Forgotten // Loki X OC pt.4

I yawned, stretching my arms above my head tiredly. "Welp, I'm off to bed."

Bree and Tony nodded, not taking their gaze off of the screen in front of them. "G'night." They mumbled simultaneously.

I rolled my eyes, slowly making my way into the penthouse. I yawned again and rubbed my eyes, heading towards my bed. I paused, remembering that Loki had wanted me to sleep with him. I chuckled at the wording and shook my head, pulling off my sweater and tossing it onto my small bed.

"You must be tired." I jumped, instinctively covering myself at the sound of Loki's voice. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."

I smiled tiredly and hesitantly uncovered myself. My scarred body was exposed and I didn't like it. But, I couldn't stay hidden in a sweater forever.

Loki smirked, removing his shoes and jacket lazily. I watched as he slowly undressed himself. He pulled off his shirt, revealing his own scarred flesh that I hadn't seen in what felt like a lifetime. The long, deep scars across his back sending shivers down my spine just like they always did. And the small ones scattered across his arms and shoulders made my heart ache.

"Are you alright? Or is that what you're sleeping in?" Loki chuckled, unbuckling his belt agonizingly slow.

I cleared my throat and shook my head. "N-no...I usually sleep in just my underwear. But I can wear somethi-"

"You can sleep in whatever you want. I sleep the same way." Loki smiled, stepping out of his pants. He stood clad in just his form fitting boxer briefs and nothing else. A few small scars, similar to the ones on his arms, were placed strategically in rows on the top of his thighs.

I blushed, continuing to undress myself as Loki slid beneath the covers of his bed. Once ready, I shyly crawled in next to him, the lights already beginning to turn off on their own. We both adjusted ourselves so that we lay close to each other. My head rested on his bare shoulder as his arms wrapped around me and our legs tangled together. I sighed in contentment, taking in the cool feel of his skin against my own and I smiled, feeling Loki do the same.

"Goodnight, Loki." I hummed, resting my arm around his waist and rubbing small circles on his back.

"Goodnight, Aidan." Loki yawned, pulling me even closer to him.

That night, we both slept soundly, drinking in the feel of each other's comforting presence and the soothing skin-to-skin contact.

The next morning, I didn't wear a sweater and Loki didn't wear a jacket. We both seemed to pride in our scars, not giving a damn what everyone else thought depsite knowing that the team didn't care.

"Woah, you're not wearing long sleeves?" Bree asked both Loki and myself. We nodded, sipping from our tea simultaneously. "Good. You guys always seemed uncomfortable in those bulky jackets and jumpers."

I smiled, watching as Bree practically bounced around to kitchen. "What has you so sprightly this morning?"

Breean shrugged, taking a large bite from her toast. "I think I'm getting somewhere with Uncle Tones. And Peter."

I smirked and laughed as Loki nudged my side behind the island, out of Breean's sight. "Getting somewhere with what?"

"A new suit idea." Bree nodded, finishing her toast and chugging the rest of her orange juice. "I can tell you about it in the car if you wanna take me to school."

I raised a brow and glanced to Loki. "You want me to take you to school?"

"Well yeah." Bree chuckled and shrugged. She quickly threw her bookbag over her shoulder and sighed. "You ready?"

I nodded, standing from my seat and following Breean to the garage. "So which car?"

"Whichever one you want. I like Steve's old Beatle, though." Breean smirked, grabbing the keys and hanging them in the air in front of me. "Wanna take it?"

I smirked, snatching the keys from Breean and jumping into the car.

"God, Breean is brilliant!" I exclaimed, pacing around the penthouse. "Did you know that she helps Tony with designs and programming?"

Loki nodded and smiled. "Yes, Aidan. Breean is very intelligent."

"She could really be something some day." I sighed happily, tossing myself next to Loki on his bed. Loki chuckled, staring down at me. "What?"

Loki said nothing as he set his book to the side and leaned down to press a kiss to my cheek. I blushed, grazing my fingers over the skin where his lips had just been. 

"You're amazing." Loki whispered, still only inches away from my face. I bit my lip, glancing between Loki's eyes and lips. After a moment, I sighed and rolled away from him, standing on my feet.

"I'm going to go see what Tony is doing." I said, heading towards the door. Once out in the hall, I stopped to desperately catch the breath that I had been holding. "Fuck."
