My Nonna
I based this one off of an ASMR video by TheWhiteRabbitASMR (this is the link if you’re interested) and I couldn’t help but use her character for Noelle’s Grandmother. I always liked the idea of Loki meeting the good parts of Elle’s Family so this seemed right.
I swear, all this spam is relevant to my new stuff!
Background: Noelle and Loki were “Bound” by a witch in Alfheim after a battle they fought in. This means that the witch split each of their souls in half and one half switched places. Noelle has half of Loki’s soul and vice versa. They can feel each other's emotions and hear each other's thoughts. Noelle is also Half Asgardian, half Midgardian. Her father is Tyr and her mother is of Midgard.
Summary: Loki is introduced to Noelle’s Italian grandparents
Warnings: Fluff. I think I watched my mouth for this one so there shouldn’t be any swears? I don’t remember.
My Nonna
Noelle PoV:
"Okay, this one is hers. I'm going to warn you. She will demand you eat everything she can think of. She will feed you even if you're full and never accept no as an answer. She will also ask you a million questions that you won't always have an answer to. But she's great! You'll be fine." I ramble out as we walk up the steps to my Nonna's house. He chuckles and pulls me close to kiss my forehead. I take a deep breath and squeeze Loki's hand as we walk in.
It's about 12:30 so she will be in the kitchen. We find her at the kitchen table muttering at the newspaper.
"Hi, Nonna!" I say to get her attention.
"Oh, my darling!" She exclaims in her thick Italian accent. "Oh my goodness. Oh, come. Come to Nonna, come here." She kisses my cheeks and my forehead repeatedly. I giggle a little bit and pull away. "How are you, my bambina? What are you doing? Oh my love, my beauty. How are you doing, my little bambina?"
"I'm good, Nonna. How are you?"
"I miss you so much! Your Nonna miss you. Where have you been, ah? Where have you been?"
"I've been working, else I would come see you more."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes. I know, I know it's very very difficult now, this moment. With the many changes in the life, I know. But you gotta make time for Nonna!"
"Yes, ma'am. Nonna, this is Loki." I take Loki's hand and pull him up to the forefront with me so she can see him clearly. "My husband, Nonna."
"Ah! Your husband! You have a husband, my little bambina? You are married? Since when? Why did I not go?"
"It was a really sudden wedding. I didn't know it was happening until an hour before I said 'I do.'"
"Come here, let me see you, bambino, come to Nonna." She grabs Loki's arm and he lowers himself in front of her, she kisses his cheeks and he blushes slightly. He kisses her cheek as well, which surprises me a ton if I'm being honest.
"Sit, sit, sit. Both of you, sit. Have some lunch with me."
"We just ate, Nonna. We don't want to intrude-"
"What do you mean you just ate. No, no, no. Sit down. You have lunch with me, you keep Nonna company. You just ate." She scoffs. "You so thin, you so thin! Look at you! You are a nothingness. No, no. If you turn this a way, you just poof! You disappear. No. I don't take no for an answer. You eat with Nonna."
Loki is chuckling at the exchange as she pinches my cheeks and wags her finger at me. "What you giggling about over there, husband? Ah? You're too thin, too. You eat with me, with Nonna."
"As you wish, ma'am." He stops chuckling. I elbow him in the ribs.
"Why you so thin, why they no feed you at home? Ah? Why your mother not call me?" She asks.
I stop for a moment and take a deep breath, "She can't call you, Nonna." I say quietly. She has bad memory so she doesn't remember my mother getting sick. At first, I reminded her every time I saw her but she would just cry so I don't anymore. I just say she can't call.
Loki looks at me and takes my hand under the table, squeezing gently. 'Are you alright?' I glance at him and respond 'Yes.'
Meanwhile Nonna is still talking. "One day, I'm not be here and they will cry! They will cry. Oh, not you, my little Bambina, no no no. You're a good one. You always come and see Nonna, I love you!" She stands up and goes the the cupboard behind her. "You want some milk? I get you some milk. You want some cookies with your milk? The cookies with milk? You remember when you were a little kid and you always had the cookies in the milk? That was nice, ah? I get you some."
I glance at Loki, who is grinning at me and Nonna. He's clearly amused.
"You know I still have you're little bowl!" She turns to Loki, "I keep everything. My bambina use this as a baby, ah? You remember, Bambina?" I nod at her. She looks back at me "You want a little..." she taps on the glass in her hand, trying to remember the word. "Spoon! You want a little spoon?"
"No, thank you."
"Okay, I can pour some milk for you." She picks up the milk from the table. "I know you are... intolerant to the lactose. I got you milk with no lactose. But don't you tell me that you becoming one of those who are allergic to life, okay? I understand the milk thing but the cheese! Why you cannot eat, ah?" She looks slightly put out. We have this conversation often but she doesn't always remember.
"The cheese has lactose, Nonna."
"Ah, I have found mozzarella without the lactose. So next time Nonna make you lasagna, you will have the cheese without the lactose."
"I would love that, Nonna, thank you."
"Ah, Nonna think of you. Nonna love you!"
We eat a bit of everything she puts in front of us, Loki more than me. I keep feeding him my food so Nonna thinks that I am eating it by myself.
"Where is Nonno? Is he still asleep?"
"Ah, your Nonno. Ever since that pension, he do not wake up at a decent time. He wake up whenever he want to. He wake up nine o'clock in the morning. He no wake up at a decent time."
I laugh, "Nonna, you wake up way earlier than a normal person."
She scowls at me lightly, "4:30 is a decent time in the morning."
"Whatever you say, Nonna."
The entire visit lasts about 2 hours. She spends the whole time feeding us and eventually convinces us to have dinner with them as well. I tell her about my new family, the Avengers, and she demands that she makes dinner for all of them. Loki texts Tony with my phone to ask how many people were in the tower and I took Nonna to the store so she can buy what she needs. We go and get Nonno before heading back to the tower, where she makes all of us dinner.
Nonno falls asleep in the living room with Steve and Bucky, who also pass out on each other. Natasha takes tons of pictures while Wanda and Tony help Nonna in the kitchen. Tony surprises me by speaking in fluent Italian to both her and Nonno. When Peter and Morgan come in with Pepper, I introduce them to Nonna.
She gasps upon seeing little Morgan, "Ah! What a bellissimo piccola! A pretty little girl. Come, come, darling. I will be your Nonna!" She takes Morgan from me and holds her hand, walking her over to where her father is making the dessert. Tony lifts Morgan onto the counter and gives her a pastry he just finished. Pepper just smiles.
When dinner is ready, Nonna gathers us at the table (Loki extended it with his magic for this evening) and we devoured every bite of everything she made. Peter and Morgan eat way more desert than anything else, so their energy levels spiked rapidly towards the end. Eventually Tony sent them to the couch, where they bounced around for a bit before falling asleep with the sugar crash while watching a movie.
"Why you no tell me my Bambina getting married, ah? Why you no tell Nonna?" Nonna rants at Tony. His demeanor is calm but I could tell from his energy that he was nervous.
"I didn't know you were around, sweet lady. I would have invited you if I knew." He explains gently.
She scoffs and wags her finger at me, "You supposed to tell your Nonna you getting married!"
"I'm sorry, Nonna."
"It's okay, my little bambina. My love, my beauty. Ah, your Nonna love you. You're a good one." She pinches my cheeks and starts talking to Pep about the kids.
Loki laughs quietly and kisses my temple before whispering in my ear, "And you were worried about how she would react to me." Followed by another chuckle. I lean over and kiss his cheek.
"I wasn't worried about how she would react to you. I was worried about how well she would take a random shock about something this big." I retort. He grins and kisses me full on the mouth, earning fake puking sounds from Clint and Nat while Steve blushes and Thor applauds.
"No kissing the bambina in front of Nonna, husband." Nonna shouts across the table before turning to Tony, "He a ragazzaccio over there, ah?"
"Si nonna, è cattivo!"
"Tony!" I cry, laughing.
Tony flushes, "You know what I said?" He said, slightly shocked.
"Of course I do. Look at the woman you are talking to and tell me that she wouldn't teach me Italian as a child. Go ahead, I'll wait." I fold my arms across my chest and throw on my best smug smirk.
Tony glances at Nonna then back at me, "I guess you're right." I laugh and go back to talking to Loki.
Around about 9:30, we take Nonna and Nonno home. I make sure Nonno gets in bed and bid Nonna a good night, promising to come back next week.
It's a beautiful night, it being early June in New York, so Loki and I decide to walk back to the tower since its only a few blocks away. We walk along the street hand in hand, laughing and talking about everything that has happened in the past three months that he had been gone. As we walk through Central Park, Loki pulls me to a stop under a big tree and pulls me close to him. He leans his forehead down on mine.
"I really missed you, My Queen." He whispers.
"I missed you more." I tell him. He smiles.
"My apologies, Lady Friggason, but I am afraid that I must inform you that that is quite impossible. I missed you like the sun misses the moon, destined to chase you, forever and a day. I missed you because I love you. I love you like a studded leather jacket worn inside out, digging into my chest eager to draw blood." He brings his lips to mine softly.
"You are very dramatic." I mutter between his kisses.
"You love it." He answers.
I shrug and nod in agreement, pulling him back for another kiss. It doesn't last long. We pull away after a minute and walk back to the tower.
