Loki's Lover

Chapter 17.

Y/n POV:

After my much needed relaxing shower I left my bathroom and got dressed into some comfortable track suit pants and a soft green sweater. I tied my hair up in a bun and slid on my slippers before leaving my room. As I left my room Loki also happened to be exiting his room at the exact same time. He looked up at me surprised then a pleased look crossed his face,
"Good evening darling" he said whilst studying me from head to toe as I approached him. He was wearing grey sweatpants and a dark green hoodie.
"Good evening lokes" I smiled,
"You enjoyed your shower?" Loki said softly,
"After scrubbing off some stubborn sand yes, yes I did" I giggled making loki chuckle,
"I have to admit, now this might shock you but I'm not much of a beach person" he grinned,
"Oh me oh my! how I had no idea" I laughed playing along with his silliness.
"But you my love changed the way I look at the beach, you made my day very enjoyable" loki said looking bashful,
"Awwww are you blushing?" I teased whilst poking his slightly tinted cheeks,
"No" Loki said whilst turning away from me to hide his face from view,
"How come you can see me blush yet I can't see you" I teased whilst laughing,
"Because you look cute when you do it" Loki said after recomposing himself.
"No I don't, I look like a tomato" I giggled,
"Not to me you don't" Loki said softly.
I looked up into those deep emerald eyes and found myself at a loss for words, like earlier today his eyes darted down to my lips and I froze. Is he going to kiss me for real?
I leaned forward ever so lightly as Loki began to close the gap between us. Just as our chests were brushing against one another's and our lips were centimetres apart,
"GUYS PIZZAS HERE!" I heard Tony shout.
I snapped out of my daze and jumped away from Loki, like a toddler being caught doing something there not supposed to. I blushed and didn't dare look at Loki as I began speed walking to the kitchen with him right behind me. I wasn't going to look back but I could feel his smirk searing through the back of my head which made me blush even more. We entered the kitchen to find Bruce serving the pizzas and everyone gathering around the TV.
"Hey y/n you okay?" Cap asked,
"Yeah you look a bit red in the face" Tony said worriedly,
"Guys I'm probably just sunburnt" I said soothingly to ease their worries, and to hide the fact the the reason my face was so red was  because I was mear seconds away from kissing the God of mischief.

We all ate our pizza and everybody else left to go shower and rest their sunburnt and tired bodies after a days fun in the sun.
Once it was just me and Loki left in the living room I changed the TV station to a different station. It just so happens one of my favourite stand up comedians was on so I decided to watch them.
"My love" Loki said patting the space beside him, noticing that we were on seperate couches. I smiled at went and sat directly beside Loki, our legs brushing and upper body's side by side. Loki didn't question what I had decided to put on TV or when I began putting my feet up and lying down beside him.
Eventually, Loki had his legs spread out and had me laid me on top of him with both of us still facing the TV. I pretended to be to focused on the TV to notice the romantic position we were currently in but smiled internally nevertheless.
A little while later I find myself completely on top of Loki, using him as a pillow. His long legs tangled with mine, my head laid upon his chest and my arms snaked around his waist. Neither of us said anything or acknowledged what was happen wing but we just let it unfold. After I regained my focus to the TV, I couldn't help little bursts of laughter that escaped me when a funny joke was said. I didn't notice but Loki had shifted his attention from the TV to me, and was watching my face as I laughed and enjoyed the show. After a while I attempted to stand up to go and get a drink,
"Where do you think you are going?" Loki mumbled whilst tightening his grip on me,
"I'm thirsty" I laughed whilst trying to detach his strong hand from around me, Loki smirked and held me tighter. I huffed and then an idea popped into my head, I smirked evilly.
"Pretty boy" I purred whilst running my hands through his hair. Loki instantly loosened his grip and looked like he was in heaven, he leaned back and closed his eyes in pure joy as I ran my hands through his jet black locks. I smiled finding his weak spot and took my chance to jump off of him and take 4 massive steps back from the couch. As soon as my hands left his hair his eyes snapped open angrily and he growled, he reached for me whilst still lying down but I quickly dashed to the kitchen. I quickly grabbed a glass cup and filled it with water before chugging back the liquid. As I re-entered the living room, Loki was still lying down but with his arms crossed over his chest and a frown/pout, looking like a kicked grumpy puppy. I sheepishly walked back over to the couch and when I was close enough he pulled me back into our previous lying down position we we're in before as his frown washed from his face and was replaced with a satisfied smile. With his arms tight but comfortable around my waist, I set my chin on his chest and looked up at him through my eyelashes. I began studying his face, admiring his sharp jawline and emerald green eyes. He obviously felt my burning stare and looked down at me, wearing another smirk. I blushed and turned my head on it's side, looking back at the TV listening to his steady heartbeat. I felt Loki's big hands drift from my waist to my chin and angled my face up to look at him but I kept my eyes glued to the TV, not daring to look at him.
"Darling?" He said softly, easy enough to grab my attention,
"Yes lokes?" I said, staring up into those eyes of his,
"Can you do the thing you did before?" Loki said with a slight blush,
"You mean play with you hair?" I smiled,
"Yes" Loki said softly, letting his tough guy walls down and letting me play with his shoulder length hair.
With gentle hands, I reached my hands up to run my fingers through his hair just like I did before making him groan in pure ecstasy with his eyes closed.
"I finally found your weak spot" I giggled whilst  beginning to create a small plait,
"You better have no intention of stopping" Loki grunted whilst returning his arms around me. I laughed and Loki smiled and we spent the rest of the night watching movies and braiding Loki's hair.
