Love In Odd Places (Steve Rogers x Loki) (BoyxBoy)

And They Call Me Silver Tongue (Explicit)

  I leaned against the side of the cave, staring out at the captain who hadn't moved from his spot since he fell to the ground. I was angry. So angry at him.

How dare he come here and try to make me a fool.

There was nothing for him to explain. He said everything that needed to be said back at the apartment. Even if he didn't mean it, words said in anger still hold some truth. I didn't want to admit that he hurt me, because he didn't. He just...angered me. His words were untrue. I didn't like being alone, I was isolated against my will, yet I had learned to enjoy it. Simply because that isolation made it so I didn't really know how to interact with others. I learned to become content with solace.

I looked back at the Captain, who still hadn't moved. He remained on his knees, looking lost and alone. My heart yearned for him, yearned to go and wrap my arms around him and comfort him.

No!

It was all an act. I was unaware with how well of an actor he could be, yet now that I think about it I should have known. Back before the Captain officially joined the war, he was and actor in a way. He did a performance every night for people to sell war bonds and eventually got good at that job. Therefore, it would only make sense that he be an excellent actor. Yet I would never have guessed that he'd be able to fool me.

I took one last look at the man before turning and walking further into the cave. I needed to get away from him before the sight of him draws me back. His voice followed me as he continued calling my name, but I ignored it. I need to get away from him.

I got to my makeshift home and could still hear his voice, it was like I couldn't get away. He was haunting me.

I shook my head as I laid down on my bed and grabbed one of my books, hoping to block out his calls. When will he stop and just go away!

I was starting to get frustrated as I couldn't get absorbed into my book. I growled and stood up before walking to the mouth of the cave.

The captain was still there on his knees calling for me, and it made my anger boil.

"Will you knock it off," I growled.

He looked up at me before getting to his feet. "I won't leave until you talk to me."

I crossed my arms across my chest and looked away from him, "There's nothing to talk about. Now just go away."

His voice was pleading as he said, "Please, Loki, just let me explain what happened."

"There is nothing to explain, Captain, like I said earlier. I know what happened. I know what you said. You chose Clint and Natasha over me and it was foolish of me to think that you would do otherwise. So, I will remove myself from the situation so that you can run to your friends and beg for their forgiveness."

"That's not what happened, Loki. Please, just let me come in so we can discuss this."

I shook my head and groaned, "Why won't you just leave me alone?"

"Because I love you and I don't want to lose you." He sounded so honest, but I knew better.

"Stop telling lies! You do not love me! You do not care about me! You only pretend to so that you can control me. You only let me stay with you because Thor asked you."

"That was at first. It's different now. I do love you, Loki, please believe me."

I gave a short humorless laugh, "Why should I believe you, Captain?"

He slowly approached the barrier I had put up and placed a hand against it. "Let me come in and talk."

The more I stood here talking to him, the more I wanted to let him in. I do not know how he does it, but my heart started to hurt the longer I was away from him. Why was it so hard to keep him out of my head, out of my heart?
