Peter's P.O.V

Clint and I looked at each other a moment more. "Can I have another hug please?" I mumbled.

Clint smiled softly. "Sure."

I rested my chin on his shoulder and closed my eyes. He wrapped his arms around me. I sighed contentedly. We stayed like that, neither of us wanted to move.

One of the Avengers cleared their throat. I opened my eyes and glared at them over my shoulder. Clint let go. He came to stand next to me.

All of the Avengers were tensed up. They probably thought I was going to attack him. Natasha was literally giving me the death-eye. We made eye contact and I realized she liked Clint. The prospect was so hilarious I started laughing. I doubled up and tried my best to stay on my feet.

"H-Here take Loki b-before I drop him!" I gasped out. Clint took him from my arms with an amused expression. When I finally calmed down, I had tears streaming down my face.

"Okay what the hell was that?" Tony asked.

I looked up. "Ask Natasha."

She stood with her mouth open. "Why me?!"

I smirked and walked right up to her. Everyone around her got into battle positions. I leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "I know about your little crush."

I watched, satisfied when her whole face went red. It took a moment but she finally spoke up.

"Why was that funny?"

I winked. Then walked back to stand in front of Clint's door.

"That's not an answer!"

I ignored her and instead turned to Clint. "How is he still asleep?"

Clint shrugged. "Magic?"

I snorted. "Right. Want me to put him to bed and check on Bucky?"

"Sure."

"Hey wait a minute!" Tony interjected, "I'm not finished with you two!"

I spun around and snapped. "What else is there to say? We're not hurting Clint or anyone else by staying here. Plus you can keep an eye on us easier here so why are you complaining? Do you want us to leave and go terrorize people?"

Tony mumbled something.

"What was that?" I asked, knowing full well what he said. Super hearing remember?

"No."

"Good."

Clint slipped Loki into my arms. I turned towards the door. Clint opened it and we both entered.

Bucky was surprisingly still asleep.

"I thought he would've woken up from all of the yelling," I commented.

"Right?" Clint said.

I walked into the room Loki and I were sharing. I placed him on the bed and took out his earplugs. I was about to leave but he whispered something in his sleep.

"Stay."

I smiled softly. I sat in front of his bed and leaned my head on the mattress. I watched the door as if guarding Loki from nightmares. After a bit Clint came in. He came and sat next to me. I tugged nervously at my long sleeves. We sat in awkward silence until Clint finally spoke up.

"Whenever you were so small," Clint said in a baby voice, "You fell asleep. And Loki was watching you. But I saw him look a little closer at you and he looked like he was going to throw up."
