Date Night/Loki’s Birthday
Who: Loki and Hob
When: Backdated to the evening of December 17th
Where: Loki’s Apartment
What: Dinner with a friend for Loki’s birthday
After over a thousand years worth of birthdays, Loki hardly celebrated his birthday much. He’s always been a bigger fan of Yule himself (which might be surprising considering how much he enjoys attention), but it’s true enough. With the snow falling and the decorations and the food and celebrations. Even Loki, who had often felt left out as a child, enjoyed all the celebrations around this time of year.
And now, for the first time in a very long time, he has the opportunity to celebrate. He might not have Thor or Frigga, or Mobius and his TVA family, but Loki did find there was one person here he always enjoys spending time with. And now, it turns out, it’s even a date. As much as Loki has tried to keep himself distant, not wanting to get too close only to have to lose people again, somehow Hob Gadling had worked his way in past Loki’s defences.
His initial idea for the evening had been to take Hob out to dinner, but though he did receive a good recommendation or two (he really must thank Rosie. Her suggestion was the best of them and Loki does still want to check out the little bakery and tavern she suggested), but nothing quite fit Loki’s imagining for the evening. As such, Loki has decided to host them in his apartment.
By the time Hob arrives, Loki’s apartment has been decorated in a combination of Yule and Christmas styles. A wreath of pine cones hangs on the door, and garland is draped elegantly along the tops of each wall with fairy lights woven into it. A tree stands in the corner, decorated with lights and glass ball ornaments and tinsel. It all gives a rather warm feeling to the room that Loki hopes Hob enjoys.
In the kitchen, he’s put together a meal of roast chicken, roasted potatoes and carrots and pan fried brussel sprouts, which will be ready shortly after Hob’s designated arrival time. There’s a desert in the fridge for after as well.
Now all Loki has to do is wait nervously for his guest to arrive.
