This is a follow up to the last one, it just needed a little more. This is from Loki's POV, which is much harder than I thought so let me know what you think. I have one more Christmas idea and maybe a New Year's Eve one and then I'll move on to the requests that are piling up. I haven't forgotten about them, I will get to them eventually. Thanks for reading! =D


Slowly I opened my eyes, smiling when I saw Anna asleep on my chest. Last night, after as she would say 'kissing her senseless' we stayed on the couch watching Christmas specials. I didn't really pay attention, playing with her hair held much more interest for me. About thirty minutes in she fell asleep on my shoulder so I shifted to where she would be more comfortable.

She was so imperfectly perfect. The way her nose turned up just the slightest, the premature worry lines, the light spattering of freckles across her face. The way she could trip over anything, how cute she looked when she was mad at me, and the way she always had her head in the clouds. My little dreamer.

I glanced over to the little tree she had insisted upon. There were a few things underneath but the small square box was what my gaze lingered on. We'd only been together for a little over a year, but it felt right. I had been planning on proposing last night but I got distracted. So after she woke up and we had breakfast I would ask her. I had it all planned out, last night after she fell asleep I went over everything. I was going to make her favorite, crepes with strawberries and cream, and then ever so casually have her go over to the tree and find the box. Yes, it was just right.

I squinted as a soft buzzing noise reached my ears. Hearing it again, I located the source Anna's phone. Careful not to wake her I grabbed the phone off the coffee table, it was Tony. And there were several missed texts from various members of her family. I'll let it go to voicemail, he can wait.

I grinned remembering the first time Anna had me over to meet her family, it was interesting to say the least. If only my oaf of a brother hadn't come along. What started off as a disaster turned out quite nice by evenings end, although Anna would tell you different. Even though I didn't quite get along with them, it was worth it for her. Dr. Banner, who for such an unassuming man was very intimidating. So getting permission was a bit nerve-racking, not that I would ever admit that. He was the only one who knew I planned to propose.

As I was reminiscing my phone started to buzz, I rolled my eyes knowing already who it was. If her brothers were any more protective of her I never would have even been able to ask her out. It was hard enough, what with them never leaving her alone.

I closed my eyes, deciding to get a bit more sleep before Anna woke up, seeing as she could sleep till noon if I let her. She was a ridiculously heavy sleeper.

But a knock at the door ruined any thought of more sleep. Before I could get up to answer the door, the doorknob started to jiggle. Instantly alert, all thoughts of sleep gone I tensed. No one but myself and Anna had a key so whoever it was, was not welcome.

Before I could get up the door creaked open, revealing Anna's annoying brothers.

Tony was first to speak, big surprise there. The man never shut up.

"Loki have you seen Anna she isn't answering her phone an-"

I glared at the intruders, which consisted of Tony, Peter and Clint.

"Shh! You're going to wake her."

All three pairs of eyes widened at the sight of us. Inwardly I smirked, Tony looked shocked, affronted and very angry all at the same time. Clint had his usual poker face on but I could detect a hint of disapproval, and Peter had a giant grin on his face. He was one of the only ones that seemed to support our relationship and he delighted in catching us doing anything.

Tony finally found his words in a burst of unintelligible whispered sounds. I glared at him when Anna started to stir.

"Tony shut up, you don't want to wake Anna."

Peter who was still grinning elbowed him in the arm, as Anna snuggled closer.

"What happened here?"

I looked over at Clint and rolled my eyes.

"Nothing, it was late and I didn't want her to go out in the snow last night so she just stayed here."

Much calmer than before, Tony looked between the two of us and narrowed his eyes.

"That better be all that happened princess. If you ever did anyth-"

I rolled my eyes at his stupid nickname, a tad offended at his implication.

"I would sooner jump off the top of your precious tower than ever hurt her in any way!"

At the thought of me jumping off of a building his eyes brightened.

"If only, I mean good. Well now that we know she's alright I guess-"

"You'll leave."

He looked like he was about to protest until Clint grabbed him by the arm.

"Anna will kill us if she wakes up and all of us are standing here."

I tried not to laugh as his face paled ever so slightly. Anna could still put the fear of god in him, I don't know how she did it but I'm just glad someone could.

"Yeah, that would be bad. Let's go then."

He looked back at her once more. The one thing I could say for the narcissistic man was he genuinely loved his sister, albeit very overprotective and possessive but he loved her like I did. And though I doubt we'll ever get along, I would tolerate him for her.

"Come on guys, we need to let the others know that there's nothing to worry about."

"Peter's right Tony, we need to get back."

A sudden thought struck me.

"Wait, how did you get in?"

Tony smirked at me.

"I copied the key, you know how Anna is always losing things."

I sighed, now I need new locks. Wonderful…

"As nice as it was to see you all again, I'd appreciate it if you'd leave now."

And preferably not come back.

"Yeah, yeah we're going."

I watched as they came back the way they came, locking the door behind them. Finally, and just in time it seems.

"Mmm, Loki?"

"Yes love?"

She smiled, eyes still closed. Wrapping her arms around me, she pulled herself closer.

"I thought I heard something, was someone there?"

"No, just us. What do you say to breakfast?"

Yawning, her eyes fluttered open. They always fascinated me, at first glance they were hazel but upon looking closer you could see that they were flecked with an olive and amber. Some days they were greener and some days more amber, but today it was a perfect mix of the two. I kissed her on the forehead softly.

More awake now she smiled up at me.

"I think that sounds wonderful."

"Good, because after that I have something for you."

She scrunched her eyebrows together and frowned.

"But Loki, I thought we were going to wait until Christmas."

I scrambled for an excuse she would buy, before smiling as I remembered something.

"It's an old tradition to open one gift on the solstice."

She stopped to think about it before nodding.

"Alright, but that means you have to come over later so you can open yours."

I grinned as I helped her up, following her into the kitchen.

"I don't think that will be a problem, not at all."

Her voice wafted out of the pantry, where she was getting out supplies for breakfast.

"You seem especially happy today, what's going on?"

I bit back a laugh.

"Oh nothing."

She came out, arms full of ingredients.

"You have that look in your eyes. You are up to something, I know it!"

Oh you have no idea.

"Quite the contrary darling, I'm just glad you're here."

A suspicious look crossed her face before she smiled.

"All right, I guess I just have come to expect it. You usually are up to some kind of mischief."

"Guilty there, but not today. Now let's get started."

I grinned to myself, I couldn't wait to see how that ring looked on her hand.
