"But then I would have missed the Surprise," she said. She turned his music and his curling iron off and pulled him hurriedly by the hands out of the bathroom.
In the sparkling hallway she stopped and turned back to him, then took a few steps back and gazed at him a little longer. The Christmas lights gleamed in his eyes - by the looks of she suspected there were black smudges on his index finger at that very moment - and his expression did him a whole lot of additional good. He looked like he had just had a two tier birthday cake all to himself. But she felt like he was her birthday cake.
"Loki, you look amazing like this."

"Thank you, darling..."
He came forward to clasp her hands.
"On the other hand, Veidt's going to have a conniption. I was supposed to maintain likeness."

She was staring at the way his jawline and cheekbones almost seemed sharper to her on the close-shaved side.
"...can't remember."

He noticed and helpfully turned his head, smirking.
“If I’d known this was the reception I’d get, I’d have done this months ago.”

She didn't want to make the curls go lank so she just touched the shaved side of his head and marveled at it, then shyly touched her own mouth with her knuckle.

He moved aside her hand and leaned in to kiss her.
"Well," he said, "how fortunate for me."

She slid her hand through his hair, or over it, and gently gripped at the back of his head, kissing him back with urgency.

"Loki," she gasped in whispered, affronted delight. "I can't believe you did this-"
