The adorable Spider-Man (who is misunderstood by everyone)

6 - Oh, since when do we have two puppies?

"Should I really...?"

Peter was standing in front of the Avengers Tower. He wasn't sure if Loki really wanted him to come, he said so, right? But he was also the god of Mischief. To Peter Loki hasn't seem like he would do something like that to him, but he wasn't so sure now.

It wouldn't hurt to just look inside, right?

If he wasn't invited he would just go back outside again, without any struggle and... if he WAS invited, then maybe, just maybe, he would get to see a bit more of the tower.

Well, he would just try.

With that resolve Peter went inside. But there he just got nervous again. But this time, he just went to a receptionist without thinking too much about it. His only hope was, that he could get the words out.

"Uhm... hel-lo, hello, I wanted to... um.. I was invited by... um... Loki..."

His blush gradually got more intense. At least he got out what he wanted to say.

The receptionist raised one eyebrow, but Peter could see a small smile, that was nearly undetectable.

"Name?"

Peter's brain shut off.

"Uhm, what?"

Now the receptionsist's smile grew a bit and he rolled his eyes.

"I need to know your name."

"Oh, haha, it's ... it's Peter Parker, um, sir."

The receptionist nodded and tapped something in his Computer. Probably his name or something.

Then his eyes widened.

"Oh, you were actually invited by Loki. I thought you were just pranking me."

Now it was Peter's turn to widen his eyes.

"What? No, no, I would never do that! But I also wasn't sure if he was really serious about inviting me, so it could've been possible that I wasn't on any list or I don't know where you saw that I am really invited, so..."

Peter's rambling was interrupted by the quiet laugh of the receptionist.

"It's ok! You don't have to worry about something like that. We are used to the Avengers inviting someone and not being serious about it or forgetting to let us know. It's just that this is the first time that LOKI invited someone. Also, Loki was informed of your arrival just now so he should be here in any moment..."

Just then Loki appeared right next to Peter making him jump. Loki just grinned at that and the receptionist looked even more surprised but then looked understanding and nodded in Peter's direction.

"Well, there he is. I'll let you be then. Have fun!"

"Thank you."

When he turned to look at Loki he saw in his peripherals that nearly everyone was looking at them making him nervous again. Peter shrank under all the gazes.

Loki seemed to realize and glared at the onlookers. Then he gave him a side hug and started walking, not giving Peter any room to run away. Not that he would've ran away. He was way too stunned and already in Fanboy mode.

In the elevator Peter could finally breathe again. He didn't even know he was holding his breath.

Loki let go of him and looked at him with well hidden concern.

"You ok?"

Peter just nodded at first, so he could regulate his breathing to a normal rythm.

"Yeah. Sorry about that."
