[for [livejournal.com profile] kingofarchers and <user site="livejournal.c

Loki didn't leave the apartment all day in part fear that Barton would attempt to escape somehow. He already knew he was going to get into trouble for what he'd done, he certainly didn't need to loose the archer on top of the impromptu transformation spell he'd cast to turn the agent into a white tiger cub. He didn't mind being stuck inside all day on this particular eve though as the entertainment value provided by Barton's defiant attitude and Raun's eager attempts to get the cub to play with him were priceless.

By the end of the day Raun had begun to settle down and when Loki took a relaxed seat on the couch the kitten was almost instantly there to lie down in his lap. The Trickster god petted idly at the kitten's soft fur as he kept a deceptively lidded eye on the tiger cub.

Coulson would be home soon. Loki couldn't be more overjoyed by the prospect.

"Not on my watch. Ever." Coulson's voice was matter-of-fact. "As much as I hate to disappoint. You're not becoming black market taxidermy if I have anything to say about it."

"You'd have to grow a little more to be worth anything, Barton. And it's quite clear that Coulson won't let me keep you that long unfortunately."

There was a brief pause and, looking away, Loki spoke directly to Clint again where Coulson couldn't hear. :I suggest you leave out certain...details about our encounter. Agreed?:

:Damn, I was really looking forward to being contraband.: He cocked his head to the side, giving a shallow nod. There would be no report on any of this. Coulson could hound him all he wanted but Clint had no intention of writing anything down.
sonofcoul: (I can be quite pleasant.)

"I'm sure it was on your bucket list," he replied dryly. Then he glanced down, as Raun had left the kitchen and was now nosing at his ankles. He picked the kitten up and settled him into his lap, petting him absently. "Thanks for putting up with the cat, by the way. Can't have been a walk in the park."

He saw the response out of the corner of his eye and instantly relaxed just a noticeable fraction. It wasn't really a big deal or anything, but there was something that he would have rather didn't affect a certain decision before it came. It felt odd caring for a change.

Loki shifted and kept his gaze aimed away from the other two on the couch, propping his elbow on the arm rest and placing his chin in his hand. He ignored their conversation for now.

He glanced warily at Raun, well aware of how fast the thing moved when it wanted to. At least if Coulson kept petting him then Clint's ears probably wouldn't be on the list of things to play with. :Coulson, it's a cat. He wasn't even the most annoying thing in the room.:
sonofcoul: (I can be matter-of-fact.)

Coulson nodded slightly. "Fair point. He was probably a distant third. Still, it's the little things."

He finished his water and set the empty glass on the coffee table. "Anyway, so if leaving isn't happening tonight, will you be fine on the couch, Barton? I can bring out a pillow if you need it."

Loki fidgeted in place, growing antsy with nothing to do. There used to be a time when being still and quiet was usual for him--that time had long since past and fled screaming into the night.

:Or, just a thought, you could have your professional cat-sitter let me out and I can crash on my own couch.: He hopped off the couch and stretched. :You can work a door, right Houdini?:
sonofcoul: (Considering my options.)

"Fine by me, as long as you don't wander off and get picked up by animal control. Springing you from the pound would be a headache and a half."

"And in the morning when you're hungry or need to use the bathroom? What then?" It didn't really matter to him if Barton were here or there but...for whatever reason he seemed reluctant to send the tiger cub off.

That wasn't the reaction Clint had been expecting. Loki already had his laugh about this and bragged to Coulson. Shouldn't he be happy enough to show Clint the door? :What do you care?:

Coulson frowned slightly. "Or if there's an emergency and you can't contact anyone. It's actually a valid point. SHIELD would be the safest place for you."

[identity profile] justabitoffun.livejournal.com 2012-01-20 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Well he isn't going there right now so that's that." Translation: I win. Too bad Barton, too bad.

:...what just happened? Coulson, you can't switch sides mid-argument. That's a rule violation. And no SHIELD.: SHIELD would mean scientists and reports and things Clint didn't want to deal with when he was this small.

He looked pleadingly between them, trying to capitalize on this cute, fuzzy animal thing. :Just open the door. You know you want to.:
sonofcoul: (Thinking thinky thoughts.)

[personal profile] sonofcoul 2012-01-20 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm not switching sides. I'm on the side of keeping you safe, in case you've forgotten. Oh, and that expression doesn't work any better than it does when you're human."

He took a deep breath. "Stay here and I'll see if I can manage to keep you from having to write an incident report."
