Chapter 4

Peter's POV

I wake up in Loki's arms, smiling. His arms are looser than they were when I fell asleep, but it is still the safest I have ever felt. I just lay there for a good five minutes before I heard someone come in the door. I scramble up, trying to make out who it is by the light of my alarm clock.

"It's me, don't worry." Auntie Tasha steps out of the darkness. "Steve made pancakes. You might want to get some before Thor gets there. You two are adorable, by the way." She walked out, and I can almost envision her smirk.

I gently shake Loki awake. "Loki." He does nothing. Damn it, I forgot he was not a morning person. "Breakfasts ready and we need to beat Thor there."

This gets him up. 'We have to beat Thor in what?"

I laugh and pull him out of bed. "Just to breakfast. Let's go!"

The car ride home is great. Loki was insitive on teaching me to speak Asgardian. That way, he said, so long as Thor wasn't there, we could talk. Like, truthfully talk.

When we got home, I told FRIDAY to tell Loki, not my parents if I was triggered or had a nightmare. Then Loki did something... unexpected.

He created a list of all my trigger words. And all the tones and volumes that made them worse. He figured out exactly how to help me, creating a perfect system, as well as talking to Natasha about ways to get me out of the room so he could help me before I broke down without it being suspicious. He also left an anonymous list of my trigger words on the kitchen counter.

The next year was one of the best of my life. I was less and less affected by my PTSD, turned 16, and maybe lost my virginity. Maybe.

One of the highlights was when MJ figured out I was dating Loki. Here's how.

"You were wearing more black and green, and those are Loki's colors. A change in appearance often means that you are trying to please someone or something. This implied you were dating or had met someone you wanted to impress. So I thought of all the people that you might have been able to meet who liked black and green.

One day a few days after your sixteenth birthday you complained your butt was sore, impling that you were dating someone and it was a boy. So I crossed all the girls off my list.

Then a black dog with green eyes followed you to school, implying that they either had a highly trained dog or magic. So I crossed everyone worth out one of these two things off my list.

Finally, you were even more worried that your bruises from being bullied weren't healing fast enough, so I decided that you had a new person that cared about you that was more observant than the rest of your family.

So that led me to believe it was Loki. He is a boy, he likes green and black, he's very observant, if he's dating you he probably cares about you, and he can do magic and shapeshift. Hence I was led to Believe you were in a relationship with Loki." MJ explained to me proudly. Ned, of course, was oblivious. I later found this in her notebook.

Damn, this girl is observant, how did she even know about that boy in the green jacket from the guide dog place? And Gamora? How does she know who she is? I've mentioned her what, twice?

I told Loki after school that day and he was a strange mix of impressed and worried.

But that amazing paradise ended about four months before my seventeenth birthday. I was sitting on my bed with Loki, smiling. He pulled me into his lap and gave me a kiss. Long one. About halfway through my door opened. I slowly turned around. "Hi Auntie Tasha! What is I-"

It wasn't Auntie Tasha. It was Dad. Fuck.

He stood ther for a second, as if very confused before screaming "WHAT THE FUCK IS GONING ON HERE?!"
