Loki’s Cat - Loki x reader
Warnings: Me trying to be funny when I’m obviously not, and some swearing if those count
Summary: You and Loki decide to get a kitten. A few days later Loki brings a “cat” to the tower.
A/N: So this is my first time writing a one-shot, rather than doing ships and incorrect quotes I guess… It’s been like a week since I started this blog and I’ve already gotten an astounding amount of attention already which I am really grateful about. I have actually gotten some requests but I’m planning on doing them starting from July, and I’m very sorry for the huge delay. But for now this is something that I’ve compulsively written in the library on a scrap of paper so enjoy 🌿
It was a typical Sunday afternoon. You didn’t do much anything for the day, other than cleaning up after Thor (especially in the kitchen where he miserably failed an attempt to make who knows what). With your back aching, you retreated to the room you and Loki shared to find Loki standing in the middle of the room, arms holding something squirming.
“Is that a cat?” You asked, getting excited.
A few days prior, you and Loki decided to get a pet. Both of you agreed the Tower was much too boring to live, especially with Loki always cooped up in a corner reading something. After going through a list of animals (that were available and cohabitable on Earth), you and Loki settled on a cat. Cute and fluffy enough, and not bouncy enough for Loki to get irritated.
To tell the truth, it wasn’t a good idea not to tell Tony about it earlier, but you guys never decided when and where to get the cat. So technically nothing was really official. Plus, you doubted Tony would throw a fit over a small animal. But the closer you got to Loki, the more you started to get worried about that fit Tony is getting more likely to throw.
“…But that’s way too big to be a cat.”
“Seems like a cat to me.”
You were dumbfounded at his answer. Did he not know what a cat was? The creature that he was holding dear to his arms clearly looked like a baby, but the size of it could be of a full-grown cat. The markings on the feline didn’t seem domestic either- the wild prints rippled as the creature twisted in discomfort. After guessing to yourself possible feline species it could be, you realized what it was.
“What the fuck Loki THAT’S A LEOPARD” You yelled.
“Nevertheless, I find it adorable.”
“Life’s more fun that way.”
Loki rocked his arms, swaying the feline baby.
“Isn’t he so tiny? Look at his eyes, Y/n, he’s so disgustingly cute.”
You were about to say something back when Tony walked into your room.
“Hey Y/n, I think you missed a spot of Thor’s- What the hell is that?”
“And who allowed him?!” Tony shrieked.
“Well… we kind of settled on getting a cat but as you can see he got too excited.” You replied sheepishly.
“And who allowed you to make decisions, with him?!”
“…Well I thought you wouldn’t mind a kitten.”
“Well, that’s one hell of a kitten.”
“It’s a leopard-“ Loki started.
“Return it back to wherever you picked it up Reindeer Ga-, where did you even find a leopard?”
“Get it back to where it came from.”
“Now.” Said Tony sternly.
“It’s my pet,” Loki stated.
The two of them were fighting like children on a playground. Or rather, a child being scolded by their mother. The leopard in between the two men squirmed even more, probably annoyed by the row going above it. This is going nowhere, you thought.
“You know… Líttfold is starting to grow on me.” You said, trying to ease the tension between them.
“No. I’m pretty sure he’s just growing. Look at the size of its paws! It’s grown an inch bigger since I came into this room.”
“Stop overreacting Tony, I’m sure you’re gonna like it soon enough.”
“I’m not allowing him to stay in this tower. That thing’s gonna kill off everyone in the whole goddamn building if you give him more than a week.” Tony declared.
“Should I remind you that everyone living in this building is very much capable of killing off everyone in the tower?” Loki replied, “If you’re talking about dangerous, Stark, then you might as well just kick every avenger out of this building, including yourself.”
Tony let out a loud sigh.
“All right, fine, just don’t train him to bite any avenger ass off.”
That night with Líttfold sleeping on your lap with Loki stroking its back, you asked, “So where did you get him?”
“Stop fucking around when you obviously have never been to a pet store.”
“Okay fine, I found him in the jungle.” He sighed.
“I warned you, you little shit…” You said as you got ready to lunge.
“I’m telling the truth!” Said Loki, wide-eyed.
“There is no jungle anywhere near here!”
“I didn’t say I found it in New York…”
“But you can’t teleport that far-“
“Well, he came over today, and over our conversation, I asked him where I could get a cat.”
“He made a portal leading to a jungle, and we found three cats without their mother.”
Unlike any other normal person he decided that it would be a good idea to prank your boyfriend into making him believe that you were supposed to get a cat in the middle of a jungle.
“For the last time, Loki, those were not cats.”
“Well, we are keeping him, aren’t we?”
“Loki, I don’t think that’s how this works…”
