"Loki, can we go back upstairs now?" you asked softly, hiding your aching head against his chest and refusing to open your eyes. He kissed the top of your head.

"Of course, darling," you kept your eyes firmly closed and let him steer you back upstairs to your couch. You hadn't even noticed that he used magic to change both of your clothes back to the comfy lounge clothes you had picked out for your lazy Sunday. You growled when your phone started ringing from your pocket. You fished it out and answered without looking at it or the caller ID. "Hello?"

"Y/N, It's Samuel. I had to call and check to make sure you were safe today," his voice was short and no-nonsense.

"Yes, Samuel. I'm safe. Loki and I are spending the day in the heavily fortified Avenger's tower," you told him exasperated by everyone's constant concern, though you understood the reason behind it.

"And you trust them with your safety? They know what's going on today?" Samuel pressed. You finally figured that there was a more pressing issue here.

"Yes, they know and I trust them."

"I have pack business to take care of. Would Rachel be safe there too?" Samuel asked and you knew then how much he trusted you and the Avengers to even ask. He wouldn't be letting her out of his sight if he didn't trust her guardians.

"Of course she will. Do we need to come get her?"

"You're not going anywhere, you're in no shape," Loki told you firmly, nearly growling at the suggestion.

"No, I'll drive her over and pick her up later,"

"I don't need a babysitter!" Rachel's voice yelled from the background.

"We're about to start a Harry Potter marathon and drink tea in pajamas all day. I think there might be chocolate cake involved if we pester Loki enough. Tell her she's welcome to join us," you told Samuel. He relayed your message and Rachel finally agreed to come just to hang out with you. It saved face for her and let Samuel know she was somewhere safe. Everyone won.

"I'll call you when we get there and you can send Loki down to collect us. If I see you outside, I'll bite you myself," Samuel threatened loudly enough that Loki would be able to hear too. Loki chuckled.

"I'll see you soon," he said loudly enough that Samuel could hear him. You hung up then and finally risked opening your eyes so you could get the DVDs out while Loki summoned the tea and blankets and a selection of books. You also had Jarvis tell the rest of the team there'd be another wolf hiding out here soon. You had a nice comfy nest of couch cushions, blankets, and pillows built by the time that Samuel called you back.

"Loki will meet you downstairs in a minute," you greeted him. He laughed and hung up. You nodded to Loki and he went to go collect the wolves. You waited by the elevator for them to get up here. You hugged Rachel and Samuel when they got off the elevator. They both gave you a look and glanced at Loki. You flushed, and hoped they were nice enough to keep their mouths closed at what their noses smelled that you and Loki had done last night.

"Thanks for letting Rach hang out there," Samuel told you. "I wouldn't impose, but..."

"You don't trust Jareth and his wolves," you finished. He nodded.

"I won't leave her alone there with them and I have other pack business to work on,"

"Need help?" you asked automatically. He laughed.

"I need you two to help by staying out of danger. You'll keep them safe?" Samuel asked Loki.

Loki inclined his head regally. "I will,"

"Samuel, this building is a fortress and full of Avengers. We're not leaving the main floor of the tower. We'll be fine," you told him firmly. "Go take care of the pack. The worst that will happen here is Loki might get his nails painted," you smirked over at Loki while Rachel got a glint of mischief in her eyes too.

"Maybe if I bribe you with enough chocolate cake I can escape that fate," Loki suggested, but didn't sound convinced.

"Maybe if you find us another victim," you suggested innocently.

"That I might be able to arrange. You should escape before you get claimed as their first victim," Loki told Samuel. He wisely decided to leave before he got his nails painted, or worse.

You put the first Harry Potter movie on and settled in the nest of cushions and blankets. Rachel was already there curled on one side of Loki. He was surprised that she had just cuddled up to him and was not at all surprised when you curled up on his other side. He kissed your hair and pulled the blankets up over both of you. "All of you wolves are incorrigible cuddlers," he sighed in exasperation.

"Hush you or we get the nail polish out," Rachel threatened. Loki chuckled.

"You seem to have acquired another cuddle," Tony quipped from the elevator when he stepped out and saw the scene of two girls cuddled up with Loki, who wasn't complaining for some strange reason.

"Target acquired," you whispered to Rachel. She grinned and you both jumped to your feet. Before Tony knew what was happening, you and Rachel were both dragging him over to the middle of the living room.

"I thought they were supposed to be weak when they're without their powers!" Tony growled trying to fight off the two of you and failing without his suit. "Reindeer Games!" Tony actually asked Loki for help. Loki raised his hands in surrender.

"If I help you then I shall be submitted to the same torture," Loki replied, making no move to help. "And I would rather not. Ladies, do you require assistance?" he asked, choosing the correct side in this battle.

"Nah, we've got him," Rachel said as Tony was thrown onto his back on the floor.

"I'm going to get you for this," Tony growled. He was soon sat on by two werewolves.

"Love, we don't have any nail polish down here. Do you mind?" you asked Loki. He summoned a selection for you. "Thanks!" Tony struggled, but he was laughing now that he knew what you were up to.

"That pink doesn't go with my complexion. Pick the other one. No, not that one, yes!" he finally said. Rachel sat on his chest and painted his fingernails while you stripped off his shoes to get his toes. They were going to be obnoxiously bright purple.

"Do I even want to know what's going on in here?" Cap asked when he saw the sight. "No, no I don't," he answered his own question and just kept walking through the room quickly, followed by Bruce, who equally wasn't stopping to help Tony.

"Need help?" Nat asked you and Rachel as she took a picture of Tony getting his nails painted while being sat on by two werewolves with Loki looking on unhelpfully from the sidelines. You thanked her, but told her that you had the situation under control.

Tony was allowed to escape once his nails were painted. He ran for it the second he was free. He had thought the joke was funny once he was in on it, but he wasn't sticking around to find out what the two silly werewolves would come up with next. You calmly pained Loki's nails black, which he graciously submitted to. You were content after that to both curl back up using him as a pillow to continue your movie marathon.

"Brother?" Thor asked when he finally came into the room.

"I have been defeated by two cuddly werewolves. There was nothing I could do," Loki said mournfully, dramatically. You and Rachel both laughed and just cuddled better around Loki. "Such an awful defeat. Just leave me for dead, Brother, save yourself,"

Thor laughed and came over, lifting Rachel from the cuddle. She shrieked and struggled, but wasn't effective against the wall of muscle that was Thor. However, he settled her next to him a moment later after he had joined the next of pillows and blankets. "Warm~" she said softly and gladly curled up with Thor. He was the superior cuddle for her, as he really was stupidly warm. He chuckled.

"She's married, Thor. Don't get any ideas," you warned. You didn't think he was silly enough to think that cuddling from a werewolf was anything serious, but you wanted to make sure just in case.

"I would make no moves on a married lady," Thor replied formally. "However, your kind do not view cuddling as anything more than a friendly gesture, which I am perfectly capable of providing," he added. Rachel nodded, her eyes were already closing, a mix of tired from Winter's Moon, the exertion of forcing Tony to have his nails painted, and the warmth of her cuddle.

Loki flushed and looked at you, embarrassed as he realized that Thor might have warm that you needed and that was something he couldn't help with. "You're cold today. Would you rather-?" he asked softly, hesitantly. He would give up the contact with you and the cuddle he enjoyed to make you more comfortable. You made a small sad noise that he would even suggest it and held him tighter.

"Mine," you said firmly.

He kissed the top of your head and you heard the smile in his voice when he replied "Yes, darling, all yours,"
