Birthdays Come But Once A Year [RP]
Who: Mikel Fury, Loki Laufeyson, Carlos Ayala (Marvel NPC)
When: Between Event Horizon and Hellfire
Where: Mikel's house
Rating: PG-13 (language, general adult themes mentioned)
Thread is Closed.
There were many different things one could wake up to on their birthday—some pleasant, some not so pleasant. This was quickly falling into the not so pleasant category. Startled awake by a sound that did not belong in his bedroom, Mikel Fury realized three things in quick succession; first, that he had one serious hangover in progress; second, that he was not alone in his bed; and third, that the noise he was hearing was someone singing. By the time he figured out who was doing the singing and who was in the bed with him, it was too late to stop things and Mikel’s first coherent thought of the day was, ‘This will not end well.’
Carlos Ayala’s first though wasn’t quite as coherent as Mikel’s. Actually, he wasn’t thinking at all when Mikel’s sudden movement snapped him into consciousness. Mentally grabbing the first thing in his line of sight, Carlos waved his arm and telekinetically chucked whatever it was at the noisy intruder standing at the end of the bed before rolling over to see what was going on.
Knowing what he did of Mikel’s background, Carlos was prepared to see just about anything standing there armed to the teeth—but a tall long haired guy dressed in a little polka-dot dress with a party hat on his head with a dog dressed in a similar fashion completely shut Carlos’s brain down for a second. The fact he had tossed a dog toy at the guy’s head and said toy was now floating in place without any help from him took a few seconds longer to register.
“What the hell were we drinking last night?” he asked Mikel as he stared at the guy.
Mikel had dropped back onto the bed once he’d confirmed that it was Loki and Tinkerbell down there and not some alcohol induced hallucination. Well, he thought, at least Carlos and I are still dressed though I'm sure that won't stop Loki from jumping to conclusions here.
“You picked the bar,” Mikel muttered as he rubbed the heels of his hands against his eyes, “you tell me.”

"I brought one of those giant cookie cakes so you can have birthday-breakfast, Mikel," he sang, grinning knowingly at Carlos for a moment before turning his gaze to the man he thought of as his Spy-Son. "I actually- ah- actually made one, but it was rubbish, I couldn't figure out how to make it thick enough that it wouldn't burn. I'm sorry," he added sheepishly, before pulling out a brightly-colored noise-maker and blowing. The paper unfurled with a loud trumpeting sound, and Loki grinned around the mouthpiece, looking- for a moment, and almost certainly without realizing it- a bit like Nick with a cigar champed between his teeth.
"Soooo.... SO. Mikel-miluv. Is it... serious? It is, isn't it? Oh, you precious boy, you!" Loki positively beamed, clasping his hands together in front of his brightly-colored print dress. "When are you gonna introduce your boyfriend to the rest of us officially, honey? Tonight? Can it be tonight? Can- birthday dinner, I've got BIRTHDAY DINNER for you tonight, you must come and then show us your boyfriend during the eating of this dinner, he is a very handsome man and apparently very talented!" Loki popped a cheesy eighties-movie thumb's up at them.
"This is gonna be so awesome! I've never had a chance to meet one of my kids's significant others before! Oh my gosh, should I call Mike and Bruce and have them come over for it, too? It was just gonna be a small Furious Family gathering but this is too exciting for me to contain myself!" Loki sparkled- literally. Green and gold sparkles were glimmering around him, happy magic overflowing from the pale vessel of his mostly-mortal body.
He stopped bouncing long enough to tilt his head at the two, as if finally taking a good look at them. "You got a headache, pumpkin-pie?"

Mikel, who was now sitting up and holding his aching head, answered, “He’s having sex with my dad; what do you think?” He waved a hand towards the god. “Carlos, meet my soon to be stepmom, Loki. Loki, this is my friend, Carlos Ayala.”
Carlos was a little better off than Mikel hangover-wise but it still took a few seconds for that name to make an impact. “Uh, Loki as in the god of chaos?”
“Yep.”
“I chucked a dog toy at a god of chaos and that god’s going to be marrying your dad?”
“Yep.”
Carlos was silent for a moment then it was his turn to be the one holding his head. “Your dad’s gonna kill me when he hears about this, isn’t he?”
“Probably.”
“Okay, the next time I tell you your life doesn’t suck that much, remind me of this.”
“I’ll be sure to do that.”
Before Mikel could get off the bed, Carlos lifted his head and said, "Wait. You said stepmom.”
“Right, I haven’t had a chance to tell you about Jake yet have I? Got a little brother now. He was born last year; he’s about two going on three years old now. Loki is Jake’s mom.”
Carlos carefully shook his head. “I’ll just take your word on that.” He jerked upright when Tinkerbell jumped onto the bed and dropped the toy on Carlos's leg then huffed a burst of snow at him when she sat down and waited for Carlos to throw the toy again.
Mikel chuckled, even though that hurt his head, as he slowly rolled to his feet and walked, well more like staggered, over to where Loki was standing. After giving the god a hug, he squinted at Loki-- the green and gold sparkles doing bad things to his head-- as he answered, "Yeah, bit of a headache." He gave Carlos a mock glare. "Carlos decided I needed to loosen up a bit."

Loki hugged Mikel tightly, smooching him firmly on the cheek. Tinkerbell, meanwhile, wagged her tail furiously. WELL, okay, no. What Tink wagged was the back half of her body, before giving messy, slightly smelly puppykisses all over Carlos and then woofing some frosty air into his face.
"You shouldn't drink to excess, love," Loki said indulgently, wagging a finger. "I've never done it but I've seen it happen to other people and it looks dreadful. Here, let me get rid of those headaches." He snapped his fingers, doing... SOMEthing with his magic that makes the headaches slowly ease away. Loki Laufeyson, Chaos Doctor of Homeopathic Magic.
"It's really wonderful to meet you, Carlos," Loki trilled, tossing his hair a little and peering over at the man. "Tinkerbell seems to like you and she's an excellent judge of character. And you have a delightfully dishonest face. I think we're going to get along swimmingly." Loki held up the cookie cake, grinning excitedly at Mikel.
"Sooooo- SO, would you and your boyfriend like me to serve up some of this giant cookie for breakfast? I can make some coffee or tea if you'd like!"
no subject
When Loki waved his hand and the pain eased away, Mikel found it easier to smile at the god. Surprise crossed over Carlos's face and he focused on Loki. Grinning, he said, "You are now my best friend for life, sir." Looking down, Carlos picked up the toy and tossed it. "Go get it, girl!"
Instead of going after it, Tinkerbell sat down and gave Carlos a look. Mikel shook his head-- easier to do now that it didn't feel like his brain was going to fall out-- when Carlos gave him a questioning look. "You didn't throw it the same way as before." Carlos thought about that a second, then held out his hand and sent the toy flying to another spot in the room. That got Tinkerbell barking in delight and she jumped off the bed and chased after the toy.
When Loki asked if they were up for some cookie cake for breakfast, Mikel's stomach answered for him. "That does sound good right now. Tea as well." Taking the cookie from Loki and leading the way to the kitchen, Mikel said, "And I think I'd prefer dinner with just the family tonight if that's all right." Actually he didn't mind Bruce being there, it was thought of Mike being there and having Carlos introduced as his significant other that filled him with a sense of horror. When he saw the glittering halo around Loki start to dim Mikel sighed mentally and added, "Though I suppose it would be nice to see everyone now that things have settled down for a bit."
As he went to set the cookie cake on the table in the breakfast nook, he had to pause and then lift it out of the way as a doggy toy shot by, followed by a fuzzy blur that sailed up and over the table. There was a thunk then a surprised woof as Mikel set the cake down. Carlos looked a touch embarrassed as he walked past and picked a slightly stunned Tinkerbell off the floor. "Sorry about that," he said as he walked over to the table and dropped into a chair. "Didn't realized there was a wall there." After letting Tinkerbell get settled, Carlos asked, "Who's Bruce and Mike?"
"Bruce Banner and Michael Jon Carter."
It took Carlos a few seconds to place Mike's name. "As in Booster Gold?" He grinned knowingly at Mikel when Mikel made a face and nodded in agreement. "Oh, I bet you two get along like oil on water, huh?"
no subject
"Not oil and water, Carlos- more like oil and vinegar. As in, DELICIOUSLY. Mikel and Mike are special awesome guys and I love them both lots and they taste good on salads and on sandwiches....?" Loki paused, his metaphor running away from him, then shrugged. He fussed over Mikel and Carlos, preparing their tea with extra cream and extra sugar and honey and cinnamon sprinkled over it because that's how he likes his tea and he can't imagine someone not wanting to die of diabetic shock this early in the morning.
He prepared a little dish of cream for Tinkerbell and let her curl up in his lap after she drank it, snuggling against his midsection.
"So, Carlos, what do you do for a living? Oh, is it okay that I asked? I'm just curious about what you like to do with your time," he added anxiously, looking suddenly worried. "You're not a spy, are you? I mean the kind of spy who is in a different spy organization than Mikel. Oh gosh, you're not, are you? How tragic! Love across a battlefield, set upon by both sides, cruel fate trapping you on either side of a political firing line!"
Loki actually started crying into Tinkerbell's fur at that, the confused pooch giving Mikel and Carlos a somewhat reproachful look for causing this outrage.

After taking a cautious sip-- goodbye hangover, hello sugar buzz-- Mikel got up and pulled out a knife to cut the cake with as Loki sat down to talk to Carlos. He bit back a smile at the guesses Loki was making and the look of complete confusion on Carlos's face. Loki did take a bit of getting used to.
Cutting the cake and setting a piece in front of Loki, hoping that might distract him a bit, Mikel decided to get back at Carlos for the hangover and said, "No, he's not a spy though you could kind say he is from the other side of the battlefield."

"Trust me, Carlos, Mikel's dad is going to be like a scarier, smarter, devious-er version of Robert DeNiro from Meet the Parents- my best advice to you, right now, would be to quickly get over onto the side of law and order so that Nick doesn't tie you up in our basement and interrogate you for days about your intentions towards his son." Loki smooched the top of Carlos's head, smoothing his hair back before sitting back down to dig into his cookie cake and tea. Tinkerbell gave Carlos the most serious, mournful expression she could muster.
"So, my sweet. How's work going? Because if they're not giving you enough time off I will have a word with your boss," Loki added primly.
no subject
"You're not drunk and yes that really just happened."
"Ah." He gave the cake a look. "It's going to be like that at dinner too, isn't it?"
"Oh, I expect so," Mikel answered as he held out a fork for Carlos to take. Once Carlos started moving again, Mikel sat down and started on his own piece. Because it was there, he decided to dip a chunk of cake into the tea. Wasn't too bad. Looking up when Loki asked about work, Mikel shook his head.
"Actually he's given me a little too much time off since that whole mess in the Middle East." He rolled his eyes in exasperation. "I'd say dad's being a little overprotective at the moment."
"Yeah, well can you blame him? You did end up in the hospital again," Carlos pointed out. "Was beginning to think we'd have to postpone the traditional birthday bar hop again this year." He looked down and stabbed a piece of cake. "It's no fun doing that by myself."
Mikel nudged him with his elbow. "I was just in for observation. I've had worse than that over the years. Hell, you've done worse to me than that."
Carlos laughed and gave him a sideways look. "This is true," he said with a smile. Mikel snorted in amusement and grinned back.
no subject
"No such thing as overprotective when it comes to your children, lovey," he told Mikel, still grinning. "You can be underprotective or just protective enough." Standing, Loki put his plate and cup in Mikel's sink, before bending down to scoop Tinkerbell into his arms.
"Can't stay any longer, sweetiepie, I have to get going on dinner. Oh, and Jake made you a present, but I've been sworn to secrecy not to tell you what it is," Loki added, smooching Mikel and Carlos on both cheeks, because he saw someone do that in a movie and has decided to adopt it as a charming new custom. "Love you, see you tonight, kay?"
At this point, Loki left the way he came- in a sparkle of light and sound.
