Did you want me to pick you up?
And, pronouns for today?
Last night was the only time I would ever ride that horrendous contraption!
Also, He/him :)
You had texted Loki early in the morning, up and ready to pick him up if he needed.
Fine, guess you didn't want Starbucks :)
Oh, we can still go, we're just not using your "bike"
Come outside x
Suspicion started to creep up but you held ground to do as told. Slipping out your window to the front of the alley, you see Loki's car waiting. "Seriously?"
"I did say we weren't going to use it," he was leaning against the hood.
"That bike is my baby," you gawk.
"Yes, yes," Loki unlocks the door and moves to the driver side. "Got everything? We are not going back,"
"I'm not a child," fastening yourself in, the car soon drove off.
"But you are forgetful,"
~~~
"You see? We can actually drink in a car," he sips at his tea, parking expertly which seemed to annoy you. "Sorry I'm a better driver,"
"You're better at parking, I'm better at driving,"
"Jealousy doesn't suit you," he shuts down the engine, glowering at the sight of others, "gods I really don't want to go,"
"We are not skipping," you were seconds from leaving but decidedly leaned in to give the god a kiss on the cheek, "for encouragement... come on, grumpy,"
His eyes widen, face turning red, "just one kiss?"
"Who's the needy one now?" You shuffle closer as another kiss was shared. Lip to lip, it was nothing too heated but much more than a small peck.
"Come on, love birds! Class is about to start!" Thor knocks on the window of your side, running away like a giggling school girl when Loki's eyes glow green at him.
"I'll stab him," you sigh.
Loki was usually the one to say that but hearing you say it made his heart flutter, "gods could you be anymore perfect?"
~~~
The days went on like this. Weeks soon marked off the calendar with winter right around the corner. Hectic were the first two months here, and the following onwards after establishing somewhat of a friend group would be as well. Whether it was due to Loki's chaotic approach to romance or the groups insistence on pushing you outside of your boundaries.
Now with the project due the first week back, fitness was the last thing on your mind.
"Practical assessment, I hope you've all been paying attention to techniques in class," Coach Frank Castle orders everyone into lines.
You stood ready of course, adjusting your grip with some chalk powder while student by student, they had taken turns on the two obstacle courses provided.
It was full military style, though Coach Castle obviously saw no difficulty due to his time of service.
"Mr Friggason," Coach walked up to Loki, or rather under. You see, the god had a tendency to watch from above, hidden away in the shadows of gym class. Whether to play pranks or escape the putrid sweat, though still being there, who knew?
"Coach," he flips another page, looking down just for a second.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Enjoying gym, sir," well, at least Loki was never impolite- or that impolite.
"Get your ass down here." Castle orders, no never being an answer. "You will do this assessment, got it, green?"
"Yes, coach," Loki salutes, popping up by your side.
"You're gonna use an illusion-"
"I'm going to use an illusion," he nods, another version of him pulling from his original self. "Don't worry I look like Anna to others,"
"Isn't she-" you swivl focus around, seeing the girl disappear out the class with a thankful wave to Loki. Then it ended back on Loki's illusion, the small shimmer of green almost completely unnoticeable.
"You're up, green," Coach blows the whistle to set Loki off. The illusion immediately jumped onto the first block, skimming from side to side with ease. Up the net and down via a large rope, it was easy for Loki to complete the course without any trouble.
"Show off," you whisper to him.
"You flatter me, darling," he chuckles when you place a hand on his waist. "Now, now, remember I'm still presented as Anna to others,"
"Boo," you push off playfully. "Enjoy your book, Watson,"
"I'll be sure to," he tries to mimic Anna's usual hand gestures eventually walking away to the bleachers.
Shaking your head, you were up next. Hopefully nothing goes wrong.

"To be fair you did very well until that last part," Loki leans on his palm, elbow against the medical wing bed.
"Yeah, no need to rub it in," you wince from the sudden movement you made with your wrist.
"My mother can heal that with a simple spell if you want," he suggests, taking your other hand and kissing your knuckles.
"Eh..."
"She'll have those treats you like-"
"Sold! To the handsome grease ball in green!" You decide, the trickster laughing mockingly at your poke.
"We heard what happened," seems that the entire group had decided to join.
"Did it look cool, though?" Peter asks, a disapproving look given his way by Steve, "what?? Yelena asked," he frowns, "and so did Kate," he adds after.
"I fell on Shang-chi, sprained my wrist, and Kingo laughed at me... what do you think?" you scowl further, ignoring the embarrassment itching into your system.
"Seems cool enough, you got to top Shang-chi," Anna coughs, glares sent from Loki immediately, "damn, did you want me to say 'lucky Shang-chi, getting topped by Y/n??"
"You could have just kept quiet," Vision suggests.
"Yet here we are," she replies smugly.
"Alright, enough," Dr. Druid walks up, Christine Palmer, Claire Temple and Helen Cho behind him; they were the three potential med students on a scholarship here. "Girls,"
"It is important for all of you to head back to class before the bell goes," Claire gestures to the door.
"Y/n, we need you to answer a few questions, simple ones," Cho and Palmer walk to you.
"It's funny because all three of them have dated people in this group so it's extra awkward to be here," Anna turns to the readers, "except Claire, who has dated Matt," she shrugs, "it's awkward for him and Elektra to come here-"
"Miss Watson, were you breaking the fourth wall again?" Dr Druid asks, noticing the author almost pausing like a movie.
"What?" she asks cluelessly, "of course I was," she says back to the readers. "I would never," Anna smiles at him before turning away to the readers, "I will keep doing it," she then turns to Druid, "don't worry I'll tell you all about the drama around Matt, Claire, Thor, Cho, Christine and Strange later,"
Druid blinks a few times as the group goes silent, "Miss Watson..."
"Dammit," she clicks her fingers, grabbing the note from Druid and stalking off to the office.
"If it changes anything I wanna hear it!" You yell, looking at the glaring group, "okay now it's going to be awkward for me to come here..."

Gotta clean the house then I'm headed to the library to study 😈
