It was the impending kiss that was causing my heart to race as I walked up to the part of the set where I will have my first kiss.

Dressed in my character's costume, I took a deep breath in and walked onto the impressive, high-tech set that was designed to mimic the amazing Stark Tower.

My steps echoed on the pristine floors, and I couldn't help but be in awe of the craftsmanship that had gone into creating the world of the Avengers.

As I approached the scene, I saw Tom Hiddleston standing there, impeccably dressed as Loki. His charismatic presence was even more captivating in person, and it made my heart skip a beat. The entire crew watched in anticipation as they prepared for the upcoming scene.

I tried my best to shake off my wrecking nerves as I focused on my character's motivation. In the script my character, Sky Stark, has to distract Loki to save the day, and I knew that my performance has to be flawless.

I greeted everyone on set and went to the position where I had to stand. Tom, aka Loki, came up to me, gave me a gentle hug and whispered, that I can do that and that he is always there for me, in my ear. As the cameras rolled, the tension on set grew almost unbearable, and everyone around me knew that the moment of truth had arrived.

With the perfect timing and an air of confidence, I stepped forward, my eyes locked onto Loki's. As our lips were about to meet, my nerves got the best of me, and a nervous giggle escaped her lips. The scene had to be cut, and the director called for another take.

With cameras and crew all around, I again felt a nervous energy coursing through me. Even though Tom and I had gone through the motions and lines several times, my heart was racing and my palms were clammy.

Tom, ever the gentleman, smiled at her reassuringly. "Izzy, you've got this. I promise it'll be great. Just relax, and let's take it from the top."

I slowly nodded, still a bit unsure and took a deep breath to steady herself. They began the scene once more, and as the lines flowed naturally, their faces drew closer. It was the moment I had been dreading, yet anticipating.

As our lips inched closer, I hesitated again, my eyes meeting Tom's. I felt a warm flush spread through her cheeks. "I'm sorry, I can't " I whispered shyly, embarrassed by my repeated hesitations.

Tom chuckled, his green eyes sparkling. "No need to be sorry, Izzy. We've got all the time in the world. Let's try it again."

After several failed attempts, Tom, who had maintained his composure throughout, decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with me between takes. We retreated to a quiet corner of the set, away from the watchful eyes of the crew.

"Hey, it's just acting," Tom said softly, his voice filled with sincerity. "Think of it as a dance, a passionate tango between our characters. Forget about the cameras and the crew. It's just you and me in this moment."

I nodded, my anxiety slowly dissipating. Tom's words were reassuring, and he had a way of making me feel comfortable and safe on set. I took a deep breath and steeled herself for another take.

When we returned to the scene, I felt a newfound confidence. I locked eyes with Tom, and this time, as our lips whet about to meet, I didn't stop. there was an undeniable chemistry between them. I felt like I was floating in mid-air, wrapped in a whirlwind of emotions. The kiss was everything I could have ever imagined, and more. It was passionate, sweet, and filled with the kind of magic only Loki could bring. It was also passionate, filled with the intensity of the characters and the actors portraying them.

As they pulled away we both looked deep into each others eyes. Our characters lost in a world of enchantment, I couldn't help but smile. "Tom, that was amazing."

Tom grinned, his eyes still locked onto hers. "You were amazing, too, Izzy. I told you we'd get there." And with a quiet whisper he added "I hope you liked your first kiss"

I smiled so big that it started to hurt. I hugged him as tight as I could, feeling the adrenaline rushing through my body and cheered "Yes it was amazing, I-I mean you are amazing".

The crew erupted in applause, and the director gave us both thumbs up. It was a wrap for the day, and I couldn't have been happier. I had kissed Tom Hiddleston as Loki, and it had been nothing sort of enchanting. It was my perfect first kiss.

The scene was perfect, and the director knew it. The tension that had filled the set before was replaced with cheers and applause from the crew. The Avengers set had witnessed a memorable moment, and I had overcome her nerves to deliver a kiss filled with passion.

As they wrapped up the scene, Tom and I are allowed to see what's they had filmed. I was stunned because it looks so real and filled with passion as it felt like for me.

Tom his head away from the monitor, towards me and said, "You were incredible, Izzy. Sometimes, it takes a few tries to find the magic, but we found it together."

I smiled, grateful for the encouragement and guidance I had received from a seasoned actor like Tom Hiddleston. When we locked eyes again we both knew that this moment marked a significant moment, that we would never forget.
