Are You The One?

Chapter 17: I Remember Him

Loki's POV

She hasn't came back yet, what's taking her so long? What if she's in trouble?

Last thing I saw was Heather and Tony walk out the tower doors. It's been about a good 50 minutes.

WHAT'S TAKING SO DAMN LONG!?

For some reason my mind couldn't seem to stay at ease. For sure she's okay, Tony couldn't harm her, she's strong and immortal.

She's- she's, mhm, yes, she's. Mhm..

"Dude you gotta chill, you've been pacing for quite a while now.", Clint said giving me a pat on my back and stopping my uncontrollable thoughts.

I actually didn't even think anyone was observing me. Also, using Midgardian slang words wouldn't help the situation either. I don't think I'll ever know what they mean.

"I gotta chill?", I asked of course, confused of the meaning.

Midgardian language is just the strangest.

"Um yea? Oh shit, my bad. It's a phrase we say on Earth to people who seem stressed out or panicking for no reason."

"I'm not stressed, you don't know me mortal- I mean Clint. I-I just wanted to know where Heather had gone, that's all." I lied.

He raised his eyebrow in disbelief, but then gave in and shrugged his shoulders.

"Hm, alright Tony actually called and said that he needs everyone in the main room. Heather is going to drink her little antidote for her spell in a bit and he wants us to be there just in case something happens."

In case something happens?

I should be the one there with her if she's doing it then.

"Oh is she? The main room you said huh, got it.", I quickly sped off downstairs to see if they were here.

3rd Person POV

As Loki rushed to the main room he bumped into Thor. He immediately slowed his pace, so he won't look like he's going to Heather desperately.

"You alright brother?", Thor said.

Thor definitely noticed on how fast Loki was waking towards the main hall. He also knew Heather was already at the main room too. He wondered if Loki was serious in what he said the other day, as he thought back at his words...

"No Thor, it all depends on what she wants"

"Is she that important to you Loki or was that just one a one night thing?", Thor said confused on what he saw that night.

"There wasn't even a night, it was just a kiss.", Loki sighed but not seeming dissapointed.

"I know you're not the one to just kiss anyone Loki. I support this sentiment you're starting to have for her, perhaps in the future it'll grow to more.", Thor softly smiled at his brother, making Loki nod shyly and fidget with his hands.

This was the first time he ever saw Loki shy from something like this. Whenever Loki would talk about women he'd be completely confident, romantic, and fully in control. This on the other hand this, was different. This was completely out of his control and it made him nervous and unsteady.

Loki had this suddent strong desire to protect Heather from everything and anything, knowing very well that she can end his life in seconds.
He never had felt this strong feeling of protection and immense care.
