Oh it is, it is better than admitting I am often late as I do not want to go half the time. [ He teased lightly, as the Uber was hurrying them to the station. Once Don had the tickets in his pockets, and they had stepped out Loki lead the way down into the train station.

Helping to corral the boys onto the train. The train was busy of course, so he expected the boys to take the remaining seats and maybe even Don, but Loki stood, he was used to it. Casual conversion as they rode their way down town, with a possible transfer.

Loki's timeline proved accurate as they arrived at the final stop, and he led them into the party quickly after. His coat and theirs hands over. A few introductions made, no one here worked with Loki. Hell the host only knew him from college, it's clearly he was invited because of his money, which was half the reason he brought them.

Of course, he had beeen correct that once the liquor started to flow that a few older women were zeroing in on Don. Loki had been true to his work and was sober tonight. Now and then looking to Don, or hanging near the windows watching the fireworks with the boys. ]

[ Loki makes it a point not to laugh when Don finally sits. A smile offered down at him as the train moves. Standing holding the rail above him in that fine suit. He was happy like this, around Don and his boys. He always felt content around them, which was probably dangerous when he's nearly certain Don is completely straight. It's fine, he's happy being the man's best friend.

The rules the boys were given were simple, and Loki made sure to add, as he would at all functions, he would invite them too. If anyone gives them trouble, point them his way, or come get him.

Loki was leaning against the frame of one of the windows as the countdown was starting. Women were flirting hard with Don, a single dad, and looking as he did. Loki was a little jealous but hid it well. Chanting with the boys as they watched fireworks and the ball getting ready to drop. One of the ladies, an older woman, a brunette with white streaks of age in her hair, whispering to Don that she would love to be his midnight kiss. While another called out it was time, people coming towards the window as counting started, Loki shifted to stand behind the boys so no one would push them from the spot they had claimed for a while.]


Be sure to make a wish, both of you. Don't waste your new year's magic. [ A playful comment, but something Frigga used to say to him and Thor often on New Year's Eve. ]

[ It was a strange change of pace, but one that Loki didnt mind in the least. Spending time with the boys had become a fun part of his time around Rosie's family.

The part he didn't like and didn't expect was the jealousy he felt flair up when he saw the woman kiss Don. Oh hell no. More so when Don looked at least a little uncomfortable.

Still he kept it to himself, and as the party died down he saw the woman trying to convince Don to come with her. He had stolen Don away at least once but this time he asked the boys to go collect their coats from the hostess. As he walked over, tapping Don's shoulder. ]


Don, we have to head out now. Time to get the boys to bed.

[ The boys were off getting their coats, and out of sight as Loki offered Don an awkward smile before it turned icy towards Carla. Ignoring the first question for now, just from his mood. ] Oh, no I haven't, not in years. Isn't that right, Carla?

[ The ice queen slipping through before he looked back to Don, the mask slipping for the man again. ]

The boys and I are heading out, if you want to stay, I insist you call me, so I can send a car for you when you are ready. [ He spoke it lower to Don, as much as it hurt he had a feeling Don might want to spend more time with Carla. Though part of him worried about leaving him here.]

Don, it's nearly one thirty. And Kevin has been showing signs of trouble due to being tired. So, I am going to take them home. Please decide if you would like to stay or come with us.

[ His tone gentle, a strange look crossing Carla's face, she's known the ice queen for years. Though, she tightens her hold on Don. As if a silent challenge. One Loki is fine rising too if Don gives the word. Loki was the last person to judge a drunken hookup, but he wanted better for Don. ]

[ Loki's glare stayed on Carla, as he wanted to scream on the inside. ]

Sugar crash, I offered to carry him down to the train station to spare him the walk if he got my coat. Sean is with him.

[ Loki didn't read lips but something about that rubbed him wrong. ]

Hey, Carla, was it? [ That was on purpose. ] His kid's feeling sick, let the man decide for himself. You do not want to make me your enemy tonight. [ Looking back to Don.]

Last chance, Don. I wont hold it against you either way, the boys will be safe with me.

[ When Don looks past Loki, Kevin does look a little cranky, he has Loki's long coat over his arms, as Sean walks with him towards the adults. Loki was still glaring at Carla until the boys come into view, turning to take his coat as Kevin offered it up. Loki slipped it on, before holding his arms down to the boy.

Sean asking his dad if hes okay, having not seen him this deep in awhile. Probably since their mom died.

Loki lifted Kevin up into his arms and lets the boy snuggle against his shoulder, offering the other arm Don's way. ]


Come on, let's get home.

[ Some of Loki's rich acquaintances watching him and the family. Give how often Loki leaves with people drunk and clingy, it was a shock to see the Odinson sober leading a man and children out of the party to the cold outside for the train station, he took Don's arm either way to make sure he was stable. Looking to Sean now and then to make sure hes okay too. His mood clearly better, while Kevin knocked out hard against Loki's shoulder.]

[ Sean leaned on Don, just in case as they moved like a family down to the cold of the train station. Loki's coat shifted to help cover Kevin more. Once they were off the street and down on the train rushing back towards Bed–Stuy.

Loki finally looked down to Don. Offering a sad smile. ]


Sorry about that, Don. I just know what she's like. I didn't want to take the boys home without you. I hope you are not upset.

[ All that attitude gone, still holding Kevin in one arm like he weighs nothing. The other hand holding the rail above his head.]

[ Loki can't help but smile down at Don. He's adorable like this, even if he knows the man feels bad. ]

Don, your human. No one could blame you. Besides, you trust me, right? I would have taken care of the boys either way. I am just glad you are here. I know what Carla is like.

[ Nodding to Sean, knowing he has to be tired too.] I will have a car waiting as soon as we get off the train to get us home.

[ Sure. Loki was a catty bitch at times, but he didn't trust his innocent friend with someone like Carla. That is how one wakes up with a cattail butt plug without having consented to it yet.

Loki is fine with it, but he has a feeling Don might have panicked if he woke like that without his boys. ]


You'd do as you always do, but with less fun. [ Flashing a grin as he shifted Kevin when the boy wigged. A natural despite not wanting children.] Come on, this is our stop, follow me.

[ It didn't take long for the car to drop them at the house. Loki leading them in through the bottom door under the stoop, moving to lay Kevin down on whatever bed that Sean didn't take. Walking out to see how Don was doing as he let Fenrir out once last time in the backyard. Hella late, but Fenrir was cuddling with Don tonight, not Lokes.]

Just a moment. [ He called back, but not too loudly as to not bother the boys. Once Fenrir was back inside, he walked over to the cabinet to pull down some aspirin.

Holding it to Don after loosening the cap for him, he moved then to the fridge and pulled out a container of water and a cup, some ice added before it was placed before Don.

Leaving against the counter, he offered a playful smile. ]
No, you'll sleep to tomorrow afternoon, then you'll wake up with a hangover and from there, I will take care of you for once.

[ Loki can't help but smile a little, watching Don with the pills. ]

It is a promise, Don. Come on, lets get you to bed.
