
We had already given gifts a couple of hours ago and I came back to put the gifts away and get ready for dinner when Mr Stark called.
He said that May was caught up at work then practically forced me to go back for dinner so here we are.
I hopped in the shower did all the washy bits then dried off and put in some black ripped jeans and a jumper that said 'This is my Christmas jumper" on it. I then put on some socks and shoes and checked my phone.
It was 4:30 now and it took like an hour to walk to the subway and get the train so I decided to head out.
Tony's POV
"Thor I invited you, not him."
"You think I want to be here?" He retorted, smugly.
I glared at him.
"Just don't talk to the kid. He's mine and so help me if even one hair on his head is out of place I'll fucking kill you, reindeer games"
" Tony. Language. Also, our kid. "
I frowned.
I glanced down at my watch. He should be here in like 20 minutes.
"All right get your acts together! Steve keep cooking. Clint decorations. Tash Wanda and Bucky, set the table. Rodey and I will tidy up from this morning. Thor you can find the perfect Christmas movie and Loki, don't touch anything. You can I don't know shapeshift or whatever. All right people let's go go go we got 15 minutes."
We all got to work. There was an occasional passing comment of home but we mainly stayed in comfortable silence, knowing that all the work was for the kid who had won all our hearts.
We had all just about finished, with the exception of Steve who was content standing for hours to make the perfect dinner. We all sat down and switched on the TV, settling after a few minutes with Brooklyn 99 playing in the background as we chatted.
"Sir, Peter is in the elevator"
Everyone's eyes lit up and did Clint just squeal?
After what felt like days, the elevator doors slid open and out came Peter with a black Xmas jumper and some ripped jeans.
"Hey guys!"
"Hey Pete" we all chorused, glad to have the ball of energy back in the tower; even if it had only been a couple of ago since they had last seen him.
"Who's the midguardian child?" Came Loki who had seemingly just appeared .
Peter bounded up to him and I flinched.
'If Loki lays a finger on him I swear i- '
My thoughts were interrupted by Peter hugging the monster and saying
"Hi Mr Sir,my name's Peter"
And what I saw was a Christmas miracle.
Loki was smiling.
~~~~~~
Merry Christmas/ Happy New Year/ Happy Hanukkah!
Or none of the above.
Sorry for keeping you waiting.
What did you think?
(Happy won)
