~Loki's POV~

We finished dinner as Y/n talked asking and answering questions, I decided to remain silent throughout seeing as I wasn't very welcome here.

"Loki?" I come out of my trance and look to Y/n noticing she was finished with her conversation.

"Yes?" She glances around at everyone before back to me and leaning closer to make sure I was the only person who heard it.

"I don't really like big groups." I watched her fidget more with her hands and becoming restless so I simply just place a hand on top of hers to stop her.

"What would you like to do about it?" She shrugs.

"Are there any books here?" I hold back a smile in order to prevent the Avengers from having the satisfaction.

"Yes, most are in my room. Come on." We both stand and start to go to my room when I'm stopped.

"Loki!" I let Y/n carry on but turn to my brother.

"Yes?" He gives me an odd look.

"Where are you going?"

"To my room, Y/n wanted books to read an most of them are there. Is that a problem?" He shakes his head.

"No, it is just. Everyone was going to discuss sleeping arrangements with Y/n."

"She will be staying with me Thor, so it's all sorted. Goodnight." I turn and take my leave heading for my room, once there I enter to see her already sat with a book.

"Sorry, I found them." I close the door and make my way to the closet.

"That's alright." I begin to choose a comfier outfit to lounge and sleep in, I must admit I did prefer Midgard clothes at times.

"We didn't bring me any clothes to wear." I glance back and notice her still in the same outfit so I look into my draws and pull out a dark green t-shirt that would br quite large on her, I walk over placing it onto the bed.

"Here, you can wear this tonight." She glances at the shirt and back at me with a look.

"You are too anxious to go and ask to borrow some and I hate them so it's either that, the clothes you're wearing or you go naked. Your choice." I watch as she closes her book shut before getting up and choosing the shirt, I turn back to my clothes and start to remove what I was wearing I changed my bottoms first and then my top half but I coukd feel eyes burning holes into my back.

"I can feel you staring." The feelings gone.

"No." I put my t-shirt on before turning around to see a sight I'd never thought I'd see, there she was sat up in my bed. In my colours. In my shirt, reading.

"I can feel you staring too." I move over to my side of the bed.

"I know." I decide to get in and lay down, I was rather tired from getting no sleep the night before and I was sure I wouldn't get any tonight.

"It is different here. It's dark sooner." I hum in agreement.

"Are you tired?"

"What happened to you reading your book?" I feel her movement in the bed.

"Lost interest." She was now under the covers like I was and it wasn't difficult to tell she was watching me.

"You know it's creepy to stare at someone while they lie in bed." I feel her move and I look to see she'd rolled over, I didn't mean to have that outcome but I didn't want to push my limits either seeing as this is the first time we've actually been nice. She was curled into a ball with the duvet wrapped tightly around her, she was going to be feeling alone and uneasy being here and I did prefer if she got sleep. With doubt and disgust at myself fulling my head I moved over to where she layed and lifted the duvet slightly.

"Come on, we'll both be thankful in the morning that you got some sleep." After a few seconds she rolls right over and into my side where I let the duvet drop and ome arm rest behind her as her head lays nuzzled unto my chest, her bare legs resting half across me.

"Thanks." We lay silently for  a minute.

"I can't believe you of all people are like this behind closed doors."

"Of all people?" We both look at one another.

"You know a loner, hateful, leave me the hell alone type person. And yet your the one offering a cuddle to a girl you hate." I shake my head.

"I don't hate you it's just complicated feelings." I look away as she does too.

"Yeah right, complicated."

"It is. All I want is for this to never have happened snd for you to go away, but. Everytime I'm then around you all I want is for you to stay, for us to try. It's very confusing and I do hate that." I feel her move where she's holding herself up eye level to me.

"So you're saying that right now like this, you don't hate me?"

"I do just for different reasons." Without warning her face comes closer with her lips inches from mind and I hold my breath.

"Really? And this?" I take a breath and stay looking at her.

"I hate you a bit more but again for different reasons." We stay this way for a few seconds before she pulls back and lays back down as if nothing had just happened.

"Night." I shake my head.

"Oh no, you've toyed with the devil now. That's completely unfair and I think you don't understand the full effect of what you've just done." I roll her over and hold myself over her with a smirk.

"I didn't do anything."

"Oh really, that little act while you're wearing my t-shirt? Absolutely not."

"Loki, we're only just getting along." I nod at her words.

"Yes I know."

"How about I give you one small one and then you use our stay to prove you're not an ass." I give her a look.

"But I am an ass, that'll never change." She rolls her eyes.

"You know what I meant." I bring my head a little closer to hers watching as her breath deepens ever so slightly.

"I do. Seems like you have a deal." With that I lean down and press a light but sweet kiss to her lips before pulling away noticing her try to hide a smile.

"Sometimes I wonder if you ever hated me at all when you smile like that." I lay down properly letting her retake her position.

"Oh I hated you for sure, it's just now you're not so bad I suppose."

"It's okay I know you were attracted to me from day one, just didn't like me which is fine. We've got 5 weeks." With that we let it go and she falls asleep first and without realising I match my breathing with hers and before I knew it I actually managed to fall asleep. Maybe these 4 weeks will be a good idea.
