"There's a best friend code you've violated. I know it." Johnny glared at Klara, but then Lovisa started waving her little arms at him and that was enough to melt him. For the ten seconds it took him pick Lovie up, but then his look was back on Klara. "Because Rafael is going to tell my dad. Who will tell my other dad. And Tony is barely surviving at this point." He swung his niece onto his hip and booped her nose, looking between his two friends. Loki was still smirking and Johnny rolled his eyes. "You know we're going to look like a weird polygamy relationship."

[hcvrtbrcvk]

"I can't lie to your boss about you guys' whereabouts. I'd be considered a traitor to this nation or whatever. And I needed to tell him why I'm making him go to Ella's ballet class and sit there with the horny divorced moms," Klara explained before rolling her eyes at what he said next. "You know, even if Raf doesn't babble; even though Tony is not going to notice however many millions this apartment costs, gone from his bank account, he is definitely going to notice his bambino leaving his nest," she countered with a hum and pressed a kiss to Thora's head. "Shall we go, darlings, or are we going to be standing here like idiots?"

[cosmiclvex]

"I'll revoke the it when she stops being an it." Thora blinked up at her with her big blue eyes and he rolled his. "He's picking Eisa up from Johnny's," he continued, "I told him to take her to lunch. Make an afternoon of it. Take his time." He paused to look at Thora as she finally settled down in his arms. Loki's expression softened a fraction, before he turned his gaze back up to meet Klara's. "I had to, Klara. I love him so much and he's pissing me off. He's hovering and asking if I'm okay every ten minutes and breathing in my close proximity. And he's so beautiful but he will not look so beautiful splattered all over our walls—oh, thank god," he breathed when he saw Thora had drifted off to sleep. He walked her over to her crib. "We're putting a pin in the fact death threats relaxed her enough to put her to sleep."

[hcvrtbrcvk]

Klara rolled her eyes at her best friend's words and just held Javi a bit closer, rocking him gently in her arms. "Speaking of Johnny," she mused. "How sure are we that he cannot get pregnant? At this point you never know with these brothers," she wondered and looked at Loki. "You will have a chance to put on some normal clothes and leave this house, get some fresh, crisp New York air -- he asked me to accompany him at apartment viewings on Saturday," Klara suggested and gently placed Javi next to his sister in their crib. She watched them for a moment, smiling at how cute they looked together. "Do you need anything from me? Apart from earplugs and baby melatonin?"

[cosmiclvex]

“Fine, but when she starts making passive-aggressive wedding plans over Sunday dinner, I reserve the right to hide behind you.” Rafael laughed, his hands tightening around hers as he shook his head. “Living in sin. Dios mío, she’ll be lighting candles and saying prayers for our souls every night.” Rafael smirked, but his expression softened as he continued. “I get it, though,” he said, his voice quieter. “I don’t want you feeling like this is just another expectation you have to meet. I want it to be your choice. And I don't want you to do it for me, for my mom, or for Ella. I mean, if this is how we’ll be the rest of our lives, I’m fine with that.” He brought Klara’s hand to his lips, brushing a kiss across her knuckles. His gaze flicked up to meet hers, “As for me, I know from experience a piece of paper means nothing. I don’t need it to know how I feel about you.” He nodded toward the living room. “And Ella decided who you were in her life months ago. Ed already started the paperwork for us.”

[hcvrtbrcvk]

"Deal," Klara chuckled as she leaned in to give him a quick kiss on the lips. "I'll handle your mother while you hide behind your five-foot-nothing girlfriend," she teased, running her hand through Rafael's curls. Her expression softened as he continued talking, and when he finished, she leaned in to kiss him again. "I know, kærasti. We will get married... eventually. I already have at least three dresses planned in my head for the day," she said with a smirk. "We're already a family, we'll just wait a little longer to make it official with God. I want to marry you because it also is important to me, I just want to wait a little bit," Klara explained and looked into the living room, smiling as she watched Ella help Lovie take wobbly steps towards her toys. "Your mum is going to be too busy planning the twins' baptisms anyway."

[cosmiclvex]

Johnny sat back on the arm of the couch. He smiled at their interaction, watching the little girl run down the hall towards the room she already designated as her own. He snorted at his boyfriend's comment and turned to look at him. "Mhm. But if he did, in his defense, with newborn twins, I don't think her bitching about a bunny would be a welcome addition." Johnny reached out for Mateo, pulling him against him. He leaned up and kissed him again. "I have a question, though." Johnny tilted his head to the side, "Do we even count as long distance if I see you very weekend?" He pressed one more kiss to his lips. Johnny smirked and leaned back a little. "I didn't even get to finish unpacking."

[hcvrtbrcvk]

"Well, she would have demanded a bunny sooner or later. So it really isn't my fault," Mateo countered with a smirk. When Johnny pulled him in, his own arms wrapped around his boyfriend's waist and he smiled against his lips. "We'd see each other every day if we weren't long distance, babe," he chuckled at his question. "Completely unrelated to you, but a second restaurant in New York has been going in my mind for a couple years anyway," he shrugged. "Maybe a bit related to you," he added with a smirk.

[cosmiclvex]

Loki smiled, watching the way Eisa cradled Javi. “She’s a natural,” he murmured as Javi’s little fingers twitched against Eisa’s hand. He shifted Thora just slightly. “Mm. I think she approves,” he whispered, lips brushing the shell of Edward’s ear as he spoke. “We might survive this after all.” Then Thora stirred, a sigh escaping her, and Loki froze—but thankfully, she settled just as quickly. Eisa giggled again, tracing the faint blue shimmer on Javi’s cheek. 'Are they magic, too?' She asked, looking up at her fathers. Loki nodded, "They are," he said. "That's why they'll need their big sister." He pressed a kiss to the top of their oldest's head, leaning back against Edward's chest. Despite the cute scene unfolding before them, he still pouted, "I really do feel like someone threw a planet at me, though."

[hcvrtbrcvk]

“I would like to think so. But knowing us, they will end up being spoiled as f-u-c-k,” Edward whispered into his husband’s ear and looked at him with a smirk. He gently started rocking Thora when she started getting unsettled, and eventually she drifted off back to sleep. He smiled when Eisa asked her question and nodded in agreement. “And they couldn’t have asked for a better big sister,” he added and ran his hand through Eisa’s blonde curls. He shifted ever so slightly when Loki leaned back against his chest, making sure everyone was still comfortable. “You’ve done your job, mi amor. Now you just rest, and I will take care of everything. The Avengers will have to survive having to follow the law for once while I’m gone.”

[cosmiclvex]

“That I want to sleep until the next millennium,” he teased. The last few hours had been a blur. Any lingering doubts disappeared the moment he heard their cries—well, Javi’s little cries. Thora had come into the world screaming. But now, she was asleep in his arms, her cheeks a rosy pink even against blue-tinted skin. Loki leaned into Edward, smiling, before kissing him. He was about to say something else when a knock at the door interrupted him. Frigga gave them a warm smile as she opened it just enough for their oldest to hesitantly step inside. “Hi, princess.” Eisa looked uncertain as she approached, and Loki gently handed Thora over to Edward so he could help her onto the bed. “Do you want to see your new brother and sister?” He carefully pulled her onto his lap, pressing a kiss to the side of her head. He knew this would be an adjustment for her. He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t worried. “She’s asleep, but I think he was waiting to meet you.”

[hcvrtbrcvk]

"I don't think we'll be getting any sleep. At least not when this one is concerned,'' Edward chuckled as he nodded at their daughter, who was finally asleep after her little concert. He smiled against Loki's lips and pressed another kiss to the top of his head. His smile widened when Eisa walked into the room. Initially unsure what to do or think, she quickly made herself comfortable against her dad. "Hola princesa," he smiled and leaned forward to kiss her cheek before handing Javi to Loki, just so he could help Eisa hold the baby. "Say hello to your baby brother," Edward mused and adjusted the hold he had on Thora to ensure she wouldn't wake up and start screaming again.

"Ohhh... He is a blueberry just like me and Daddy!" Eisa exclaimed upon seeing the newborn's skin change with contact with Loki’s. “That he is,” he smiled and leaned forward to kiss Eisa’s forehead. “So is your baby sister,” he added with a hum. He watched as she babbled to the baby and laughed when Javi made noises as if understanding her. "This is going well," Ed whispered into Loki's ear and smiled. "Quite perfect, if you ask me."

[cosmiclvex]

Sam laughed as he hooked his fingers into Bucky’s belt loops, keeping him close to him. “You? Scaring trainees? Shocking.” He smirked. “And yeah, I wouldn’t trust him on a normal day. Last time, he threatened to turn one of them into a frog just for breathing too loud.” He gave Bucky’s hip a squeeze before tilting his head toward the food, but then Sam stopped, Bucky’s words sinking in. His brain short-circuited for a second and Sam looked at him, but then another smirk took over his face, bright and smug as hell. “Ohhh, no. Hold up. You love me, huh?” His grip on Bucky’s belt loops tightening. “Damn right, you love me,” he teased, though there was nothing but pure affection behind it. Before Bucky could react, Sam kissed him. "You better get used to hearing it back, sweetheart, ‘cause I’m not letting that slide.”

[hcvrtbrcvk]

Bucky merely rolled his eyes at his boyfriend's reaction to his words. But truly there was nothing else but pure fondness behind his gaze. "Keep being a smirky asshole and I will take that back, doll," he hummed matching his smirk to Sam's. He smiled against his lips but pulled back after a bit. "Well, I am not hearing anything back though, am I?”

[cosmiclvex]

“It won’t stop,” Loki grumbled, finding Klara in the nursery, his glare fixed on his wailing week-old daughter. Meanwhile, her brother lay nestled in his arms, calmly, his big blue eyes wide with something that almost looked like horror. Loki let out a slow breath, shifting his grip on the baby. “Yeah, yeah. I know, darling. I’m sorry.” He walked in and handed Javier off to Klara before scooping up Thora. “What do you want, you absolute menace?” She didn’t let up. If anything, she screamed louder. Loki turned to Klara with the most deadpan expression imaginable. “I fed it. I hold it. I put it back down. And this.” He gestured to Thora. “It’s evil.” ; @hcvrtbrcvk

[hcvrtbrcvk]

"You know, maybe if you stop calling her an "it", she will stop crying," Klara hummed as she walked into the nursery. She got there as soon as she could after her best friend sent her a dramatic text. She took Javi in her arms, adjusting him slightly just so he was more comfortable. "Hello, my little prince," she pressed a kiss to the top of his head. "Where's your husband?" Klara asked as she glanced at Thora. "She might be super colicky much like Lovie used to be. Honestly, I'd just used a silencing spell to avoid a mental breakdown and to make sure Raf could get some sleep before work,” she murmured and focused her gaze on Loki. “Let’s try some white noise first, okay? Maybe some earplugs, too.”

[cosmiclvex]

Johnny smiled as he opened the door and saw him standing there. “Hi,” he said, leaning in to kiss the older man. Stepping aside, he let Mateo in, his gaze drifting past him, and the still-unpacked boxes, to the living room where Eisa was lying facedown on the floor. “She’s okay,” Johnny started. "She's having a delayed I'm not the only child anymore meltdown," he added, shutting the door behind Mateo. "And she said I don't understand, because I, and I quote, was like 50 when Morgan was born." He shot Mateo a deadpanned look before stepping over Eisa. “Come on, baby girl.” He scooped her up into his arms, despite her going completely limp and pouting. “Tío’s here.” She pouted harder, reaching for Mateo but not doing anything else. Johnny glanced back at him. “Given recent events, I’m starting to believe Loki did give birth to her. Or cloned himself as a small, female child.” // @hcvrtbrcvk

[hcvrtbrcvk]

At this point, Mateo was beginning to think it's time to get a place in New York. Or at least a lifetime voucher with American Airlines. "Hi cariño," he smiled against Johnny's lips before walking into his boyfriend's apartment. He raised his brow when he saw Eisa laying there face flat on the floor, making weird ass noises. But Johnny's explanation quickly cleared up any confusion he had. "Well," he said, as he took Eisa into his arms and pressed a kiss to the side of her head. "As someone who was around your age when my parents gave me my brothers, I can absolutely see your point. He really doesn't get it, does he?" Mateo teased and booped her nose, making her giggle and agree with him. "I wanted a bunny and they gave me your Papi," he whispered theatrically and let out a laugh when Eisa now said she wanted a bunny. "Well, fuck. He's going to kill me," he rolled his eyes playfully when they were left alone as the little blonde ran to her new room to grab her toys.

[cosmiclvex]

"Thank you for helping," he said as he stepped off the elevator and into the common area of the Avengers space. Johnny made sure both of his dads were gone when he invited Klara over, just to be safe. He pressed a kiss to her cheek, not yet seeing the person on the other side of her. "I'm overwhelmed. My ex did everything last time and we see how that went." Johnny scrunched his nose, "And if I say anything to my dad, he's going to buy me an entire building and then question me on why." He walked around the island and stopped, finally seeing Loki sitting beside Klara. "Wait, did we get called out for something?" But the look on Loki's face told him they hadn't gotten called out for a mission and Johnny groaned, turning to look at Klara. "Dude. Does Rafael know I'm moving out now, too? That isn't the only reason." The smirky asshole beside Klara snorted at that, so Johnny tossed an unused paper cup at his head. "It's a catalyst." // @hcvrtbrcvk

[hcvrtbrcvk]

She knew what it would look like if the trio arrived anywhere with the twins and Lovisa in tow, especially at a house viewing. But playing a little prank on Johnny was her and Loki's plan all along, plus he needed to get out of the house if they wanted to avoid another pissed-off alien invasion. "He's on paternity leave you dumbass," Klara mused before handing Lovie to the blond. "Well, year he does we tell each other everything," she responded to his question knowing very well he was being sarcastic about it. "So, are you ready to go, or are you going to keep bitching at us?" she asked before leaning down to pick Thora out of the pram when she started wiggling, wanting to avoid yet another meltdown.

[cosmiclvex]

“It's fine. It's probably my sister or someone else stupid." Sam followed Bucky's lead and walked them backwards, but his phone kept buzzing. He groaned, "If it's not you distracting me with that pretty face, it’s the universe cockblocking me.” Sam was just about to pull him into the bedroom when it buzzed again. He really wanted to ignore it, but the buzzing persisted. “Hold that thought, sweetheart." Sam pressed a kiss to Bucky's lips and walked around to answer the phone. Sam made a face when he saw Hill's name flash across the screen and answered it. "Actually, I am busy—" he replied to their boss's question, but of course, that didn't matter. Once they call ended, Sam walked back over to his boyfriend. "Okay. I'm gonna be like fifteen minutes tops." He slid a hand up Bucky’s chest, "You and your cute ass self stay here and wait for me." But, of course, it took longer than fifteen minutes. So when Sam finally made it back, he came back with lunch and his attitude. “Damn trainees. Why am I the one dealing with this? Where the hell is everyone else?” He dropped the food on the island and hopped up to sit on the counter beside it. “They were fucking idiots.” With an over-exaggerated pout, Sam made grabby hands towards Bucky. “You don’t know how many of them I wanted to strangle."

[hcvrtbrcvk]

Bucky signed when Sam pulled away but he understood that his was the nature of their job. "Alright, doll," he rolled his eyes playfully and stepped away before sitting on the bed. When his boyfriend came back to give him the bad news, he nodded his head and leaned up to press a quick kiss to his lips. “Just don’t take too long,” he hummed. When Sam was gone, Bucky spent that time just hanging out and trying not to worry too much about his boyfriend’s whereabouts. "I have a staring problem that is scaring the trainees away. Loki is a hormonal bitch so I wouldn’t trust him with a bunch of idiots in his delicate, blessed condition," Bucky hummed as he walked up to Sam, standing between his legs. "Besides, you're the most patient out of the bunch which is one of the things that I love about you, darling," he smiled and learned forward to kiss him. "So what's for lunch?" he asked as he pulled back before Sam could get that cheesy took on his face.

[cosmiclvex]

"Was that a hint of a smile? Already? Damn, sergeant. I'm either on my game tonight or hell hath frozen over." Sam smirked and handed Bucky one of the two glasses he was holding. His free hand reached out for him so he could wrap his arm around him, bringing him back against his chest. Sam kissed the side of his head, "Happy birthday, baby." ; @hcvrtbrcvk

[hcvrtbrcvk]

“Watch it or you're going to ruin it," Bucky rolled his eyes at his boyfriend's teasing but the fond expression did not disappear from his face. He took the glass from Sam, leaning slightly against the taller man’s side. "Thank you," he replied as he looked up at Sam. "And thank you for not making a spectacle out of my birthday. But I do have to ask- what kind of issues do you have to be going after a 108 year old man?" he asked teasingly.

[hcvrtbrcvk]

Everything happened so quickly even though some time had actually passed from when Loki told him that their babies decided to come early, and to the moment everyone left and they were alone with the twins. Basking in the radiance of the beautiful moment when it was just them and the chaos was over. Edward walked over to sit back on the bed, shifting Javi in his arms so he could wrap his other arm around his husband, making him lean against him. “It’s so weird they’re already here with us. They’re so perfect,” he whispered and pressed a kiss to the top of Loki’s head before moving his gaze to look at Thora who was sleeping peacefully in Loki’s arms. “You did so well, darling,” Edward said gently moved his husband even closer and rested his head against Loki’s. “What’s on your mind, mi rey?” @cosmiclvex

[cosmiclvex]

Tony walked down to the lab that afternoon and quietly stepped up to his husband, so he wouldn't startle him. "Hi," he said, softly, wrapping his arms around his waist from behind. Tony dropped a kiss to Bruce's shoulder. "Johnny took Morgan out for the night," he said and pressed another kiss to the side of his head. "I figured if what you're working on isn't that important, I could steal you away for the evening?"

// @hcvrtbrcvk

[hcvrtbrcvk]

"Hi, baby" Bruce smiled as he leaned against Tony's body. He closed his laptop and moved around in his husband's arms to face him. "Well, I don't know yet how important this is. It all depends on where you want to take me,” Bruce smirked as he leaned up to properly kiss him. He wrapped his arms around Tony's neck, deepening the kiss when the doors opened and he heard barking. Which wouldn't have been weird except that it wasn't just Leia, who barged into their lab. "Wait, where the hell did that second dog come from?” he glanced at his husband, almost sure that he was the one who got manipulated by Morgan and/or Johnny to get it. "Tony..."

[cosmiclvex]

"I don't want to question anything. Because I feel like I got the less insane of the two and the more I dig and question, the more I might start to question that." At what his brother said next, Rafael groaned, dragging a hand down his face. “Yeah, well, I know that." He sighed and dropped his hand. "But I don't want to ask her because of that. No more than you would have wanted to ask Loki to marry you just because of the baby. Babies," he corrected with a wince. "We have talked about it. We know we want that. I just don't want her to think that's why I'm asking her because it's not." He pouted slight and leaned back in his seat. "Can't I just use Klara's like...I don't know, diplomatic rights or something? Or," he gave his brother a completely serious look and continued, "She could be number 81. I would ignore it."

[hcvrtbrcvk]

"Rafael, have I not just said I will make it work? Just calm down and breathe, Jesus,” Edward said, as he looked at his brother with an amused look on his face. "Everything is possible, it will just take slightly more time and paperwork, but it's for me to worry about and not you," he patted Raf's shoulder before laughing at his suggestion. "Yeah, no. As tempting as that sounds, this hormonal asshole would not stop at 81. I'd be 82 and you'd end up being 83, most likely," he shook his head but his expression soon softened as he looked at his brother. "Speaking of that, I hope you're not going to throw a hissy fit for stealing your name for one of the babies. I couldn't convince him to Jesús so Javi it is.”

[hcvrtbrcvk]

"Your husband's office is on another floor," Bucky spoke not turning back but still staring at the computer screen. And if he was simply stalking Sam's jet’s position, nobody was going to say anything about that to him. He didn't even need to turn around to know who was at the door because there was only one person that would just walk in, and stand there staring at him in silence, until Bucky said anything. "Aren't you supposed to be on a bed rest?" he questioned as he finally took his eyes off the screen to face his friend but a smirk appeared on his face, instead of his usual expression. "Or have you just missed me this much you had to see me?" @cosmiclvex

[cosmiclvex]

Sam’s lips curled into a grin as Bucky spoke. “Bruises, huh?” he teased, his fingers brushing lightly over Bucky’s cheek. "Your cute ass usually doesn't complain about bruises." He pressed his lips to Bucky’s again, quick but affectionate, before pulling back just enough to look at him. He nodded at the reassurance, but the concern didn't completely leave his eyes. "Okay," Sam replied, dropping his hand to the back of his neck. "But if it's ever not—even just a little bit," he started, thumb tracing a slow circle against Bucky’s skin. Bucky’s smile was enough to put him at ease, but Sam didn’t quite let go of that lingering worry yet. “You don’t have to pretend everything’s fine. Not with me."

[hcvrtbrcvk]

"There are some bruises I don't mind having,” Bucky rolled his eyes fondly and kissed him back, tilting his head when Sam pulled back. He knew that Sam worried about him and frankly, he had a good reason for that. After all, he'd seen him at his worst already and helped him get better. Honestly, Bucky had no idea if he'd be where he currently was, if it wasn't for Sam. " you'll be the first person I go to when I'm going to start getting bad again," he promised and leaned forward to kiss Sam, pulling back slightly as a small smirk appeared on his face. "How about I show you how okay I am right now?" Bucky mused, crashing his lips again against Sam's, gently leading him towards the bedroom. But before he could go any further Sam's phone going off interrupted them. "Is anyone dying or is there another alien trying to enslave New York?" Bucky groaned as he finally pulled away.
