Steamy Love (Tom Hiddleston x Reader)

Chapter 14: Quite The Opposite

The first day on set was easier than you thought it'd be. Everyone was super nice to you and Tom, and while you were sure most of them noticed the hickey still on your neck, no one pointed it out. Not even the staff member that does your makeup mentioned it. They covered it up almost entirely. You were still worried about anyone outside of the set finding out about you and Tom. I mean, no one pointed out the hickey, but you figured they all knew it came from Tom. Who else would it have come from? Supposedly, co-stars hook up all the time at, least once. You had the first week of filming to get used to being on a real set, getting to know other cast mates and extras. Tom told you it was good to get to know everyone on set, if you could. It made everything a little less stressful, and he was right. One extra even recognized you from your streams. You were quite flattered. Tom noticed.

At the end of the first week, you finally had enough time to stream again, and as promised, Tom was going to join you. You were excited, though not as excited as he was. He was ecstatic. He was talking about it all morning with the staff members and the director. It was cute seeing him excited.
After a long day of shooting, you and Tom returned to his home. He made you both a cup of tea while you got all of the equipment ready in your room. You weren't sure what game to play. It would probably be a Switch game, since you had recently purchased one, along with a couple games.
You heard him walk into the room as you set up the chairs, glancing at him with a soft smile as he set your cups of tea down on the bedside table.
"Oh my, that's..." Tom's eyes slightly widened at the sight of your desk, looking at your monitors and streaming equipment.
"Bloody hell. You've set this all up on your own? Multiple times?"
"Multiple times." You spoke, making sure to clear up the desk somewhat so you could drink your teas at the desk.
"You're quite smart." Tom added.
"I'm just techy, really. We all start from somewhere." You smirked.
"Truer words have never been spoken." Tom smiled at you, sitting down on one of the chairs. "What do you plan to play today?"
"Well, I got the switch hooked up first, so probably something on that." You replied. "Could boot up Mario Kart. There's still a couple courses I have to get 3 stars on." Once you knew all of the equipment was set and ready, you sat down in your own chair, glancing at him for a moment.
"Wanna join in? We can play 2 players on Grand Prix now.." You asked Tom.
"Oh, no, I'm not very good at video games.." Tom spoke politely, gently shaking his head. "I'd only get in your way."
"I'll keep a second controller on the desk, if you change your mind." You gave a soft smile, turning your computer on. "Just keep in mind, I use a face cam, so you can't be giving me bedroom eyes 24/7.." You joked, earning a little laugh from Tom.
"I wasn't planning too, but now I may want to give it a try.." Tom gave you a somewhat mischievous smile.
"If you get in the mood in the middle of the stream, everyone's gonna see it." You spoke with a slight shake of the head, still smiling.
"I'm an actor. I can hide it." Tom shrugged. He has a good point.

You got everything set and ready to go live. All you had to do was press the right button, and you'd be live with Tom.
"Should I do a big entrance to surprise everyone?" Tom asked you with a curious smile.
"You mean, like, walk into frame like it's a sitcom?" You asked with a chuckle. "Shall I get some laughing tracks when you ask the chat to kneel?"
"Oooh, should I go get the wig and get in character? People would love that.." Tom got slightly sidetracked. You winced at him.
"Wh--You have the original wig?" You asked, rather surprised.
"Yes. I bring it with me when I travel sometimes.." Tom admitted with a smile. "I even know how to put it on properly."
"That's...pleasantly surprising." You chuckled. "But I don't want to kill half of my viewers with a God as my unannounced guest.."
"Kill them?" Tom repeated with a humorous smile.
"Like, kill their ovaries n' shit." You joked, getting another laugh from Tom.
"Perhaps I'll dress up for you sometime.." Tom smirked at you.
You gae him your full attention, raising a brow.
"I am /not/ going to talk to you while you dress up as Loki.." You chuckled, figuring he was joking.
"Well I wouldn't just wear the costume..." Tom shrugged. "I'm quite good at playing the part. You'd barely recognize me."
"You'd act like Loki?" You winced. "That sounds...ridiculous." You chuckled awkwardly.
"How so? I've acted as him professionally. Would require little to no work at all.."
"And what would make you want to act like Loki around me? Around the house?" You asked. "Sounds a little weird, you and I just standing around the house while you're in character.."
"Who says we'd be standing?" Tom asked with a suggestive smirk. It took a second to click into your head exactly what he meant, your cheeks going pink.
"O-Oh my God, no--", You stuttered with another awkward chuckle. "No. Nuh uh. I ain't doing that."
"Why wouldn't you?" Tom chuckled. This was amusing for him. You could tell. "Have you never felt physical attraction for Loki? You said you and your friend have watched The Dark World more than you can count just for him.."
You did. You did say that. You told him that yesterday on set, actually.
"I thought it's the women that are supposed to dress up for the man?" You tilted your head at him.
"I enjoy it the other way around, really..." Tom admitted. "Arousing a man is easy now adays. A woman could be all slumped over, unhygienic and unhealthy at a bar and could still manage to catch a man's attention. Arousing a woman, on the other hand....now that's a fun challenge.."
"You don't need to put /that/ much effort into arousing me, Tom." You admitted, leaning back on your chair. "Maybe not, but what I can accomplish with said effort would be more than worth it.." Tom purred, making you roll your eyes with a smile. A chuckle left him as you sat up straight for a moment, ready to press a button to go live.

"Ready?" You asked him.
"Whenever you are, pet.." Tom purposely deepened his voice, making you roll your eyes before pressing the button.
