Being an avenger came with it's highs and lows, one of the highs is that you make amazing friends along the way.

Loki Laufeyson, god of mischief and lies. He's always lurking around in the dark, or with his nose in a book perched somewhere like a cat. But we've become close friends. The introverted god with an extrovert Midgardian. It's not exactly what you would expect.

I sat next to him on his bed, his eyes were trained on the words of his book, I peeked over his shoulder to get a peek at what he was reading but he snapped it shut before my eyes could read the first word

"What are you doing?" he asked unamused, I quirked an eyebrow at him and snickered

"I'm bored... let's watch a movie," I suggested, he looked at me with a look that I couldn't quite place. "I mean, if you want to..."

"How about later tonight? I need to go do something with Thor and then I will join you. Okay?" he said getting up, I frowned a little and nodded

"Alright, I'll see you a little later then." I said, I jumped out of his bed and walked out of the room, going to do a few things to take up my time.

Fast forward.

It was nighttime and everybody was in the living room. Loki and Thor were still nowhere to be seen. Instead of worrying about the brothers, the whole team decided to have a Disney movie marathon... it was going lovely and there were times where the movie turned into karaoke... we watched the princess and the frog and then Brave, currently watching Frozen but half of the group either left or fell asleep.

I stood up to call it a night, I found a throw blanket and tucked in Steve and Nat, who fell asleep on Steve's shoulder. I made my way to the kitchen to grab water and a snack.

Walking back to my room I couldn't help but feel disappointed... it wasn't the first time that Loki bailed on me; it had become a daily occurrence. Normally every Saturday night we would meet up to read in the library or up on the roof. Now we dont do it anymore. We used to hang out multiple times a day, but it went down to only being a few times to hardly any.

I wonder if I did something that maybe upset him...

I laid down on my bed and enjoyed the somewhat quietness, the bustling traffic of New York continuing to sing its melody in the air. I checked the time to see it was a little pass midnight, getting a little worried about the gods. That's when I heard a small knock at my door, I got up and opened it. Revealing a nervous looking Loki

"Hello Darling," he whispered, I didn't know whether to feel relieved that he was alright or feel upset about him bailing "I know, I'm sorry... I didnt mean for it to take as long as it did, Thor and his idiotic self, got us stranded in the middle of nowhere..."

"And you got back, how?" I asked, still a little upset

"I teleported... I left him there for a while to teach him a lesson... don't worry, I went back for him." he explained, I relaxed a little and opened my door wider for him, he smiled and walked in, taking a seat on the edge of my bed, I stood in front of him and just watched for a moment as he fiddled with his fingers

"Did I do something to hurt our friendship?" I asked, he flinched at my words which made me further believe I did something.

"Darling..." he sighed, he stood up and gently took my hands in his and softly rubbing his thumb over my knuckles "You didnt do anything. It's more me than you..."

"No conversation ends well with those words..." I said, my eyes prickling with tears, I felt pathetic that I was being so emotional and for no reason

"I like you y/n. More than a friend. You've made my life so much better; I swear you couldn't do anything to make me dislike you. That's why I've been... avoiding you. Not because I didn't want to be your friend, but because I wanted to be more and I was scared that would scare you away" he told me, I felt my hear seize in my chest, I didn't know how to feel about those words that came out of his mouth, he had a sheepish smile and his cheeks seemed to have a pinkish tint to them "Please say something I dont like how silent it is right now."

"I don't know what to say Loki. This is just wow." I chuckled nervously, he gently let go of my hands, his own hands falling to his side and dipping into his pockets, his shoulders tensed up slightly and he averted his eyes. I sighed softly and put my hands on his shoulders "Give me a bit to think over this, we can watch a movie and when its done, I'll tell you what I think about this, okay?"

"Sure. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable in any way." He told me, I smiled and shook my head and grabbing his arm and making him sit back down on my bed. I shifted through the movies absentmindedly, pausing when I heard him speak up "What's that one about?"

He asked pointing at the Lion king, I put it on and laid for back on my bed, staring at him and giving him a cheeky smirk "You'll like it."

A few minutes had passed and it was at the scene where Mufasa was on the edge of the cliff, his brother scar holding onto his paws

"Help him! I swear to the Norns if he dies I'm leaving." Loki said jumping up, he was at the very edge of the bed, watching the screen attentively. I chuckled, feeling tears prick my eyes at the upcoming scene

"Long live the king..." Scar said, letting Mufasa fall into the stampede. Loki jumped up from the bed with his arms wide out and his mouth wide open, I laughed quietly while wiping my tears, Simba was crying at his dads corpse, scar telling him to run away and never come back. Loki slowly turned around, his arms falling to his side and his eyes watery

"Why would you put this on?" he asked, his voice quivering. I smiled at him, my own lip trembling

"It has a beautiful message through the movie and I wanted to see your reaction to this scene." I admitted, sitting up in my spot. I patted the spot next to me on the bed, urging him to come sit by me, he sat down and leaned against the bedhead. We continued watching the film for a while before I felt my eyes get heavy, leaning a little to the side, my head dropping onto Loki's shoulder, my eyes shut and I was on the verge of a soundless sleep, I felt Loki move me gently, now holding me to his chest as he gently rubbed my back. I heard him whisper something, thinking I was asleep and couldn't hear him

"I dont care if we stay friends, as long as I'm with you, it makes me happy." He said softly, I felt him kiss my head gently, making me smile against him

"I've had feelings for you too Loki. I wouldn't mind if we became something more." I said, lifting my head to look at him properly, he grinned down at me and gently cupped my cheek, his eyes averting from my eyes to my lips, I leaned forward and captured his lips in mine, enjoying the cool contrast of his skin against the warmth of mine. We pulled apart for air and smiled at each other. This is where I hope to spend the rest of my days, in his arms and him in mine.
