Avenger's One-shots and Preferences

Self-hate-Loki

This is another idea I've been sitting on for awhile. It's inspired from an episode from Teen Titans (the quality original series not the crappy reboot), I have a clip from that episode if you're interested.
So the reader in this one is Sam's cousin (her skin tone is slight shade darker than Sam's), which makes this a POC one-shot.
Also it's sorta like an AU where Thor is king of Asgard and Ragnarok did not happen. The basic plot is some dignitaries visit Asgard from another realm, and they discriminate against Loki when they realize he's a frost giant. When he returns to Earth, reader, who is in a relationship with Loki, finds out and she can relate to what Loki is feeling.
Drama, some racial related angst, some fluff.

(R/S)- racial slur (I'm highly uncomfortable with racial slurs in real life so I won't be making up any for frost giants)

"Hmmmm," you say to yourself as you scan around the facility looking for any of your teammates, one of them being your cousin Sam Wilson, and the other being your boyfriend Loki. You already knew though Loki was with Thor in Asgard, having left three weeks ago to attend to matters in ruling an entire realm.

"Nobodies here," you conclude after checking with Friday for any signs of life in the compound, "Which means I actually have the whole place to myself; that's a first." With this realization, you knew the number of things you could do in this entire building were endless: you could dance around in your underwear, you could skinny dip in the pool, you could watch an X-rated film in the screening room and not worry about anyone barging in.

However, despite having all this space to yourself, you decided to settle for a relaxing hot bath in your tub. You head to your bathroom with candles, wine, and a box of chocolate Loki gave you from your last date night before he left.

As you contently relaxed in the hot water, you couldn't help but contemplate events from the last 3-4 weeks; the back-to-back missions you successfully completed with the team, Steve pushing the team to the limit with his relentless training regiments, Sam convincing you to volunteer with serving dinner for veterans at the local Baptist church you and him attend on occasion, and the occasional pining for your personal bed warmer...or bed cooler since your boyfriend is part frost giant.

As your thoughts lingered to Loki, however, you experienced a flashback from the morning before he left for Asgard.

-------flashback-------

You shifted about a little as the rays of light from the morning sun hit your closed eyes. You stretch a hand, half-expecting Loki to still  be sleeping. You open your eyes when your hand didn't make contact with his cool skin; sure enough, his side of the bed was empty.

"Loki? Baby?" you speak up, as your eyes scan your shared bedroom. The sounds of running water from the bathroom told you he was taking a shower.

After laying in bed for a few more lazy minutes, you begrudgingly sit up and make ready to start the day. You enter the bathroom to wash your face and manage your (h/l) hair. 

"Is that you my ravishing beauty?" Loki calls from the shower as the water stops running. "Of course, sweetie" you reply, giggling a little from the pet name he gave you, "Just working on my hair."

Loki stepped out of the shower, towel wrapped around his waist. "how does it look so far?" you inquire, showing your boyfriend what you've done with you hair so far. "Beautiful as always, darling," he complements, "Maybe you should do something like that for me." "We'll see" you laugh a little, knowing a venture like that may not end well, "Maybe once I'm finish up here, I can work on something for you." "Actually (y/n), that may have to wait, I must accompany Thor to Asgard today, remember?"
