In all your life as an agent of S.H.E.I.L.D you had never met a man so infuriatingly good looking as Steve Rogers, truly he was a masterpiece, a complete and utter gem of a man. For three years you had tried to capture his attention, you had liked him quite a bit and had wanted to start forming something more for quite a while.

Steve, on the other hand had other ideas. He knew of your affections and had to admit, if it was just him he would've snapped up the chance to take you out in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, another was swayed by your infectious spirit and charming looks and Steve had decided to put their happiness before his own, it was the right thing to do. Right?

You had met Loki thanks to Steve and at first your relationship was rocky at best, both of you were cautious of the other (more so you), but eventually you began to see more of Loki. He'd visit you when you were really stressed out from working too hard or just simply needed a break from it all. You began to see more smiles from him, hear more laughs, it became refreshing to be around him.

He was becoming a staple in everyday life, you would wake up of a morning and he'd have a coffee and a muffin ready and waiting for you. All the things that Steve had once done, Loki had started to take over. Eventually Steve was pretty much out of your mind, you spent most of your free time with the notorious god of mischief, which helped your bond grow even stronger.

After a year of you and Loki flirting back and forth something changed. Steve had slotted his way back into your life again, he was one of your closest friends once upon a time, so letting him back in way easy for you. Loki was the difficult part.

"I just do not see why you must go on all of these missions with him, it's beyond ridiculous!" Loki was pacing before you, this was the third night this week he had spent pacing the floor of your shared room. Neither of you had ever confirmed a relationship, nor did you deny one. This was just how it is with you two.
"Loki he's-"
"I know my love, he's the captain. He's been there for you forever, I know there is no reason to worry, but I can't help it, my darling. I have a bad feeling, I just- I trust you with this. It's him I do not trust." Loki kneeled before you, your small hands in his larger ones as he spoke to you softly.
"There's nothing to worry about Loki, he'd never do anything to hurt me." You squeezed his hands tight, feeling his nerves wash over you. For some reason you weren't too sure today.

*Time skip brought to you by Loki throwing butter knives at a picture of Steve.*

"Hey Steven, we ready to go?" You step into the quinnjet, suited up and ready for action.
"Yeah, we've got everything we need. It's only a simple surveillance mission, we're going to check some strange activity Tony's been monitoring for us. See what the cause for all of it is, sound good to you (L/N)?" Steve smiled and gave you a playful nudge as he addressed you.
"Always does Rogers, just don't get caught this time, yeah?" You let out a laugh as his face flashed red.
"It was one time..." You barely caught the statement as he mumbled it out, you decided not to push it any further and just laughed it off.

"So, (Y/n), how's-" Steve cleared his throat and glanced back at you. "How's Loki?" You gave him a small smile and sat in the passenger seat of the quinnjet, buckling yourself in.
"He's good, kinda got on my nerves this morning though." You roll your eyes and Steve laughs gently, buckling himself into the pilot's seat.
"Him? What!? No way!?" His obvious sarcasm made you laugh along with him, it felt like old times.
"He's just jealous is all, you know how he is." Steve raised an eyebrow and glanced over at you, confusion written on his face.

"What on earth would a god be jealous of?" You watched Steve as he navigated the aircraft expertly, surveying the land below for an inconspicuous place to land.
"You taking me away so often, he thinks you have some 'ulterior motives' behind it." You spoke the words directly and watched as Steve's face molded into one of guilt. That's when it struck you.
"You do have an ulterior motive!" You were shocked, this was Steve. A man you'd known for six years, a man you trusted beyond belief.
"We're here." The quinnjet landed and Steve stood, only to be stopped by your arm grabbing his. You felt his guilt and hurt rush over you for a second.
"How long? How long have you liked me?" Steve looked down at you, his expression torn.
"We can discuss this later. For now, we have a mission." You sighed, but reluctantly agreed.

Armed with your usual weapons of choice, you stalked through the shadows of the forest that surrounded the suspected base. Everything was silent until you picked up the crack of twigs to your left and saw a man in camoflauge.
"STEVE, IT'S A TRAP!" The moment those words left your mouth everything swung into high gear. The sounds of bullets being fired from their chambers was deafening, the hot metal raining down.
"WE NEED TO FALL BACK." Steve's voice rung out to you as you both fought your way back to the jet.

Once inside Steve got to work, immediately preparing for take off and requesting for back up. Tony replied with a simple "five minutes."

The quinnjet took off, heading for a safe zone to regroup with the other Avengers.
"We'll be there in a second, hold on Cap." Tony's voice flitted out of the comms.
"Oka-" The heat was the first thing you felt, the awful sound of mangled metal was next.

You were falling. Above you was the quinnjet, a hole on the side as it dove towards land. Just like you. That was until you weren't.
"Got you covered pipsqueak." Tony, he'd saved you. When your feet touched the solid ground you were in another pair of arms. Loki's arms. You were safe. For now.

"I guess you could say, I fell for you now." You whispered to him, which he was not impressed by.
"Never joke about something so serious again my love. I cannot lose you." You hung your head and gave him a nod.

There's plenty more to talk about.
