TWO — CUT TO THE FEELING
requested by -thunderfingers

GROWING UP WITH Loki and Thor was the reason for your love of magic and spells. You and Loki were the closest among the three of you and it was obvious. The two of you would sneak out over night and practiced spells with one another, look at the beautiful kingdom light up the night skies, tell each other secrets and fears, talk about life without the royalty, and so on. Over time, you began to develop feelings for the dark haired prince. It wasn't his beautiful face, his hair, his muscles, or his powers. It was his heart that made you fall in love. Although he tried not to show it, he truly cared for those around him.

The battle on Asgard had just ended. You were able to escape with the Asgardians, Thor, Bruce Banner, and Loki. You were grateful to be side-by-side with your best friends. The ones who you grew up with and never left your side. Even now, just as you were all resting with your victory, you were now being attacked again. Thor was quick to action; he ordered all the women, children, and disabled to escape while the fighters would stay and defend the ship. Of course, you were one to stay and fight with your best friends and people.

Loki shook his head immediately, "No I will not allow this. You must leave with the others, [Y/N]." Loki tried leading you to the crowds escaping making you laugh lightly at his concern.

You shook your head, "Loki I will not be leaving your side. You and I both know that I will always be with you until the day I die."

Loki stared at you with concern, he opened his mouth to say something but the ship got hit with an energy blast. The ship shook violently making you lose your balance. Loki swiftly grabbed a hold of you and looked into your eyes, "If you get hurt..."

"Don't worry," You smiled. "I'll be fine. I was taught by the best." You smirked up at him, referring back to your late night magic practice sessions.

He gave you a small smile then let you go. He helped the rest of the crowds escape before heading back to fight with the soldiers and Thor. You looked over at your people and mentally prepared yourselves for another war.

You thought that being with your most powerful friends you would win without a doubt. This was different, these intruders were powerful. You stared in fear at the infinity stone he possessed. He called himself Thanos. He said he was going to save the universe. He only needed the tesseract.

You laughed as your body shook in the tight chains holding onto you. Everyone looked over at you as Thor began to speak, "The stone was destroyed along with Asgard."

Thanos shook his head with a laugh, as he walked over to you. You yelled in pain as he pulled your hair back, an infinity stone pressed onto your temple.

"It's her or the stone," Thanos declares as he glared up at Loki. "Choose wisely."

Loki was silent, not knowing what to do. You grunted, "It was destroyed!"

You saw the stone light up from Thanos's gauntlet and a searing pain overpowering your body. You screeched in pain and tried to wiggle out of the chains. You cried out as Loki, Thor, and Heimdall stared in concern.

"Stop!" Loki shouted in anger. He felt his heart ache seeing you in pain.

You managed to break free and pushed the stone away from you. Thanos gripped onto your arm before you can try anything else. Thanos then turned his head over to Loki with curiosity. Loki sighed and lifted his hand up, the tesseract coming into view.

"You really are the worst brother..." Thor sighed.

You looked in confusion. You felt betrayed knowing Loki kept this secret from you. Before you could say a word, you were thrown across the area by Thanos. It was as if you were a rag doll to him. You yelled in surprise and fell into a pile of scraps. You looked up seeing Thanos take the other infinity stone and connect it into his gauntlet. You groaned as you heard Hulk fighting Thanos.

Before any more damage was done, soft whispers escaped your mouth as you began to recite spells. Each spell slowly began to hold down the intruders and helped your friends escape from the restraints. You continued to recite the spells while your group gathered together to escape. Thanos and his people were grunting and struggled to release from your magic.

Heimdall groaned as he stumbled over to you, Thor, Loki, and Bruce. He used his powers to bring you all to safety. A blinding light consumed your groups visions and were transported to Earth. Once arrived, you were met with the man who calls himself Dr. Strange. Thor and Heimdall began to explain the trouble Earth will soon receive as you tried to treat your wounds on the side of the room.

You managed to heal some of your wounds with your spells but you weren't taught to completely take them away yet. You breathed out and started to wonder around the building as Bruce went to find Tony. Loki had sat on the bench on the side of the room. You looked over and noticed the distress radiating off of him. You walked over and stared down at him.

"Is this seat taken?" You whispered as you motioned to the empty part of the seat.

Loki looked up silently, he sighed and shook his head. He moved over to make more space for you. You nodded and sat down next to him. You decided not to talk, knowing that the silence would help get his thoughts together. He was fidgeting with his fingers as you stared at his body movements.

"[Y/N]," Loki sighed after a moment of silence. He didn't want to look at you, guilt clouding his emotions. "I just wanted to say I didn't take the tesseract for the power. I didn't take it to make Thor furious." Loki sighed as he looked up at you. "I took it to protect everyone. That infinity stone was my only chance to protect the people I love, to protect-" He cut himself off and looked back to the ground.

You furrowed your eyebrows, "Protect who?"

Loki looked up slowly. His heart was racing a million miles an hour, seeing your face. He reached over and moved a strand of your hair behind your ear. His hand cupped your cheek, "To protect you."

You gave a bright smile at Loki. Your heart fluttered as your face began to blush, "Do you mean..."

"[Y/N] I love you." He confessed with a shy smile. You stared without saying a word. The silence caused his smile to fall. He dropped his hand from your face. The loss of contact made your cheek become cold. Loki felt embarrassed and groaned, "I know you don't feel the same way but-"

You shushed him and took his hands into yours. You smiled at him as you stared into his eyes hoping this was not a joke. His expression never changed so you smiled even brighter, "Loki... I love you too."

Loki's lips curved up into a smile and sighed in relief. You both stared into each other's eyes. Slowly, Loki leaned forward. You closed your eyes and leaned in as well. You felt his plush lips mold into yours as everything around you disappeared. You both felt yourselves relax into each other's arms until a loud humming came from outside.

You both slowly pulled away in confusion as you both looked over at the group. Tony Stark looked over at Dr. Strange, "Hey Doc, you wouldn't be happening to move your hair at the moment, would you?"

He denied it as everyone looked up at the hole in the roof. Wind started to pick up debris as screams of citizens were heard. You and Loki looked at each other with a determination. You held each other's hands before getting up and preparing to fight against Thanos and his people. You knew you would win with Loki by your side.
