"I still can't believe that you notice me
An ocean away, the heavens would say
It was meant to be
I'll never forget, the first time I saw you there
Primrose at 3, you had all of me
Without saying a word."

Loki sat in the library reading away, when he heard the familiar angelic voice of an agent he knew all too well. He smiled sweetly as he closed his book and began to listen to y/n sing. Loki was aware that she was shy to sing in front of others, and so y/n would resort to singing elsewhere. In the kitchen alone, in the shower, on her balcony, of course thinking no one would hear her. Unbeknownst to y/n, Loki was always listening. He was by far enchanted by her beautiful voice that he would even use his magic to make himself invisible so that he can silently watch her sing. It warmed his heart to see how she lit up whenever she sang, whether it be a sad song or one in a completely different language. Loki slowly but surely began developing feeling for y/n. It wasn't just her incredible voice, but her character. Her serious and no-nonsense attitude during missions was a complete 180 to her loving and charismatic persona he was more accustomed to. She made him feel comfortable and accepted when he joined the Avengers to try and redeem himself.

As he listened to y/n sing, the lyrics caught Loki's attention.

"I don't recognize myself
I'm dancing down streets,
Smiling to strangers, idiotic things
I trace it all back, 3:30 am
That night, something turned in my heart
While you were sleeping I fell in love."

It was clear that it was a love song and Loki knew he was maybe reading too much into it, but was she singing about someone? His previous smile slowly dropped as he furrowed his brows in deep thought.

What if she... No, no. But she might be...

Loki placed his book down and made his way to your room to listen better. By the time he got to your door, your singing had reduced to light humming and then transitioned to another song. Loki leaned into the door and listened:

"One more kiss, wine stain lips
I don't want to go to sleep yet
Pale moonlight, misty eyes
I'll allow myself to have him just tonight
I hold on to every once of sin..."

The singing grew closer.

"... I know he don't love me quite like I love him
I swear to myself as he leaves at dawn... "

And it grew closer...

"... This will end, till he haunts me... "

Then, the door opened. Loki almost fell forward but maneged to pull himself back up as y/n jumped back in shock. Loki was the first one to break the silence as he let out a awkward laugh.

"I-umm... I was just- I... Hello, firstly, uhh..."

"Were you, eavesdropping on me?"

Loki turned red in the face. "No! No, I would never... I- I mean... Ok yes, yes I was. And I would prefer the term listening, instead."

Y/n squinted her eyes at him, not quite buying his story. Despite being shy, y/n was always scared and anxious of how others would react to her singing and the feedback she would get.

Unimpressed by Loki, she scoffed." Right, sure." Y/n began to close the door, but Loki stuck his foot in the way. She looked up at him with a raised brow.

"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to invade your privacy like this but... Your voice, it's the most alluring thing I've ever heard."

Y/n's eyes widened in surprise. She had never received a compliment like that before.

"I must confess, I've been listening to you for the longest time. In fact, I always listen to you. It's hard not to really. You have the most beautiful voice of any mortal I've come across, and you're just a fascinating person... You're great, and I adore you and lik-" Loki stopped mid sentence before he could expose himself any further. Y/n had already began blushing and her eyes grew even wider at Loki's sudden confession.

Sweet mother of Frigga, what have I done!?

"I-I should go..." Loki said as he backed away from the door and began to walk away. Y/n called out to him. "Loki, wait!"

He stopped in his tracks and turned to face her. They both now stood outside her door in the hallway.

"Did you really mean all those things you just said?"

Loki softly smiled. "Of course I did, every single word came straight from the heart."

Y/n bit her lip to suppress her smile and approached him. "Even the last part?" she asked as she looked up at him.

Loki couldn't help but laugh. "Yes darling, especially the last part." he confessed as he looked into her mesmerizing e/c eyes.

Thats all y/n needed to hear as she stood on her tippy toes and gave Loki a soft peck on the lips . After she pulled away, Loki stared back at her in disbelief as she just giggled at his reaction. He pulled her back in and caressed her cheek as he kissed her passionate. He held her close to him as they savored the moment they had both been waiting for.

" You..." y/n said as they pulled way for air. Loki looked at her with confusion.

"I was singing about you. I've liked you since the first mission we went on together. When you assisted me with my injuries and made me tea, I just knew. My feelings for you had grown since then."

loki, still holding onto you, couldn't help but chuckle. "I've liked you since the day you helped me prank Thor last Hallows Eve, then I heard you sing on the rooftop."

The both laughed as they reminisced on the event and gazed lovingly into each other's eyes.

"You know, the biggest clue of me liking you is if you actually googled the lyrics."

"Oh? How so?"

Y/n grinned. "The artists name is Laufey. Sound familiar, Mischief?"

Loki couldn't help but laugh wholeheartedly and give y/n a loving kiss on the forehead.

"How subtle, my songbird."

A/N

This one-shot was inspired by Laufey. If you don't know her... You have been living under a rock lol 😂. She's a jazz artist that blow up recently. Her music is amazing and I've been listening none stop to her new album 'Bewitched' and the songs 'While You Were Sleeping' and 'Haunted' are the lyrics used in this short story.

I hope y'all like it. Side note: this is the second one so far and I'm pretty sure some of you can tell I don't know how to really end off my stories 👀😅 I'll get the hang of it eventually.

Xoxo - Yolo
