Loki x Y/n imagines

Fall in love with a swing💚

Y/n was a new recruit of the Avengers. No she wasn't anything like a sorceress or anything she was just another mortal but she was a pretty good spy and even if not black widow level her highest skill of all was her intelligence. She was smart, sharp, quick thinker and she often managed to impress Tony with her ideas which led to them making her a part of the Avengers. She was good at her job, she also got along with the others well but there was just something about 1 person. Loki Friggason.
As everyone knows his history, with him now trying to find redemption he also joined the Avengers and they accepted it because of Thor. It wasn't that she hated him but that was the problem was that, it was the opposite, cause she was in love with him. They were good friends, they did well together on missions, they always had fun together you know pranking others together, movie nights, whenever she'd have a nightmare or would get too stressed he was always there for her and she did the same for him. He would tease her sometimes but thinking that he's probably just joking, she wouldn't give into it. She did always try her best to be as confident as she could but when it came to him she couldn't gather enough courage for it, even though she's beautiful, smart, strong many many things but at the end of the day in her eyes she was just another mortal not someone a god would possibly fall in love with.
On the other hand in Loki's eyes she has always been a goddess. He didn't know what made him feel this way about her, was it her ethereal beauty? Or was it her possible genius brain? Or was it just her kindness, her smile, her dedication, her ability to make him feel loved? What was it? He didn't know but all he knew that he was madly in love with her, he didn't know why but he dosen't even want to at this point. He wants her and only her, Y/n. He wants to be able to call her his queen and only his. But it certainly was a very new feeling for him. If it was someone else he would've just asked them but he couldn't gather enough courage to ask her out. What if she didn't feel the same way? And what if she pushes him aside, that was the only risk he couldn't take. So even though it ached him to see her with other boys, maybe this was the closest he could stay to her even if it just means being only friends.
But Y/n couldn't control herself around him with that being said, she started dating Thor. Honestly she felt bad for him cause no matter how hard she tried she couldn't love him especially not as much as she loved Loki. She felt bad for just using him as a distraction but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

Presently:
Y/n was currently attending the yule ball in Asgard. Generally she has never been to Asgard as this was her first time except for a few like Sif, Frigga, Heimdall, etc most wasn't fond of her. She kept wondering why but it may just be because, again she looked down at herself as just a mortal but she was so much more than that. As she walked the halls most maidens eyes filled with envy while the others actually smiled at her. Y/n made her way to the main ball room as Thor joins her side.
Thor: Lady Y/n, you look stunning. *he says while his cheeks slowly turns blush pink*
Y/n: well thank you. *as she was about to take his hand a guard arrives*
"M'lord, father of all, King Odin has asked for you to meet him in the throne room"
Thor: uh excuse me for a moment, m'lady.
*Thor walked away as Y/n makes her way to the bar. Loki was sitting a few chairs next to her but she didn't say anything until Loki noticed her and started the conversation*
*Loki comes over to her from the behind greeting her*
Loki: well darling, don't you look ravishing.
*Y/n turns her head to face him as she sees the god of mischief dressed in a crimson & black suit*
Y/n: my my, you look handsome.
Loki: thank you. So may I have a dance?
Y/n: Loki..no.
Although her heart was screaming for her to say yes.
Loki: c'mon it's just a dance.
Y/n: yeah..no. I'm waiting for Thor.
Loki: well..your wish.
*he says and sits down again next to her this time, chugging a drink*

Y/n sat there for about 40 or 50 minutes but Thor hasn't returned. Almost every Asgardian came and went, every maiden wearing gorgeous big dresses where Y/n was wearing a plain red dress, she still looked like luxury but she didn't feel as special. After
Y/n spent almost an hour of sitting around doing nothing except just drinking and looking around Loki comes to her again.
Y/n: what do you want?
Loki: c'mon your dancing with me.
Y/n: but Thor will be ba-
Loki: oh please. He hasn't been back for about an hour or so and you deserve to have fun. C'mon it's just a dance.
*Loki said as he held out his hand to her which after a minute, Y/n finally accepted*

Loki: close your eyes, just trust me for once.
*Y/n closes her eyes as Loki gently spins her around, after opening her eyes she sees a new dress. Still the same design but made out silk in an emerald colour*
Loki: like?
Y/n: love.
*they both smiled at each other as Loki slowly guided her to the middle of the room as all eyes were on them*
*Y/n started getting a little nervous as Loki gently placed his hand under her chin bringing her face closer to his, making her look directly into his eyes*
Loki: there's no need to be nervous, dear. Forget about them, just focus on me.
*he whispered to her, as it worked like a spell. She kept her attention only on him as he started to lead the dance*
They danced and danced they were absolutely the best dancing couple there. The others they they followed them and it seemed like they were one person, one shadow twirling around the ballroom. their heartbeats were the same, their eyes fixed only on each other's eyes, their hand movements in sync, following each other most graciously.

After that the music changed to a more relaxing tone as they gave up the main spot to another couple, now blending in the room with the other couple's. As they slowly kept on dancing, Loki raised a question.
Loki: so after this if I ask you out on well-what if we just get dinner together? Or do something else together?
Y/n: I thought this was just a dance not a date.
Loki: it is but afterwards how about then I take you on a date?
Y/n: Loki, we can't do this.
Loki: why not?
Y/n: b-because I'm with Thor and this wouldn't-
Loki: Y/n, I'm tired. I'm tired of pretending. Pretending like I don't care, pretending like it dosen't hurt me to see you with Thor. And I know you don't feel the same way about him either. I don't know if you love me the way I do but I do know that you don't love him either. And bigger than that I know that he doesn't deserve you. He treats you like an object, something he can control but you deserve to be treated no lesser than a queen. He blows you off whenever he wants, he chooses what you have to wear and what you can't wear, how ridiculous is that. He dosen't even let you go on the missions you choose.
Y/n: he was just trying to protect me.
Loki: your fire. Your strong, passionate, brave, your like fire you can't be tempted.
Y/n: Loki, your the god of mischief, all the avengers are something special either a goddess or sorceress or some super spy point is all of you are powerful in some way but I'm nothing more than a mortal ok. And if something happens I can't survive these many times I might as well will be dead.
Loki: Y/n, I will never let you get hurt. I want you to experience everything you've ever wanted to experience not to be locked up but when you'll do it I'll be by your side for it all. I promise you on my life, I will never. let. anyone. lay. a hand. on. you. *Loki said he's last words while planting quick pecks on her neck, in between sentences*
A few eyes landed on them but they didn't care. Their eyes fixed on each other, eyes filled with love, their lips only a few inches apart, Y/n's heart was fluttering like the wings of a hummingbird.
Loki: I won't force you, you can leave after this if you want but I needed you to know the truth. Can't you see I'm in love with you, Y/n. I love you-
*Y/n cut him off mid sentence but locking her lips with his. She kissed him gently but as the kiss deepened it got more passionate, more desperate, like both of them wanted this for centuries and now they finally got it.*
After they both pulled away, they both felt happiness they never felt.
Y/n: I love you too, Loki.
Loki scanned her eyes looking for the lie but nothing, it was just the simple truth. His eyes filled up with joy as a huge a smile crept up onto his face. As the song was almost coming to an end they both started actually dancing again as he swirled her around only to bring her more closer to him with one of his arm gently wrapped around her waist. Both of them were glowing.
Y/n: I thought fire and ice dosen't mix.
Loki: I completely disagree. Ice and ice wouldn't be able to keep each other warm same applying for fire. Somehow you have an ability to make me feel safe, noticed, love. You can make my cold heart feel warm while now I can keep your fiery passion the same way. Not tempted but not too much to cause yourself any harm, to help make you feel calm, protected, loved.
Y/n: mhm perfectly balanced.
Loki: as it all should be.
*they both smiled at each other as they saw Thor arriving*
They both looked at each other again while they firmly held each other's hands and ran out of the palace to the beginning of their own unknown journey.
