"Wake up, Y/N!" Loki announced brightly, nearly bouncing next to your bed. You groaned and cracked your eyes open.

"Loki, the sun isn't even up yet," you moaned and tried to roll over to go back to sleep. Sleep was a precious commodity to a high school student. You thought Loki knew that by now. Sleep was sacred on Saturday mornings.

"You promised," he pouted. You groaned again, but sat up, rubbing sleep from your eyes. He grabbed your hands to haul you out of bed. "You've slept for three whole hours, c'mon!" he bid excitedly.

"Loki, I've told you before. Fragile little humans need more sleep than Asgardians," you grumbled at him, but got out of the bed before he dragged you out on your face. You could survive without much sleep, just like your adopted father. That didn't mean it was a pretty sight when you did it. "What kind of plans can you possibly have for the day that start at 6am?" you asked, still trying to wake up. Three hours of sleep after the week of hell you'd had was not nearly enough.

"You'll see!" he said like an excited puppy. He used magic and clothes appeared on your bed. "I picked something out for you," he sounded proud of himself.

You looked at the dress on your bed. "Loki, you know I don't wear dresses. I think you can count how many times you've seen me in a dress and not run out of fingers,"

"I'd like to run out of fingers to count that experience on," he replied and gave you a kiss. "Please?" he pouted with puppy-dog eyes.

You rolled your eyes. "Fine," you sighed. "Get out so I can shower and get dressed," you told him and shoved him bodily from the room when he jokingly dug his heels in. He didn't mean it, it was a joke. He would never push or pry. "Just because you were there for the bikini incident does not mean you get to watch me shower, or dress. Shoo, silly Trickster." You slammed your bedroom door behind him when you finally had propelled him through it. You were both laughing.

You showered and dressed in the beautiful green sundress Loki had picked out. Or made. Sometimes it was hard to tell with Loki and you never remembered what dresses you actually owned, since they just took up space in the back of your closet. Most of the time you lived in jeans and t-shirts. You were feeling benevolent toward Loki, especially after he'd put up with your studying all week and not paying attention to him, so you actually did your hair for once too, instead of tying it in its usual ponytail. You grabbed your sandals and a small cute purse before you left the room. Loki was waiting on the other side of your bedroom door. He grinned when he saw you. "You look lovely in dresses," he told you and raised your hand to his lips to kiss the back of it. You smiled.

"Thank you," you replied. He placed your hand on the crook of his elbow to lead you downstairs.

"You do have your keys, right?" he asked, eyeing your purse. You nodded. He hadn't learned how to drive yet, or gotten anyone to make him an ID. He couldn't exactly get one legally.

"Are you going to tell me where I'm driving to?" you asked him, curious what he had planned.

"Nope," he replied with a grin. You laughed, but took the elevator with him down to where the cars were parked.

"Jarvis, if Dad asks, remind him that I'm out spending the day with Loki. I have my phone if you need me," you announced while you were in the elevator. Tony got worried when he forgot where you were and you weren't in your lab or school. It was common courtesy to remind Jarvis where you were. You and Loki climbed in your cute little four door Audi.

Loki gave you directions out of the city and refused to say where you were going.

The first stop of the morning was to feed the hungry Asgardian. You would have admitted you were hungry too, but Loki, and Thor even more so, were bottomless pits when it came to food.

One of Loki's absolute favorite places was the Pancake House. They had unlimited pancakes, which Loki considered almost a dessert. It was a dessert he could eat for breakfast. He also had way too much fun ordering as many pancakes as they would give him and eating them all. He didn't look like he should be able to hold that many pancakes. You sat with him, eating a reasonable number of pancakes while he devoured his unlimited stack with glee. Once you had finished yours, you scrolled through your social media channels on your phone, reading out the best comments on your picture of you kissing Loki to him, making him laugh.

So you posted the picture of you kissing him while he wore his helmet. Then you logged into Facebook to make the relationship official. His phone dinged from his pocket. He pulled it out to look at the notification, curiously. You briefly explained how relationships weren't considered 'official' until they were on Facebook. He chuckled and pressed the button to accept the change.

Your social media blew up after that and you continued to enjoy reading the best comments and stories to him. You didn't read the comments aloud which called Loki an asshole for trying to take over the Earth. Those would just make your Loki sad. The Loki gleefully eating pancakes was much better than sad Loki.

You drove for a long while longer until you pulled into the parking lot of a huge amusement park well outside of the city. "Ta-da!" Loki announced, proud of his plan. With a name like 'amusement park' the place had to be fun in his mind.

You laughed. This was going to be fun. He'd had yet to go to an amusement park since he'd been on Earth. This would be fun indeed. You'd been to this park at least once a summer since you lived with Tony, so you knew it fairly well and knew exactly where the first stop should be.

After you made it through the front gates, you took Loki's hand more firmly and led him to the back of the park where your favorite roller coaster was. He laughed and let you drag him while he looked around the park in awe at all of the fun to be had here. The line for the coaster wasn't long yet, but you still distracted Loki with kisses while you waited. It was hard to see the ride from the line, and you wanted to surprise him with what a roller coaster was. You opened your purse when you got near the front of the line and held it out for him. "Phone," you told him, dumping yours in the purse too. He raised an eyebrow, but obediently put his phone in your purse. "You don't want to lose it," you explained vaguely.

The two of you climbed into the rollercoaster car and you briefly explained the seat belt and lap bar while you put yours on quickly. He grumbled about fragile humans, but obediently fastened all of the safety devices. "Don't stab the guy who checks the lap bar," you warned him as the ride operators started down the car to check. "It's their job,"

"Fine, I will not stab the people who work here," he mock-pouted. You watched him as the ride started, more entertained by what his reactions would be. He didn't know what was going on and it was adorable.

You turned your attention back to the ride at the top of the hill. You screamed in delight when the coaster started down the hill, shrieking as you felt your stomach drop. You laughed at Loki's shocked and nearly horrified expression, but he was soon laughing and enjoying the ride. You knew this ride well and knew how to lean into the turns to get as few bruises as possible. It was an old wooden roller coaster.

You and Loki were both laughing at the combination of the ride and the terrible state of both of your hair. You tied yours back quickly and offered him a hair-tie. He hesitated, so used to having his shoulder-length hair loose. You weren't sure if he'd ever tied it back before. You sighed and sat him down on a nearby bench so you could tie his hair for him.

You rode every coaster in the park with him as well as all of the other rides. He loved them all. You then taught him about the arcade games that could be played for prizes, namely stuffed animals. You briefly explained the tradition of the gentleman trying to win a prize for his lady. "Using magic is cheating," you reminded him when he wanted to try one, excited over the idea of winning the prize for you. He pouted, but agreed that he wouldn't cheat. He still managed to win you an adorable stuffed animal.

It was late when you two left the park. There was still one more adventure for the evening. He took you to a fancy restaurant in the middle of town, though he used magic to change his outfit to a suit before you entered the restaurant. "Cheater," you grumbled, making him laugh. He got out of the car first and came around to open your car door. You wondered briefly how he'd learned dating customs, but didn't focus on it at the moment. Instead you let him escort you into the restaurant. He gave his name for the reservations. The hostess looked shocked to not only find that she had a reservation in the name 'Loki Odinson' but that it wasn't a joke. Loki pulled out your chair for you and seated you at the table.

It was a lovely dinner of delicious food and conversation about the books you were reading. You also talked about your pet project in the lab and he gave some suggestions based off of the schematics he looked over. You must've looked shocked that he would make suggestions. "We have pretty sophisticated technologies on Asgard as well," he reminded you. "It's not my specialty, but I have studied them to some extent,"

"You do realize by telling me that, that you've resigned yourself to helping me in the lab, right?" you teased.

"Between that and teaching you Asgardian, I am truly doomed," he mock-whined.

"Was this worth dealing with me studying all week?" you asked him that night while he picked out a movie for the two of you to watch. You were both in pajamas. He handed you the movie he chose and you set it up on Tony's giant TV. You curled up with him on the couch and he wrapped a blanket around you. His body tended to run cool and he didn't want you to get cold cuddling with him.

"It was quite enjoyable," Loki said softly and kissed the top of your head. "Did you have fun?" he asked.

"Of course," you replied. You curled up more comfortably against him, not paying much attention to the movie. It was a long exciting day, outside for most of it, which was extra draining, since you never spent much time outside. On top of only three hours of sleep the previous night and a super stressful week, you didn't make it all the way through the movie.

You stirred ever so slightly when you felt cool muscled arms lifting you from the couch. You made a small questioning noise, mostly asleep. "Shh, darling," Loki whispered, soothing you cradling you to his chest. You were briefly aware of being tucked into your bed and a kiss on your forehead. "Sleep well, my darling," he bid you softly, his voice warm and loving.
