Officially the start of a new year and more homework… Marvellous world we have here…

.

"Why is it New Year now? Why?!" Clint whined out loud, while everyone gather around the living room for a tea break.

"What is wrong with New Year?" Tony asked, amused at Clint depressed face.

"It just means I am older by one year and more work to do!" Clint almost cried at the thought of more things to do.

"But it means more party and fun things to do!" Tony cheered at the thought of having grand parties and meeting other ladies.

Pepper frowned at his enthusiasm and sighed.

"Let's make new year resolutions!" Steve suggested happily, thinking of all the wishes he is going to write down.

"What is resolfusion?" Loki asked, unable to pronounce the complicated word properly.

"It is resolution. It is something like a goal for us." Steve explains to Loki, who is tilting his head to one side listening intently.

"So if I wish for more pudding, I will get more pudding?" Loki asked with sparkling eyes, tail curling up happily.

"No, Loki. It is a goal for us. Not a request for more pudding. So it is something like…" Steve stop saying for a while, thinking of a perfect word to explain.

"Let the genius explain." Tony declared proudly, pushing Steve aside. Steve frowns at the smirking look of Tony, which spells trouble in a terrifying way.

"You see resolution is goals which you make for the year. So it is like I make a resolution of making 60 ladies just faint at the awesomeness of mine, and if I do it, I just manage to reach the goal I want." Tony said with a smirk. Steve sighed at the statement and went to the gym to train.

Loki looks at Tony and frown.

"So I make a resoluution about pudding, and I have to work for it?" Loki asked, tilting his head thoughtfully, black cat ears tilting slightly back.

"Yes! You are extremely right." Tony yelled happily, happy being able to explain a lot better that Steve in one shot.

"Okay! Then I will make my resolution now and later show everyone." Loki smiled, skipping away in a good mood.

"I am not sure to feel disturbed or worried." Clint said, looking as Loki skips away to his room.

Bruce just sipped his tea and resume reading his newspaper.

"There is nothing disturbing about my brother, Clint." Thor frowned at Clint.

"No, I mean if Loki is in happy mode, he is usually going to create trouble or be good right?" Clint said.

Before Thor replies back angrily, Loki came squeaking about his New Year resolution.

"Thor, Thor, I written my New Year resolution. Seeee?" Loki squeaks, showing his neat hand writing on a piece of paper.

"That's nice but what is a New Year resolution?" Thor asks with a frown.

"Today is going to be a long day." Tony sighed, thinking of how to explain to Thor.

x.x

"Oh my goodness, I swear that my brain is officially FRIED by just trying to explain to Thor what resolution is!" Tony sighed in exasperation, walking to the bar for a drink.

Thor frowns at Tony's word before walking to sit beside Loki, who is enjoying his book of magic spells.

"It is just very hard to know what you mere mortal's ways of doing things you know?" Thor sighed, getting a headache from all the explanation about something which he forgotten it is called.

"So what did Loki write down in his resolution?" Clint asked curiously, intently looking at the piece of paper Thor is still holding.

Thor raised an eyebrow in amusement and looks at it intently.

"Hmm, it says that I will do more pranks, study more and eat more pudding, play with my kitten Mischief more, as well be a good brother and try not to see the scary man…" Thor softly said the last part.

Silence takes over the room, as they remember the incident. Thor walks over to hug Loki lovingly to show how much he loves him, which Loki is quite disagreeing to the strength of the hug. Tony decided to be the brilliant person to break the silence.

"How about all of us do resolution, and help each other in fulfilling it?" Tony said happily, while Loki started pinching Thor angrily as Thor still continues to hug him a bit too lovingly.

"That is actually a great idea!" Steve said, entering the room with a towel after the workout he done at the gym.

'I am not sure about this being a good idea …' Bruce thought, seeing Tony's smirking face in an evil way.

"0.0"

All the Avengers gathered at the living room together, with every person having a piece of paper and pen. Loki lies down on the sofa lazily with his kitten beside him cleaning itself, looking at all of them them sleepily.

"Now let's just write this year's resolution together and then we show each other resolution to help each other to be even better and awesome!" Tony cheered too happily, making everyone frown at his sudden enthusiasm.

"Okay, now let's get starting on the resolution. So stop whining like little puppies." Natasha said, writing some things in her paper.

Thor looks at the paper and then looks at the pen as if it is most amazing thing in the world.

"Thor? What's wrong?" Steve said with a frown, at Thor's face expression.

"I can't figure out how to use this… mortal stuff and this blank piece of… thing." Thor frowns at both items. Thor looks pleadingly at Loki with sad puppy eyes.

Loki sighs unhappily and moves to another sofa to laze around. Thor continues to show his pleading eyes at Loki, hoping he will help him.

Loki pretends to look away from him, flicking his finger in one direction.

A magic pen from Asgard materialised out of the air, and started whacking Thor on the head. The paper changed to a familiar Asgard information crystal.

"Ow ow! What is that for Loki!?" Thor yelled as he tried to protect his head with his hands from the whacking pen.

"Say the things you want to write to the pen." Loki said boringly, hugging a cushion to himself.

"Oh okay." Thor said, continues to think what to write in his resolution, trying to ignore the pen which is whacking his head harder at a more rapid pace.

Bruce just stared at his paper for a while and start writing.

Tony seems to be too happy writing something in his paper.

Steve frowns intently at the paper before starting to write.

Clint boringly shoots darts at the dart board, while writing with his other hand.

After a while…

"So everyone finish already?" Tony said. All Avengers nodded.

Loki starts to snore a little on the sofa. Tony suddenly feels like doing a prank on Loki but pushes back the urge and try to focus on the task they are now doing.

"So let's see each other resolution, okay?" Tony said, eyes twinkling with mischief.

All the Avengers except Tony swear that they are so going to regret this.
