Hey there guys! Just introducing a new thing that's gotten me ridiculously distracted these days with all the feels and inspiration it gives me. From yours truly, a series of oneshots, some short, some not, inspired by this blog on Tumblr: .frost-iron-headcanons. without the space.

Two days before Christmas...

"What is this?" Loki asked as he lifted up the box under the tree. Tony had only recently explained to the god what Christmas was and why they exchanged gifts. Loki had stared at him for a few minutes before shaking his head and muttering something that sounded suspiciously like "Mortals."

"Ah! Don't shake it," Tony said suddenly as Loki tilted the box down with his ear to it in a long honored tradition when it came to Christmas gifts. Loki glanced at him, smirking just a bit.

"What would happen if I do?" he asked. Tony glared at him, something in his eyes telling Loki that it would definitely not be ok if he shook the box that contained his gift even as a joke. Really, it would only be a little shake. But then he remembered the long hours when Tony had disappeared into his lab, refusing to let anyone in, especially Loki. Normally Loki was the only exception

"You would ruin your present, that's what. After all the time I spent on it too." Tony's expression was edged with hurt. Loki set the box down carefully before reaching for the man and tugging him closer. Pressing a kiss to his forehead, he rubbed Tony's arms soothingly.

"It's alright, I didn't shake it, I promise to not shake it until I open it," Loki said softly. Tony grumbled, then sighed and leaned into the embrace. "It's our first Christmas. I just wanted it to be kind of special."

"It's already special with you here," Loki whispered. Tony jerked his head up before smiling, one of those genuine smiles that wasn't a smirk. It always caused Loki to catch his breath for just a moment. Not able to resist, the god swooped down and claimed Tony's lips in a searing kiss.

After a few seconds in which the billionaire just stood there in shock, he staggered back with a gasp, cheeks just barely flushed pink.

"What was that for?" he sputtered.

"Nothing. Just felt like it," Loki said nonchalantly. For the next two days Loki couldn't stop thinking about what Tony had worked so hard to fit into that box. On Christmas Eve, Loki was especially enthusiastic when he went down on Tony. They both slept well that night.

Christmas morning, Loki is woken up by Tony holding coffee under his nose, a huge smile on his face. "Rise and shine, time to open presents! You know, most gifts are open by now."

Loki raised an eyebrow, still half in whatever he was dreaming, and made an inquisitive sound. "Because I let you sleep in, slow poke. Come on, up and at them."

Loki growled, but swung his legs out of bed anyways, refusing to admit to himself that he was eager to open his presents. The only one he wanted to see was the brightly colored box however. He was fairly sure he knew the contents of all the rest.

Shuffling into the living room, he found Tony sitting on the couch, the tree lit up and presents spread out beneath it. He made his way over to the mortal and sat down beside him. A present was shoved into his hands, with an excited "Open it, open it!" coming from the man beside him. Flicking an amused look his way, Loki nonetheless proceeded to open it, and all the rest that were shoved at him until they reached the box.

Tony paused as he picked it up, his back to Loki. "I hope you like it... if you don't, that's all right, we can always find something else for you," the billionaire said softly. He turned and presented the gift to Loki, who took it with a certain sense of ceremony. Carefully he unwrapped the present, face twisting into a confused expression before lightening as he realized what it was. He was speechless at the care and thoughtfulness that had obviously gone into the gift.

"Tony..." He breathed.

"Don't worry about hurting my feelings if you don't like it," Tony said slowly, expression confused at the silence.

Loki turned to the man, expression surprised. "How could I not like it? It is incredible Tony, I can't believe you'd do this for me," Loki said breathlessly, throwing his arms around his mortal. Tony sighed in relief, and wrapped his arms around Loki.

"Thank god. I was hoping it wouldn't bring back bad memories," Tony said quietly, with a slightly concerned look up at Loki.

The god hummed before answering, "No.. I might not have the greatest memories of the people but Asgard itself.." He picked up the miniature replica of Asgard that Tony had painstakingly worked on for the past few weeks, and peeked through the miniature halls that he had wandered as a child. He knew all the best places to escape to, and smiled at some of the better memories. He turned the miniature palace around, than pointed.

"Here, I hid from Thor after turning all his clothes into dresses. Odin didn't think it was very funny, but Frigga..." Loki's voice softened. "Frigga thought it was funny, so she took my side and defended me."

The god smiled and turned to Tony, pulling him in for a kiss. "Thank you," he whispered softly against his lips. Tony just smirked and just tugged him closer for another kiss. In the future, he would never reveal that he secretly watched Loki play with his new toy through the surveillance system, but he always thought it was heartwarming when he caught him at it.

Gah! Apologies to everyone reading this immediately after it was posted, had a few fixes I found after it was already posted. Hope you enjoyed it! Reviews and suggestions are always welcome :)
