 "Karen, convince Jarvis not to send any footage to Dad for the last ten minutes," you called to your computer system. Tony had made Jarvis. You had made Karen, years after you'd hacked into Jarvis. That's what had drawn Tony's attention to you in the first place. He'd wanted to meet the hacker who could hack his system. You'd done it on a dare when you were 8. He was so impressed he took you home with him that day, leaving poor Pepper to figure out the paperwork.

You didn't want Tony to find out about your kiss with Loki before he had to. He wouldn't be pleased.

"Yes, Miss," she replied pleasantly.

You made your way to your bathroom, still grinning idiotically at all of the roses. Your room would smell like them for ages. You found the steaming hot bubble bath waiting for you as promised. You stripped quickly and soaked for a long time in the water that seemed to never cool from the perfect temperature. It was perfect for relieving the last of the stress from the exams that day. Maybe on Sunday you'd splurge and go to the spa. That was laughable. You'd more likely spend the day in your lab, finally getting back to your own projects once your exams were over.

You made your way back down to the living room after your bubble bath in your pajamas, a tank top and summer-weight long pajama pants. It didn't concern you that you were alone in the tower with Loki in your pajamas. He'd seen you in pajamas or less (including the bikini incident) so many times over the last year, it didn't matter anymore. You also had the textbook you were supposed to be reviewing for the next day's exam. You were glad tomorrow's was the last exam.

"Feeling better?" Loki greeted you when you entered the room.

"That was perfect," you purred, still unable to stop grinning like an idiot. You curled up on the couch, intending the study. You really, really intended to study.

Somehow studying became kissing Loki.

You had absolutely no idea how that happened.

Or how you ended up in his lap.

Or how your fingers were curled perfectly in his hair as you kissed him.

Or how perfectly his arms wrapped around you.

"Darling, fun as this is, don't you have another exam tomorrow?" Loki asked softly between kisses. He didn't want to stop, but he didn't want to risk your exams either. Or whatever fun he was planning for Saturday.

You laughed in reply. "It's AP computer science. If I can't pass that after I built Karen from scratch, I deserve to fail," you replied with a grin.

"That is fair enough," he replied and gave you yet another kiss.

"Miss, Peter is calling you," Karen's voice announced from the phone in your pocket. You sighed and dug the phone out of the pocket of your pajama pants. Loki pouted.

"I have to answer," you reminded him. "Hey, Pete, what's up?" you asked when you answered the phone. Loki ran his fingers through your hair and rubbed the muscles in your back where you tended to hold stress, while you talked. It was rather distracting. You didn't move from his lap, though, enjoying his distracting touches.

"Hey, Y/N, I'm having some issues with my suit. Can you take a look after school tomorrow?"

"Is Karen giving you trouble?" you asked in reply. You'd programmed Karen into his Spiderman suit and it was the first use of Karen outside of your own personal systems.

"A bit, but I'm sure it's my own fault."

You rolled your eyes. "You and your computer friend were playing with the software again, weren't you?"
