You're Not a Monster, You're Beautiful: Loki x Fem!Reader

Chapter 9 - Moonwalk

It had been around 2 and a half months since you've been living in Avengers tower now. You've been doing well with your training, and sometimes you'd go on solo trips to San Francisco to visit Eddie and Annie - Venom and Guillotine got a long quite well and seemed to bond over food.

You and the Avengers became really great friends and they treated you like family and you and Loki had also become quite inseparable and bonded over Lemony Snicket's  books that you had introduced to him and sometimes you guys would pull pranks on the others too when you guys felt like it.

You didn't want to admit it, but you beginning to grow feelings for the Trickster god, and little did you know that he was, too.

Today was just a chill and normal day in the tower - you were listening to music while organizing your room because it was getting kinda messy so you thought you could take care of it. Let Me Move You by Sabrina Carpenter was playing on your headphones while you dusted your shelves and organized the books on them.

While you did that, you began dancing along while Guillotine was nodding her head to the music. You spun around with a broom in your hand that you used to dust the ceilings and started moonwalking (flawlessly might I add) to the song.

"So just let me move~ you", you sang. You sprayed your mirror and wiped it down so it was clean, only to be startled by Loki in the background smiling at you from behind the mirror when you looked and turned around. You put a hand to your heart to calm yourself. while putting your headphones around your neck. "Jesus, don't do that!" you exclaimed, throwing your rag at him.

"Scaredy-cat", Guillotine said, teasing you.

You shot her a 'bitch shut the fuck up' look, then rolled your eyes.

He caught it and laughed. "Apologies", he said with a cheeky grin. He gave it back to you, only for you to whack him with it. "Ow." You looked him up and down and chuckled. "What, what is it?"

"Now your dusty and greasy", you quipped with an innocent smile. He looked at his sleeves and gasped and began to dust them off so you took this as your opportunity to slide your headphones back on and carry on moonwalking. Loki waved his hand in front of your face as he was moving his lips, but you couldn't hear what he was saying. "What??" you said loudly. He pointed to your headphones. Oh, right!

You removed them and gave him your full attention as he was asking you a question. "What are you doing?" he said.

"I'm... cleaning...?"

"No, I mean... why are you moving so... strangely yet... gracefully?" he asked, not sure how to word his question. Huh. That's strange. Silver tongue turn to lead? No... no, he couldn't be that mesmerized by a Midgardian who happens to be his best friend now, could he? Unless... no! Well maybe?? Anyways-

"Oh!", you said in realization. "I'm moonwalking!" you beamed at him. You looked to see his confused expression and couldn't help but think it was cute. Wait...

"Moon...walking??"

"Yes, it's a dance that was invented by the apparently 'deceased' Micheal Jackson. He was performing one of his songs and then he just started gliding along the stage! It was a very surprising yet incredible moment in dancing history. He practically broke the laws of gravity, but really you just have to move your feet a certain way."

"And you say that this Micheal, son of Jack, is dead?" he asked, making sure he understood correctly.

"It's just Jackson, silly, not son of Jack", you corrected him politely. "Supposedly he is. I think he might be alive, I dunno", you shrugged. "Maybe he's hiding out and just living his life now, who knows? There's a whole bunch of conspiracy theories on how might still be alive."
