"Boo"

Flinching at the feeling of the flesh blood splattering all over her face. Y/N was left confused when she felt the man on top of her fall limp. Opening her eyes, she saw a rhadamanthine Loki standing above her, daggers in hand.

"Loki" she whispered before passing out.

Darting into the hallway, Loki saw Hydra agents looking dead sprawled out on the floor. He gave a small smile when he noticed that some of them had clearly had their eyes gouged out. Y/N he thought proudly. Hearing a scream, Loki was instantly snapped out of his thoughts and charged further down the hallway around the corner to be met with the sight of one of the agents hovering above y/n with a blade to her throat whispering something. This sight speedily sent Loki charging towards the man, daggers in hand and impaling him. Blood splattered from his neck, covering y/n as the man breathed his last breaths. Loki watched unamused whilst the man perished before him. Looking down at y/n, he saw her looking back at him before whispering Loki and falling unconscious.

Kicking the dead man to the side, Loki picked y/n up using the last of his energy to transport them both to the medical wing. No one was there. Of course no one was there. They were probably all still upstairs helping people escape or fighting off any other Hydra agents that were still present. Desperately, Loki tried to find some form of communication device to inform someone that y/n was hurt. Glancing towards her as he frantically looked for something, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken at the sight of y/n looking so disheveled. She'd taken some knocks before he got there. That much was clear.

Suddenly, Loki heard someone barging in, getting ready to fight, Loki relaxed when he saw it was a panicky Banner.

Loki quickly explained what had happened whilst Bruce hooked y/n up to a line ensuring she was getting all the painkillers and fluids she needed. Bruce then explained how the rest of the team were fine apart from a couple of scratches and that y/n took on the most. Whilst Bruce was talking, Loki was gripping onto y/n's hand like his life depended on it. Noticing that Bruce was looking, Loki didn't even loosen his grip.

"Y/N seems like she's going to be fine. She'll probably feel extremely tired when she wakes up and will have the hangover of all hangovers but untimely she'll be fine. I-I'll go. If you need anything then give me a shout".

Turning around, Bruce was stopped by a hand grabbing his arm.

"Thank you" Loki said appreciatively before letting him go.

Whilst y/n was out, Loki took the time to wipe away the blood from her face. He was relived he had gotten there at the time he did but also cursed himself for even letting her stay there alone in the first place.

When y/n woke up, she saw Loki sitting next to her with his eyes closed. She studied his face. He seemed to be resting but his eyebrows were furrowed like he was still on guard. Feeling her looking at him, Loki opened one of his eyes and said-

"Boo"

Noticing the sudden change in Loki's demeanour, y/n decided it was best if she didn't question him.

"Are you going to sit there all day or are you going to come closer, stroke my hair and call me pretty" y/n responded happily smiling at Loki. How do you say thank you for saving my life she thought as Loki got closer to her.

"I was actually going to say thank the Norns that you're alive. I couldn't possibly waste my time trying to get another midgardian to understand me like you do" he said sarcastically standing over y/n and stroking her hair.

"Loki"

"Yes"

"Thank you" she said tears beginning to fill her eyes.

"Anytime my lo— are you alright? Is there anything you need? Perhaps food or water or erm—".

"Loki I'm fine. You must be tired. Why don't you go back to your room and get some sleep?".

"And leave you? No. This is what we do. It's our routine. One of us is hurt and the other looks after them".

"Well, if you're not going to go, at least lay down with me then and try and get some sleep" she replied tapping the bed.

"If I knew this was all it took for me to get into your bed I would have tried to have you killed ages ago" he replied laughing as he got next to her on the bed.

"Always such nice words from you" she laughed wrapping his arms around her.

"They call me silvertongue in Asgard you know"

"I bet they do" she said facing him

"They do" he said also facing her

"Hmm" she said before closing the gap between them both and kissing him.

He deepened the kiss as his tongue explored her mouth. He felt his trousers tighten at the feeling of her sucking on his tongue. As he pulled away, he rested his forehead on hers.

"Silvertongue eh?" She chimed, voice slightly horse after the kiss.

"Hmm" he said matching her earlier tone as he started kissing her again.
