Loki perched on the counter, sipping his green tea. He was lost in his thoughts, the availability of a future. Steve walked into the kitchen, cradling an unseen object in his large arms.
"What is that?" Loki asked as he heard the high pitched keening sounds.
"Oh, hey," Steve said. "It's a kitten." He turned around, and Loki caught sight of the black thing wiggling around in Steve's grip.
"It doesn't look very happy," Loki commented.
"I would assume not. It's injured," Steve held the whimpering kitten up by its stuff. He showed Loki the wound on the back of its heel.
Irrationally, Loki felt a pang of pity for the poor creature. "May I?" He held out his hands.
"Careful, he's a fiesty little devil," Steve cautioned as he handed him over.
The small cat quickly calmed down as he looked up at Loki with large yellow eyes. Loki hushed him as he looked over the wound. He whispered a few words of magic and the cut began to quickly heal.
The black fluff ball immediately began to purr and rub up against the god.
"There, now, little one, you are well," Loki scratched behind its ears.
"He likes you better than he likes me," Steve smiled. "Why don't you keep him?"
Loki thought about it. Even as he did so, the little warm ball of affection was climbing up to sit on his shoulders and bat harmlessly at his hair.
"I like this creature. I think I shall keep him, as you have recommended. Thank you, Cap," Loki smiled sincerely. Steve noticed it made him look much younger, and it was adorable in a way, but still mischievous, just like the damned cat. He thought it best not to mention the scratches the little demon had given him to his new buddy; Loki would probably just laugh anyways.
"What is that?" Thor asked as he came in from the practice ring with Natasha and Bruce. Loki and Steve both had on pink aprons, a black thing was asleep around Loki's shoulders, and the most delicious scent was coming from the oven.
"This is my new baby," Loki walked over to Thor. "This is Achilles. He is a kitten."
"Achilles?" Thor questioned, even as he reached out to pet the animal. It gave him the look like it was barely tolerating him, much like his brother when he was tired. He loved Achilles instantly (Thor had always been partial to animals.).
"It is based off a Greek demigod who died from am injury to his heel. Seeing as how this creature also had said injury when I met him, I figured the name appropriate."
"Clever," Thor chuckled as he kissed his brother slowly. He pulled back when Achilles, affronted, batted at his beard.
"Now now, child, he does that often. You must get used to it," Loki chastised. Achilles just gave out a little huff of hair before hopping onto the counter and settling down to nap there.
"He's definitely yours," Thor teased.
"What is this feeling?" Loki sang under his breath as he opened the oven, taking out a pan. "What is this feeling,So sudden and new? I felt the momentI laid eyes on you. My pulse is rushing. My head is reeling. My face is flushing. What is this feeling? Fervid as a flame, Does it have a name? Yes! Loathing Unadulterated loathing. For your face. Your voice:Your clothing. Let's just say - I loathe it all Ev'ry little trait, however small Makes my very flesh begin to crawl With simple utter loathing There's a strange exhilaration in such total detestation. It's so pure, so strong!Though I do admit it came on fast Still I do believe that it can last And I will be loathing Loathing you My whole life long!"
Everyone stared at the god as his silky voice wrapped around them all, trapping them with show tunes. He ignored the stares when he looked over. "Steve and I made muffins."
"Wicked? Really?" Natasha smiled as she took the food from her friend.
"It's so beautiful, really," he ruffled her hair. She just started off his hand and petted the cat.
"You are so stereotypically gay," she teased. He gave a little bow.
While everyone munched on the delicious blueberryunions, Thor watched Loki carefully.
"I can practically hear your brain working, Thor," Loki rolled his eyes. "Just spit it out."
"I want you to marry me, and rule beside me," Thor announced. Steve began to choke; Tony, who had just walked into the room, walked right back out, Hawkeye jumped with surprise and hit his head in the vents where he was perched; Bruce gulped; Natasha froze.
"Ahh," Loki swallowed the be in his mouth. "Well, that's a lovely offer."
"But?" Thor asked, pulling down his anxiety.
"Who said but?"
"So is that a yes?" Thor got excited.
"That's a 'that's pretty dam sudden. I need some time'."
"Oh..." Thor looked down, embarrassed.
"Oh for Odin's sake, I didn't say no!" Loki groaned. Still, Thor walked out to the balcony alone. It began to rain. Loki ht his forehead. "Dammit."
So there's more Steve, muffins, and a cat. Three more requests down! The lyrics to "What is this feeling?" aren't mine, but I picture Loki singing that to Siff and Jane XD I hope you enjoyed it! Leave a review please!
