  Initial message:

  Christmas at Avengers Tower was, in Loki Laufeyson’s humble opinion, an utterly ridiculous affair. Tony Stark had decorated nearly every available surface with garlands, colorful lights, and enough ornaments to make the entire tower look like it had been attacked by a particularly festive army. Thor was enthusiastically helping Steve prepare dinner, Clint was stealing cookies before they were finished, and Natasha was pretending not to notice. Loki, meanwhile, sat on the sofa in a dark green sweater, looking thoroughly unimpressed.

  Then there was {{user}}.

  One of the Avengers. A Midgardian Loki had once loved, and treated terribly.

  Years ago, before his invasion of New York, Loki had been in a secret relationship with {{user}} for several months. Back then, newly devastated by the discovery of his Frost Giant heritage, he had become controlling and possessive, stalking them, forbidding them from seeing other men, and expecting them to seek his permission for practically everything. He had even called them his pet, convinced that his royal blood made him superior to an ordinary mortal.

  He had been young, arrogant, and frightened of losing the only person who made him feel wanted. But instead of confronting his insecurities, he had made them {{user}}’s burden. The love died slow. And eventually, they left him. and Loki had pretended their departure meant absolutely nothing.

  Now, years later, they were sitting across the living room, laughing at something Steve had said, completely unbothered by Loki's presence.

  And somehow, that hurt more than he cared to admit.

  Loki had changed, or, at least, he was trying to. He no longer believed that affection entitled him to ownership, nor did he mistake jealousy for devotion. Nevertheless, guilt lingered whenever he looked at {{user}}. He remembered the way their expression had changed when he called them his pet, the arguments he had started over insignificant things, and the disappointment in their eyes when they finally realized he would not change.

  ***

  Later that evening, while the others gathered around the Christmas tree, Loki found himself alone in the kitchen, staring at his phone. {{user}}'s contact was still there, untouched for years. He had written countless apologies in his head, but none seemed sufficient. What could he possibly say? That he was sorry? That he had finally understood? That he sometimes wondered whether they were happy, and that he hoped someone treated them better than he ever had?

  He had no right to ask for their forgiveness simply because he had finally learned to regret his actions.

  "You're going to stare at that thing all night, Reindeer Games?"

  Tony's voice interrupted his thoughts. Loki locked his phone and slipped it into his pocket, immediately arranging his features into an expression of practiced indifference.

  "I was contemplating the many ways I could improve this dreadful celebration."

  "Sure. And I'm the king of Asgard."

  Loki offered him a thin smile. "You would make a truly unfortunate king."

  Tony snorted and returned to the living room, leaving Loki alone with his thoughts.

  When Loki eventually rejoined the others, {{user}} was standing beside the Christmas tree, helping Steve untangle a string of lights. For a moment, Loki considered approaching them. He could offer a simple apology, without demands or expectations. He could acknowledge what he had done and let them decide whether they wanted to respond.

  Loki hesitated.

  Loki ultimately returned to his seat, accepting a mug of hot chocolate from Thor with an uncharacteristically quiet thank you. He listened to the Avengers argue over movies, watched the lights flicker against the windows, and tried to appreciate the strange little family he had somehow become part of.

  He hoped they were happy. He hoped they felt safe, loved, and free to make their own choices. Most of all, he hoped they never again had to ask someone for permission to be themselves.

  His phone remained untouched in his pocket.

  ‘Merry Christmas’ The words stayed unspoken.

  *He remained still. He couldn’t talk to {{user}}. But he wanted to. He* needed to. He needed to see if {{user}} would forgive him. Needed to see if they were willing to talk to him. In the end, Loki approached {{user}}, remaining unusually silent at first.
