-Your Pov-

You had been awake for hours staring blankly at the ceiling above you from the spot inside your bed. Ever since you and Loki had started dating he had abandoned his villainous ways and mindset. He had even started working alongside the avengers with shield breathing down his neck of course. Everyone always commended you for "changing him" or helping him be more tolerable since now he was more of a trickster than a tyrant. But the truth was you were the one who needed fixing or honestly needed Loki. He was always helping you with your social anxiety, panic attacks, and your crippling fear of going out in public. He knew about your extensive past of self medicating when you were a teen and even though he was extremely busy often. He somehow found a way to always be by your side when you needed him. You depended on him for a lot of things whether it was him going to the store for you because you weren't feeling up to it. Or him ordering food for you at restaurants so you didn't have to make a decision and voice it .

Regardless, Loki's love, support, and encouragement helped you step out of your comfort zone by going to new places, trying new things, even by making you feel more powerful by yourself. Even on a bad day there was the knowledge that it would get better. Or that you were strong enough to handle it without depending on someone all the time. For the most part you could calm yourself down in low stress situations but there was no shame in asking for help when you needed it.

 Loki had recently suggested you stay with him at the Stark tower with the rest of the avengers so you wouldn't stay alone. As great as that would be and you did really love the avengers like family but you didn't think you could be around that many people all the time.You needed and loved your space. Loki was the only one who knew about your problems and you wanted to keep it like that. You didn't want to have one of your "bad days" around one of them and then have to explain yourself. Talks like that stick with people and they would forever treat you differently. Rather than put yourself through that you opted to stay in your apartment that was close enough to everyone as is.

You had been suffering with an awful toothache for about a month at this point. As much as it pained you to do it you had finally called and made an appointment at the dentist. In anticipation for that appointment at 10:30 you hadn't slept all night thinking about it. You would have to get up soon but you didn't want to even move an inch out of bed.
