Broken Pasts (Loki x OC)

ch5

A week has passed since Loki was let out of cell, and he has yet to cause any problems for the avengers. Throughout the past week, Epin and Loki have spent every hour of every day together. Whether that be silently in the library or sharing simple conversation in the living room, the two started to really enjoy each other's company though neither would admit it.

Loki wakes up in his room and immediately has the urge to wake up Epin. He is still extremely uncomfortable being anywhere without Epin even though he would never tell her that. Epin is the only one he trusts, so he gets dressed in his midgardian clothes and makes his way to her room which is directly next to his. He knocks on her door and is greeted with silence so he peeks in to see Epin sprawled across her bed, completely passed out. He smiles to himself at the goddess in front of him and his heart flutters at the sight of her.

He pushes the door open so it hits the wall and leans on her door frame making a noise wake Epin up. She shoots up and stares with wide eyes at Loki, clearly startled. "Oh my god! You scared me!" Epin says catching her breath and holding a hand over her heart. Loki chuckles at her.

"I know I look rather handsome so I am unsure how you were scared by the way I look." Loki states seriously with a smirk playing at his lips.

Epin laughs and shakes her head at the God playful manner so early in the morning. "Sure, whatever you say, Antlers." This makes the smirk widen on Loki's face and an eye roll appear.

They could both feel the difference in their relationship and how it has grown significantly since the first day they met. The fact that Loki feels no negative emotions towards Epin scares him. He has never felt like this about another person. It's as if he really cares about her. They both trust the other in a way that is unexplainable to everyone even though they have only known each other for such a short amount of time.

After staring at each other for a few more seconds, Loki breaks the silence. "I wanted to wake you considering I don't trust anyone else in this god forsaken tower." Epin nods at this and stands up, grabbing a pair of joggers to pull over her shorts. They walk to the living room in silence and Epin flops onto the couch and turns the television on.

"Forensic files again?" Epin asks Loki who nods with an eager smile. It was his favorite earthy show. He found it very interesting to see what types of strategies criminals used for their crime of choice. He sits awkwardly on the couch with perfect posture while Epin is slouched with her feet up on the cushions.

"While I do enjoy this program, I still do not understand how you waste your time watching this box." Loki says which makes Epin laugh. The tops of his ear tint red at the sound of her laughter.

Bruce is the next person to enter the area and he goes directly into the kitchen as he eyes the couch both Epin and Lki are sitting on. "Good morning, Epin." Bruce says and Epin leans over the edge of the ouch so she can make eye contact with him.

"Morning Banner." Epin replies with a joyful smile. Loki tries to keep his attention away from the other avenger considering he was recently smashed into the floor by his counterpart. He is ever more on edge when Tony, Steve and Thor enter the room.

Tony glances over and sees that Loki is in the room, he sees this as the perfect opportunity to make him uncomfortable. Tony walks over and sits next to him on the couch, Loki instantly stands up and walks over to stand by Epin. She can feel the unease radiating off of Loki as he stiffly stands by her. She glares at Tony knowing he is the reason and Tony gives her a sparkling smile.

"Lets go to the kitchen Loki." Epin says and she stands from the couch. She uses her powers to fling a blanket over Tony's head as she passes him and practically skips into the kitchen where Thor and Steve are talking with Loki following loosely behind her.
