Rating: K+
Genre: Family
Timeline: It happens about a year after Halloween fun.
A/N: I'm posted them in the order I originally posted them. This means that the holidays will be going by fast and won't be sticking to their own seasons. This also means Christmas will be up in a few days and then back around. Don't worry, it will get back around again to Halloween soon, hopefully, before Halloween. I'm trying to post either 1 or 2 parts a day. I'm going to be posting two Thanksgiving posts today FYI.
The two of them stared at the large turkey in front of them but neither of them made a move towards it. Thor had made it and the both of them were not quite sure how edible it was. Loki was a great cook, but hadn't brought anything but a store-bought pie with the price tag still on it, he hoped that his brother hadn't stolen it. There was other food on their plates: corn, mashed potatoes, rolls, and stuffing all of which were made from cans, or made by someone else. Steve had made a good part of the meal since he was cooking for the Avengers anyways. Steve even offered to cook the turkey, even though he was not fond of Loki, or the fact that Thor and Loki were spending even more time together. However, Thor had wanted to cook it.
"Did you defrost it?" Loki asked sounded doubtful.
"Yes, " Thor replied. There had been two large turkeys in the fridges and theirs' was nearly as large as the one meant for all The Avengers. Loki nodded but didn't look any less doubtful. Thor might be offended if he also hasn't yet taken a slice, in fact, neither of them had even cut it. Instead, they were staring at it the same way humans stared at slugs.
"One of us should cut it," Loki said but his expression didn't change. Thor took the carving knife and started to cut into the bird. Turkey wasn't his favorite bird to begin with and he could understand why most humans only had it for the holiday called Thanksgiving. He sliced into the skin to reveal white meat. The both of them exchanged a quick 'so far so good' glance'. Thor sliced a few more pieces and put the carving knife and fork down on the blue and white tablecloth. Thor moved one of the slices to his plate and Loki followed suit. The two of them cut the slices into smaller bite-size pieces; both of them cut it up much more than was needed. When they could hardly cut it any further, the two of them exchanged another quick glance before they bit into it. Thor's focus was instantly drawn to his brother's face which was blank and very unhelpful. He hated how stoic his brother could be.
"How is it?" He asked, he had tasted it himself but he wanted to know what his brother thought. Loki rather than answering immediately bit into his roll.
"Well?" Thor asked again getting impatient when Loki took another bite of his roll rather than answering. Loki looked up briefly at him and then back to his roll.
"It was, acceptable," he said before taking another bite of his roll. Thor couldn't help the grin that leaped onto his face.
