Water Under the Bridge (Loki)

A/n: ⚠️FEELZ⚠️ I may have gotten some of the lyrics wrong, but whatever.

   You miss him. He ignores you for weeks, for some reason that you don't know. You tried Thor, but he wasn't helpful at all. Matter of fact he seemed aggravated. Loki probably pissed him off.
    You sigh and open your journal and re-read your past few entries.
          'August 15  9:00pm
   I spent yet another day with Loki. It was amazing. I still cannot wrap my head around his perfect imperfections. We are getting close. I'm enjoying it alot.'

    You bite your lip and try to hold back the anxiety crawling into your stomach. Thinking of how happy the two of you where as friends, made you depressed. You where finally getting somewhere with him, until he cut you off without reason. Everytime you think about him, you wonder why. You've tried to talk to him, but he vanishes into thin air. Your pencil snaps in your hand, making you jump. You hadn't realized how tight your grip was. You threw the crumpled pencil in the garbage and open your dresser draw to retrieve another, but there where none left. You mentally cursed yourself for not realizing you where low earlier. Now in your frantic state you'd have to go ask around for a pencil or go to the store, but you rule out going to the store due to your nerves.
      You strode over to your door and push it open. Your best bet for a pencil would be in the lab or maybe Steve. You choose to go to Steve since he was on the same floor. You scratch your head and knock on his door. "One minute!" You hear him call out. You inwardly smile, thinking of him stumbling around the room. His door swings open and his hair is a mess. "Oh, hey Y/n! I was asleep." He smiles and runs his fingers through his golden locks.
     "Oh, I didn't mean to wake you." You say, but he waved it off. "I was wondering if you had a pencil I could borrow?" You ask and his eyebrows knit together.
    "Umm, yeah hold on." He said and turned back into his room. He left the door open as he stumbled through his drawers. "Got it!" He calls out and turns to face you with a bright smile. He holds out the yellow #2 pencil towards you with an approving nod. You take it and thank him.
     "Thank you." You say, knowing that you made the right choice in picking Steve, because he won't question your motives.
     "No problem! You can keep it. I have a lot around here." He says and yawns.
    "Well, I'll let you get back to napping." You say and wave, heading back towards your room. Once you get there you shut the door and quickly turn on your Bluetooth speaker. You scroll through your songs and click on (favorite song). Your head bobs to the music as you open your journal to write.
      'September 14th 3:00pm
  Still no sign from Loki. I guess he really hates me. I don't know why? I've only been kind to him. I just... want him so much. I miss him. Whats wrong with me? What did I do? Everytime I try to talk to him he vanishes and ignores me. What am I supposed to do?'

   You chew on the inside of you cheek to keep your nagging tears at bay. The song changes on your speaker to Bleeding Love by Maria Elena Kyriakou.

Closed off from love. I didn't need the pain. Once or twice was enough, but it was all in vain.

   The speakers sung as you wipe the invisible tears from your cheek and sit up.
  
  Time starts to pass. Before you know it your frozen.

   You inhale sharply and decide to sing along with her to release the tension building in your chest.
  
    "But something happened for the ever first time with you. My heart melted to the ground; finding something true. And everyones looking 'round thinking I'm going crazy." You sing and stand from the bed and grip at the edge of your shirt, suddenly feeling a surge of confidence.
    
   "But I don't care what they say! I'm in love with you!" You imagine him standing infront of you, so he could hear how you felt and that you don't care if the Avengers hate him. You don't care what he done in the past.
      "They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth! My heart is crippled by the vain that I keep on closing!" You inhale sharply, trying too keep your voice from cracking.
   "You cut me open and I keep bleeding. I keep, keep bleeding in love!" You pause letting Maria finish the verse. You wipe the now fresh tears from your eyes and you tighten your fist.
    Loki stands in the hallway, exasperated by the power and sincerity in your voice. His heart beat wildly in his chest, because he had feelings for you. He was just to cowardly to face them, so he did the opposite. He cut you out of the picture, afraid that he would only hurt you and himself. He thought you'd be better off without him.
   "Trying hard not to hear, but they talk so loud. Their piercing sounds fill my ears, trying to fill me with doubt. And I know that their goal is to keep me from falling." You think back to Clint and Natasha's reaction when you told them. They stared at you for a moment and then glanced at each other. Immeaditly you knew it was a mistake telling them.

"But nothings greater then the rush that comes with your embrace and in this world of loneliness I see your face. And everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe yeah." You feel the tears stream down your cheeks as you sing loudly, to release the anxiety built up in your chest.
    
"But I don't care what they say. I'm in love with you. They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth! My hearts crippled by the vain that I keep on closing! Oh you cut me open and I keep bleeding. Keep keep bleeding in love."  You voice cracks one more time, before you totally break down. You cry, gripping your bed sheets and pushing your head into the mattress. All you want was to be close to Loki again. You miss his humor and his insensitive jokes. You miss the way his jet black hair folds perfectly behind his shoulders.

I'll be wearing the scars for everyone to see!
   You lay there for some time as the song goes by, wondering what you did wrong, until the song ends.
    Loki stands outside the door, tears swelling up in his own eyes. How could you do this to him? Just the sound of your voice cracking was enough to make his heart shatter, but this took the broken pieces of his heart threw it in a blender and poured guilt in, mixing them together. His eyes flutter shut and he brings his hand to his lips letting the tears stream down his face. Suddenly, he didn't care what the others thought. He didn't care if anyone saw his tears. "Go talk to her." Loki's eyes cut to the side of him. There he saw Clint standing there. He can already tell that Clint wasn't comfortable, due to their past. "She'll understand. She always does." He says and nods toward your door. Loki goes to open his mouth to say something, but Clint cut in. "But if you hurt her, I will personally deliver your dead body to the Chitauri." He says and Loki knew he ment it. A smile cracks up onto Loki's lips at Clint's threat and he nods knowingly.
   His goes to knock on the door, but it opens. You rub your eyes and look up to him. You could feel your blood run cold. Had he been standing there this whole time? Your anxiety starts to creep back up on you and you go to shut the door and crawl back into your bed, whenever Loki uses his foot to keep the door open. "Y/n, wait." He says and forces the door open.
     "What do you want?" You ask, it comes off harsher than you intended it too, but either way it got the message across. Loki walks in and shuts the door behind him.
    "I-i'm sorry." He starts and sighs, now realizing how hard this was going to be.  "I was-I felt- I don't know how to explain it." He continues and pinches his nose.
    "Stupid." You say and sit on the edge of your bed, facing away from him. Loki looks to you and smiles. He laughs softly and walks closer.
    "Well, thats one way to explain it." He says and sits on the edge of your bed besides you. He breathes in and out placing a hand on your back. You can feel all your muscles tense under his touch, but not because you didn't want it, but because your had longed for it for so long that you didn't know how to respond now that you have it. "I was scared." He says softly and put his hands back in his lap. You turn slowly to him and watch as his eyes flicker down to his hands. "I was afraid that if I got to close to you that I would hurt your or vis versa." He stops and looks up to you. "I've never had someone stick around this long and, too me, it's frightening. I was just trying to protect you from me, but I see that by doing that, I only caused you unnecessary pain." He stops and his hand twitches as it reaches for yours. You inhale deeply as his shakey hand squeezes yours gently.
     "Loki, I- heh, I understand." You say and look deep into his seaweed green eyes. You feel relieved, that you had in fact done nothing wrong and that he was just scared. He smiles warmly, staring back into your eyes. "You have nothing to be afraid of. I'll never leave you, Loki." You say and smile back. He cups your face with his free hand and pushes his forehead to yours.
      "I know that now, darling." He says and closes his eyes, loving the feeling he is getting from being so close to you. He pushes away his doubts and just enjoys the moment. You can feel your heart beating in your ears as you stare at his lips. They are so close. You glance back up to his eyes and he is gazing at you. Your cheeks immediately flush with embarrassment. "Are you tempted?" He whispers and pulls your body closer by your hand. Your thoughts vanished and you couldn't form words to answer his question. "It's quite alright, my love." His whispers again, seeing how breathless you are. He leans in slowly, but stops inches from your lips. "Wait." He says, faking insecurity.
    "Loki." You groan and he laughs closing the gap between your lips. You kiss him back and he parts looking into your eyes. You bite your lips and smile up at him. He smiles back at you and attacks your lips once more. You kiss him again, but laugh braking it. He begins to pepper you with kisses, causing you to giggle childishly.
    You have waited for this moment for so long and it is totally worth it. He stops and looks back at you with a loving smile. You smile back and pounce on him, causing him to yelp amd fall off the bed with you in arms. You both begin to laugh and you lay your head on his chest; feeling the rise and fall as he laughs. "Oh, I've missed you too." He says with a laugh and holds you close to him.
