You and Loki were the best of friends. Or as he would like to put it, "you tolerated him and he didn't complain."
Ever since he'd arrived at the tower over a year ago, you've always made some sort of effort to win his attention. And you did, because honestly, not many others wanted it.
Not that he really minded. In some ways, he liked having you to himself, liked giving you all of his attention. Sure, sometimes you were loud and energetic, but you knew how to sit and listen.
Yes, as much as he tried to deny it to save his pride, he truly enjoyed your company, and knew that you reciprocated the feeling, because you expressed it both physically and verbally.
At some point in time, though, you noticed the shift in your feelings for Loki. Of course, you still loved hanging out with him, but you actually felt yourself wanting to be with and around him 24/7, daydreaming about him in bed with you, or just simply holding you close like a lover would do.
But you would never tell anyone that. Especially not him. You'd take that to your grave.
Anyways, because of the strong bond the two of you had, it was no surprise that once Loki got the all clear and the necessary training, the two of you were paired on missions together.
That's exactly what had happened today. You, Loki, and a few others were on a mission, raiding a Hydra base, opting to take it down.
The only thing is, no one expected to get ambushed.
Albeit, the signs were there, especially the deafening silence as the two of you entered the base, and then neither of you made it any better by deciding to go your separate ways to clear more area at one time.
Then you got grabbed. You were quick enough to get out of it and knock the agent down, but then more of them quickly swarmed in, blocking your escape from all directions.
"Uh, we have a bit of a problem," you murmured into your earpiece, one of your hands slowly trailing towards your belt to grab one of your pocketknives. "There's about-" you stopped to take a quick count. "11 guys surrounding me."
Steve's earpiece crackles as he turns it back on to speak. "Hold them off for now; Loki, get in there, quick."
"I'm a bit...tied up at the moment," Loki explains, his grunts and the sounds his daggers making their way through people loud and clear. "Give me a moment, darling."
"A moment is what I barely have!" You hiss, eyeing the people surrounding you and deciding to just go for it, lunging at one of them.
When you move, they all start firing their rifles in rapid succession, and by some sort of luck, you manage to dodge them all, sometimes by a long shot, and sometimes, you barely miss the mark.
11 to 1 was not fair game, you concluded in your head as you turned on your heel and knocked one's rifle out of their hands, successfully disarming him and sending him to the floor with a thud.
You swooped down and grabbed the abandoned gun off the ground, beginning to fire in rapid succession as a distraction and knocking out the agent nearest to you with the butt of the rifle, before running down a hall with the small path you'd cleared.
"Please tell me your moment's over," you heaved into the earpiece as you turned a corner, being followed by the remaining agents.
"Unfortunately, I'm not as close as I'd like to be," Loki grumbles. "Where are you?"
"I'm in..." you took a brief glance at the sign you pass overhead. "Sector B! Wherever that is!"
You go to say something else, but yelp as two of the remaining 9 agents catch up to you, grabbing ahold of you by the arms and slamming you onto the groan. You groan in pain, but have no choice but to quickly recover and kick one of them directly in the kneecap, snagging the knife out of your belt to stab the other one in the upper thigh.
