How about Loki x reader have been dating for a while and Loki heard about that midgardian thing "moving in together" and tries to ask the reader but the boi is too shy uwu
Warnings/Notes: I left the ending open for personal preference. There is alcohol. Y/N is not physically present.
"How do I say it?" Loki asked Stark, having sat at the bar counter for nearly twenty minutes before realizing he hadn't yet explained what he had intended to ask Y/N. Anthony stared with a dry expression and puckered lips.
"Say what, exactly? I'm pretty sure you've told Y/N that you love them," he answered rather sarcastically. Loki resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Well, he hoped he did. He might have rolled them without noticing. "Why are you sitting and playing with your olive? Just drink your alcohol."
"I want to ask Y/N to move in with me. Like other mortals do," Loki said, sitting up and still playing with the olive in his Dirty Martini. His heart started beating faster. "I don't want them to think I'm noncommittal to this relationship. I care for them greatly."
"Um, buddy, I don't think that's something you do on a whim," Stark said slowly. "You have to kind of bring it up, and then plan it out. Everyone does that differently. Some people only want to move in together after they get married. Some only move in once they're engaged. Some move in right away. Some don't ever move in together. Sometimes, people move in together instead of marriage. You have to know what your partner wants."
Loki's expression fell. "So it is just as serious on Asgard," he lamented. He rested his pounding head on his elbow, groaning into the glass table. "It's complicated and full of unspoken rules."
"Unspoken rules are nothing. Just wait until you and Y/N actually start talking about marriage!" Stark laughed. He shook another drink together. "Pepper and I didn't really talk about moving in together, you know. She was in my house almost all the time, even before we were together, so it made more sense for us to just live together. I didn't mind; I'm going to marry her someday." Stark stopped for a moment. "Or I won't marry at all. The question is, how do I ask her? I still haven't asked her."
"You said that living together could be a substitute for marriage," Loki pointed out suddenly. His spirits seemed to be falling lower and lower... and he didn't have enough spirits on hand, either. Stupid Midgardian alcohol. He downed his glass.
"Yeah, it can be. Marriage means different things to different individuals. Most of us agree that marriage is supposed to be a lifelong partnership," Stark kept explaining, giving him more of his Dry Martini. "Marriage, for the most part, can be a bunch of different things: an understanding in a relationship, an official label, a ceremony, a piece of paper, a lie... What's marriage to you, exactly?"
"I've never been married. I've never felt this way," Loki answered, burying his face in his hands and running his fingers through his hair. "Suddenly this is beginning to look more like a maze and less like a calling from the Norns."
Tony jutted his hip out, resting his hand on it and setting his elbow and forearm on the glass bar. "How long have you and Y/N been together, anyway? That could explain why you're so nervous about all of this. You might not even need to move in together. A house is just a house, Loki; home doesn't need to be one place."
"About six weeks," Loki murmured. "Is it too early?"
Stark thought for a moment. "I'd say so. Let the conversation come up naturally, and let Y/N make the first move so you know when they're ready."
Loki felt a little bit better. "Alright. But they don't doubt that I want to have a serious relationship, yes?"
I hope your day is filled with love and lots of gifts :3 you're a great friend and you deserve the best this world has to offer <3 I am not able to give you a physical gift so please have this SpongeBob meme instead
No no you’re good! It’s today! The 12th! :3
Lucy you sweetheart ;www;
Thank you so much!!! It’s been lovely so far. And we got snow!!! It’s a beautiful cold grey day and it SNOWED
Overall huge fan of courage the cowardly dog and billy and Mandy.
Adventure time/Steven universe hold a special place in my heart.
However my FAVORITE has to go to Avatar the Last Airbender. Hands down best show to ever exist and continues to hold up as an unmatched cartoon (but is it considered a cartoon/anime? That’s a whole diff convo which includes adult animation…can you tell I’m bored yet?)
