The Consultant (Loki x Male Reader)

part: 39 (mature)

3rd pov

loki and y/n laid peacefully on the couch in the reading room, y/n's light snores nice background noise as loki read.

y/n's head was laid on loki's chest, his arms holding him tightly by the waist. loki held his book with one hand and the other gently worked out the small knots in y/n's hair.

a soft nock was heard on the door and loki looked up from his book as the door opened.

fury peaked his head in and walked in fully when he made eye contact with loki. loki bit the inside of his cheek, slightly nervous. he didn't know how fury felt about him and y/n.

fury looked at the scene before him. y/n, one of the people he had cherished the most, was holding onto the man who had tried to take over new york. the man who had killed coulson. the man who almost killed y/n.

he couldn't understand why y/n liked him so much. loki, the man who had hurt him so much. and he still took him back. held him in his arms.

he kind of enjoyed the way loki was looking up at him. that nervous look in his eyes that he was trying so hard to hide.

"you don't know how lucky you are that he's forgiven you for everything you've done," fury said.

loki's lips flattened and he snapped his book shut.

"i do know. i think about how i don't deserve him every second we're together," loki replied, setting the book down on the end table.

fury hummed.

"i need to speak with him," fury said. loki took a deep breath and nodded.

"y/n, love," loki said gently, patting y/n's shoulder. y/n whined and turned his head to lay on his other cheek. loki lightly chuckled at how cute he was.

"darling," loki said, trailing his hand up and down y/n's spine. he looked through the corner of his eye to see fury glaring at him.

"hmm?" y/n hummed, half awake.

"love, fury is here. he wishes to speak with you," loki said, and y/n cracked his eyes open and lifted his head to look tiredly at loki.

"tell him to come back later," y/n mumbled, laying his head back down and closing his eyes.

loki laughed. "i'm afraid it's too late for that. he's already in the room."

y/n was fully awake now. he looked back and saw fury staring back at him. he reluctantly sat up off of loki and plopped down on the other end of the couch.

loki sat up as well, folding his hands in his lap.

"you've been assigned to your first mission as an avenger, y/n. congratulations," fury said.

y/n sat up straighter in his seat and smiled excitedly.

"what am i to do?" y/n asked, patting his thighs.

"there's a wealthy hydra leader who's holding a celebration tomorrow. you're to be sent in to distract him while clint and natasha are sent in to collect information," fury explained.

y/n gulped at the mention of hydra, but hid his nervousness well.

"and how am i supposed to distract him? wouldn't natasha be better for that roll?" y/n asked.

fury cleared his throat and rubbed his chin.

y/n eyebrows raised. "oh. so he's... gay?"

"we believe so." fury nodded.

"clint could still do it even if he isn't into men," y/n mumbled.

"but you aren't trained enough yet to do what he needs to do. we didn't just pick you because of your preferences, y/n," fury said.
