You were still nervous as you walked up the steps to Peter's front door. "Best behavior, Loki," you warned him. Again. "This is important," you reminded him when he rolled his eyes. Again.

"I am aware this is important. I am aware that I must behave and be nice to the mortals. I cannot stab anyone and I must be polite and I cannot give away the spider's secret," he sounded petulant and grumpy.

"I'm sorry," you told him softly. You felt bad for harping. You leaned up and kissed his cheek. "You don't always get along the best with mortals who bore you, and Aunt May isn't interesting. She feeds us and is really nice, but she's boring and human,"

"It will be interesting to see a normal family dinner," he replied.

"If you can behave tonight, I'll surprise you with something fun to do Friday," you promised him. His expression changed to child-like glee.

"What fun will that be? Don't you have school?"

"You'll find out, but tonight has to go well," you told him, not feeling badly at all for bribing him to be on his best behavior.

"We have a deal," he replied with a grin. With that settled, you knocked on Peter's door. Aunt May answered almost immediately.

"Y/N, welcome!" she exclaimed and gave you a hug. You hugged her back.

"Hi Aunt May. Thanks for inviting me over for dinner," you told her with a real smile. "Dad's busy tonight with the company, so it was really good timing,"

"You're welcome anytime," she told you and stepped back from the door to let you in. She looked over Loki curiously.

"Aunt May, this is my boyfriend Loki Odinson," Loki's real father was Laufey, but he usually went by Odinson on Midgard. Thor was well-known, liked, and popular. Acknowledging the family connection could only be a good thing when introducing Loki to humans who only knew him from the events in New York. "Loki, this is Peter's Aunt, May Parker," you completed the introductions quickly.

"Thank you for inviting me, Mrs. Parker," Loki said with the elegant politeness he was so good at. It was a side you actually didn't see very often from him anymore. You saw the fun silly side he didn't show anyone else instead. From behind his back he presented her with a bouquet of roses.

"How thoughtful!" she exclaimed accepting the flowers. "Dinner's just about ready. Peter's in his room if you want to say hi before dinner,"

"Thanks, Aunt May," you waved and led Loki up to Peter's room. It was no surprise that he actually wasn't in there. You pulled your phone out and called him. "Where are you?" you demanded when he answered.

"Almost there! Sorry, I got tied up with a robber across town. Stall for me?" Peter demanded frantically.

"Fine. Just hurry!" you huffed at him and hung up the phone. You turned to Loki. "You can shapeshift, can you throw your voice too?" you asked him, coming up with a quick plan.

"Throw what?" he asked, raising an eyebrow in amused confusion.

"Can you make your voice sound like Peter's?" he nodded. You sighed in relief. "Stay up here, wait for Peter, make it sound like you're talking with him or playing video games with him or something. We need to stall for him until he can get here,"

"Very well. What will you be doing?"

"'Helping' Aunt May make dinner and set the table by getting in the way as much as possible," you told him. He nodded again, accepting your plan and your mischief for the purpose of keeping Peter's secret. "Thank you!" You kissed him quickly and went downstairs to distract Aunt May.

"Is something wrong?" Aunt May asked. You shook your head with an exasperated smile.

"No... you know boys. The second you get two of them together they dive into their video games and don't pay attention to anything else," you huffed. "I thought you could use a hand with dinner," you offered her with the innocent smile you'd perfected for use on Tony. It worked great on adults. So did your act of helping when you were really in the way.

Loki and Peter trampled down the stairs about ten minutes later and suddenly the table was set and dinner was on the table. Loki pulled out Aunt May's chair for her and then yours for you. "Such a gentleman," she commented, giving Peter a pointed look.

"You're my Aunt," Peter grumbled sourly, making all of you laugh. You grabbed a roll off of the plate next to you and then passed it to Loki.

"Take one and pass the plate to Pete," you told him softly. You gave a small apologetic smile to Aunt May. "Sorry, Aunt May. Loki's from...out of town and hasn't been to a real sit-down dinner before. You know Dad usually feeds everyone takeout..."

She nodded. "It's not problem," she replied, though looked a bit confused on just how far 'out of town' Loki was from. She had to know, but probably just hadn't consciously put two and two together. You talked about your classes with Aunt May and Peter and what classes you were taking next year. Peter bragged about his 'internship'. When you heard about it, and about Peter's financial situation, you made sure Tony made the 'internship' a paid position. It helped Peter out so much and you knew how grateful he was, though you never told him that you were the one who made the 'internship' paid. Loki briefly discussed how he worked with the Avengers, but tried not to answer too many questions about it.

"Y/N, please tell me you decided to come to the party Friday night," Peter begged. It was a dick move calling you out in front of Aunt May, like that. He cornered you into agreeing, especially when Aunt May cornered you too and together they ended up getting you to agree to go.

You changed the subject as soon as you could to getting Aunt May to tell embarrassing stories of Peter, which was fun and you reciprocated with embarrassing stories of the Avengers. Loki even told a couple of Thor from when they were children.

You and Loki both helped Aunt May clean up dinner and do the dishes. Loki didn't even complain about doing the chores the mortal way, which was extremely impressive for him.

"So what are we doing Friday?" Loki asked after you had said your goodbyes and left Peter's house. You stuck your tongue out at him.

"You'll find out on Friday," you replied with a grin. "Though we'll need some magic for it. And for you to not tell my dad,"

"This sounds like a better and better plan all the time,"

*

Friday morning came around and you and Loki walked to school as usual. Loki was carrying half of your heavy textbooks for you, since today was the last day of classes, so you had to turn them all in today.

"So what are we doing for fun?" Loki pouted at you. He'd been annoying you since Tuesday to tell him what your plans were. You grinned.

"You're spending the day at school with me," you told him.

"That sounds boring," he grumbled and pouted, pausing a step.

"On normal days it would be," you agreed, grabbing his hand to pull him along. "Today, however, will be fun. Trust me,"

"You said we needed magic for this plan?"

"You need to look more like a high schooler," you reminded him. He didn't exactly fit in.

"But by lifespan equivalencies-" he started to protest. You rolled your eyes.

"Teenagers don't look so damn hot, but I don't really want to change that," you grinned at him. He inclined his head regally, accepting the compliment. You did tie his hair back in a man bun and convince him to use magic to wear something less formal and more teenage-y. He also used some kind of spell where everyone else would see a generic student instead of Loki, except when you were kissing him. He couldn't stand the thought of people thinking anyone but him was kissing you.

When you reached the school, Loki just stared at the roof. "Why are there picnic tables up on the roof?" he asked, concerned, and amused.

"Those usually live in the outdoor eating area. Today is senior prank day," you told him with a grin. His eyes lit up.

"What is senior prank day?" he asked, all excited-puppy curiosity.

"It's a tradition on the last day of school the Seniors, the students who graduate this year, play pranks on the school, since unless they do something really illegal, they can't get in trouble for anything they do,"

The school was chaos the entire day. It was sometimes hard to tell which pranks came from the seniors and which came from Loki. The traditional pranks, like the principal's car being in the empty swimming pool, the three pigs loose in the school labelled 1, 2, and 4, and the cow on the third floor of the building seemed like they belonged to the actual seniors. The water in the other swimming pool being replaced with cherry cola, the hallway completely filled with bubbles, and all of the statues suddenly being in lewd poses were probably Loki's doing. The mariachi band that followed the principal around all day was a toss-up. The choir kids barricading themselves in the choir room using a barricade that looked remarkably like the one from Les Mis while singing "Do You Hear the People Sing" was probably a joint effort.

Loki gave high-fives to all of the seniors he saw in the hallways. They were easily identified by their senior t-shirts, which you were wearing one of. Those he saw pulling pranks he let see the real him, wearing his golden horned helmet so they would be absolutely sure who he was. The pranksters all gave him bows and salutes when they saw the real him.

At lunch that day, all of the seniors congregated around the giant Christmas tree they had set up in the middle of the cafeteria. They all circled around it, holding hands and singing the Who song from How the Grinch Stole Christmas, to the applause of the lowerclassmen.

Toward the end of lunch, Loki stood on the small raised platform at the front of the room. "May I have your attention?" he asked the crowd of students. All of the singing seniors stopped and turned to look toward the stage. All eyes in the room turned to him. You were standing just off stage, wondering what Loki was up to. On a hunch, you pulled out your phone and started recording.

He dropped his illusion, appearing in front of the room in his battle costume, horned helmet included. The room burst into applause as he spread his arms wide. The applause were loudest from the seniors. "I am Loki of Asgard!" he announced when the cheers died down some, joy on his face at the attention and fun he was having here. "Your pranks on this day have pleased me immensely. My regards to the Senior class!"

As one all of the seniors dropped to their knees and bowed down before the god of mischief and chaos while the rest of the crowd roared in applause.
