It rains outside, and because I and Loki participated in the last mission that took place in pouring rain, we are now the ones that are allowed to stay at the Tower.
That means we are both in the living room lying on the sofa, he reads a book and sips a cup of tea while I text a few friends on my phone.
"Jessica broke up with her boyfriend", I inform Loki.
He nods. Sometimes he likes to hear gossip from my friends. "Maybe she is now as single as Jenny?"
"Nah, nobody is as single as Jenny. Oh, and Alex plans a movie night at the weekend."
Loki nods again and turns a page.
I want to continue typing but my phone rings. I raise my brows and pick up. "Hey, Alex!"
Loki looks up and watches me.
"Yes? Oh, because of next Saturday. Yes, I could bring snacks."
Loki inclines his head. "Could you make that phonecall somewhere else? I am reading."
I make a motion with my hand signaling him to be quiet. After a little pause, I say: "Okay. So no gummy bears. Would chocolate be okay?"
Loki's evil smirk should have told me to go somewhere else, but I was too occupied with that phone call to see it.
"Good. Anything else?", I chatter.
A loud moan interrupts us and I turn my head to stare incredulously at Loki.
"(Y/n)?", I hear Alex ask. "Was that a moan?"
Loki grins and does it again.
Immediatly my face turns red. "No, it wasn't", I say loudly to drown Loki's voice. "Pshh, be quiet!", I hiss in his direction.
He now surpresses his laugh and moans again, trying to be more realistic.
"Oh my god", Alex says into my ear. "I can't believe it! You have a boy with you!"
"No I haven't!", I snap. "Loki psht!"
"Ohh, it's Loki?" Alex sounds really excited now. "You liked him for so long! Why didn't you tell me, I wouldn't have called if I knew that."
Loki has thrown his book on the table and huddles himself into a ball while he desperately tries to not burst out laughing. He manages a high sigh.
"I am ... no! Absolutely not! Quiet now, I will -" But my efforts to save the situation are all for nothing.
"I will call you back later", Alex says and I hear the grin in their voice. "Have fun!" And they end the call.
I stare at the phone and then at Loki. "You!", I exclaim and spring at him. "You, you, you!" And I playfully start to box him.
He bursts out laughing and doesn't even try to stop me. After all he is a god and he wears his armour which has endured a lot more than my fists. Loki giggles and imitates one of his moans and then laughs loudly again.
After a minute of that small fight I get tired and we end up tangled in a ball on the sofa.
"I will pay that back, you know that", I say and try to sound threatening.
"Oh yes", Loki responds and chuckles. "I am so scared."
"You are the worst." I let my head sink onto his chest to hide my smile.
He pats my head. "Don't worry. I am sure you still like me, judging by that last thing Alex said."
I freeze and raise my head again. "You heard that?", I screech.
He snickers. "Don't panic. I have to say I also find you pretty cute."
I am unable to say something. Just my face feels like it is burning again.
Loki bends down to me and whispers: "Maybe you will get the chance to make me moan for real."
My jaw drops. He begins to laugh again. "This is all a joke, isn't it?", I say and my voice trembles.
Loki stops laughing. "No", he says softly. "Your face just looked funny. Stop believing I wouldn't love you, (y/n)."
"How do I know you are not joking?", I respond more mollified but still sceptical.
Loki smiles. "I will show you." And with that, he puts a finger under my chin, raises it and lowers his lips onto mine.
