Shadows of the Past

Part 34

(LOKI POV)
A few loud knocks call your attention to the glass and you know they have what they need or at least enough to get them started.  You stand up slowly, smoothing out your pants and make your way to the door.  

You turn towards Marc and give him your best mischievous smile, you are happy to see he knows he screwed up.  Placing your hand on the door knob you say “You’re right, this was fun."  You step out of the room and close the door hard, then you head back to the observation room.

Y/N opens the door with a wide smile and she hugs you tightly.  "Loki, that was amazing!  And kinda hot..." she says looking up at you with a slight blush.

You raise your eyebrow at her, "Oh, really?"

She nods slowly and smiles, “Mmhmm, I don’t know... just the way you took control of the room and outsmarted him so easily.”

You run your fingers along her cheek and then under her chin, bringing her lips closer to yours but Stark says, "Think you two could wait until your alone for that?"

"Very well," you sigh as you roll your eyes at him, causing Y/N to laugh.   

“That really was impressive, great job Loki,” Steve pats you on the back with a broad smile.  Sometimes he really reminded you of Thor but the last thing you needed was another brother.  

“I think next time we do this, we should send you in first.  That slip about the library was perfect, Y/N is already dying to get upstairs and bury herself in research,” Hill laughs a little.   

Before you can say anything to them, Stark says, "I’ll admit, you did good.  I didn’t think you’d be able to pull it off.”

“What was that?” you ask him.

Stark sighs, “You heard me.”

“I’m not sure if I did... it sounded almost like a compliment,” you say with a smile.  You turn to Y/N, “Did you hear that?”

She puts her hand over her mouth to cover her laugh but she nods.  

“Don’t get too excited about it reindeer games, I’m not saying it again,” Stark says as he goes to head out of the room.  Steve and Hill follow him out, you and Y/N stay behind.  You watch through the glass as Steve and Stark unchain him from the table and ground then take him away.

She slips her hand into yours and you squeeze it tight.  Y/N looks up at you and smiles, you bend down and kiss her quickly.  She pouts at the short kiss, causing you to laugh.  You take a step towards the door and give her hand a gentle tug, “Come on, you can tell me all about how hot I was during the interrogation when we get back to my room.”  You wink at her, making her giggle and blush a bit.

(Y/N POV - the next night)
A knock on your office door pulls your attention from your computer screen and when you look up you see Loki standing in the doorway.  Your heart suddenly sinks as you realize its after 8:30.

“Loki, I’m so sorry,” you quickly start to apologize as you stand up.  “I didn’t-” you start to explain but he cuts you off.

“Y/N, its ok...” he says as he walks into your office.  He takes his right hand from behind his back and holds up a fairly large paper bag, “I brought dinner.”  He smiles at you which somehow makes you feel even more guilty.

You move around your desk and hug him tightly.  He places the bag on your desk then hugs you back.  Loki kisses the top of your head then plays with your hair.  “I’m sorry Mischief,” you tell him again, hiding your face in his chest.  You were supposed to meet him at 7 to watch a movie and order food but you had completely lost track of time.
