Redemption and Love (Loki Fanfiction)

Heartache

As Diane woke up she felt sore, all the tension that had built up for the last weeks was gone, she had cried herself to sleep. She felt her eyes dry as there were no more tears on them. The anger was gone replaced with melancholy, there was no one in the house, she was alone.

"I've made a mess of everything" — she admonishes herself mentally —"Why? Isn't it enough he's still here? Why do I keep worrying about the day after? "- Then answered her own question —

-"Because you didn't with Edward and he left" she confessed —"But Loki isn't Edward"-

She sighed at least she was thinking clearly now as if her tears had washed down her fears.

"Why doesn't he tell me that he loves me? That would be enough"-

She needed someone to talk to, though there weren't many people that could understand.

-Natasha? - It wasn't as they were best friends but she had always been nice to her and she might understand.

-Yes. Diane? What's wrong? - The woman on the other side of the phone asked

-Nothing really, I just needed someone to talk. Are you busy? - She wasn't entirely sincere.

-No, I'm just unwinding from the mission. What's on your mind?

-Loki and I had a fight last night, it was my fault. I overreacted. Now I'm feeling anxious he's still angry-

Natasha reassured her — I wouldn't worry if I were you, Loki loves you.-

-You think? He has never told me so-Diane admitted

-Really? Well, he isn't good at expressing his feelings. You know it took him centuries to tell both his parents and Thor about the way he felt.-

-You're probably right- she sighed

-Are you ok? You sound sad- Natasha asked worryingly

-Yes, I'm just feeling a bit lonely, neither Samantha nor Loki in the house, it feels so quiet.-

-Do you want me to come over? We can get a cup of coffee-

-No, it's ok. Besides I have to pick up Samantha from school.-

-Ok, how about we get together one of these days? Maybe go shopping?-

-I'd like that-Diane smiled she would really like that

-Call me later then- Natasha replied

-I will- she hanged up the phone as she went to take a shower thinking about their conversation, "She really thinks he loves me? I hope she's right".

Meanwhile at the Avenger Tower Loki had finally decided to get up, he hadn't sleep much and he still felt angry at the events of the night before.

After grabbing something to eat he sat at the sofa and played the movie he had bought.

Tony and Clint went in and sat at the sofa with him.

-What are you seeing?-they asked him

-A movie Diane likes-he replied

-Why?-Tony asked

-So I can figure something out-he replied a bit unsure he could.

-You are looking worried, is everything ok?-Tony asked again

-Not really-he needed some human input into the whole situation, he might as well tell them-Diane and I got into a fight last night.-

-I can't believe that, you lovebirds fighting? - Tony replied in disbelief
