Centuries being left alone and exploited left Y/n feeling cold hearted and empty. After being recruited by the Avengers she felt some pride, finally at home. And she was determined to break down the Trickster God's icy facade she knew all too well.
...
Loki poked at the food, watching it with a suspicious glare. The silverware he used glinted against the dim warm lights everyone ate under. Chatter filled his ears, irritating them as the conversation became dull and barbaric.
Food was flung half way through only to be stopped by Natasha. You being the overseer of the short war.
"Ok, it's time," Peter grins at you. Bells appear in front of the two soldiers and gods. The look of confusion on Loki's face made you smile.
"It's a game we play about pop culture, get these three up to date, and considering you've just come to earth, you can participate,"
"A game?"
"More so a competition," Thor booms. "Loki has never once failed a competition of smarts,"
"Intelligent material, not barbaric information," Loki snarls.
"Down here street smarts is just as important as academic smarts," you take out your phone and scroll through the questions you and Peter have chosen.
"Very well then, how hard could this be?"
"First question: how many times has Ross Geller been divorced?" The first ding rung.
"Twice," Thor says proudly though he frowned when you shook your head which meant Cap was next.
"Three times?"
"Good job, Mr Rogers!" A point was given when the next question was asked. "How many Harry Potter movies are there?"
Bucky rung his bell. "8,"
"What? No, it's seven!" Thor roars.
"They split the last book into two movies," you give the point to Bucky. "Ok, who's the sexy vampire brother on Vampire diaries?"
"Damn Salvatore!" Steve shouts after ringing his bell.
"So you think Damon is sexy?" Steve's blush made you grin. "Guess you do have a thing for brooding boys with dark hair," you cough.
"And you don't?" Wanda teases.
"You have a thing for a red easy bake oven, you don't get to criticise my taste in men," you shoot at the witch who jumps at the hostility. "But an extra point to Steve for picking the right brother,"
Points were given out back and forth as Loki sat confused at the language. Anger grew in the pit of his stomach because for once he was beaten on trivia, even though it was on a society he had only ever threatened war upon.
"Times up! Tonight's winner is..." everyone creates a drumroll.
"Steve!" Peter announces making everyone clap. A scowl deepens on Loki's face which you caught.
"Cheer up, Lokes, I'll help you prepare for the next time we play,"
"I'll be fully prepared without your pitiful help,"
"Alright then, suit yourself," you take a sip of your beer before. "Excuse me," leaving to throw away your empty bottle a cake appears above Natasha's head as everyone turns to you with scared looks. Green and purple frosting dropped on Nat who stood up abruptly.
"Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets!" Thor yells.
"10 points to Gryffindor!" You howl before dashing out onto the balcony where Nat followed with her gun ready. "No weapons at the dinner table, Nat!" She fired two shots which you dodged.
"Where is she going?" Loki looked to Peter who had annoyed him least that evening.
"Oh don't worry she always does this, after every game Y/n re-enacts a scene from a movie and targets someone in the group,"
You hoist yourself up onto the railing and look back to Nat who was reloading her gun. "This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!" Another shot was fired and you jumped off the ledge with a salute.
Loki seemed to be the only one to run to the edge. "Where did she go?"
"Aw, were you concerned?" Loki spins to you sitting on the railing behind the group.
"Only for the people who would have to scrape your body from the pavement," Loki scoffs.
"I'm honoured, now who's up for dessert?" You swipe a finger across The pudding on Nat's shoulder. "You taste just as good as you look,"
"Want to double check, darling?~" Nat coos which makes you stumble over your words with the darkest blush in all nine realms.
"Don't-" you glare and cover your burning face. "I hate you with every fibre in my body,"

Knocking thrice on his door, Loki opened it and stared down at you.
"How may I help you?"
"Just wanted to know how you were settling in," peaking around into his room you saw it almost untouched. "Did you not like the choice of books?"
"Not exactly... worthy of my time,"
"Just try reading one, I recommend the Harry Potter series, there should be the whole collection at the top,"
"Is this the same aforementioned Harry Potter?"
"You betcha,"
He thought for a moment. "Very well, I may consider it,"
"Well, glad I convinced you... somewhat," you step back and smile. "Goodnight, Loki,"
"Goodnight, Lady Y/n,"
