#lee peter

This was why Loki had such a soft spot for the boy. Peter was just like a younger brother to Loki. He had always dreamed of having a younger sibling in his life. Thor was a great older brother, but sometimes Loki wished he himself could fill the role of being the big brother. He wanted to be someone the youth looked up to, came to for support, and slightly feared.

Peter, an only child, of course, loved the attention he received from Loki. Especially when he pulled off a decent prank. Growing up, he was absolutely terrified of Loki because of the 2012 alien invasion. But after living with the God for a few months, Peter decided he wasn’t that bad after all. He was just another victim of manipulation and mind control whose image had been warped by the media.

Peter liked talking with Loki mainly because he didn’t feel embarrassed about discussing his failures with him. As much as Peter loved and respected Tony, sometimes he felt like nothing he did would ever be good enough for him. Loki never gave off that vibe. Loki always teased Peter of course whenever he stopped by the library to ask for help. He would say “Wow. You must be truly desperate to come to me for help”. But then after making Peter chuckle, he would place his book back on the coffee table and take a look at Peter’s blueprints.

After months of bonding, the unlikely duo ruled the compound in prank wars and compassion. Thor was especially pleased to see Loki fitting in much better now with Earth's mightiest heroes. Loki enjoyed fulfilling Peter’s knack of curiosity about Asgard and all things alien. Loki even took the time to train Peter in some Asgardian hand-to-hand combat.

Although he wouldn’t say it out loud, Loki missed the boy while he was away at school. Loki didn’t relate as well to his other teammates and so he more often than not subjected himself to reading by himself in his room or library. He did enjoy when he was invited to play poker or any other board game, but it was never the same without Peter’s high amounts of energy shifting the moods of everyone he was around.

This is why Loki truly regrets the day he made the poor boy cry. Loki struggled with controlling his rage, and up until this point was able to push those emotions aside. But, for some reason, he was not able to control himself the day Peter broke his mother's vase.

The day started like usual. It was a Saturday so Peter didn’t have to go to school. The compound was scarce due to most of the team being on a mission somewhere in Africa. Steve decided Loki’s services were not needed this trip and asked him to hang back and keep an eye on the teenager. Loki happily obliged since he didn’t feel like going on a mission this time around.

Since most of the team of gone, Loki thought it would be fitting to teach Peter the skills of being stealthy. Peter was great at sneaking around and swinging up into rafters of buildings to hide. But, without his webs, he was pretty clunky on his feet.

Loki thought it would be wise to teach him these skills in case he gets into a situation where his web-shooters become disarmed or something. Peter was happy to learn from an experienced fighter and gleefully obliged to the training.

In this exercise, the game was similar to hide and seek. Peter was to sneak around the compound and see how long it would take for Loki to catch up to him. The only rule was Peter could not climb anything, and he could not settle down and hide for more than 5 minutes in a single spot. If Peter could avoid Loki for more than an hour, Loki promised he would allow the boy to try a sip of one of his special Asgardian spirits. That alone was enough to get the boy buzzed. Obviously Tony would never let this happen, so it was perfect he was on the mission.

Peter disappeared into the darkness of the compound as Loki counted to 100, giving Peter ample time to put some distance between themselves. Once he reached 100, Loki wandered around looking for the boy. Loki looked in the usual spots the boy liked to hang out. The kitchen, the common room, the gym, but there was no trace of the spider. Loki glanced at his timer and realized it had been 45 minutes somehow and he needed to hurry up or he would lose the challenge. Loki quietly stalked down the hallway leading to the living quarters and paused when he thought he heard something in the distance.

Listening intently, he heard a crashing sound and very quiet “ Oh shit” echoing down the hallway. Smirking, Loki bounded down the halls to find the culprit. He rounded the corner and noticed his bedroom door was agape. The silly boy had chosen to hide in his room. Clever, but not clever enough.

Loki jumped into his room to surprise the boy when he froze in his steps once he saw the scene laid out in front of him.

Peter was crouched next to Loki’s bookshelf hurriedly picking up pieces of broken glass. Loki flicked on the light to see what it was half expecting it to be a random coffee mug he haphazardly left in his room. But, to Loki’s horror, it was actually something much more important. It was a vase his mother had gotten him.

Now, Loki wasn’t a sentimental person, but just having the presence of an object that was so loved by his mother put his heart at ease. Frigga had given this to Loki upon his return to Asgard after the 2012 earth invasion. It was her way of showing that she still loved him even after the horrible things he had done. She would replace the flowers inside the vase weekly outside of Loki’s prison cell so he would have a constant reminder of her love.

Seeing that precious vase laying on the floor shattered to pieces caused Loki’s blood to boil. Without processing his next words he spat hateful things at Peter.

“You clumsy incompetent swine! I can’t believe that out of pure stupidity you waltzed into my room and destroyed something so priceless. You will never be a good fighter since you can’t even pay attention to your immediate surroundings without an ounce of danger in your presence.”

Loki’s harsh tone sliced through the air and pierced Peter deeply. Peter opened his mouth to apologize but nothing came out. His head hung low as he ran from the room, tears running down his cheek as he couldn’t hold them back.

The moment Peter disappeared from view, Loki was filled with guilt. How could he say such horrid things to Peter!? His mother would have most definitely scolded him if he ever talked to Thor that way. Loki was supposed to be the role model, and instead, he snapped and chewed up the kid for something that was a complete and utter accident. Loki could fix it with his magic if he really wanted to! Filled with regret, Loki went in search of Peter to give him a proper apology.

It didn’t take long to find the young boy. He was laying down on a couch in the common room, with his feet on the cushions and his knees tucked into his chest. Peter was no longer crying, but his eyes were still puffy and red. Loki walked over to the boy and gestured his interest in sitting down. Peter nodded and Loki sat down by his feet.

It was silent for a few moments until Loki spoke up.

“ Peter, you have no idea how incredibly sorry I am for the way I spoke to you. I should have held my tongue and not snapped like I did. You are like my little brother, and I should have treated you with the utmost respect. Will you please forgive me?”

Peter swallowed as he turned to lay on his back so he could see Loki face to face. Peter was never one to hold a grudge and he could see the sadness behind Loki’s eyes as he truly meant the words he spoke.

“ I I I forgive you. I re-really am sorry for breaking that vase. I uh should have paid more attention to my surroundings. Will you keep training me?”

Loki was tempted to hug the boy but fought against it because he didn’t want to invade his space while his emotions were high.

“ Peter, of course, I will still train you. It was a silly thing for me to get upset about. I can always fix it with my magic”. Loki looked down at his lap.

“ Well, what’s so important about that vase anyway? It obviously must mean something to you?” Peter trod lightly.

With a sideward glance, Loki chuckled and explained the history of the vase. Peter listened intently and now deeply understood Loki’s frustration and anger.

While Loki was telling the tale, he happened to place a hand on Peter’s foot that had made its way into his lap. Accidentally brushing his sole, Peter let out a shriek and clamped his hand over his mouth.

A mischievous twinkle appeared his Loki’s eyes as he realized what he had done. Gripping Peter’s foot tightly now, he smirked at the boy.

“ Well well well. It appears you are rather ticklish. How perfect the timing! I can’t let you stay sad forever, how about I cheer you up?”

Apparently, Peter’s feet were one of his worst spots because the moment Loki scratched 5 of his fingers against the sole, Peter howled and violently tried to shake his foot out of Loki’s grasp. Loki sneered as he pulled Peter closer to him and swiftly sat in his shins to hold his feet in place. Loki scribbled all over his feet and learned that when he swiped under his toes, Peter would squeal.

“ PLEHEHEASE LOKI IHHH AM NOT SAHAHAD ANYMORE”

Loki released his torturous grip on his feet and switch to his belly. Peter was already weakened by the previous attack, so he just allowed Loki to poke and prod at his stomach.

“ Wow. I never knew you could make such cute noises.” Loki teased as Peter quickly covered his face with his hands.

“ Hey! Don’t you be hiding your laughter from me boy!” Loki said as he dove his hands under the boy's arms. Peter slammed his arms down and started giggling like crazy.

“ Okayahaha Lo-Loki! I’m all chehehered up now!”

Loki could tell Peter was getting close to tapping out, so he stopped his tickling to allow the boy to breathe.

“ Okay okay. I see that smile. I guess you aren’t sad anymore. But just to make sure that frown doesn’t come back, I have one more thing in store for you” Loki grinned and quickly leaned down to blow a raspberry on Peter’s now exposed stomach.

Blow after blow caused Peter to just throw his head back, squint his eyes shut, and let deep belly laughter escape from his mouth. To make things even worse, Loki also spidered up one of his sides at the same time just to throw his nerves on the edge.

Once his laughter turned to coughs and hiccups, Loki relented his attack for good.

“Ehehe please do-don’t tell the others about this hehe. I can’t stand *hiccup* any more teasing.”

Loki chuckled and nodded. “ Of course. I want to keep this cute little tickle toy to myself now”. He reached over and pinched Peter’s beet red cheek.

“ In all seriousness, I really do regret all the things I said to you. How about I make it up to you and allow you to try my spirits as well as show you how I can fix the vase?”

Peter nodded gleefully and together the brothers from other mothers went in search of the liquor cabinet.

The night was then filled with even more helpless giggles as the unlikely duo stayed up late telling each other embarrassing tales and participating in more tickle fights until they both fell asleep on the ground.

One reason you knew this for a fact was that every time you came in contact with one of your previous attackers, they would taunt you, tease you, or flat out just tickle you for no reason claiming that you were “ Thinking” of revenge.

One time you had walked into the kitchen to grab a quick snack, and Bucky was drinking coffee at the table. You gave him a little wave and went to grab a muffin. When you turned around, Bucky had put his coffee down, and was wiggling his fingers at you. This immediately caused you to blush, and you ran out of the kitchen as fast as you could.

Loki seemed to be the one who teased you the most. He was one of your closest friends and so you spent lots of time together. Loki liked to claim that you intentionally hid your ticklishness from him and it was his “ duty” to tickle you to make up for all your lies and deceit. (Eye roll) Luckily, he was kind enough to not murder you, but still.

You and Peter were playing on your switch alone in the common room. Currently, you were kicking his butt in Mario Kart. Once you had completed a few races, you paused the game. “ Peter, I think it’s time we finish our prank battle. I have the perfect idea for it too. It will even help us get revenge on the tickle monsters too.” Peter blushed when you mentioned the T-word, but didn’t hesitate to ask what your new diabolical plan was. He was a pretty sensitive kid and even though you didn't see what Steve and Bucky did to him, you sure heard his screams from down the hall.

Peter surprised you with his next question, as it was poised with some hesitation. “ Y/n, I want to continue this battle just so I can win two years in a row, but what do you think will happen to us if a few certain someones find out about it? Maybe we should stick with our original targets and hope for the best.” You pondered this for a moment before agreeing. If you only pranked the teammates on your original list, then the chances of the men finding out were slim. “ You are right Peter, let’s just prank our original targets and hope for the best. If we do get caught, you can blame me for pushing you into continuing”. Peter stuck his hand out for you to shake, sealing the deal.

Your new idea was to wake up extra early before the team woke up, and instead of throwing water balloons at them, you decided glitter bombs would be much funnier. Your teammates would probably be dazed and not see who was attacking them, so it was perfect. Once the final details were discussed, you resumed your Mario Kart competition with smiles and rosy cheeks excited for the following morning.

Little did you two know that Loki, Thor, Steve, and Bucky had a secret meeting amongst themselves as well. And this time, they weren’t alone. The four men had expected you two not to listen, so they waited for you and Peter to go do “ kid things” and then invited the rest of the team to the library knowing they could conspire a plan without you two walking in on them. Steve, being the captain and all, lead the meeting.

“Thank you all for gathering here today. We have a very important subject to discuss.” Steve motioned to Thor, Loki, and Bucky. “ ’m sure some of you are well aware of a certain duo running around rampant pranking their teammates. Some of us, even got hit with water balloons last week”. Sam spoke up when he heard this. “You people got hit too!? Man, those kids are gonna pay”. Everyone laughed. Steve spoke up again. “ And that’s why you are here today! We found these little pranksters and tickled them pretty good, but apparently not good enough. We overheard them getting ready to prank again. That’s where you come in. If these kids try to pull something on you, please let one of us know and we will make sure this is the last of it. Understood?” Everyone laughed at this and nodded in agreement.

Steve released everyone and headed out to the gym to exercise. Loki quickly caught up to Tony before he fully left the room.

“ Hey, Stark! Might I ask a favor from you?” Tony turned around and grinned at the God. “ No Loki, you cannot have your scepter back,” he teased. Loki just rolled his eyes.

“ I was wondering if by chance we could use your lab once we catch these unsuspecting mortals. I’ve heard it’s the perfect place to get people to behave.” Tony barked out a big laugh and rested his arm over Loki’s shoulder. “ Ya know, I’ve really come to like your way of thinking. Follow me, I got just the thing for these little squirts”. The two walked out of the library together headed toward their new destination.

***

The following morning you were awoken by a bright light shining throughout your room. It was Peter. “ Dude what the Fu—“ you were instantly shut up by Peter’s harsh Shhhing. “ Shhh! Your gonna wake the whole building! Let’s go! “ You groaned slightly and glanced at your clock. It read 3:10 am. There was no way anyone else would be awake at this hour. Perfect.

You slid on your slippers, grabbed your box of glitter bombs, and went in search of your next target.

You and Peter crept up to Wanda’s door. This was the perfect first stop because Wanda and Vision shared a room and you each had one or the other as a target. You gracefully opened the door and peered inside. As you expected, they both were sleeping peacefully. You and Peter each grabbed a balloon and tossed it on top of the bed. You had filled the balloons with water and glitter to make it even harder to clean up. The forceful landing caused them to explode on contact, and you and Peter quickly shut the door and raced down the hallway not wanting to see their reactions just in case they decided to chase after you two.

You both repeated this process until everyone on your list had been glitter bombed. Luckily, no one had ran after you so you were able to head back to bed at a somewhat reasonable hour. You gave Peter a hive five and retired back to your room. It was 3:30 am now which meant you could still get a few more hours of sleep. Once your head hit the pillow, you passed out.

****

You woke up after a few hours to a pair of very strong hands picking you up and throwing you over their shoulder. You were extremely groggy and could only make out a metal arm; It was Bucky.

“ What the hell Bucky? I’m trying to sleep! We can spare later.” You spoke groggily as you rubbed your eyes.

Bucky only chuckled. “ We warned you about pranking again Y/n. Also, you called me old and I don’t think I can let that slide either. You deserve what’s coming”. You immediately started to struggle, even though it was of no use. You knew they would get you back eventually, but you were not planning on them finding out so soon.

Bucky carried you down to Tony’s lab. Once inside, you noticed Peter in the same predicament, only he was being carried by Thor. Bucky gently placed you on the ground and gave you a warning look. You knew trying to run would be pointless, so you stood and watched as Thor put Peter on the ground too.

Steve broke the silence. “ We warned you two about continuing this prank battle. So now you must face the consequences. But don’t worry, we are going to make this extra fun!” You and Peter gulped and tried to argue back. “ Mr. Rogers sir, look we promise we are done now. I obviously won the battle, so there is no need for us to continue!” You shot Peter a death glare. “ Hey! You did not win! I obviously had the better ideas”. Loki spoke next. “ Ahh you see this guys? They are just asking for tickles at this point. I didn’t hear a single apology from either of them. Shall we start this laughter session now?”

You and Peter took a step back from the group. This was going to be bad, realllly bad. Suddenly you were picked up by Bucky and taken over to a cot that was set up in the corner of the lab. Tony liked to work late sometimes so he had a couple of cots laying around for his “ Beauty rest”. You were tossed onto your back and Bucky held your hands above your head. He then gave you a very evil smirk and let go. You tried to pull your arms down but found you couldn’t move them at all. Loki peered over you and gave you a wink. “ Magic! Hold on, that is soooo not fair!!” Loki reached over and pinched your side. “ All is fair when the trickster God is involved”. You let out a squeak and shifted away from him. Your face was already red from nervousness and you stole a glance at Peter. He was in the same boat as you, pinned with his arms above his head but with Thor sitting on his legs. Peter was already giggling at the thought of his near future.

“ How did you catch us so quickly!? No one was even awake when we pranked the others!?” You asked Steve, genuinely curious.

Steve grinned evilly and said, “ Wouldn’t you like to know! As captain, I choose not to tell you as our methods may come to good use in the future”. You groaned as Bucky sat on your thighs holding you in place. You immediately started giggling when Bucky lightly started tracing his fingers around your upper legs. Why on earth did you wear shorts to bed last night!

Thor heard this and spoke up. “ Why brother, the young maiden is already laughing. I bet we can make the boy laugh harder don’t you think?” Steve laughed and said “ Oh a challenge? These two are very competitive so it only makes sense to have them compete for the “Loudest Laughter” award! Bring it on!”

Now you really regretted your decision to continue the pranking.

With the smell of competition in the air, Bucky stopped his light tickles and dove right in. He wanted to make you squeal. These four men were VERY competitive folks, which meant no mercy was to come for either of you.

Bucky wormed his hands up to your belly and started pinching and squeezing up and down your thighs. You snorted every time he squeezed your hips and then let out a chain of maniacal giggles when he got close to your ribs. Steve kept teasing you saying “ Awe does that tickle?” Or “ Come on laugh harder! We have a competition to win”. Soon enough he got bored of watching Bucky do all the work and he drove his fingers into your arms pits. You were losing your mind laughing and squirming to the best of your ability. Loki’s magic made it even worse knowing you couldn't protect yourself. Damn him.

Bucky and Steve gave you a quick breather once they heard a very high-pitched squeal come over from Peter. Thor was pinching up and down Peter’s thighs while Loki drilled into the poor kid's armpits. Peter’s armpits were easily his worst spot and he was screaming pretty loud at this point.

You giggle slightly seeing Peter in such a tizzy, but unfortunately, you didn’t keep that to yourself.

“ Ready to laugh already? We were gonna give you a longer break after listening to Peter sing but I guess it’s time for us to find your singing voice.” Steve winked at you as he and Bucky switched spots. Steve was now facing your feet and Bucky was crouched next to you. You saw Steve reach for your feet and you starting kicking them trying to make it as difficult as possible for him to catch them.

“ Oh, I think I found it! Do you have ticklish feet Y/n?” You blushed and nodded your head. “ Yehehehs!! So please please leave them alone. We are sorry for the pranks we promise!!” You tried to plead but Steve just chuckled and grabbed your left foot. You had no socks or shoes on since you were ripped from your bed. All it took was Steve to slide a finger up and down your sole for you to really freak out. “ NO STEVE PLEAHEHESE IM SORRAHAHY!! NOOO!!” Steve rapidly scraped his nails across your foot and wiggled his fingers under your toes which really made you screech. You were bubbling with laughter and your squeaks were very high-pitched. Bucky walked up to your head and started fluttering his fingers across your ears and neck causjg you to shake your head frantically and squeal even louder. The feeling were maddening and Bucky knew exactly what he was doing to create the butterfly sensation in your stomach. Steve was now not only torturing your feet still, but had also resorted to squeezing your kneecaps and laughing as you flinched and spazed out at each and every squeeze. You were in tickle hell, and your stomach was rapidly jumping up and down as you let out deep belly laughs and shrieks of mirth.

Peter was also letting out shrieks of laughter as Loki methodically rubbed in between each and every rib, but he was nowhere near as loud as you. Good thing Tony had sound proofed his lab, otherwise you were sure the whole tower would be racing down to find the cause of the screaming.

To make things even worse, Bucky gently lifted the hem of your shirt and started rubbing his stubble across your belly. Thanks to Loki’s conversation with Tony, Steve had managed to find one of Tony’s paintbrushes and he was weaving the soft bristles up and down your foot, leaving no spot untouched. Thor and Loki had given Peter a break because they wanted hear and see what got you laughing so hard.

You went into hysterics feeling the two sensations and you used the last of your energy to buck your hips trying to escape the extremely ticklish feeling. Bucky easily held you down and started his cascade of raspberries all over your abdomen. You soon fell silent as tears spilled from your eyes and hiccups exploded from your chest. The boys slowed at this and let you take a breather. Steve was still lightly running his nails up and down your thighs keeping you giddy, but the onslaught was over.

“ Wow. I do believe the young maiden was much louder than Spider kid here. I say you men have won this battle”. Thor said as he got off of a very red and very giggly Peter.

“ What can we say? We are the superior ticklers ya know” Bucky teased back. Loki rolled his eyes and with a snap of his fingers you and Peter regained control of your arms and curled up into protective balls. Even though the tickling had stopped, you could still feel the phantom sensations of the paintbrush bristles attacking your foot. “ Holy Shit Steve. Never touch my feet with a brush eveheher again! You about killed me!!”

The four men laughed a little and helped you two stand up.

“ We are so so sorry. We pr-o-mise to not continue our pranks.” You said with a hiccup. Peter nodded his head in agreement. Deep down the team knew you would pick it back up next year, but no one said anything out loud.

“ Good. Now scurry along so the grown-ups can talk, or we might just start this party back up again.” Loki said wiggling his fingers in your direction. With a shudder, you both bolted from the lab without another word. You were not going to risk another tickle assault by being sassy back.

“ They are just going to do this again next year ya know”, Bucky said watching you run down the hallway.“ “Yup. But that means we have an entire year to tickle them senseless every time they mess up.” Steve said with a smirk.

“ Hello Spider kid! Looking for your prized pop tart treats? Well, I think I ate them all. But don’t worry! I have asked Stark to order some more!”

Peter finally escaped Thor’s grip and laughed. “ It’s alright Thor, I’m not upset. Why do you like them so much anyway? Don’t you have treats like that on Asgard?”

Thor gave Peter a confused look. “ Certainly not dear boy! We Asgardians don’t like to subject ourselves to that much sugar. How else do you think we stay so healthy?”

All of a sudden a lightbulb went off in Peter’s head. Asgardian culture would be the perfect topic for his essay, and he had two perfect people he could question. Although he wasn’t entirely sure if most of the world even knew about Asgard, Peter knew it would be a cool read. The only problem was like Peter didn’t want to annoy the two brothers. Reason number one was because Loki intimidated him, and Peter didn’t want to be on his bad side. Reason number two was he didn’t want to be embarrassed for choosing Asgard as his topic.

Peter decided the best course of action would be to secretly take notes and not tell the brothers until after his paper was completed. That way he could just act like he was curious and not researching them.

Peter then went to work. He started his research in the library because Tony was bound to have at least one book on Asgard in there.

Unfortunately, those books were only slightly helpful. Most of them weren’t even in English, and Google translate couldn’t even help. Defeated, Peter started to put the books away in their rightful spots. He had been so focused, he didn’t even realize a dark-haired demigod had snuck into the library.

“ Interested in Asgard are we boy?” A snide voice said from the shadows of the bookshelves. Peter dropped the remaining books in his hands as he scrambled to turn around. Loki had a novel in his hand and was walking toward Peter with a curious expression.

“ Oh uh hi Mr. Loki sir. I was uh just looking into these books for a uh school thing. Thor had mentioned that you don’t eat lots of sugar in Asgard so I was just seeing what snacks you eat instead.” Peter stammered out the white lie. He was telling the truth, it was for a school project and he was curious about what Asgardians eat on a typical day. He just left out the part where he was researching Asgard for a project.

Loki could tell Peter was hiding something but didn’t push it. He didn’t really care if an earthling was interested in his home, he just wanted to get back to reading. “ Well, feel free to ask Thor and me any questions you please. We would be more than happy to clear up any questions your little mortal heart desires. Just be mindful, I do get annoyed easily and then I won’t be too happy. Deal?”

Peter let out a little sigh of relief knowing that the Gods were okay with questions.

“ Thank you, Mr. Loki! I promise I won’t annoy you! Do you have time for one question? These books weren’t very helpful.”

Loki pondered the kids' request. “ Oh I suppose. But make it quick, I was rather enjoying my novel before I was interrupted”.

Peter excitedly grabbed his notebook and pen. “ So, because you don’t eat lots of sugar and processed foods, what sort of stuff do you eat in Asgard?”

Loki chuckled at the silly question but answered anyway. “ Well, we have lots of fruits and fresh cheese. I myself enjoy grapes and almonds for my snacks. For meals, we usually have wild boar or beef along with potatoes, bread, and a variety of vegetables. All freshly made of course. Does that fulfill your curiosity?”

Peter nodded vigorously and finalized his notes. He quickly thanked Loki and went off on his way.

Over the course of the next few days, Peter’s paper was almost completed. He may have gone a bit overboard with his questions, but in his opinion, it had paid off. He hoped he hadn’t annoyed the brothers too much, but it was interesting learning about a city on a completely different planet. So far this is what he had found out about Asgard:

Their weapons may appear to be melee, but in fact, are more advanced in technology than Earth. They use Swords, Axes, Shields, Daggers (Lokis's favorite) and some use magic.

Travel is done almost solely by the Bifrost. Asgardians pride themselves on not using spaceships and cars as other planets do. The Bifrost is connected to “ The rainbow bridge” ( Peter nearly got smacked for trying to compare that to the Mario Kart track)

Asgardians can live for about 5,000 years. ( Peter didn’t dare ask how old the brothers were)

This information was more than helpful for Peter. He checked his notes and saw that he only had one more question to ask the brothers. He just needed to figure out what kinds of hobbies and sports Asgardians liked to do. Peter doubted they played football or baseball but figured they must have something similar.

Peter meandered the halls looking for one of the Asgardians. The compound was pretty quiet today. Bucky and Steve had gone golfing, Vision and Wanda went to see a movie, and Tony was tinkering in the lab like usual. The remaining team members were probably training or hanging out in their respective rooms. It was getting late, so Peter was hoping to find the brothers before they went off to bed. They were both notorious morning people, so they didn’t tend to stay up late. Peter pondered on that for a moment. Maybe that was another cultural aspect of Asgard he didn’t even think about.

As Peter rounded a corner, he heard two deep voices bickering in the living room. Peter entered the room to see Thor sitting in an armchair and Loki on the couch. They were arguing but in a friendly way.

It appeared the brothers were arguing over whether midgardian baseball or basketball was better. Neither person was actually mad, just poking fun at each other. Peter was glad to hear this was the conversation they were having because then his question wouldn’t feel so random.

Peter walked in and sat on the couch next to Loki. Thor gave him a nod and Loki turned to look at him curiously. Without missing a beat, Peter asked his question.

“ Well obviously you guys are fighting over the wrong sports. Here in America, Football is the best sport. What about in Asgard? What kinds of games do you play there?”

Both Loki and Thor looked slightly taken aback that someone dare tell them they were wrong. Peter didn’t mean for it to come out that way and started to regret it once he saw the look on their faces.

Loki turned and looked at Thor. “ Brother, why don’t we show this child what our favorite game to play is hmm? Some might call it a sport.”

Thor chuckled out loud and gave Loki a mischievous look. Peter was nervous now. It was as if the brothers were communicating with each other just with looks.

Without any hesitation, Loki leapt across the couch and pinned Peter down. Thor was quick to help as he came over and sat the the boys hips while Loki scrambled to hold his arms. Once pinned, Loki said “ Now remember boy, I did try to warn you about annoying us with your silly questions. But this time, you had the audacity to insult us? Well, I think you will rather enjoy this game.”

Peter tried to escape, but it was no use. He was stuck for good. But in the back of his mind, he was curious as to what game they were talking about.

“ You see young insect, this game is also great for dealing with annoying children who ask too many questions. I did try to warn you, but it seems you wanted to push my buttons”. Loki smirked down at Peter as he spoke teasingly.

“ So in this game, it’s you Vs Loki and me. We tickle you senseless and there’s nothing you can do about it. Maybe this will teach you not to annoy Asgardians.” Thor said as he placed his hands on Peter’s ribs.

Now Peter was deathly ticklish. And up to current, only Tony knew about it.

Peter tried to beg, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. His begging was soon replaced by rapid giggles as Thor kneaded into his lower ribs.

“ I ahhhamm soooo so so sorry! Pleahehess let me go! I promise to not ask any more quesTIons!!” Loki just rolled his eyes and held Peter’s wrist tighter. “ You wanted to know what Asgardians are like. Now you will know first hand that we do not do mercy”. With that Loki released Peter’s hands and dove into his armpits causing Peter to screech. He brought his arm down trying to protect the delicate skin but Loki was skilled and ruthless. Thor was spidering one hand on Peter’s ribs while the other consistently kneaded into Peter’s sides and hips. When Loki drilled into Peter’s highest ribs, he noticed his voice jump an octave and become more shrill.

“ Isn’t he adorable brother? We should do this more often” Loki teased as he started lightly spidering his nails across Peter’s neck. This action caused Peter to yelp and his giggles continued nonstop. Peter tried to scrunch up his shoulders, but Loki easily kept his head pinned, exploiting each sensitive spot that caused the poor boy to scream.

Thor and Loki were enjoying this game. Peter was basically their adopted brother and seeing him so happy and carefree could lift anyone's mood.

The brother kept this friendly torture going until Peter’s face was dripping in sweat and tears. Somehow, his voice wasn’t silent, but every word he tried to speak was masked with pleasant giggles and squeaks.

Thor halted his fingers and motioned for Loki to do the same. Loki had found an extremely sensitive spot under his chin and Peter’s eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head.

“ Well, it appears that this game is nearly over. Good job brother! We have won again!” Thor and Loki high-fived. When Peter’s breathing had slowed he let out a breathy “Nearly done!!?” He couldn’t believe that they were going to continue the onslaught. Peter didn’t think he could handle much more!

Thor gently lifted Peter’s shirt to expose his belly. “ Well, no game can be completed without a celebratory feast! I must finish this with some raspberries. Loki, please hold him still”. Peter used the last of his energy to try and squirm off the couch. But, all his squirming was futile.

Thor placed his beard-clad face in Peter’s stomach and let out a cascade of raspberries. Peter let out an “ NOOO—“ but was soon cut off by his own laughter. His eyes were squeezed shut and he tried to buck his hips. All this did was cause thors prickly beard to rub his belly too, which was extremely ticklish. 30 seconds of this and the boy toast. Thor stopped his attack for good and ruffled his hair as he stood up. Loki followed suit and helped Peter sit on the couch.

Peter couldn’t form a full sentence for a few minutes but when he finally did he said “ Oh my gosh please don’t do that again! You both are relentless!” Loki and Thor laughed and handed Peter his notebook.

“ You know Peter, we weren’t actually annoyed with you. We quite enjoyed your interest in our home. Please feel free to ask any more questions so your paper gets a good grade.” Loki said as he handed Peter his pen. Peter just nodded and asked Thor and Loki about other hobbies and sports they like to participate in.

***

Peter flipped over his paper to see what grade he got. He was shocked to see an A+ written at the top in bold. He quickly texted Thor and Loki the good news.

The main reason he did so well was that he wrote about how tickling is a way for Asgardians to show their love and appreciation to each other, even if they are ruthless.

These were simple rules yet they allowed for lots of adventure and wiggle room. Like most things in life these little pranks soon built up to be something more than that. It quickly became a competition between you and Peter on who could prank the most people over the summer.

You two had set up a perfect system that none of the other avengers knew about. Deep down in the basement where leftover equipment, extra weapons, and supplies were kept, you and Peter had renovated a chalkboard with tally marks next to who you pranked and the person’s initials of who completed said prank. Last year, Peter had managed to win by pulling the last-minute prank on Steve and Bucky, which pushed him over the finish mark deeming him Prank Champion for the rest of the year. You were committed to winning this year though. You had been planning your pranks all year and we're excited to use them.

The hardest part of your prank battle was not getting caught. You and Peter had to think of things that were annoying yet not “ Labeled” as pranks. If the team knew what you were up to, you both would be doomed by whatever punishment they concocted.

You and Peter met in the basement and shook hands, signaling the start of the prank war. You had exactly 6 weeks of pranking before a winner would be decided.

As the weeks went by, you and Peter were pretty much neck in neck. So far you had pranked Steve and Bucky by swapping their toothbrushes. It took a few days before Steve realized he had been using the blue toothbrush and not his prized red one. This resulted in Bucky and Steve blaming each other which made it way more entertaining.

Your next completed prank was when you had stolen Sam’s cell phone and changed his ringtone to “ Barbie Girl By Aqua”. It was hilarious because he wasn’t that tech-savvy, and no one helped him change it back. After a while, he just kept his phone on silent so no one could hear it.

Your final prank up to date was a pretty bold one and you were surprised you didn’t get caught. You had managed to sneak into Loki’s bedroom one day while he was off in the library and you had completed re-arranged his bookshelf. You had heard him and Thor arguing one day about how organized Loki was and how Thor couldn’t stand it. Loki on the other hand couldn’t understand why his “ Dimmwitted brute of a brother could be so careless and leave his possessions just lying about”. You figured this was the perfect cover and tried to mess some other things up in Loki’s room to look like it was Thor that had done it. You must have been successful because you could hear them bickering for the rest of the night.

You and Peter met up in the basement to share your stories. Even though it was a competition, you both enjoyed hearing what you both had thought of. Peter and you were tied after he had successfully pranked Wanda, Vision, Thor, and Tony. Peter was able to prank them all at once. He got up early one morning and made muffins for the team. Except, instead of using sugar, he used salt. He played along and ate the muffins with the team ( he was committed). He then told the team that you had been practicing your baking skills and apparently really needed more help. No wonder Wanda tried to get you to join a cooking class. After you had shared a few laughs, you were about to leave when Peter came up with the most brilliant idea. Since you were both tied and you only had one week left of this little competition, you decided to both play the same prank, and see how many people fell victim to it.

You both pondered what you could do when an idea popped into your head.

“ Peter, I got it! I know exactly what we should do!” Peter slammed his laptop shut and looked at you, eyes wide and full of excitement and wonder. “ Well spill the tea Y/n! What did you come up with?” That’s when you told him. “ Well, since it is the end of summer and the weather is still really warm, what if we helped the team cool off a little bit?” You smirked. Peter anxiously nodded his head, wanting you to continue. “ I think we should fill up some water balloons and wander around the compound looking for our teammates. When we find someone alone, I say we run up to them, yell CATCH and throw the water balloon at them. If they fail to catch it and it breaks, that person gets a point. If they successfully catch it, then that person loses a point! We each will be assigned team members, that way we don’t prank the same person twice. Deal?” Peter’s grin doubled in size. This was going to be so much fun.

You both put all the Avengers' names in a hat and drew them at random so it didn’t appear like either one was cheating. You drew the names Vision, Loki, Thor, Natasha, and Sam. Peter was left with Wanda, Bucky, Steve, Bruce, and Tony. The other members of the team were gone for the summer. The only rules you two determined for this new competition was that the person you were pranking had to be alone, you and Peter had to be together ( for eyewitnesses of course) and you both decided it was best to hit them all on the same day to lessen the chance of the team sharing what happened to other members.

The following morning, you woke up and were eager to get the pranks rolling. It was agreed you would start with Sam. He always worked out in the mornings, so it was the perfect place to catch him alone. ( No pun intended). You and Peter raced to the gym and observed your surroundings. Sam was all alone as expected. You silently tiptoed over to where he was running on the treadmill. He glanced over at you and gave you a little wave. Sucker.

You quickly pulled out your first balloon. “ Hey, Barbie Girl!! CATCH!” You yelled and threw the balloon at his face. Sam obviously was not paying attention and was instantly covered in ice-cold water. Before he could chase after you, you booked it out of the gym and high-fived Peter in the hallway. One point for you!

Next was Peter’s hit. You both agreed to bend the rules a little and allow for the team members to not be alone. Steve and Bucky were very hard to find alone. As you scoped the compound for them, you eventually found them playing Mario Kart. Peter gracefully snuck in behind them. You watched as Peter yelled, “ Catch!” And threw his two balloons. Bucky was quick and caught his before it popped. Steve on the other hand wasn’t so lucky. He too was hit with icy water. Bucky laughed and then threw his water balloon at Steve and said “ That’s for stealing my toothbrush!” And you and Peter left before they could come after you.

You and Peter were tied, and Thor was next on your list. You found him in the kitchen enjoying a Pop-tart. Like before, you scoped your surroundings and saw no one in sight. You reached into your bag and grabbed a balloon. Right as you extended your arm, a voice startled you from behind. “ And I thought I was the mischievous one”. Thor turned at the sound of his brother's voice. Loki had snuck into the kitchen at the perfect moment. ( Well for Thor). You quickly dropped the balloon back into the bag. “ Uh what do you mean. I wasn’t doing anything.” Loki rolled his eyes. “ Oh sorry, I didn’t realize throwing a balloon filled with water at my brother was nothing”.

Thor spoke up. “ Lady Y/n, I thought we were friends! I can’t believe you do such a thing.” Suddenly you saw a twinkle in his eyes. Uh oh. “ Loki, would you like to help me torment lady Y/n, the Asgardian way?” Loki just chuckled and you took this as your reason to run. “ Peter! RUN!” You both ran out of the kitchen as fast as you could. It wouldn’t take long for the Gods to catch you, but you weren’t planning on making it easy for them.

You heard thundering footsteps behind you, hot on your heels. You both made a hard left as you ran toward the patio. If you made it outside, Peter could use his webs and launch you guys out of there. You both made a right turn and you could see your freedom. Suddenly, two figures popped into view and blocked your exit. You and Peter slowed down and came to a stop. It was Steve and Bucky. Steve’s shirt was still damp from Peter’s attack earlier.

You and Peter went to turn and run back the way you came, but Thor and Loki had already caught up. You and Peter were now stuck between two Gods and two super soldiers. You were both screwed.

Thor broke the awkward silence. “ Captain, why is your shirt so damp?” Loki rolled his eyes and spoke rather flatly. “ Because someone threw a water balloon at him you big dope. I was able to save you from your onslaught.” Steve spoke up next. “ Wait a minute. You are saying that these two trouble makers attempted to throw water balloons at you guys too?” You and Peter gulped. Your little game was over. You had officially been caught.

Bucky then quickly grabbed Peter and pulled him over to where he and Steve were standing. “ So Peter. What are we gonna do to you?”

“ It was Y/n’s idea! She’s the one who should be punished!” You playfully hit peter on the shoulder. “ How dare you accuse me! You are the one that hit Steve, not me. Have all the fun you want with him, boys”. You gleefully said. That smile was quickly ripped from your face when Loki said “ Actually dear one, you are at the same amount of fault as the spider boy here. Which means, you deserve the same amount of punishment. What do you think Thor? Does she look like a ticklish one?” Your face went beet red. This could not be happening.

“ Great idea Loki! You and Thor can tickle Y/n, and Steve and I will tickle Peter. Luckily for us, we already know he’s insanely sensitive.” Bucky then swiftly dug his hands into Peter’s armpits. Peter laughed instantly and collapsed to the floor. It didn’t take long for Steve and Bucky to carry Peter down the hallway to a nearby couch for his punishment.

As Peter’s screams echoed down the hallway, you went to make a break for it. Unfortunately, Thor was expecting this and easily picked you up and carried you to the common room. You were tossed onto the couch, and soon Loki was straddling your legs while Thor held your hands above your head.

“ Guys, I didn’t even do anything! You don’t have to do this!!” You pleaded. “We don’t have to do anything Lady Y/n,” Thor began. “ But we really want to!” Loki finished.

Loki then started lightly poking your abdomen looking for weak spots. At the same time, Thor was lightly spidering his fingertips up and down your arm, each stroke getting closer to your exposed armpit. It didn’t take long to get you giggling.

“ Guyahahas please stopped! I’m sorrahahyy!!” You giggled out. “ You should have considered that before you attempted to throw something at me,” Thor said with a wink. Thor then let go of your arms and shoved them into your armpits. You officially cracked and let out a screech. To top it off, Loki heard your screech and started massaging your hips with one hand and your ribs with the other. You wiggled and bucked trying to get the two brothers away from you. “ Just apologize for all the crimes you have committed this summer and we will consider giving you mercy,” Loki said as his finger dipped into your belly button and you let out a high-pitched squeal. “ LOKI REMOVE YOUR HAND PLEAAAHAHASEE!!” You shouted as tears fell down your cheek. These two were very skilled ticklers and were not letting up.

“ Apologize for messing up my bookcase or I will put my finger in your belly button and not remove it”. Loki said as he dauntingly wiggled his finger closer and closer to your belly. Thor shot his head up and glared at Loki. “ You knew this whole time I was innocent! I should tickle you for that!” You nodded in agreement. “ Thor saw this and scribbled his fingers on your upper ribs. The ticklish feelings that coursed through your body were abundant and you started to hiccup and snort.

Thor stopped his attack and kissed your forehead. “ I forgive you dear one, but you better fess up because Loki doesn’t do mercy as I do.” Residual giggles still left your mouth. You took a deep breath. “ I’m sorrahary Loki for messing up your room. It will neveheher happen again I swear!!”

Loki gave you a crooked smile. “ Thank you for the honesty Y/n. But I was only bluffing that I knew it was you. But now I know the truth and you deserve what is coming.”

Your eyes bulged from their sockets. You should have known he was bluffing! “ Loki wait NOOO—“ Loki swirled his finger inside your belly button as Thor dove his head down to blow raspberries on your neck. Your laughter soon went silent and you pounded your fist on the couch, signaling your defeat.

“ Woah guys I think she learned her lesson”. Steve’s voice echoed somewhere behind your head. Loki and Thor hopped off of you and helped you sit up. Once you have calmed down and the last hiccups disappeared you noticed Peter leaning against Bucky, his face just as red as yours and a smile still stuck on his lips.

“ We learned our lesson we promise! No more pranks this summer!” Peter said as he went sat on a nearby chair. You nodded your head vigorously as you agreed.

The other team members just laughed and went to get you and Peter some food and water. Once they were out of sight you looked at Peter.

“You down for round two tomorrow? We still have a few more members to hit!” Peter grinned. “Absolutely! It felt good to laugh today. Those old men can’t stop us. Bring it on!”

You and Peter then conspired with your new game plan. Little did both of you know, Steve, Bucky, Thor, and Loki were listening in the hallway. They knew you wouldn’t stop.

Peter was pacing around the compound looking into every nook and cranny to see if anything sparked an interest. He looked in closets, storage rooms, the basement, and even in the training room. But nothing piqued his interest. Peter was about to give up and accept his failed grade when he walked by an open bedroom. He subconsciously glanced inside while he was walking by and something shiny caught his eye. It was a beautifully crafted golden warrior's helmet with a unique set of horns that popped out of the front. He was standing in front of Loki’s room.

Peter shivered at the thought of Loki finding out Peter messed with his stuff. He knew Loki would probably hurt him, but desperate times called for desperate measures.

Peter quickly checked out his surroundings. Not a soul was in sight. As long as Peter returned his helmet before Loki noticed it missing, how would he know he took it in the first place? He just needed it for the afternoon, and he would return it as soon as school was out. Besides, Loki spent most of his day in the library on the far side of the compound, so he would never even know.

Peter quickly stepped into Loki’s room, grabbed the helmet, and made a mad dash out of there before anyone saw anything.

Unfortunately for Peter, someone was watching his every move. And this certain someone just happened to be the owner of this helmet. Loki was peering around the corner as the high school boy waltzed into his room and took his prized possession. Loki thought about confronting him right then and there but decided it would be a much better idea to wait until he returned it so he could determine what this boy's fate would be.

Now Loki did like the boy. Peter was like a goofy immature little brother to Loki. He didn’t want to harm the boy in any way but knew he needed to be taught a lesson for taking things without asking. If Peter had asked, he would have said yes in a heartbeat. He loved the idea of his stuff being shown off to a group of young midgardians.

Loki then remembered a recent memory of Peter getting in trouble with Tony after he had borrowed his tools and not given them back. Tony ruthlessly tickled the boy until he begged for him to stop. This was the perfect way to punish him! Now he just needed to wait for the boy to return from school.

A few hours later….

Peter’s project was a huge success! His classmates thought the helmet was sooooo cool and couldn’t believe that Peter had met the mysterious God of Mischief! He even was lucky enough to get special attention from MJ. Now all he had to do was sneak back into Loki’s room and put the helmet back without being caught by anyone. He could do it, his spidey senses made him an excellent spy and allowed him to sneak around without making a peep. If anything, this would be good practice for his next mission.

When Peter reached the compound, he decided the best way to sneak in would be to carefully remove one of the second-story window screens and sneak in that way. He had purposely left one unlocked so he could crawl in without risking walking through the common room or kitchen area and running into someone. The lights in the hallway were dimmed, which made it extra easy to creep his way towards Loki’s bedroom.

Little did poor Peter know, Loki was waiting for him in the shadows of the hallway. Loki’s room was on the corner of the hallway that curved into an L shape. At the end of the L was a bathroom, but you couldn’t see it from Loki’s door, so poor Peter would have no clue that’s where he was lurking. Loki listened as he heard his door creak open. He then quietly tiptoed to his bedroom door and waited for the young boy to turn around.

Peter carefully placed the helmet back onto its stand next to Loki’s closet door. Peter was amazed at how clean his room was. He had a nicely organized bookshelf that was packed with books on magic and a nice chair for reading in the corner. After observing the God’s room, Peter carefully made his way towards escape.

Peter slowly pulled the door shut, only a slight creak was made. Peter chuckled a little to himself. He had successfully gone undetected. Peter was about to make his way to the kitchen to get some food when all of a sudden a voice behind his head whispered “ Boo” and instant shivers coursed down Peter’s spine. Peter let out a very unmanly shriek as he turned to be face to face with Loki.

Loki had his arms crossed and was giving Peter a crooked smile, eyes bright with wonder. “ Oh hiya, Mr. Loki. I was uh just admiring your bookshelf err… it’s very nice.” Peter gulped and tried to play it cool. Loki saw right through this. “ You can cut the act kid, I know exactly what you were doing in my room. You might think you are clever, but rather you are very oblivious of your surroundings. Such a shame I must punish you for touching my stuff. I rather like you”. Loki took a step forward and Peter stepped back until his back planted against the door behind him. “ I’m sorry I didn’t ask sir, I just just thought you were gonna say no, so I I just borrowed it ya see?” Peter tried to reason with Loki but Loki’s grin just got bigger. “ Ah yes. It does seem it is returned. But you still took it without asking. There’s only one punishment suited for little robbers.” Peter’s thoughts raced at 100 miles per hour. What was gonna happen? He knew he shouldn’t have messed with a God!! “ What are you gonna do to me? Please don’t turn me into a frog or make me mute for a day! I really am sorry sir!!”

Loki chuckled at Peter’s attempt to escape the situation. “ By the time I’m done with you, you are gonna beg me to turn you into a frog”. And with that, Loki’s door flew open causing a startled Peter to stumble backward as the sudden act caused him to lose his footing. Peter landed on his back as Loki casually walked into the room. Peter rolled onto his stomach and attempted to jump up but Loki merely pushed him back down with his foot. “ Easy boy, you aren’t going anywhere until you’ve learned your lesson”. Loki then quickly rolled Peter back over and straddled him. Peter was in shear panicked mode. Loki was a good friend, but the look he was given made him absolutely terrified of his fate.

“ A couple of days ago I watched as Tony very efficiently made you yield after you borrowed some of his things. Do you remember that occasion?” As Loki spoke he ever so gently placed his hands on Peter’s sides acting very nonchalant. Peter flinched at the touch and his eyes went wide. “ ooh that bad huh? Well next time don’t touch my things without permission”.

Loki started slowly kneading the kid's sides to see what kind of reaction he could get. He wanted to start the kid off slow just so he could get him to drop his guard and then go for the kill. Peter shifted his body side to side as far as he could in his pinned position. He was trying to hold back his giggles as to not show how ticklish he was.

Loki poked his left side which caused a little Eep to escape Spider-Man’s lips, and as he shifted his body to the right to avoid the man's touch, his right side was met with the same poke and Eep. It was a cruel game for Peter and his giggles were soon getting louder.

“ Hey Sir, imaha sorry! I won't do it again! Please let me go, I'm insanely ticklish and I can’t handle it!” Peter was desperate. He hoped that maybe just this one time Loki would have mercy on him. Loki stopped for a moment and looked at the kid with a puzzled look. “ The more ticklish you are, the more fun I get to have. Tough cookies boy. You did this to yourself”. Loki grinned and started his assault again. This time he jammed his fingers under the unsuspecting boy's armpits and wriggled his fingers around as Peter let out a loud shriek and clamped his arms down to his sides. Peter was full-blown laughing now, Loki went from a not too horrible spot to his absolute worst spot in just a matter of seconds. Peter tried to roll away but he was stuck under the God of mischief and ultimately screwed.

Loki removed one hand from his armpits and used it to tease his rib cage a little. Peter was bursting with laughter now and with the new feeling in his ribs too, he was caught between loud shrieking and high-pitched giggles. How adorable. After a few minutes of this, Peter was weakened and stopped trying to fight back. Loki slowed his pace to allow the kid to breathe but didn’t stop altogether. He enjoyed the cute giggles Peter spit out when Loki just casually ran his fingers all over the boy's torso with an extremely light touch.

Peter in a happy tone said, “ I’m sorahahy Sir. I have learned my lesson *Hiccup* I promise it will never happen again! * Hiccup*”. Loki smiled at the teenager laying under him. His face was red and his hair was damp from all the sweat. But the smile plastered on his face was so big it caused his eyes to squint ever so slightly. Loki knew the poor kid was forgiven, but he still had one final thing he needed to do.

“ Ah yes, I think your lesson is almost completed. There is just one more thing I must do to ensure your loyalty and honestly in the future.” Loki winked at Peter and started to carefully roll up his T-Shirt.

Peter’s insides erupted with butterflies. He was doomed, but he was too tired to fight back. Peter tried to cover his belly with his hands but Loki just rolled his eyes and pinned his hands under his knees.

“ No no no no Please!! Anything but that please!!” Peter gave Loki his best puppy eye look hoping this would cause his freedom. Loki booped Peter on the nose. “ How can I not give you raspberries now when you look so pitiful and defeated. You need to lighten up a little!”

Loki then placed his lips on the poor kid's belly and blew. Peter exploded instantly. He thought his armpits were his worst spot, but now he knew that this was actually worse. “ NOHAHAH LOKI NOHAHA PLEHEHAHHHH” Peter couldn’t even form words properly as Loki planted more vibrating raspberries all over his torso. Loki blew one on his ribs, neck, belly, and even hip bones. Peter was thrashing around crazily trying to escape the torture, but Loki held firm and was relentless.

After about 15 raspberries were blown on the kid's skin, Loki stopped for good. Peter was now coughing and his laughter was hoarse. Loki wanted to punish the kid, not kill him.

“ Listen here boy, next time you touch my things without asking, I will not be as kind to you. I might even move to see how sensitive your feet are.” Peter shook his head rapidly. His feet were bad too. “ I swear it won’t happen again!” Loki offered Peter his hand and helped him stand up. “ Next time, just ask. I love it when Midgardians admire my things. You are like my little brother, I trust you.” Loki patted Peter’s back as Peter beamed up at Loki. No one had said that to Peter before. “ Well if I’m your little brother then that means it’s only fair if I try and get revenge huh?” Peter then poked Loki in the side to prove his point. Loki snatched Peter’s hand and tossed him onto the bed. “ You even think about revenge and you will regret it,” Loki smirked at Peter and tried to remove one of his shoes. “ NO NO I'M SORRY! I was just messing with you!” Peter could not handle any more tickles for today or he would most definitely go crazy.

Loki dropped his foot. “ I would be wise of your words, I don’t like being challenged. Now you have 3 seconds to exit my room or else”. And with those words, Peter bolted from the Gods room and disappeared down the hallway.

About an hour later, Peter’s obstacle course was set up and ready to go. He had moved couches into random spots throughout the compound. He grabbed his freshly made web-shooters, strapped them into his wrist, and filled it to the brim with his new fluid. He was planning on testing his new invention for the remainder of the day.

Unbeknownst to Peter, he was not alone on this side of the compound. Loki opted out of the most recent mission as he needed a little bit of a mental health day. He was relaxing, reading his favorite novel, and sipping in some chamomile tea. Loki enjoyed having the compound almost to himself. It gave him time to reflect on his new life and enjoy himself without distractions.

Loki was peacefully reading his book when all of a sudden there was a loud bang-out in the hallway. It was so abrupt that it caused Loki to spit out his tea which ended up landing on his book. Loki was furious, to say the least. Who on earth was making such a ruckus and being so careless!? Loki stormed out of his room and went on a hunt for whatever dull creature had disturbed him.

Meanwhile, Peter was having the time of his life. He was swinging off of the overhead balconies, soaring through the air shooting his life size replicas of bad guys. He was correct, this was by far the best web fluid he had ever made. It was slick and smooth and shot out faster than lightning, but durable enough to allow him to gracefully swing side to side. He was in a euphoric state. Mr. Stark would be so proud of his most recent accomplishment. Maybe he could even use his new web-shooters on the next mission! Peter was lost in thought, not really paying attention to his targets anymore. As he rounded a corner he saw a figure out of the corner of his eye. Without thinking, Peter did a flip in the air and shot the figure as he fell onto the ground and landed in his signature stance. He had the biggest smile on his face and felt like he was on top of the world.

That was until he froze and realized the figure he shot was moving. Peter ran over to the figure but once he saw who it was, shivers went down his spine. He had shot Loki, a literal God, smack dab in the face.

Now Peter was extremely intimidated by Loki. He had an aura about him that Peter wasn’t so sure if. He knew Loki was a great guy and all, but he still was scared of him. He always tried to tread lightly around him as to not set him off. Loki was a ruthless prankster, and Peter did not want to be caught in the middle of some of the pranks he pulled. When Loki was feeling playful, he was the light of any party.

But one look at his face and Peter knew he was in big trouble. Web fluid was stuck in Loki’s hair and although almost everything had been removed from his face, there were a few patches still hanging on. Peter gulped. “ Oh uhh hi Mr. Loki. I I I am so so so sorry. I didn’t see you there honest! “ Peter stammered out the best apology he could given his circumstance. He ultimately was trying not to shit his pants because the look Loki gave him was horrifying. Loki was seething. He wanted to rip Peter’s arms off or slap him silly for being so careless.

“ What the Hell are you doing you disgraceful insect! Some people are trying to relax and you are running around like a bull in a China shop! You are acting like a pathetic little child because you are one!!” Loki took a deep breath and pondered his next words. Peter looked like a lost puppy, and it almost made Loki feel bad. Almost. That’s when a lightbulb went off above Loki’s head. Peter was acting like a careless child so he deserved to be punished like one.

Peter saw Loki’s face soften lightly, only for it to change to pure evil and playfulness. “ You know Peter, I apologize for speaking to you like that. You are only a mere child and children need to be punished in their peculiar ways.” Peter’s furrowed his brows. What the hell was this guy talking about? He shouldn’t need to be punished, it was only an accident. “ Mr. Loki sir, it was an accident! I promise I will be extra careful next time!! Loki smirked. “ I’m sure you will be after I’m done with you, Peter Parker”. And with that, Peter was forcefully thrown back onto a nearby couch by a green mist. Before he could process the whole situation, Loki pounced on him, and easily ripped his new web shooter off his wrist. Loki then proceeded to shoot Peter’s hands, causing them to stick to the couch. Now, Peter was very strong, but unfortunately for him, he had made the fluid even stronger.

He was now pinned to the couch with an angry God sitting on his waist. “ Pleeease don’t hurt me, sir, I promise to never bother you again!” Peter was terrified, he had no idea what to expect at this point. Loki chuckled deeply and slowly placed his hands on the boys' sides. Peter flinched at the light touch. “ I would never hurt a child Peter. Besides, it’s much for fun to tickle one to death”. Peter’s eyes bulged from his head. Ever since he got bit by a spider, his nervous system was much more sensitive.

“ No no NO please Mr. Loki!! I swear I won’t bother you ever again. Don’t do this!! “ Peter begged as his life depended on it. Loki took this as his opportunity to test the waters. He gently tased Peter’s sides and the reaction he got was priceless. One little poke and this boy was giggling like a mad man. Oh, this was going to be fun.

Loki poked and prodded the poor boy's sensitive stomach looking for weak spots. Fortunately, every spot seemed to be pretty bad. Peter was a mess. His hair was a mess and he was giggling uncontrollably. “ Please Loki sir, I cananant take it ahaha! I’m really SORAHAHRYY! NO PLEAHEHES NOT THERE!!” Bingo. Loki’s eyes lit up when he saw where his fingers had randomly landed. They were under the kids' armpits. He was so in for it now. “ This will teach ya to never bother me again boy! You made me spill my favorite tea on my favorite book! You must pay!” Loki winked at Peter before he dove in with all ten fingers wiggling and poking and prodding Peter’s armpit. Peter’s laughter went up 3 octaves within milliseconds. “ LOKI NOHAHA PLEAHAHESE NOHAHT THERE! I AHHHHH!!” Peter was shaking his head back and forth, pulling with all his might to break loose the bonds. Loki was relentless. He gave Peter “ mercy” and removed one hand from his armpit so he could swirl it around the boy's belly button.

This combination was incredibly ticklish for Peter and there was nothing he could do to stop it. All he could do was lay there and scream his little heart out. Loki was enjoying it so much. This would teach him for ruining his day. Loki then switched his technique and started to massage Peter’s ribs. This kept the boy bubbling with cute little giggles, but then he would race his fingers back to his armpits just so he could hear him scream again. Anyone could become drunk on Peter’s laughter. It could boost anyone’s serotonin easily. Loki was having so much fun teasing the poor boy, he didn’t notice when Peter finally broke one hand free from his web. Peter grabbed Loki’s wrist and pleaded with a hoarse voice. “ Mercy mercy plehehease. I’m gonnahaha die.”

When Loki heard him he stopped. Peter sucked in as much air as his lungs would allow. His face was neon red like a tomato and he was dripping with sweat. His face was plastered with the biggest smile Loki had ever seen. He was a good kid, and maybe Loki shouldn’t have been so hard on him. But, he did ruin his book.

“ Next time, be mindful of who you disturb”. Peter nodded his head multiple times. “ Yes sir! I will never bother you again!!” Loki playfully hit Peter on the shoulder. “ But I gotta say, great work on that web material. It will be a great asset for our team.”

Peter’s eyes went wide. He had just been complimented, by a God!! Well and also tickled nearly to death, but that was less important. Peter decided that from this happy giggly incident, Loki wasn’t nearly as scary as he seemed.
