Unlocking the flat door a horrid smell fills your nose. Looking around you immediately know it's the eyeballs in the microwave. Loki turns his nose up and holds it the further into the flat you both went.

"What's that horrid smell?" Loki asks.

"Microwaved eyeballs," you say causally as you walk to the kitchen and open the fridge. There was Sherlocks severed head.

"Is that a severed head?!" You nod and places on gloves before rummaging around in the heads mouth looking for a key. Pulling out the gold key you smile and wipe away the saliva. Tossing the glove away you walk into Sherlocks room and lay flat on the ground to pull out the briefcase under his bed, Loki looks away as you bend down, a blush creeping up his face. "What exactly are we doing?"

"We... are looking for this!" You pull out the case and slowly unlock it, hearing a click you keep the case closed and get behind it. Opening up the case fully an arrow hits the wall where you would have been, Loki jumps at the sudden contraption. "Over the top," rummaging through the collection of different things you find the right thing.

"Cigarettes?" You nod and throw them out the window.

"He has been doing so well," you also find his needles and stash, you take out the needle and wrap the rest up in a cloth to dispose of later. Taking out the arrow from the wall you reload the trap and places the briefcase under the bed again. Walking out the room you put the key back in the head and start to sort out the kitchen. "Sorry if this is boring, I just have to sort things out while I'm here,"

"No, that's alright," Loki looks around the flat as you sort out Sherlocks notebook of experiments. Placing away mouldy solutions you note down any changes that would have happened. After the kitchen you walk to the living room where you dusted off Sherlocks violin and sat on Sherlocks chair, not noticing the dust. "You play?"

"Used to..." using a cloth you start to clean the violin. Loki looks at the files sprawled around the room, you stand up and place the violin in its case. Loki turns around and blushes deeply.

"Y/n..."

"What?"

"You have dust on your..." he points to his backside making your eyes widen.

"Oh shit," you start to wipe off the dust missing a great amount.

"There's still some-" Loki nervously walks closer and wipes the dust off just as Mrs Hudson walks in with some cookies.

"Oh! Dear, should I come back later?" You turn pink.

"No, it's not what it looks like!"

"Oh don't worry dear, when I was an exotic dancer me and my husband would do all sorts everywhere!" She chuckles making you and Loki even more embarrassed.

"Right, yeah ok thanks Mrs Hudson..." she places down the cookies on the table. "Anything you need?"

"Oh no, did you find everything you needed?" You give a nod and hold up the cloth. "Good job, I'm glad he's going on that trip to whatever that place was called, would be good for him," you nod. "You'll be going now?"

"Yeah, Sorry, Mrs H," she nods and walks to the kitchen to check around. Quickly you snatch a few cookies and put them in your mouth. "Hot hot hot!" You whisper to yourself. Holding in the pain, Mrs Hudson walks back into the living room.

"Well, I'll see you all later," you nod and her back the key before casually walking out the door, trying not to cry out in pain. "Y/n! Did you eat my cookies?!" You walk quicker down the stairs and yell back at Mrs Hudson.

"No! I don't know what you're on about! Bye!" Grabbing Loki's hand you both rush out the door.

Once back at your flat you open the door to see Anna cuddled up on the couch watching Endgame. Cat Loki was sitting confused beside her as the avengers escort Loki out of the elevator on screen.

"Seriously?" Anna spins around to face you both.

"What? You've watched this movie more times than I can count, shut up," rolling your eyes you place your keys in the bowl and kick off your shoes. "In all honesty, Loki, you served looks in 2012," Anna pops another piece of popcorn in her mouth as movie Loki escapes with the tesseract. Loki looks curiously at the screen just before you turn it off. "Hey!"

"You've been sitting on your ass all day, get dressed, we are eating out, I can't be arsed to cook and delivery is too expensive,"

"Fine..." Anna's eyes expand like her grin. "But we get to eat where I want," rolling your eyes you agree and wait for her to get changed.

~~~

Anna practically passed out in the guest bedroom when you all got home. Well that would explain where Loki slept last night. Once you came out of your bedroom in shorts and a shirt ready for bed you brushed your teeth and turned off the lights in the bathroom once you were done. Walking into the guest room you see your best friend passed out on the bed now in her pajamas. Rolling your eyes you closed the door and go check in on Loki.

"You ok?" You hold back a laugh as you see Loki's legs hanging off the edge of the couch.

"Yes, perfectly fine," he grumbles, shifting on the couch more.

"How about you take my bed?" He looks up and shakes his head.

"I don't think so," he says and lies back on the small pillow.

"Come on, just take the bed, that blanket is too small for you anyways," you look pointedly at the small blanket which barely covered him.

"I'll be fine,"

"Loki..." you push further.

"Trust me,"

"How about a compromise, both of us sleep in the bed?" His eyes widen. "Grow up, we are both adults, I don't bite," taking his hand you push him into your bedroom. Getting in your side of the bed, Loki hesitantly does the same on the other side. "Goodnight," you turn off the lamp by your bed and cuddle your pillow, falling asleep easily.

"Goodnight," he replies softly.
