You were talking to Peter Parker who you called your "adopted" brother and you were waiting for Loki to return from Asgard because he said he was grabbing a few things there. You and Peter are like best friends and he was fun to be around, so was everyone else but since he was your brother, you told him everything. 

You two were talking about your favorite instruments and he asked if mayonnaise was an instrument. Of course, he would say something like that and you said yes to lift his spirits up. 

Loki came into the room and sneaked behind you and Peter saw him. Loki placed a finger on his lips for him to be quiet and Peter did so. As quick as a flash, Loki wrapped his arms around you and kissed your cheek while tickling your sides. You started laughing and saw who was tickling you.

"Ah! Loki-ii! L-Let go of me!" You squealed and both Peter and Loki laughed with you. Once Loki stopped, he placed a kiss on your lips and smiled. Peter left the room to see the rest of the Avengers and to give you and Loki time alone.

"I heard you two were talking about musical instruments," Loki said.

"Yeah, we did. Do you play an instrument?" You asked.

"Why yes. I'll go get it right now. Don't go anywhere." Loki said getting up and you stayed put on your bed, interested. A few minutes past and Loki entered the room with a big golden case in his hand. 

"Do you want me to play it for you?" He asked as he placed it on one corner of your bed. You nodded excitedly and he smiled while opening the case to show an instrument that you have never seen before. It looked like a little harp but with a back and a hole as if it was a guitar and it has a picture of red roses on it. You seem very interested to listen to it. 

"What is it?" You asked and Loki chuckled while putting on something around his pointer finger that had a pick connected to it.

"We Asgardians and Norwegians call it a Sitar, but you Midgardians you call it a Zither. Frigga taught me how to play when I was very young. This was Frigga's Zither, and before Asgard was destroyed, I quickly grabbed it and took it with me. It reminded me so much of her and the memories of playing for her." Loki explained and placed the zither on the bed and sat on your desk chair.

He plucked away with the picks he had and you were amazed at the sound it made. You loved it and you had the urge to just lay down and relax. The music flowed into you like magic and you love the feeling. 

After he finished playing, you were amazed at what it did to you. 

"Loki, I..." You were speechless at the sound.

"That was so magical! I loved it! Now, I want to play it." You said filled with happiness. 

"One day, I'll teach you but for now, we need to go to training," Loki said putting away the Zither and you groaned but then walked out with Loki to the training room.
