Presents Under the Tree (Fluff)

Loki is like Peter's uncle. They are very close. To the point, they say they love each other.

Several characters are trans. Loki is gender fluid. Peter is a trans guy.

3rd person pov:

When Loki first met Peter. He loved how kind he was. Peter didn't judge them for what they had down in the past. Like the rest of the team. Except for Bruce and Thor.

They were skeptical about Loki staying with them. They were walking on eggshells. Scared that at any moment Loki would turn against them.

But Peter was the exception. He didn't care. Loki was someone with feelings. He wasn't going to hurt them. So he made a chart to show how mad Loki was. He was delighted when Loki used it daily. If Loki was in the low numbers it was a good day. But if they were above a six Peter was there. He was one of the few who would be able to calm him down.

Loki swore if he had to, he would kill everyone on the planet and then himself for Peter. Over time their bond with each other grew.

But lately, Peter has been acting a little off. It all started when Peter barged in with a bullet in his shoulder. The poor boy was shot after stopping a robbery. When he was just trying to get some groceries.

Loki was in the lab when it happened. Bruce had gone out for a while. So Loki calmed Peter down and tried to get him out of the suit. Peter fought with Loki. He didn't want to, he was thrashing in Loki's hold.

Loki hated to do it but threatened to use his magic. To get it off. Peter finally was convinced to at least slide it down. Just so Loki could access the damage. Peter wiggled out of his suit. When he did he had a strange piece of clothing across his chest. Loki saw how fearful Peter was. When he looked upon it. So he didn't question it. Only helped get the bullet out. Healing it and dragged Peter to bed.

His behavior reminded him of a friend from long ago. How Peter would hide his body in loose clothing. Not wanting anyone to see under his suit if he got hurt. The clothes that were across Peter's chest were similar to them. To something, he made for others. But he didn't want to assume anything. Or make Peter uncomfortable in any way. So he didn't ask Peter about it. But he had a feeling about what's bothering the boy.

Loki's suspicion was confirmed when he overheard a phone call. He was about to announce himself when he was close to Peter's room. But stopped when he heard Peter talking to someone.

"Ned guess what. They invited me and Aunt May to come over for Christmas."

Then there was some mumbling over the phone. Until Peter spoke again.

"Yeah, I think I might come out to them. I think I will have the courage since Aunt May will be with me. I just don't know how they will react. I don't want them to look at me differently. I'm scared of what they will think of me. Knowing that I'm transgender."

When he heard that Loki teleported into Bruce's lab. Startling the scientist at his sudden action. He asked him about the term. Bruce gave him a crash course of the LGBT+ community. Loki learned a lot that day, and a couple of things came into view. His life made a lot more sense.

When Christmas day came Loki had a gift specially made for Peter. With the help of Bruce. Their gifts were the ones that meant the most.
