Things were going smoothly, until it got to that time of year where you maxed your credit cards and bought an insane amount of hot chocolate. But this year, you and Wanda had decided to show Loki the horrors of Christmas shopping.
"This will be brutal. You have to be fast and strong. Your mind will have to be fully trained just as your body will be."
"Unless we are going into battle, I truly have not the slightest idea what you two are rambling about." Loki sighed and rubbed at his temples.You and Wanda exchanged looks and you both knew that Loki was definitely going to get himself hurt.
"Trust me Lokes, this is the greatest battle you will fight in. If you return victorious you will be praised for no person has ever gotten out Christmas shopping alive or with everything they needed. I will be very impressed if you can last an hour." You placed your hands on his broad shoulders and looked into his eyes.
"You have got this but you need to be trained.""Stop scaring my brother. As long as you hand make your gifts, everything shall be fine. You can ask Wanda about the wand I made her last year. It was marvellous." Thor said from your doorway smiling brightly.
"I remember. It was very well crafted." After Wanda's response, Thor nodded and left.
"It was a stick covered in glitter glue." Wanda deadpanned to you and Loki."Better than being killed on Black Friday I guess." You sighed and slumped next to Loki.
"I remember once, we really needed butter so we went to big Tesco's and we forgot it was Black Friday. We were stuck in traffic for hours when the shop was a ten minute drive, I got trampled by toddlers and some bitch let her 16 year old son cut a large chunk off of my hair. That's why my hair is shorter than it would normally be." You whined and covered your eyes with your hands, not wanting to re-live the trauma.
"Is she overreacting?" Loki questioned Wanda who just shook her head no sinisterly. Loki rubbed your back looked to Wanda with sympathy. He hadn't seen you or Wanda so disturbed.
"I think I'm going to stick with Thor's idea." His normally smooth voice was shaky.
"I don't care if you're shopping or not, we need a bodyguard." Wanda said sitting your lap and pushing your arm down."Sweetheart, look at me." Wanda said to you. You looked up at her you both burst into a fit of laughter, leaving Loki completely confused. Wanda wrapped her arms around your neck to stop herself from falling back and you buried your head in the crook of her neck. Eventually you both calmed down and wiped the tears from your eyes.
"I am very confused as to what just happened." Loki stared at both of you waiting for an answer.
"Its not that bad, but it is, its terrible. You'll cope though, hopefully." You sighed and gave him a kiss on the cheek, not missing him out on the affection. You stood up on your bed and started jumping, making Loki and Wanda bounce slightly too.
"I'm certain she has the mental capacity of an infant." Loki whispered not so quietly to Wanda.
"Hey, I'll let you know that I'm very smart. I was at a year nine reading level when I was in year four."
"Very impressive." Loki said sarcastically.When you flopped down and pouted, he hovered over you, his arm resting next to your head. For just a second your gaze bounced to his lips, but you immediately regretted it as soon as he noticed. His body dropped slightly, his legs now softly resting on yours.
"I'm sure you are very smart darling?" Loki whispered, his face inching closer.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" You whispered back and your breath slowly thinning out.
