My beta krystal Lazuli is awesome.
Ideas keep coming to me so far.
Thor stared excitedly at the large fire that his brother had started not too long ago. The blond looked around him at the others who were in a circle surrounding the large fire. Thor had learned of this camping from the Midgardian tool called the internet and had of course insisted that all the Avengers and his brother must try it. For some reason, not everyone had felt the same way he had. Natasha and Clint had not been fond of the suggestion. Tony stated that he couldn't live so far from his lab and various tools. Bruce was fairly neutral about it, Steve had been the only one who was even partially excited about it. Loki did not give any indication of whether he intended to go or not, no matter how much Thor begged, until they left and Loki joined them. There were six tents of various colors set up behind them. Some of the them needed quite a bit of help from Steve to construct. Loki was too big for a tent and would be sleeping next to the fire.
Thor shifted his metal folding chair closer to the fire and stared at the flames. This was similar to the overnight night accommodations they had when they were adolescents and were on hunting trips. Loki never liked those. A quick look at his brother found that Loki's gaze was solely concentrated on the fire burning in front of them. He got up from his red folding chair abruptly as he remembered the treat that they had brought on this trip. He made his way over to the red cooler that was on top of the picnic table, past Clint and Natasha who were whispering to each other too quietly for him to hear.
He retrieved the items that Steve described before they left, smiling eagerly. He began his attempt to make the treat that Steve said was best done by an open fire. He found the marshmallows that he'd only ever eaten uncooked before and frowned as he wasn't quite sure what he was supposed to do to cook them. He felt a hand clasp his shoulder and a stick with a metal pole at the end of it being pressed into his hand. Thor looked up and saw Steve carrying a similar stick of his own. Steve opened the bag of marshmallows and forced one of the round white puffs onto the end of the metal. Thor copied Steve's motion and then followed his friend back to the fire.
Steve put his stick near the flames, but not close enough for it to catch fire. His friend kept turning it and it slowly the marshmallow turned from white to crispy golden color. Thor tried to follow suit, only apparently he was putting his marshmallow too close to fire because moments later it caught on fire. Thor jerked it from the fire and then after a few moments of Steve making blowing motions, Thor blew on it causing the fire to go out. Sadly, it left him with a very black marshmallow.
"It's like he's a puppy," Tony said looking at him, and Thor frowned not understand his friends meaning.
"Try again," Steve said more supportively. Thor took off the black marshmallow and put it on his plate on the table. Moments later he was trying again to cook another marshmallow like Steve had showed him. After some time, it was starting to turn golden like Steve's when suddenly his marshmallow was black. He turned to his brother who wasn't looking at him, but he had seen flames from the corner of his eyes and it hadn't come from the direction of the fire.
"Loki, did you burn my marshmallow?" Thor accused his brother. His brother could say nothing, but he looked at him with such an innocent look in his dragon eyes that Thor did not believe for one moment. Thor went back for another marshmallow and started to roast it yet again. This one lasted only a few seconds before it too was blackened. Thor glared at his brother knowing that Loki was burning them, especially when he heard laughter from his friends. Well, some of them. Tony and Clint found it very entertaining and Bruce looked faintly amused. Steve, on the other hand, looked at his brother disapprovingly and it was always rather difficult to tell how Natasha felt.
"Loki, stop it!" Thor shouted as he made his way back to the table and got himself one more marshmallow. If Loki did it again, he wasn't sure what he would do. Thor put his stick back over the flames and kept flickering his gaze between his marshmallow, the flames, and Loki. He saw Loki's head turn towards the marshmallow from the corner of his eye and turned towards him.
"Loki," Steve warned disapprovingly and for a second Loki paused like he was going to listen to Steve's admonishment, but then Loki blackened yet another of Thor's marshmallows. Thor huffed angrily and stalked away into the night.
Thanks so much for reading please let me know what you think :)
