Final Chapter

NOTES:

Well, my fellow Midgardians, here it is. The final chapter...

I truly hope you will enjoy it. :)

'Here we are!' Aunt May said excitedly as she stopped the car. 'You want me to help you with your bags? They look kinda heavy.'

Peter looked out of his window to the tall buildings on the campus, towering into the morning sky. 'Uh, I think I'm good, May, thanks,' he said genuinely as he stepped out of the car and started to collect his luggage.

'Okay, but remember to text me, and make sure you do your homework, also, don't forget to do your laundry, and-'

'I will, I will,' Peter interrupted her, a sigh escaping through his smile.

'Oh! Look at you!' May cried out as she got out of the car and hugged him. 'My little nephew, going to college!'

'Yeah, uhm, thanks for the ride, May, really,' the teen said as he tried hold on to his bags, his gaze shifting towards a group of third-years who were giggling as they passed by.

'You're welcome, Pete,' his aunt replied lovingly and she pressed a long kiss on his cheek.

'May! Come on!' He laughed as she would not let go of him. 'I have a reputation now, or not yet, I'm working on it. I have to think about my image!'

'Okay, okay,' May sighed, letting go of her nephew. She gave him a last wave goodbye before stepping into her car, only to drive away as Peter disappeared through the large front gate of the university. Just when he thought he was on his own, he heard a car honking behind him and saw his aunt waving excitedly before she drove off.

'Let's see...' the teen mumbled to himself as he took the key to his room out of his pocket. '117A...' he sighed as he walked around the campus again, only to find his room at the far end of one of the corridors. He stopped in front of a light oaken door, his heart pumping loudly in his chest as he held out his key, wondering whether his roommate would already be in.

He took a deep breath, deciding to knock on the door just to be sure. As he heard no response, he walked in. He looked at the two empty beds, one on each side of the room, both accompanied by a small drawer and a simple desk. 'It's... nice?' Peter asked aloud as he placed his bags on one of the beds. 'Yeah, this, this is great. It'll work, I'm sure.' He sighed, and turned towards one of the closets, staring into the mirror that was attached to the door. He tried to adjust a lock of his hair which kept falling into his face and wondered if he should wait for his new roommate or go explore the campus.

'Your hair is flawless, love.'

Peter nearly jumped out of his skin, wondering who could sneak up on him without making his spider-senses ring in alarm. He turned around, his eyes widening as he stared into bright emeralds which were hidden in the shadowy corner of his room. 'Lokes...?'

'Surprise~,' the trickster smirked. 'Missed me?'

Peter blinked his eyes, wondering how the god managed to get to the campus. Loki did not have his driver's license and neither did he own a car, so unless he was joyriding, there was no way the raven could have made it here on his own. Someone could have brought him, but then he would not be standing here alone.

Peter finally smiled as he started to understand how it was possible for him to see his boyfriend standing in front of him. 'Missed you? After our emotional goodbye yesterday?' The teen tried to shrug indifferently. 'Meh, a little,' he chuckled. 'So, what do you think?'

'This is rather... different. I-in a good way, I suppose.' Loki gazed around the small room. 'Is this where you will be residing the coming years?' he asked hesitantly.

'Yup.' The teen nodded as he dropped onto his bed, making the springs creak heavily in protest.

'It is, sufficient, yes, that is the word I was looking for,' the raven concluded, nodding as he crossed the room in five steps.

The teen stared after the god for a moment, his head slightly tilted. 'Your Seiðr's really good, you know?'

'I know,' the god remarked confidently, though he turned around with a surprised look on his face. 'And what makes you say that, might I ask?'

'It's just, when you walk around, it actually sounds and looks like you're here,' Peter scoffed as he crossed his legs upon the bed, his back pressed against the wall. 'Though of course you're n-'

The trickster did not grand the teen any chance to finish his sentence. He leaned over and kissed his boyfriend's lips, his hands resting on his cheeks. 'I am here,' he whispered.

'B-but... how?' was the only thing Peter managed to stutter.

'Well, being as skilled as I am, I managed to master the art of teleportation.' The trickster was not able to keep his cool composure for long and laughed as he stared at the teen's confused face. 'No, love, I actually took all the effort of using Midgard's public transportation system.' As Peter still stared at him with wide eyes Loki sighed. 'The bus, Peter. I took the bus.'

'No way! Seriously?!' The teen laughed and shook his head. 'His royal highness, Prince of Asgard, on a bus?' He chuckled and pulled the raven against his chest. He wrapped his arms around the trickster's slim waist, butterflies fluttering wildly in his stomach as a beaming smile formed on his face. 'I'm so proud of you,' he nuzzled his hair, pressing kissing into the raven locks which were scented with exotic oils.

'Glad to hear you appreciate it.' Loki's lips curled into a smile at the teen's contagious laughter. He sat up straight again and looked the teen in the eye before pressing his lips against those of Peter, the fervent kiss leaving the teen breathless.

Peter moves his hands through the trickster's hair, coiling lose locks around his fingers. He closed his eyes, wanting to breathe in his boyfriend's scent but his spider-senses forced his eyes wide open again and he peered at the door.

At that moment, they heard a key turning in the lock and they both looked up in silent bewilderment, Loki quickly moving from the teen's lap and onto the bed. The door opened, revealing a pile of bags, held up, so it seemed, by a random set of arms and legs. Peter jumped up from the bed and stared at the alien creature.

'Uh, hey,' Peter started as he stood up. 'You, uhm, you need a hand there?'

'PARKER?!' a voice cried out and the pile of bags were dropped to the floor, revealing the young man behind.

'FLASH?!' Peter asked with a similar air of shock.

'You've gotta be kidding me!' the teen carelessly dropped his whatever bags he had left in his arms on his bed, a smirk on his face.

'I wished I was,' Peter sighed. 'But, you know what? It's cool, this isn't high school, you know, it's a fresh start.'

'Once a loser…' Flash sighed, but Peter interrupted him.

'Come on, dude, I'm tired of that. Just... We have to live here, okay? For a while probably, so let's at least give it a try.'

'Oh, don't worry,' Flash grinned. 'I will-' he then looked past Peter, only now noticing the trickster's deadly glare as he was still seated on the bed. 'Who's that guy?'

'Uh...' Peter froze as he tried to think of an explanation.

'I'm a friend from the Stark Internship,' Loki quickly cut in with a sympathetic fake smile. 'The name's Odinson, Lars Odinson.'

'Okay... Weird name.' Flash shrugged. 'Does Stark have a thing for oversee internees?' A frown became visible on the teen's face as he asked this and he looked closer at the trickster's eyes.

'Well, I am from Queens,' Peter commented shortly, but Flash did not even seem to hear him.

'Uh, this might sound a bit weird, but do you have a sister?' the teen asked as he looked the trickster up and down.

A dark smirk formed on the trickster's face, causing Peter's heart to pump loudly in his chest. He knew that smile and he knew those mischievous eyes that matched so perfectly. This could not end well. 'As a matter of fact, I do.' The raven tilted his head slightly back, haughtily looking down on Flash. 'Why do you ask?'

'Well, you kinda remind me of this friend of Peter's, uh, Meya? We met at prom and she was kinda cool, you know. I thought I saw some resemblance between the two of you, but probably not.'

Peter looked with wide eyes at his boyfriend and quickly intervened as he saw the god's sharp eyes gleam. 'No! Nope, they're unrelated. That would just be too weird, right?' He let out a nervous laugh.

'Yeah, true that,' Flash chuckled and he sighed. 'Parker, maybe we could go to the information desk and ask if one of us can switch rooms? It's not that I have anything against you or something, but, yeah, I have to think about my reputation, you know?'

'... Yeah,' Peter smiled through clenched teeth. 'You're right, we should switch.'

'Cool, let's go,' Flash said relieved, but as he walked towards the door and Peter made no attempt of moving, he looked at the two guys. 'So? You coming or what?'

Peter looked at his boyfriend, a sigh following as he saw the god's highly amused smirk. 'Yeah, coming.' He nudged Loki in his ribs before following Flash down the corridor and towards the registration desk.

'Young sir, there is nothing I can do for you,' an old man explained to another student as he pushed his glasses closer to his eyes. 'I can't switch rooms around just like that, you know?'

'But sir, he ransacked my backpack and shut me out of the room!' the young man tried desperately. 'I don't want-'

'Sorry, you'll just have to live with it. Now move, you're holding up the line,' the grumpy man gestured him to move with a wave of his hand, his eyes hidden behind a dark pair of sunglasses, his moustache merely showing a moody mouth.

Peter frowned heavily as he looked at the man. The sunglasses, the mustache, even his voice left him to believe he had seen the man before, sometime. But as he could not for the life of him remember where, he just turned his attention towards the young man who had a defeated look on his face. 'You're looking for a different room?'

'Yeah,' the student sighed, now turning towards Flash and Peter. 'My roommate and I aren't exactly a match. I was reading Harry Potter and he literally picked me up and shoved me into a closet, proclaiming that I was now his house elf.'

'Well, I could give you a sock, if that helps?' Peter chuckled, happy to see a smile forming on the teen's face.

'That prank actually sounds hilarious.' Flash laughed as he looked at the two. 'Could have been mine.'

The three then looked up at the grumpy man sitting behind the counter, who sighed deeply. 'Alright, fine, fine. Exchange keys, get your things and move to the other room. But I'm warning you, I cannot change this in the system until the end of this week, so until then your name is Flash Thompson and you are Harry Osborn, at least until Friday.'

'Works fine for me,' Harry smiled. 'Everything's better than staying with that cave troll.'

'I won't die of a dorkish name,' Flash agreed with a shrug. 'I'll just go get my stuff, be right back. It was nice seeing you, Losers.' He turned on his heel, marching back to get his bags as he could not wait to meet his new roommate.

'Yeah,' Harry mumbled. 'Thanks?'

'Just ignore him, worked out fine for me,' Peter chuckled.

'I can see that,' Harry sniggered. 'That's why you were asking for a different room, right?'

'Yeah, we just... we don't really have a lot in common, let's just keep it at that.'

'Say no more,' the student nodded in understanding. 'I'll go get my things, be right back.'

Peter waited for his new roommate to return and they walked back to their room together. 'Okay, so, in my first year of high school, Flash actually stole my clothes during P.E., so I had to walk around in my sweaty sports shorts all day... I still don't know where he hid them, though.'

Harry shook his head as he laughed. 'A true mystery, Pete, we will never know.' He waited patiently for his new roommate to open the door and followed him inside. 'Okay, if you think that's bad, then hear this, when I was-' he suddenly broke of his sentence and looked at a pale, raven-haired man, who was sitting on the desk chair, quietly reading one of Peter's books on advanced quantum physics.

'Uh... there's... three of us?' Harry asked surprised.

'Yeah, no, this is, uhm, Lars, he's a friend of mine,' Peter cleared his throat, only now gaining the god's attention.

'I see your trade was a success,' the raven spoke calmly as he looked at the two. 'I say it is already an improvement over that Flash.'

'Thanks,' Harry smiled. 'Nice to meet you, Lars. I'm Harry.'

'You can call me Loki,' a smirk formed on the god's face as he saw his boyfriend's shocked expression. 'it is a sobriquet.' Loki quietly closed the book as an awkward and uncomfortable silence filled the room. He got on his feet, straightened his black jeans and smiled. 'Well, it was very nice to meet you, Harry, but I should be going. Peter, will I be seeing you later?'

'Wait up, I'll walk you to the bus stop,' Peter said quickly. 'I'll be right back, Harry.'

The two left the student to his own devices and strolled slowly over the campus.

'Thanks for coming to visit me, Lokes,' Peter said softly, his hands buried in his pockets as they approached the bus stop.

Loki looked up with a smile and nodded briefly. 'Yes, well, I do not know how often I will be able to visit, since Fury actually scheduled some missions for me.'

'Wait, does that mean-'

'You are dating an official Avenger,' Loki smirked, striking a casual yet heroic pose. 'Quite so.'

The teen laughed loudly. 'I'm just so starstruck. I think I'm gonna faint.'

'Do not worry, I will save you, random citizen,' Loki cried as he caught the young man in his arms. 'Do you feel safe now?'

'Never felt so safe in my life,' the teen laughed, wrapping his arms around the trickster's waist. 'Really though, we should celebrate some time, this is really amazing, Lokes. Congratulations!'

'Thank you. Yes, we should,' Loki agreed enthusiastically, but as he saw that they had reached the bus stop, his smile faded somewhat. 'You will be visiting from time to time, right?'

'Why?' the teen smirked. 'You gonna miss me?'

'No, but Anthony and Steven just might,' Loki retorted with a wide smirk.

'Oh, come on,' Peter poked the raven between his ribs, causing the god to flinch. 'You'll miss me. Admit it.'

'If you keep poking like that, you are going to start your year of college without that finger,' Loki muttered sinisterly, which caused the teen to stop. 'I will miss you, Peter,' the trickster added softly, a slight smile on his face as he averted his eyes to the ground.

'Yeah, I'm gonna miss you too.' The teen then held on to the raven's hand, letting their fingers intertwine. 'I promise I'll visit as often as I can.'

'Likewise,' Loki replied, pressing the hand softly before letting it go as the bus was approaching. 'Well, this is goodbye, I suppose. But we'll-'

Peter suddenly wrapped his arms around the raven's neck. 'Don't say it like that, Lokes.' He managed to chuckle. 'Such a drama queen.'

'Of course,' the raven chuckled, 'I talk too much.' He leant forward, placing a soft kiss on his boyfriend's mouth.

NOTES:

Hey everyone, Madame Edna here! (Missboaboa's co-writer)

First of all, congratulations to making it to this chapter! Like holy smokes so many things happened in the story! Thank you all so much for your support! You were A-MA-ZING! Although I have not responded to your comments as often as I would've liked, I can tell you I read them all and they really warmed my heart and/or put a smile on my face, in short: they were so appreciated! Without you awesome people I don't think this fic would have become what it is now, a freaking fanfic trilogy of epic proportions! XD Seriously, your support and questions and speculations about what would happen next were so amazing, thank you again so much! I wish you all the best and I hope you have enjoyed reading this story as much as we loved writing it!

With love,
Madame Edna

Hi, this is Missboaboa,

Like Madame Edna already said, I would like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. I completely agree with each word written by my co-writer so I won't repeat it, I just want to say, again, thank you. For this amazing journey.

As you can already imagine, this after story opens the doors to a whole lot of other adventures and possibilities to write about! Will Loki also go to college to be with Peter? Will he be a student or a teacher? Will we be seeing Meya again? Well, for now, we have decided to stop writing for this fic, FOR NOW, anyway…

It pains me to see this story end, but it also brings a very bright and warm smile to my face. 😊

I will keep on writing Marvel fanfics, so, who knows, maybe I will see you again in some other story.

As for now, I would like to thank you all and wish you all the very best!
