Protective ~ Loki x OC

Part twenty-five//crystal.*

Olesia was sure Tony would flip out, but he somehow found the entire situation hilarious. No doubt, though she's glad she got there before any wedding planning of any sorts. She truly loves Loki, and sees that woman trying to trap him. It utterly broke her heart, she knew Eleanor wouldn't have valued Loki. She merely wanted him for his royalty, but he's so much more than that.

Olesia valued Loki for who he was, not for what he was born into. To Olesia, Loki was a person who was broken. He had been mistreated by his father, hid himself away his whole life, used and abused. It had taken a while for Loki to tell Olesia all about him, though it seemed easy to talk to her.

Easier than ever before, and he knew that it was time to give her crystal back to her.

Loki had grown attached to her crystal, the way it emitted energy in her colour. It showed him she was close and safe, the thought of returning it wasn't bad. He just hadn't realized how much he felt the need to protect her.

She was much more powerful now, and he didn't feel the need to hold on to the crystal. He knew he could give it to her and feel truly secure. If she was approached in an alley before, in the same circumstance she could very well have died. Though now, the energy that surged through her protected her and ensured she would survive.

Loki had fallen asleep, not less than an hour ago. This time, his head lay in Olesia's lap. Her odd timings of tiredness had vanished, she felt just as energetic as she did before prom. While she played and fiddled with his hair, making it very relaxing and easy to fall asleep. Soon after he fell asleep, Olesia pulled out her phone. She pushed her glasses up and began to read her book, one hand still curling through his soft messy black locks.

They were in the lounge area, though no one really cared. Everyone knew if they poked fun at Loki, he wouldn't leave his room for a week. So they keep quiet, for the most part. Ever since he began wearing sweatpants he didn't care what the others thought, so he wore them more often. Which made Olesia ecstatic because they could match comfy clothes. They both wore grey sweatpants, and black tank tops, Loki's was more of a muscle shirt. Letting her see his soft muscled chest.

Olesia continued to read her book, getting to a good part. Where you can't turn your attention away simply because of how deep this part is. Olesia's hand moved away from Loki's hair, and moved to the other side of her phone. Her eyes racking each line, consuming every word, understanding every single detail described.

Loki's eyes fluttered open as he no longer felt as relaxed, he moved his head to see Olesia deep in thought as she read. He then decided once she was done reading he would give her the crystal back, he wanted to at this point.

It was a sign of trust and love between the two.

"Mr. Loki, sir? What's up with her?" Peter asked, sitting on the couch diagonal from the couple. Loki smiled, turning his head to Peter.

"She's in a very good part of her book." He explained, Peter nodded curtly.

"Oh she looked out of it." He replied with a small laugh, Loki nodded.

"That happens a lot too." He whispered to Peter, getting a swat at his forehead from Olesia.

Peter turned on the television, which distracted him and Loki easily. Olesia read for ten minutes, as the boys watched the show. Olesia let out a confused sigh as she finished the part in her book, getting an odd look from Loki.

"She just killed off one of the main characters, and now everyone's going through a crisis. I hate books that do that, for fucks sakes." She says, Loki laughs. He sat up and put his hand in his pocket. She pushed her glasses up her nose and moved a stray piece of hair out of the way.
