My love for Loki

Untitled Part 23

I'm a highly trained sophisticated killing assassin, not a babysitter, but apparently the others think I am since I've been partnered with Loki. Two fluorescent, red eyes gazed at me from a distance. I turn the two knives in my hands, ready to attack. i would have rather done this on my own, but the others insisted that we work better as a team. I look around me, seeing at least a dozen more eyes gazing at me. Loki has insisted that I stay put and let him handle it. I'm starting to get real impatient as I wait for some kind of signal. I finally snap and run from my hiding spot. Within seconds I'm surrounded
I ducked as one of them lashes out. I were only just able to avoid being knocked to the ground. storming after them I hit their weak spots shutting them down immediately. Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I look around to see more coming maybe I made a mistake with this call. I do my best to shut them down but I end up getting pinned to the ground, before I scream. The robots explode causing the others to look toward the God of mischief. Within seconds everyone of the robots is destroyed. What took him seconds would take me minutes. He looks down at me with disgust.
"we're done here" he spits like fire, leaving you on ground in the middle of all the destruction. Tony comes running in
"didn't I tell you you don't need to destroy them, they took a ton of money and time to build all of those!!"
"they were going to kill y/n though she will get herself killed for being reckless"
"Well sorry you fucking prince maybe if you let me actually do something I wouldn't have to be" He just growled at me and turned to Steve
"can we stop trying to be a team. Me and her will never get along, I demand someone else" Steve just rubs his face
"it doesn't work like that loki"
"spoilt brat" I hiss, he quickly turns towards me and snarls.
"you know nothing of me you pathetic quim" you from and grip your knives harder as you two stared each other down. He acts selfish, I act like a child, we bring the worst in each other. Steve just sighs
"listen you two need a lot of work and before you two can go on mission you need to be a team first, understood" I look at the ground
"yes"
"ok get cleaned up" I glance at Loki before walking away and head to my room. I can hear other footsteps other than mine. Locking the door to my room after stepping inside I lean against the wall. I didn't feel the need to take a shower. Especially not since training hadn't been intense. Not like I train with the others. Loki had only come to earth several weeks ago, after Thor's request to keep a better eye on him form here. Something I had been very, very displeased about. A knock comes from the other side of the door
'I'm not stupid, [Name],' Steve called 'I know you're in there. you need to talk to Loki, you guys need to work this out"
'And then what, Steve? He's a God. He wouldn't care...' I call back
"he might care if it was you" I sighed again. Maybe Steve was right Loki was much, much stronger than me. He had proven that again today. If I had his power, I would have done the same. Maybe i should go over to his room and apologize to him. I didn't want to be the first to do that, but what's there to lose. If i wanted to make it out of missions alive or even go on missions, I had to be able to work together as a team. Walking out of my room I start heading to Loki's when I hear voices
"listen Rodgers She's a liability" I narrow my eyes and walk into the living room where those two are and stand behind Loki
"Loki she's not a liability"
"she will only slow me down, she can not stand to a God"
"What!!" Loki spins to see me seething with anger, I spin on my heel and storm back to my room, feet quickly follow me. I lock the door and start pacing the room. There's knocking on the door but I ignore it. I hear the latch and it opens and closes. I look to see Loki standing in front of me. I couldn't even imagine why I had wanted to apologize to him. Especially not when he was still acting like a complete asshole. I had totally forgotten about what Steve had said. You bit down your teeth hard I tried to control myself, but I just couldn't. I raised my hand up to him and slapped him hard on the cheek. Tears welled up in my eyes as I saw his cheek turning red, but he didn't say anything. He just looked down at me. I raised my hand again but he caught my arm and pinned me to the wall.
'Let me go, you asshole!' I cried out. 'How could you say that about me. I'm a damn good agent. I'm not a liability!'
"Then when are you going to show me" I swallow hard, looking into his eyes. I had never been this close before and I only just realized how green his eyes were. How his muscles tensed, everything he came near m. How gentle his touch was and how nice he smelled.
I let out a shaky sigh, biting my lip. Without even thinking about it, I leaned forward and pressed a hasty kiss on his lips. I pulled away quickly, not sure what had just happened, or even why it had happened. I tried to pull myself from his grasp, looking into his eyes that gazed at me with intense confusion, but he didn't let me go. Instead, he stepped closer to me and kissed back. His hands found their way to my waist as mine tangled into his hair. We pulled away for air, we looked into each others eyes.
"you better go" I pull down my shirt wondering when that even happened
"are we going to talk about this"
"no" I respond without even looking at him. I walk over to the door and open it waiting for him to exit, he walks out and turns towards me but I close the door and lock it. I hear his footsteps echo down the hall way and I let myself slid to the ground. I hug my knees close to me as tears fall down my cheeks.
Only an hour ago you had been yelling at each other, angry, because we couldn't stand the sight of the other person. And now, still feeling Loki's warm touch on my back and his soft lips on my own, I could do nothing but think about him. Why was I stupid enough to give in to the impulse? I hadn't expected him to kiss me back, or had I? I didn't know anymore. All I knew was that I had made a terrible mistake. Rule number one of teamwork: never fall in love with your partner. Never... even if it met you give up the only love you have ever felt.
I stayed in your room, huddled behind the door, for god knew how long. I missed dinner, even though Steve had called me several times. I even missed the movie Tony had put on, and it was my favorite, but face Loki. I woke up from a loud noise of shattering glass that came from the kitchen. my muscles felt sore as I pushed off the floor. My stomach rumbled. I didn't know what time it was, but seeing the pitch black darkness in my room, it must be night I didn't bother with the kitchen I just stumble into the bathroom to take a long, hot and steaming shower. Feeling fresh and awake I walk into the kitchen to see Loki picking up pieces of glass. Before I could sneak away his eyes met mine
''What are you doing up?'' he asked, his voice nothing but a whisper. 'It's just past midnight.'
''I was hungry...''
"y/n, listen I.."
'You don't have to say anything,' I sigh, walking passed him to the fridge.
'Yes I do, listen I looked into your head about what's going" my body tenses "i care even though I might not show it I do care"
I nod. 'Look, today, and all the day before that, I acted like a child. I knew I would get a new partner eventually. I just didn't expect it to be you... And about what happened, between us... I-I got carried away. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.'
"shall we be friends then"
"yeah"
'I should get back to my room. Sweet dreams, y/n.'
"good night Loki"
I watched him smile at me briefly, before he turned around and walked out of the kitchen. I took out a sandwich from the fridge and went back to my room. I lock the door behind me and sit myself on the bed and start to slowly eat the sandwich. Suddenly, I just wasn't hungry anymore. I could have sworn if me and Loki finally got to some middle ground we would be fine maybe I was wrong.
I could still feel his lips on yours. The feeling it had given me when he touched me. It was all starting to become too much. Where did this feeling come from? Why did i like Loki so much all of a sudden. didn't I hate him just a few hours ago? Or maybe that was just something I had tried to convince myself into believing. Does he truly care for me? I could I truly let him in after all this time...
My thought die as I lay back on my bed and try to sleep. I met with no dreams and no sleep. After this hard front that I try putting up just one person has broken it down. tip toeing out of my room, I make my ways towards his and just stand outside his door. Should you knock? What if he was already asleep?
I sighed, laying my hand on the doorknob and turning it around, finding the door to be unlocked. I open it slowly, not wanting to make any sound. On the tip of my toes I walk further into Loki's room, locking the door behind me, I don't want anyone interrupting us. I turn to see Loki staring at the ceiling, did he really not hear me?
He pushed himself from his bed a little as he noticed someone had entered the room. The sheets feel of his bare chest and I let out a shaky sigh, seeing his thin but firm muscles tense. I walk over to him and crawl into the bed, finding his warm arms that pull me into an embrace.
"Hey" I whisper.
"Hey" he whispered back. "I thought you wanted to be friends?"
"So did I..."
Loki looked down on me, wiping the hair out of my face lovingly. "I don't think you're a liability, y/n," he spoke softly, his eyes telling me he was sorry, "but I do think you're impossible to work with. You distract me, all the time. You're just so beautiful and I..."
"shut up Loki" I interrupt him, pressing my finger against his lips. I caressed the side of his face and waited for him to kiss me.
He took my face in his hands and kissed me passionately. pulling me closer to him, slowly letting his hands slip underneath my shirt. I liked his touch, so gentle. It wasn't forceful like I had always thought it would be. He kissed my neck, heating skin, and closed his arms even further around me. He almost knew exactly how far I wanted to take this and when he reached my sweet spot, he stopped.
"We should better go to sleep..." I nod and he places a final kiss on my lips. "Stay here tonight"
"Okay" nesting myself against his chest and feeling his heart race against my cheek. letting my eyes fall shut, Loki enclosing his arms around me. The tower could be under attack right now I just would care, all I care about is being in his embrace. It's the first blissful sleep that I have had in a long time and its all because of him.

EXTENDED ENDING
'On your right!' I yell at Loki, pulling my knives out one of the robots. I duck as one of them came for my head and kick it backwards before it could attack again
"Watch out!" Loki cried out, shooting his magic at the robots that was standing behind you. ducking out of the way and sending one of the knives at the robot trying to get Loki, sending it flying through the sky and landing on the ground with a thud. I regained my position at Loki's back, just as more come out.
"Are you alright?" he asked, feeling me pant heavily.
"Never better," I smile, looking up at him. "How many time do we have left?"
He looked up at the clock in front of him, seeing the last five minutes tick away. "Plenty..." he smiled back, giving me the signal to launch myself at the robots again.
"So how did you get them to work together?" Sam asks Steve as he watches us
"I didn't, they finally did it"
"Did what?"
"they let their walls fall to each other"
