It had been it a week since Loki had injured himself. Or at least that's what he had been told, he thought it was as Tony put it; A load of bull. He hadn't any real recollection of the incident, only flashes. Why would Loki hurt himself? He hadn't any real reason. If he had fought to escape Odin and his imprisonment, why would he do it? "Hey, Rudolph the green caped sociopath, we're going out, today. So put something nice on."Tony shouted, from across the room, Loki rolled his eyes and strolled back to his room.

Pausing to open his door, Loki looked around his room. It had been cleaned up, when? He had no idea. The room was small, the walls painted a forest green, the floor covered by a large black rug. In on corner he had his bed, only a twin mattress, while he had a dresser filled with his own belongings, or things he took from the Avengers. Walking towards his closet, he began to look for something to wear; then finally he found what he looking for. He grinned, mischievously, the very same grin that earned him the title the god of mischief.


"Okay, Thor. Your sister is taking forever! God…"Clint said, impatiently. He was dressed in simple black t-shirt, a pair of jeanswith a couple holes in them, black boots and a dark gray coat. Natasha was dressed in a sleek black coat, with a pair form fitting jeans and boots. "What's with all the black articles of clothing, guys? You like you're going to a funeral. Besides, we're waiting on Bruce, too."Tony said, wearing only red hoodie, a black Sabbath t-shirt and loose fitting jeans."And you look like some guy that tells children to get in his van, 'because you have candy." Clint replied, with grin and Natasha smiled. "Or he'd say, something like I've got an X-box, want to party?" She said, before she and Clint erupted into a fit of laughter.

"What is this...? X-box you speak of?"Thor said, in bewilderment. "Is it like a bomb?"Steve said, with frown. He wore a brown leather jacket, a pair jeans, a plain white shirt, snow boots. Thor simply wore a flannel shirt, a pair of dark jeans, and sneakers. "Hey, Mc Hammer? What's taking your brother so long-"

"My, My, Don't you all look adorable."Loki said with a smirk, he had a green and black stripped hoodie, with a black t-shirt that hugged his body and boldly had the words written 'I DO WHAT I WANT!' as well a pair of black skinny jeans, and combat boots. "That ass… I've been telling you guys! Alright so, 'Tasha cough it up, you too, Clint." Tony said with a shit-eating smile. "You made a bet over whether; Loki would look good in skinny jeans…?"Steve said a bright flush on his face. Thor looked over Loki, a smile on his face. "I like it. It suits you well, brother."Thor said, and then he saw Loki tense at the word brother. "I-I'd prefer if you refrained from calling me that. I have done nothing to earn that title, and therefore am unworthy."Loki whispered quietly, sadness tainting his soft, almost musical voice.

"Hey, what's with the long face? Just because you gave birth to a horse, doesn't mean should look like one!"Tony said with a bit of smirk, Steve nudged him, hard.

"What was that for, Rodgers?"

"Don't be such a jerk, Stark- Wait, what about a horse?"

"That was a mere rumor, my brother- Um; Loki did not give birth to horse!"

"Yes he did! And you cross-dressed to get your hammer back!"

"Well, at least I do not spend my time worrying whether or I will get as you say; laid, or playing with a chemistry set!"

"That was cold." Clint said, laughing along with Natasha and Loki. Finally, Bruce stomped down stairs, he looked furious."BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP. OKAY?"Bruce shouted, before taking several deep breaths. Everyone was silent, until Loki burst out laughing. "Why, look what you've done, Stark. It appears you are in the dog house. Don't worry, and keep calm…Because, As far as I know, the couch is quite comfortable."Loki said, gleefully.

"W-wait, so like…Bruce and Tony….? WHAT THE HELL MAN! I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE STRAIGHT. I mean I'm completely supportive, but what? Tony, you're a womanizer, or at least supposed to be one!"Clint yelled in shock. "Clint, calm down, Just calm down. Everyone, why don't we go out like we were supposed to…?"Natasha said, calmly. Clint face-palmed and shook his head."You're so conceited, Nat. Just…You're so conceited. "He said, sighing.

Loki grinned."I think you all need a time out."He said, as if he were speaking to naughty children. He then snapped his fingers, and everyone, excluding himself; fell to the floor, asleep.


"YOU ASS, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU. DO YOU HEAR ME, LOKI?"

"Barton calm down-"

"Shut up, Nat."

The whole bar grew silent and everyone at the Avengers' table stared in shock at Clint. Natasha's eyes narrowed at Clint, who flushed with guilt and opened his mouth to apologize, but Natasha beat him to it. " Skazhite, chto yeshche odin raz, vam kusok derʹma!" She shouted, slipping into Russian. "I'm s-sorry, Nat. I let my anger get the better of me, I shouldn't have yelled. Forgive me?"He said, smiling nervously. She nodded, before chugging the rest of her vodka down.

Bruce arched an eyebrow."What did she say to you, Clint?" He said, with a frown. "She said, Say again you piece of shit."Clint mumbled, while Tony, Bruce, Loki, and Thor burst out laughing.

"Play nice, guys. I don't want to have to break up any fights."Steve said, shaking his head in disapproval. "You mean much how you and Son of Coul play nicely?"Loki muttered with a grin, while everyone, but Steve, laughed. In fact Steve's face was as red a tomato. "So, what's Phil like? Is he a screamer?" Tony asked, with a bit of smirk. "I-I, uh, haven't even told him, yet. That i, um, like him."

"What...?"

"chto?"

"Nat, Oh my god! Enough with the Russian please!"

"I would say sorry, but I don't say sorry, Tony."

"I mean, I'd like to… but its wrong isn't it? To be like, you know…"Steve said, dropping his voice into a quiet whisper. "YOU MEAN BEING GAY?"Tony practically shouted, causing Bruce to lay his head on the bar to avoid the many stares that flew in Tony's direction.

"Oh, Things were never this interesting in Asgard, Correct Brother?" Loki said a soft smile on his face, his emerald eyes twinkling, and a slight flush on his cheeks. Thor smiled back, his hand gently moving through Loki's hair."I couldn't help noticing. Your hair is quite long, now, Y-You don't have any plans to cut it, correct?" Thor said, as he pulled his hand away. "Correct. Ehehehe." Loki said, with a bit of laugh, Thor loved his laugh. He wished he would do it more often, it made Loki look beautiful, friendly, and less aggressive.

It was true about Loki's hair, however, It fell about four inches past his shoulders."About Coulson, Steve… I wanted you to know, that I intentionally missed his heart."Loki said, Steve looked at him, almost with since of relief.

"Good to know, then."

"Alright, we all need another round!"Tony shouted, drunkenly, Steve was busy laughing at Natasha's impression of Thor, Bruce had fallen asleep, Clint was doing an impression of Steve's 'muscle envy' towards Thor, while Loki was well, holding hands with Thor under the bar.

If anyone noticed, well, they merely smiled and shrugged it off.


"You will do this."

"I-I don't want to!"

"You shall!"

Loki felt it, the freezing cold. So cold, it began to burn his skin. He could do nothing, but scream and writhe in agony.


Loki jolted awake, covered in a cold sweat. He began to scream, a loud shrill piercing sound. Was nightmare still going on?

No.

Finally the door swung open, Loki suddenly found himself in the arms of one of the very few, who had shown him love. "T-Thor..?"He whispered, quietly afraid to move, incase the nightmare had melted into a dream, he had desperately wanted. "I am here, Loki. Are you alright? I promise to stay with you."Thor murmured, softly into his ear, causing Loki to shiver. "I-I'm fine...You will stay?"Loki whispered, as Thor slipped into his bed and wrapped his arms around him.

"W-What are you-"

"When we children, remember how we would climb into each other's bed, for warmth, or if we were afraid, or just because…?"Thor whispered and Loki nodded. "Then I'll stay with you, to protect you from yourself if I must."

"Thor?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you for being there… when I needed you."

"I'll always be there as long as you need me."

With that, Loki fell asleep. This time he had no nightmares. Instead he dreamt, of the one person, the one that he had laid in their arms, through out the entire night.
