Loki x (Mostly) Male Reader Collection

Bookworm (Loki x Male Ace!Reader) Pt 2

It had been a few months living in Stark tower. Every now and then Tony would send you and Loki to art galleries, where Loki would watch you gush over art and criticise some of them as well. He'd notice the way you scrunched up your nose when making a hard decision, and the way you snapped your fingers when you were thinking of something. He fell in love with the way your eyes lit up when reading a good book. 

You'd been in your bedroom all day, and Loki was honestly getting worried. Was he good enough for you? Would you date a monster like him? The questions raced through his mind as he clutched the bouquet of azaleas. He knew how much you enjoyed reading Rebecca all those months ago, since he listened to you talking about the book almost constantly for a week. He remembered that azaleas were mentioned in the book multiple times and decided that would be the best gift. Loki hesitated before knocking on your door. But he did it anyway. 

"Come in," you said. The door opened and your eyes were still on the painting you were doing. "Remember to take your shoes off before getting on the carpet," you reminded. Loki did and walked in to see you painting. He also noticed his helmet was on your desk. You kept glancing at the painting and the helmet. Loki cleared his throat and you jumped. "Oh, hey Loki, I thought you were Tony," you said as you looked up at him, scrambling to cover the painting. Loki didn't notice the painting but noticed the bags under your eyes and the black, grey, and white paint all over your arms and... face? "I fell asleep on my... art for 30 minutes," you explained as he looked at you with confusion. 

"I see," Loki said. He shuffled with his arms behind his back and you noticed he was holding something. "(y/n), I came in here to tell you something," Loki started. He shakily took out the bouquet and your breath caught in your throat. "Over these past few months, I have found myself falling more and more in love with you," Loki said. "I didn't even know I could honestly fall in love with a mortal," Loki chuckled. "But..." Loki promptly licked his lips. "I know... that I fell in love with you, (y/n)." 

You were speechless and your face turned a tomato red. "Holy shit," you breathed. You steadily rose from your chair and walked towards Loki. Taking the azaleas from his hands, you set them next to his helmet. 

"(y/n)-" Loki was then cut off as you pressed a finger to his lips. You hovered closer to him and could feel the heat. Loki, being impatient, closed the gap between you and kissed you softly. You wrapped your arms around his waist to pull him closer and he wrapped his arms around your neck. The kiss lasted for a full 30 seconds before Loki pulled away. 

"I love you too," you replied. You picked up the azaleas again and pulled a few out. You began twisting the stems together and made a flower crown, placing it on Loki. 

"Hey, lovebirds," Tony's voice echoed on the intercom. "You both gotta go to an art gallery today so get dressed in some nice clothes," Tony said. "I'll be waiting in the lobby since I'm going as well." 

"Ugh," you said before grabbing a vase to put the azaleas in. Loki finally asked the question you'd been dreading. 

"Why is my helmet in here exactly?" Loki asked. 

"Uh... I'm just borrowing it for reference...?" you answered. "You'll get it back in two days probably," you said. "Now, shoo, I have to take a shower to get all this paint off," you said to Loki. He smiled at you and left.

"So you finally got together?" Tony smirked as you and Loki walked in. You were wearing a black suit with a gold tie, while Loki had the outfit he wore at Stuttgart. You stuck your tongue out at Tony.
