Heart of lies - Loki x Reader

A Perfect Secret

It had been a week since you had showed Loki how much you cared for him, no matter what his form. Ever since then, you and him had been stealing quick glances at each other, or passionate kisses while no one was around. However your favourite time of the day was night time, one of the two of you would sneak into the others room. You loved every moment with him and the thrill that came with it all, never knowing if you'd be caught or not. The other Avengers seemed oblivious so far, they still didn't seem to like him, but they were warming up, very slowly. Nick had given you full responsibility of Loki, so if he did something bad, it was your fault, you weren't too worried, the worst he had done so far was swap the sugar and salt, Thor got blamed for that, although everyone was suspicious of Loki, you of course knew it was him as he had told you not to use the sugar, which obviously turned out to be the salt. It upset you slightly that your fellow Avengers still hadn't taken a liking to Loki, Tony would still say snarky insults to him, or try to embarrass him in front of the others, you were always at Loki's side, defending him proudly, as Thor was too usually.

Right now you were sitting in the kitchen with Bruce, both of you enjoying a plate full of pancakes. It stayed silent between you both, until Bruce cleared his throat awkwardly, catching your attention, you looked over at him with a smile on your lips

"You and uh Loki seem to be pretty close, anything I should know?" he asked scratching the back of his head, you frowned slightly, why did everyone think Loki was planning something

"We're friends Bruce." you said simply

"Loki doesn't seem like the type of guy to do 'friends', you sure everything is okay." he pressed forward, you knew he was just concerned for you but it still angered you that people thought so lowly of him

"Why does everyone think he's planning to do something? Maybe if you all just gave him a chance you'd realise he's not bad, sure he loves to mess with you all, but that doesn't make him bad. Yes I know he killed over eighty innocent people, but we've all made mistakes, I'm sure you've hulked out before and killed at least one civilian, but here you are labeled as Avenger." you replied, your fists clenching, you knew it was rude to say that to him, it's not his fault he hulks out, but it wasn't entirely Loki's fault that the events that occurred in New York City happened. Bruce's face looked slightly hurt at your words, but you didn't apologise, you stood your ground

"I get that Y/N but he tried to kill all of us, if he succeed-" you cut Bruce of quickly

"But he didn't, there are no if's. It will never happen as we have already won that battle." you stated simply, Bruce nodded slightly

"I know, I just worry Y/N, the other guy wants to smash him to bits." Bruce said, rubbing his hands together

"Don't worry, that won't happen, unless it is absolutely necessary, you have nothing to worry about." you replied softly, Bruce smiled at you

"If you think I'm worrying, you should hear Tony." Bruce chuckled, you raised your eyebrow

"Tony, worried about me?" you said jokingly

"More than you could imagine." Bruce said

"Well let him know I'm fine and safe." you smiled, you didn't have the time for Tony and his long lectures about how Loki was the bad guy and you were somehow in danger, you cared for Tony deeply but not enough that you could put up with his long talks.

"I'll be in the lab, drop by if you need anything." Bruce said as he stood up, walking out the kitchen

"See ya!" you called after him, you picked up your plate and placed it in the sink, running the tap, until warm water gushed out. You began to wash the dishes that were on the counter, quietly humming to yourself. You felt a pair of arms wrap around your waist, you jumped at the sudden contact

"It's just me." A velvety voice cooed in your ear, his breath tickling your skin, sending a shiver down your body

"Loki, someone could see us." You whispered, a small smile stayed on your lips, you loved feeling like this, like you were a part of something secret that only you knew about and if anyone else did it would all be ruined. Loki chuckled softly, planting a kiss on your neck, you immediately started heating up, you finished washing up, you grabbed a towel and dried your hands, reaching for the plate to dry it up, Loki's hand stopped you

"Someone else can do that." he said, turning you so you were facing him, his classic smirk was on his lips, he looked down at you, his hands holding your waist, your eyes quickly darted to the door, to see if anyone was entering, the coast was clear, for now. You looked back at loki, your hands resting on his chest as he pulled you closer, he lowered his head, his lips pressing firmly against yours, you instantly melted, leaning into his touch even more, he smiled against your lips, his tongue brushed against them, asking for entry, you happily opened your mouth so his tongue could dance with yours. You wrapped your legs around his body, his hands holding the bottom of your thighs, he sat you on the kitchen counter, pushing a few cups out the way carelessly, your hand found his hair and immediately grabbed onto it, he stood in between your legs, his hands gripped your hips tightly, you both pulled away for air, before going back in again, he growled slightly against your lips as your hand tugged his hair lightly. You heard Natasha and Steve talking, there footsteps becoming louder and louder, quickly you pulled away from Loki, pushing him slightly, you hopped off the counter and quickly turned back to the sink, facing away from the door, so no one could see your flustered face, Loki swiftly moved over to the fridge, opening it at staring at the contents inside. Nat and Steve both walked in the kitchen

"Hey guys." Steve said, you still didn't face them, your face felt as if it was on fire

"h-hey." you said awkwardly, still drying the same plate

"You okay Y/N?" Natasha asked, taking a step towards you

"Who me yeah I'm fine, I'm great actually, absolutely ecstatic." you rambled on, quickly glancing at Loki, who looked like he found you flustered state quite amusing

"You sure, if Loki did any-" you cut Natasha off abruptly

"No, no, he didn't do anything I can assure you, I'm just a bit hot that's all." you said, biting you bottom lip slightly, praying that Nat would just leave you alone

"Alright." She said a little suspiciously, she looked over at Loki before looking back at Steve who just shrugged

"Well I'll be in my room if anyone needs me." you said before rushing out the kitchen, speed walking into your room and shutting the door. You scolded yourself for acting so stupid, only Loki could make you feel like that, you smiled at the thought of him, this was definitely the closest you've ever been to getting caught, you ran a hand through your hair, chuckling slightly. God did you love him.
