Friends with Benefits

15

The following day at college, you walked through campus wanting to avoid Thor and Loki, familiar with their timetables. They had classes today too. You hadn't heard from either of them since yesterday which was a bit disheartening considering that you did in fact want them to reach out. Why couldn't men be born with telepathy? If either of them had reached out though, you were near certain you wouldn't have answered your phone. They deserved to suffer for a while. Thor especially even though you couldn't remember what he had actually done to you this time. Loki was the you were upset with. You honestly thought that he liked you but all this time it was a lie. According to Thor he didn't like you at all and he wasn't sorry for insulting you.

You thought back to the night of the party when you kissed him. Despite the fact that you were intoxicated, you meant it, you wanted to kiss him. You were happy that he kissed you back. Did he just do it to feed into your desires, not wanting you to feel embarrassed? Did he just assume you were too out of your mind to know what you were doing? Surely if he liked it, liked you, he would have mentioned the kiss in the morning but he didn't, he just spoke about stupid fucking breakfast. You felt stupid, you honestly thought Loki was different but seeing him wrapped up with some other woman showed you that he was just like his prick of a brother.

Spotting you walking across the green outside college, Loki nudged Thor forwards.

"Go and speak to her." He ordered.

"I don't think I should, she doesn't look to be in a good mood." Thor answered, not wanting to have to explain to you that all this time he had been lying about Loki.

"You said you'd sort it so sort it." Loki answered, nudging him forwards again. With a deep sigh, Thor made his way towards you.

"Y/n—" he began, beginning to walk alongside you.

"Fuck off Thor." You answered stoically.

"I need to talk to you, really talk to you." He insisted.

"Unless you're dying, I have nothing to say to you." You scoffed, changing direction and walking quicker.

Observing the interaction, Loki sighed, holding his head in his hands at Thors sudden incompetence. He had watched Thor manage to sweet talk himself into your company for over a year, why now had his charm dulled? He needed to speak to you and he needed Thor to explain his meddling if there was any chance of you both salvaging your friendship. When Thor walked back towards him, Loki cut his eye at him before taking a deep breath, working up the courage to do the job Thor was too useless to fulfil.

You continued to walk, looking towards the ground hoping that Thor wasn't still following you like a lost puppy. What could he possibly want to say right now that would console you? You continued to walk until you collided with someone's chest. Coming to a halt, you looked up only to be met with Loki gazing down at you. Your heart seized to beat as if this was the first time you had laid eyes on this handsome man, how on earth was it that you hadn't properly ever noticed him before. Too wrapped up in Thors sheets. Loki was sexy but he also wasn't in your good books at the moment. Wanting to spare yourself the heartache of having to listen to him telling you to your face that he didn't like you, you tried to step past him until he blocked your step.

"Y/n, can we speak?" He asked.

"No Loki we cannot speak." You answered, trying to take another step before he stood in front of you again.

"Please."

"No."

"Pleasee."

"No!" You answered, raising your voice as you pushed him back slightly and continued to walk. What did Loki want to possibly say? Sorry for not calling or messaging you and then fucking someone else. It wasn't like you two were in a relationship.

Your head once again collided with Lokis chest as he stood in front of you again, this time slightly more towering. You continued looking at the ground.

"I am talking to you y/n." Loki spoke sternly "you'd do well to listen." Fuck, was his voice always so sultry?

"Yes." You uttered, slowly tilting your chin upwards to talk to him. His expression was cold, serious until his eyes met yours.

"Finally, you're listening." He smiled, whole demeanour shifting as he looked down at you. "Should we grab a coffee?"

You wordlessly nodded your head as if you were in some sort of trance you certainly didn't want to break out of.

"Use your words girl." He prompted. Girl? Whoever killed Loki and replaced him with this Adonis was definitely gonna get it.

"Ye—yes." You replied, following Loki as he turned to walk.

Pulling out his phone, Loki texted Thor to meet you both at the coffee place near campus but to not make it obvious that he was following you both, not that you'd notice, you were too busy gawking at Loki. He slowed his pace, matching yours, trying to bite down his smile at the fact that you were walking with him. You hadn't even brought up the other day when he was with Jorja, you just agreed to talk to him. Thor was truly useless.

Once you both arrived, you sat at a booth as Loki handed you the menu incase you wanted anything other than a coffee. You took it from him, sighing when you saw Thor walk in.

"Is this a set up, what's he doing here?" You huffed, whatever spell Loki had you under breaking.

"He's here to explain things." Loki explained, picking up your hand when he saw you roll your eyes "please listen to him."

Anything for you Loki.

"Fine." You sighed again as Thor sat next to him, opposite you. As Thor sat down, he saw you and Lokis hand connected. This is exactly what he didn't want to happen but who was he to stand between cupids arrow?

Thor began to speak, talking about how he paid a prostitute to sleep with Loki which was completely out of order by the way but you were too focused on how parched you were to even listen.

"Is anyone going to get me a coffee?" You interrupted causing a small smirk to play on Lokis lips. Meanwhile Thor paused his talking and looked at you with his brows slightly knitted in confusion. "Whatt? You said coffee and so I came." You whined, looking at Loki.

"Brother, get y/n a coffee." Loki said, gesturing for Thor to stand which he did.

"Wait!" You called after him as he started to walk off. Pausing, Thor turned to face you. "Can I have a hot chocolate instead please." You asked.

"And a cookie too?" He questioned sarcastically.

"Yes pleaseee!"
