Just down the hall: Loki x fem!reader College AU

Chapter 23 - I love you

"Who is crying??" The gods look to Bucky and Sam who point to the lounge where you were sobbing.

"Y/n? Why are you crying?" Loki rushes over in a panic.

"It hurts!" You sob, holding out your hands and reaching out for him. Loki moves in place of Nat and tenses as you cuddle close to him.

"Why is she in pain??"

"Because it's that time of the month,"

"Time of month? Is she under a curse??" Loki pulls up a spell book as you munched on a candy bar with a frown.

"No... she's on her period? You know? Ovulation cycle?" Wanda tilts her head. "Where blood rushes out the vag for like 3-8 days?"

"IT WHAT?!" The gods shout with paling faces.

"SHUT UP!" You scream and bury your head deeper in the blankets.

"You guys didn't know this??"

"N-no?" Thor, clutches his groaning stomach. "I think I'm going to be sick," he rushes away.

"Am I that gross??" You whimper as another round of tears threaten to spill.

"No! No, darling, my brother is just an imbecile," Loki combs through your hair softly, kissing your temple as the girls slip away with held back grins.

"Really?"

"Of course, you are the most wonderful woman I know, dove," he coos into your ear, still confused if what he was saying or doing was the correct approach.

Curling closer, Loki took out book on Midgardian female anatomy, flipping through the book with concerned glances before shutting it, letting it shimmer away.

"Do you need anything?" Loki decided to just ask.

"No... this is good," you nuzzle against his neck making him freeze up with a rising blush. "Uhm... actually, can you turn Jotun? Or j-just your hand... it's nice," you point to his left arm as his right was draped over you.

"Of course," you watch the skin crawl blue, reaching out and holding it softly. If he wasn't in love before, he definitely was now. The tingly chill sent through his body as your traced over the lines on his hand made each heart string tug roughly.

"You're my best friend, Loki," you smile softy at him which tugged too roughly at his heart strings that it snapped. Best friend, huh?

"I'm offended!" Nat calls from down the hall.

"So am I!" Wanda adds.

"Best guy friend!"

"I'm offended!" Hades calls from Pietro's room.

"There is no winning with them, darling... you are ok with me calling you darling right?" he moved his sight to you.

"Of course, I think it's sweet," you kiss his knuckles and giggle at the cold feeling along your lips. Raising his hand up to his lips, he rolls his eyes.

"It doesn't affect me like it affects you, Y/n,"

"Bleh," you pout and pull the blanket over both of you. "But yeah, you're my best friend, and I'm so glad you're here," kissing his cheek softly, you lean against his shoulder and continue to trace the lines on his hand before falling asleep.

"Take, oh take those lips away, That so sweetly were forsworn, And those eyes: the break of day, Lights that do mislead the Morn; But my kisses bring again, bring again, Seals of love, but sealed in vain, sealed in vain," Loki let the words roll off his tongue, intending each word for you.

Though you would never hear such as you were deep in sleep. Soft rise and fall of your chest and little sniffles with each movement. He held you close, placing kisses on your head every so often and letting the coolness of his hand clutch onto yours.

He wished for this moment to last for eternity, the safety of you in his arms warming his heart.

"I love you," he mumbles softly against your hair knowing full well you were too far in a dream.

"Mm, I love you too, eggs and bacon from Howl's moving castle," you sigh out, the first part making him freeze up, though the addressal making him drop his head with a small laugh of relief.

"Silly queen," Loki moved you so you both laid sideways, him tucked close in his arms.

"Well, well, well," Clint stopped recording the scene with a wide grin before moving backwards through the vents.

~~~

Ha! You thought Clint wouldn't be in vents even at this age? Fools!
