From being startled, Loki's head soon snaps to the side with a loud smack that causes heads to turn over towards us but I waved them off. My hand stings slightly, balling into a tight fist. I just punched a god. Loki blinks, chuckling with amusement.

"Woah wildfire, for a little thing you pack quite the punch" Loki gasps rubbing his sore jaw, his eyes dancing with amusement.

I hope it bruises, he deserve that for startling me from my reading. I want to know what happens next, Verity was literally standing at the top of the freaking stairs watching. Loki seriously needs to leave but because my decency to try to be nice, I let it off the hook for a few minutes.

"Wanna see what else I have packed in my bag?" I snapped tilting my head up at him with a sweet innocent smile, while swiftly motioning towards my bag on the ground that is filled with some knives and a pistol.

He rolls his eyes at me shaking his head letting out a sigh. He moves closer to me until we're face to face, his thighs touching against mine but for some reason like Natasha and pepper have told me that you feel sparks for someone you like but I don't feel any fireworks. Just my electricity flowing through me wanting to unalive this god.

"You know, if we're going to be friends you're going to have to learn to not hit them every time they show up" he says, brushing my fallen curl out of my face.

"Why should we be friends?"

He smirks his eyes searching mine, "Why shouldn't we be friends? I am being here for you aren't i?" He counters easily.

He moves away from the closeness to flexing his muscles through his black dress suit that I'm only noticing that he is wearing now. My mouth waters at the tight firm fitting of his suit, his arms flexing through the dress suit seeing his muscles.

I may not feel anything for the god but damn those muscles are hot - the veins though.

He stretches his legs out, his left arm going around me resting on the bench railing. "I'm awesome, amazing, little bit mischievous. Everyone would die to be my friend"

"That so?" I raised a brow watching his jaw line pop as he stares out at the Central Park lake. He hums as I tilt my head at him.

"I know so" He retorts playing with a strand of my curls behind my back, twirling it in between his fingers.

"Are you always this presumptuous?"

"Me presumptuous, never have dreamed of it princess" He remarked with a small lifted up smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What you doing here, anyways?" I questioned as he flicks a piece of hair from his eyes and I'm reminded of a young Edward Norton and JJ Field.

"Thor came to visit the avengers again and I couldn't bare the thought that you'd be so alone without my presence" He replied turning his gaze to mine on to him. "Pepper told me you were here, and I didn't want you to be alone without my awesomeness"

I laughed dryly with some hint of humour behind it while shaking my head, rolling my eyes slightly. "Such a charmer, do you always talk to girls with this much cockiness?"

He smiled shaking his head, "Only to the ones that hold no such feelings for me" he pouts as I swat his shoulder, fake sob expresses him.

"Your crazy" I laughed.

"I prefer, mischievous but that works too I guess" He replied back easily.

"I am fine being alone by myself for awhile if you want to go back to your brother"

"I'm good here thanks, princess" He answers, looking back out to the lake. I hum nodding my head before turning back to my book once again.

"Suit yourself. I'm kind of a bore"

"Not in my eyes" Loki mumbled to himself but due to being this close I heard him. I pretended I didn't hear but I could see him staring at the side of my face. My mind casually goes back into another universe within the book I am reading.

Sometime past with the comforting not so awkward silence between us two, Loki continues to play with the strand of my curled hair as I continued to read. Our eyes would catch each other's through the couple hours sitting here before it was time to go. I close my book over, while Loki stands up brushing down his black go to suit. He holds out his hand for me to take.

I look up at him, glancing to his out stretched hand as he waits for me to put my hand into his, instead of doing so. I pull his hand up and give him a high five, smiling playfully at him. He rolls his eyes but there's a hint of a smile on his face as he grabs my hand and pulls me up.

For some reason which I seriously think my mind is playing with my heart and voluntary strings, I don't pull away from his touch as he grips my hand firmly in his giant hand. We both walked peacefully out of the park, going the long way for some reason as if none of us wanted to go back home sooner.

I know for me that I don't want to go home because I know I would go up to my room and that's when the demons would unleash from their hiding spaces to unravel and torment me until I can't breathe.

"Do you like twilight?" I questioned plainly looking up at him, as I fiddle with my bookmark string dangling from my book. Loki looks down at me, shaking his head.

"How do you not like twilight?" I gasped, placing my hand on my chest as I peaked up at Loki who tower overs me with his extra eight inches to my 5'4 height.

He looks at me horrified, rubbing his temples shaking his head. "No vampire diaries is better"

I pretend to gasp again. "That's tragic. This friendship will never work" I spoke shaking my head with fake sadness as we stopped right outside the compound.

Loki looks down at me arching a brow, "So, are we friends now?"

The guard out front recognises me, giving me a small nod as he opens the door for me as I walk away from Loki but not before looking over my shoulder at him to see him watching me. His eyes never looking away from mine.

"I guess we'll have to wait and see" I smile into myself as Loki looks at me with amusement in his eyes.
