Unknown Abilities (L.L)

-Confession- ³¹

"Loki..." You whispered as you took slow and hesitant steps.

"What's the matter?" He stood up from the couch and approached you slowly, his book abandoned on the table with a bookmark in it.

He was a tall dude so his strides are pretty long. He placed a soft gentle hand on your shoulder. "What is bothering you?" He said in a hushed tone.

"Nothing's bothering me...I just-" You close your eyes and let a sigh escape your lips. "I have something to tell you." You opened your eyes but still didn't want to meet his.

"Alright what is it?" He said gently squeezing your shoulder in a way of comforting you.

"Promise me first that nothing will change between us?"

"Of course." He said almost in a scoff, conflicted by your request.

You took one more calming breath and spoke, "Look through my mind." You mumble, not able to muster up the right words that can accurately describe what you're feeling. You close your eyes, waiting for him.

It's been a while since he saw your thoughts. He decided to give you your privacy after getting back from Sokovia. Since then, he swore he wouldn't invade your privacy like that again.

"Are you sure?" He hesitates, really making sure if you want this, not wanting to impose or feel like your privacy is being violated.

"Yes." That simple word urged him to fulfill your sudden request. He sighs before following your closed eyes, wanting to put all of his undivided attention on you

He penetrates your mind smoothly, no walls or barriers up, no fight, no fuss, you're just completely bare for him to see. As he traverses, he sees the different emotions and memories you've recently had.

Anger. Sadness. Confusion. Happiness.

But there's one that he didn't expect.

Love.

At the most, all he expected from his efforts were admiration or comfort, but finding love was indescribable. The emotion was so powerful and swirled all over you mind, coating everything in a mist of infatuation and fondness, all of this was almost overwhelming as he did not know how to respond.

He finds the memory of you hearing him that one night that swells pride and laughter from him to feel you so flustered and nervous. Then he finds out why you acted so strange this morning, it was because of a dream.

"Are you seriously telling me you do not feel anything towards me, not even noticing the small moments we have?" Loki yelled at you, his eyes brimming with tears.

"I- I don't" You stuttered as your hands fiddled, your teary eyes not wanting to meet his green ones.

"Liar." He spoke through gritted teeth while walking towards you, holding you by your shoulders and lifting your chin to make you face him. "You will speak that again while looking at me."

Staring deeply at his emerald eyes you couldn't bring yourself to say no, denying it would be further from the truth, and to be frank after this it's either both of you lose all progress of forming a friendship or gaining something more than just a friendship.

Both seems terrifying and frankly, a relationship would be hard to manage.

Letting out a sigh, you close your eyes turning away from him not wanting to feel the burning gaze any longer. "Loki-"

My my, I guess my little dove has been experiencing the same struggles in this whole predicament as I have been facing as well. Loki thought to himself.
