"What are we supposed to do with reindeer games, over there?" Tony questioned as he vaguely nodded in the direction Loki was standing.
"I can hear you." Loki hissed crossing his arms along his chest. Rolling his eyes he was unimpressed with Tony's snarky comments.
Sighing to yourself, you rolled your eyes. "Why can't he stay here in the tower?" You quipped while raising an eyebrow. "You know, where it's secure.."
"She's got a point, Tony." Bruce chimed in glancing at Tony expectantly.
"Nonsense." Thor's voice boomed. "He shall stay here with us." He clapped Loki on the shoulder.
"See!" You exclaimed pointing in their direction. "My point exactly!"
"I don't even know why we're talking about this." Bruce groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose as he let out a loud huff.
"Because he can't be trusted." Tony shrugged.
Scoffing you shook your head. Glancing at your watch, you had to leave.
"As much as I'd hate to leave this..." Your voice trailed off as you gathered your belongings before standing up. "Heated conversation, I have to go."
"Saved by the bell," Bruce spoke only loud enough for you to hear. Sharing a quiet laugh, you began leaving the room.
"I got it!" Tony exclaimed as he slapped his hands on the table.
The loud sound causing you to jump slightly. Turning to face him, you raised an eyebrow at him as you crossed your arms along your chest.
"Got what exactly?"
"Why doesn't reindeer games stay with you?"
Your jaw fell slack as soon as the words left his lips. Opening and closing your mouth like a fish out of water, you felt yourself at a loss for words. The room fell silent as soon as the words had been spoken. While you felt as if all eyes were on you. Quickly glancing at Loki, he held an expression that you couldn't quite recognize. Softness? Want?
"Tony, can I speak to you for a moment?" You hissed, crossing your arms along your chest.
"Why don't-"
"Now!" You shrieked, making your way into the hallway.
Once you were both in the semi-private area of the hall, you glared at him.
"Why would you even let that thought cross your mind?"
"Well... Uh.." Tony shifted from foot to foot, as he fidgeted with his wedding band.
"You know that can't happen." You snarled nodding in the direction of the room.
"But-"
Your phone began ringing.
Sighing, you glanced at the caller ID before answering, and letting the sitter know you would be running late.
"Seems like you don't have much of a choice," Tony smirked, crossing his arms along his chest.
"If you think even for a minute, that I'm going to let-"
"We don't have any other options, Y/N," Tony spoke, using his stern voice.
Glaring up at him, you turned to glance through the glass. Crossing your arms along your chest, you let out a huff.
"Fine. But if he even has a toe out of line-"
"I know, I know, you'll gut him like a fish."

The sky was illuminated with an orange and pink tint, as the sun began to set. Driving back to your house was filled with silence as neither one of you wanted to break the silence. Your mind going a hundred miles a minute as you attempted to mentally prepare yourself for what you were about to do. Pulling into your garage, you turned the car off as you let out a huff.
"Let's get one thing straight." You spoke quietly, not breaking your gaze from in front of you.
The feeling of Loki staring at you overtook your senses.
"My kid is off-limits." Glancing out of the corner of your eye, you saw Loki's expression contort into a confused one. "I don't care what you do, what you've done."
You both shared a sigh.
"But if you harm my kid-"
"You'll gut me like a fish." He finished for you.
Turning to face him, you raised an eyebrow at him.
"Stark told me." He shrugged offering you a soft smile.
Smiling you nodded your head. "Good."
Exiting the car, you lead the way into your house.
The sound of a Disney movie playing filled your ears. Placing your keys on their hook, you toed off your shoes. Glancing at Loki, you gave him an expectant look. Rolling his eyes, he mirrored your previous actions before waiting for your approval.
Walking to the living room, you re-leaved the babysitter allowing you to plop down on the couch beside your daughter.
"Mommy!" She squealed throwing her small arms around your neck. Giggling, you felt your lips slide into a toothy grin as you did your best to reciprocate the hug.
Pulling away, you placed soft kisses along he cheeks causing fits of giggles to erupt from her. Glancing in the direction of Loki, her gentle grasp turned into a firm one.
Following her gaze, you giggled. "That's mommy's friend."
"Oh." She muttered quietly, as she nodded her head.
Gesturing for Loki to have a seat, he found home in one of the farthest seats from you.
"Stella, this is Loki." You spoke, motioning towards the man.
Nodding her head, she moved into your lap nuzzling her face into your neck. Giggles fell past your lips, as you glanced at Loki. "Sorry, she's shy."
Once everyone had eaten, you brought mountains of blankets to the couch. Cuddling up in yours, you glanced at Stella watching her hand Loki a few of her favorite ones. Loki gazed at her in confusion.
Stella's giggles filled the room. "Those are a few of my favorite ones." She explained. "Mom and I wrap ourselves in blankets and watch movies."
Nodding his head, he did the best that he could to wrap himself in the child-size blankets.
As the movie played, the room was filled with silence. Glancing towards Stella, you scrunched your eyebrows to see she wasn't beside you. Panic began bubbling up inside you before you heard a soft call for your name. Turning toward the voice, your jaw fell slack.
Stella had burrowed herself into Loki's side while being fast asleep.
"I...I'm sorry." You whispered, the scrunched-up expression still upon your features. "She doesn't usually do that to people she doesn't know." You couldn't help the frown that made its way upon your lips.
"It's quite alright," Loki whispered back, maneuvering his hand to allow him to scratch her head. A content sigh slipped past her slumbering lips.
Nodding your head, you turned back to the movie. Your mind kept wandering to Loki and your daughter. It wasn't long before sleep overwhelmed you.
A gentle nudge, startled you awake. Your heart beating rapidly. "It's alright." Loki's voice echoed through your ears, carrying a gentle and caring tone.
Glancing toward the area Stella had previously occupied, you were greeted with an empty space with lumps of blankets. Furrowing your eyebrows together, you felt your hands begin to sweat.
"She's in her room. She's okay." Loki cooed.
Snapping your head in his direction, you felt a slight relief wash over you. Before you could question Loki already was answering.
"I put her in her bed." He spoke cautiously. "I woke you up because I didn't want you to be sore in the morning." He was scratching his neck as a pink tint danced along his cheeks.
"Oh." You murmured. Confusion overwhelmed you. "Uh, T-Thank you."
Nodding his head, he shifted from foot to foot. Mirroring his previous action, you made your way towards the stairs, as you felt your stomach doing somersaults. The thought of Loki caring plagued your mind.

“This was one of my favorites,” Erika crouched down, using one knee to rock the baby carrier that rested by her feet, “It's called Ponyo. You're still just a little guy but when you get big enough to understand stuff, this'll be a great transition piece.” It was difficult to find 'age appropriate' materials to show her child, but Erika was determine to do that whole parenting thing right and supposedly it was wrong to show them explicit material.
“There's also a real neato anime called Hanamaru Kindergarten. I think you'll like it, but--” Erika paused, noticing a large shadow looming over the carrier and herself. She tipped her head back and, from her spot at the floor, stared up at the upside-down face of an old acquaintance.
“U-... Uwa! Roppi-chan!” she grinned, “If anyone is blocking the light, it would be you!”
