Temptation (complete)

Chapter five

After a while of teaching Loki earth slang you look at the time and see it's 9:30.

"I'm gonna go to bed." You say.

"Okay. Sweet dreams, sugar." Loki says, smirking.

"I hate being called that." You say.

"I know. That's why I said it."

"Jerk." 

"Ouch."

You roll your eyes and get ready for bed. Loki takes his shirt off and you see scars all over his arms. You tilt your head to get a better look at them.

"What are those scars on your arms from?" You ask.

"Nothing."

"Tell me. I won't judge."

You start estimating what they could be from. They look fairly clean, so nothing from battle. They look like a small blade like a knife were what cut him.

"I said nothing," Loki says a little more firmly.

"If you tell me I'll stop bugging you. Come on. Tell me. Tell me. Tell meeeeee."

"Alright!" Loki yells. "Alright. They're from self-harm."

You look at Loki in surprise.

"You're judging me. I can feel it." He states.

"I'm not judging, as a matter of fact, I have a couple of those too." You say lowering the collar of your tank top to reveal a stab wound scar just below your heart.

"Why did you do it?" He asks.

"I was a depressed teen, I was stressed I had anxiety and I was always getting stabbed in the back by my fake best friend. One day, I wanted to end it all. I took a pair of scissors right below the heart." You say getting choked up. "Yours?"

"I told you I lived in my brother's shadow. I would take a knife to my arms to gain attention." Loki explains also getting choked up.

You say "Come here." He walks over and you get to your knees on the bed and hug him tightly. He's taken by shock.

"What are you doing?" He asks.

"I'm giving you a hug. You looked like you needed one." You say with your head muffled in his shoulder. He wraps his arms around you slowly.

You and him finally got to sleep. You get a call at 9:00. You answer in a grumpy voice "Hello."

"Hey. It's Tony. Can you come to the tower with Loki please?"

"Sure? Why?"

"Because we have a task for someone of your skillset," Tony says.

You hang up and yell, "Wake up!"

Loki bolts awake and falls off the couch.

"The Avengers need us for something." You explain.

Loki gets off the ground and grabs his clothes from yesterday. You grab yours too. You go to the bathroom and change while he changes in the main area. You both walk to the tower and see a few people starring. You mind speak to Loki You're not in a different form, that's why they're staring at you. He nods at you. You walk into the tower but instead of Stark it says 'Avengers'.

You laugh and mumble, "Of course."

You walk in and see Tony and the other Avengers standing at the front waiting for you.

"What did you need help with?" Loki asks.

Tony glares at him. He grabs your wrist and pulls you to the side away from Loki.

"How's living with a stuck-up god?" He asks.

"Just as bad as you'd think. He walked in on me showering."

"Oof. I'm sorry."

You look over and see Loki talking to Nat. Nat looks over to you and whispers to Loki. You can't hear it and Loki is blocking her mind from being read. You mind speak to him We need to pretend we hate each other, okay? They think you're a villain. I personally don't want to deal with Tony's lectures. He thinks Okay. You nod.

Loki walks over and says, "So, how would you like me to undress you tonight? Softly with my hands, or slowly and intimately with my teeth."

You lean over and whisper in his ear, "How bout, neither."

Tony hears this and bursts into laughter. The other Avengers don't know what you said and Tony explains. Everyone else starts laughing as well.

Well, now they think I hate you so that's good. They won't suspect we're actually getting along well. You mind speak to Loki.

"Y/n, we need you to telekinesis all the rubble into one pile," Tony says.

"I'm not a maid Stark." You tell him.

"Please." He begs.

You give in and move everything into a corner so they can clean it up later. You and Loki head back to the hotel room. Loki grabs the Kraft singles and bread and makes two grilled cheeses. He hands you one.

"Thanks, Loki." You say as you take a bite. You expected it to chard because that was his first time using any kitchen appliance but it didn't. It tasted better than any other grilled cheese you've had but it does taste strange. You look at it in shock.

"This is really good." You tell him with your mouth full.

"Thank you," Loki says.

You turn on the TV. You turn it to the cooking channel.

"Woah!" Loki says.

"What?" You giggle.

"What is that magic screen?" He asks.

"It's called a TV, Loki." You laugh.

"Oh. Okay?"

You find it kind of cute the way he's reacting to the TV. He's looking at it in awe. He looks at you. He smiles. You realize you were smiling too. You inch your finger in a 'come here' motion as you inch closer to the bed. He follows you. You grab him by the shirt and kiss him. He pushes you onto the bed gently and crawls on. He pins you to it intimately taking your shirt off. You know what happens next ;)

You lay in the bed for a while under the covers and feel Loki's body next to yours. Just like in your daydream from the second time he came to your room. His arm is around you in a protective manner. You look at him and smirk. He looks at you and lightly moves your hair out of your face.

"Loki, I want to make one thing clear. No one can know about this. I mean no one." You say.

"Of course darling." He agrees.
