It was morning now in the Hellicarrier and Emma was hearing a bird tweeted by the window. Emma heard the tweeting of the bird and saw that it was bird with a golden beak that was a green and yellow colour and had wings that had a mix of green and yellow on them. She watched it and was amazed at how beautiful the bird was, "ooohhhh a beautiful bird with a golden beak...but where did it come from?" she then turned to Snowflake, "who do you think owns it?" Emma asked and Snowflake just shrugged her shoulders.

When Emma looked back at the bird she immediately recognized it as Loki. She gasped when she seen Loki in his bird form, and she said aloud, "Loki?! Is that really you?? Oh my gosh," she was in complete shock and awe.

Loki shape shifted back and came in her room.

"What are you doing here? The other heroes might see—" Loki hushed her citing her off and placing his finger on her lips.

Loki then said, "I'm sorry for coming here and hushing you up my darling, but you're right the other heroes may find me here and that is the last thing I want to happen, so I thought I would come here in secret and speak with you for a bit and see how you were feeling my love," he put his hand on her cheek, stroking it gently as he continued to say, "we haven't had the chance to have this moment so I thought I would take advantage of it while I can."

Emma blushed looking up at him, "Loki...h-how did you even escape?"

Loki stroked Emma's cheek some more and then said, "oh it wasn't to difficult for me at all to escape," he then leaned in closer to Emma's ear, and whispered with passion, "I came here for you my dear, because I wanted to see you again, and now we are here, alone and no one else is around to disturb us now....and I can talk with you all I want in peace," he finished by holding Emma close to him, having his hands on her hips. She squeaked once he touched her there and she backed up. He realized he was rushing this too fast and she might be still shaken up when Doom attacked her earlier.

Loki looked at Emma and held her hand gently and said, "oh please forgive me Phantom Girl, I didn't mean to push you away or rush this too quickly, you are right that I am a little too eager, but please, please, don't be afraid, I'm not going to hurt you, I promise," he said this with full sincerity and he continued, "I just wanted to have a special moment with just you and I....my dear...I've missed you so much..."

"...I missed you too....I was worried that Doom...," she broke down.

Loki hugged Emma tightly and kissed her head gently then whispered in her ear, "ohhhhh my poor darling, my beautiful Phantom girl, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry...please forgive for all the pain I have caused you, I don't want to see you like this, and I don't want to see you sad or in pain...so please, don't cry, I'm here now, all I want to see is you smiling and happy my dear...please...stop crying and just smile for me," he hugged her tightly again but gently.

She looked up a him, "I'm sorry...I just thought he hurt you."

Loki looked at Emma and wiped her tears away and said, "it's alright, don't worry I'm fine, it takes a lot to hurt me my love, but I can't stand seeing you hurt, so please, please my love, just forget that bad man and think of this wonderful moment we're having together now," he said this as he continued to lovingly hold her close and stroke her cheek gently and with a caring smile on his face.

Loki looked down at Emma's beautiful eyes and said, "oh my word your eyes are just incredible, I could just get lost in them, so beautiful....my darling, may I have something of yours that I really hope you will give me," he said this with a smile and sincerity in his voice as he continued to look into her eyes.

"You...want something from me?"

Loki nodded and said, "yes I do Phantom Girl, I want something of yours, oh I beg of you, if you could please give me.....," Loki paused for a moment, he moved in a little closer to Emma's ear and in a soft and sweet whisper he finished his sentence, ".....your first.....kiss....please my phantom girl, I am asking you this because I want you to be my first and my only...and if you don't...I completely understand," he said this sincerely, awaiting her answer, looking intensely into her eyes.

Well, he did ask, but Emma looked down. She felt her heart belong to someone else, "I'm...still not ready...I'm sorry."

Loki looked at Emma and said, "it's alright my dear, please, there's no need to be sorry, you have your reasons, I do understand," he paused for a moment and said, "so, who is the lucky soul who has claimed your heart already?" he finished by looking at Emma in question.

"I still haven't gotten my first kiss...," she admitted.

Loki was shocked by her admitting that she hadn't gotten her first kiss yet and said, "so...your first kiss is still to be taken? Well that's actually a surprise, I was expecting your first kiss to have been taken by someone....but now I actually consider myself lucky that you have saved your first for me," he said this with a smile in face as he leaned in closer to Emma's face and added, "so, may I have the honors of being your first kiss my darling Phantom Girl?"

She looked away and hugged herself, "I still said....I'm not...not ready...."

Loki stopped as she said that and said with a concerned look, "again, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rush you and push you away...I just got carried away and excited...I am sorry my dear Phantom Girl, I will wait until you are ready...there's no rush for me to have your first kiss....and now that I know that you haven't had your first kiss, I won't be taking it until you are ready, I swear," he finished saying this with sincerity and concern in his eyes looking down at Emma.

She sighed and looked back at him. "It's alright. You're still my best friend." Emma then wrapped her arms around him.

Loki smiled warmly and with a look of relief, as Emma said aloud that he was still her best friend, Loki looked down at Emma and said, "oh Emma, you have no idea how happy that makes me, you have made me the happiest man alive...so please, know this Emma, I want you to stay my best friend, forever and always," he then hugged Emma tightly and then leaned in closer to her ear and whispered to her, "now let's get out of here my dear and spend some time together, what say you?"

"But I'm still in my pajamas, and the others might be waking—"

Loki stopped Emma from finishing the sentence and said, "oh I can take of that....and the others...," he snapped his fingers, suddenly Emma's PJ's became a red and black sweater with black leggings, "ah much better...now that look beautiful on you.....I think you wear black really well my dear," he finished by smiling and kissing her forehead as he looked at her new outfit.

She blushed and looked shocked, "how did you..."

Loki smirked and raised a brow, "oh come now, my dear, I think we both know that I'm a master of magic and the God of Mischief, so it wasn't all that difficult for me to change outfit you had on dear Phantom Girl."

She blushed again. She then turned to Snowflake, "just stay here ok? And keep the other heroes company."

Snowflake nodded as she ate her baby carrots. Loki then pulled Emma in a tight hold. Loki smiled as he watched Emma and Snowflake interact and then when Emma was done Loki gently wrapped his arms around Emma tight and said, "so my dear Phantom Girl, are you ready?" he asked with a smile and then pulled her close to him, having a tight grip around Emma's waist, and he was now ready to teleport them to a place where they could be alone.

Emma found herself standing in a room, with Loki, still holding her with a hand on her waist, looking around the room and taking everything in, "oh where are we Loki? Is this your room?" Emma asked with curiosity and wonder in her voice looking up at Loki.

Loki turned to Emma and looked into her blue eyes and said, "no, this isn't my room my dear, I couldn't risk taking you to my bedroom, but this....this is a place where we can spend some time together my dear...but please, make yourself at home, this will be our new little world where can spend together, without anyone else bothering or disturbing us," he finished saying this with a warm smile and continued to stare into Emma's eyes.

Loki continued to hold Emma close to him, he kissed her forehead this time and then leaned in closer and whispered in her ear, "would you like a tour of this world my dear? I would be honored to give it to you and show you everything that it has to offer...," he finished saying this with a soft and warm smile, waiting for her answer as he gently played with Emma's blond hair, his fingers softly running through her hair. She blushed more and nodded.

Loki smiled even more and looked down at Emma's sweet little rosy red cheeks, he found it really to adorable to see her blush, so cute....and he couldn't help himself...so he then kissed her cheek which made Emma blush even more, "ohhh Emma...you are just so cute...well then, please my Phantom Girl, follow me, I will show you what this world has to offer you," he finished with a warm smile and still playing with her blonde hair, holding her hand.

Loki walked with Emma and held her hand, his fingers laced and intertwined with hers as he continued walking and they finally made it to a door, "oh, this door here is a most special room in our world...may I show you what it is my dear?" he asked, looking down at her beautiful face with those gorgeous blue eyes and a warm and inviting expression.

She nodded, "sure."

Loki then opened the door and it showed a beautiful, elegant ballroom, "welcome to our ball room and dance hall, my love...for here, we can dance all we want....and...I've been itching to show how well I can dance...would you do me a great honor and give me your first dance?" Loki said this with a warm and charming smile, his hand out towards Emma.

Emma blushed. Suddenly a song was playing in the ballroom. She hesitated, but soon took his hand.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Loki pulled Emma to the center of the dance floor and gently rested his hands on her hips....and then they began to dance slowly, Loki lead Emma in a perfect and mesmerizing dance, the couple moving in perfect synchronicity with each as they danced, "oh, Emma, would I be a fool if I said that this, right here, I've been waiting an eternity for this moment to dance with you? And how beautiful you look...I just wish to be yours and only your's my darling Phantom Girl."

Emm blushed more as they danced. That's when Loki Loki sang with the song, "Both your steady eyes and smoothly skies glow. Your silhouette that holds the light. Sit beside as we let the time go...was this me...or was this a dream...."

Emma blushed realizing this song was how he was feeling.

He then continued singing.

As Loki and Emma danced across the floor, he pulled her closer, his warm hands on her hips, and he then picked Emma up and spun her around, his eyes were locked with hers as he spun her around with grace and precision....and in the most quiet...and beautiful voice, he sang the final part of the song, that meant so much to him, he kept her close to him and as he sang the final lines he placed his hand on her cheek gently and softly stroking her cheek with his thumb, he continued to sing the last lines and continued to look into Emma's blue eyes.

"I just wanna take my time...I just want a chance to hold and tend these memories that will last me all my life. I just need to hold this night...never gonna lose these dreams of memories...won't forget your steady eyes....," Loki finished his singing of the song and continued to hold Emma close to him, gently stroking her cheek with his thumbs and smiling at her, waiting for her to respond.

Emma looked up at him. She felt she was falling for Loki, but she thought this was wrong. He was villain. And she was hero. She blushed more and looked down.

Loki gently pulled Emma's face up with his fingers softly, his eyes still locked on hers and then he said aloud with a gentle smile to his face, "what's wrong my Phantom Girl, why are you blushing? Did I say something that upset you, was it something in that song? Emma, please dear, tell me what's wrong, and let me help....you can tell me everything my dear Phantom Girl....please....tell me, what is troubling you?" He finished by stroking her cheek gently.

"...you're...you're a villain..."

Loki then pulled Emma into his chest, wrapped his arms around her tightly and gently but warmly said, "Emma, my love, please don't worry about my title my dear, yes I know, I've made many mistakes, but that won't stop the fact that I am utterly, hopelessly in love with you my dear, I have been ever since I laid eyes on you and your sweet face, I love you so much it drives me to madness and I'm fine with being a villain if it means being able to stand by you...my brave...beautiful....Phantom Girl...my Emma."

"But, Loki...I'm a hero...it's..."

Loki placed one of his hands on her face and gently held it. "Yes Emma we are on opposing sides my dear, but is that really a bad thing?" He gently stroked her cheek with her thumb as he continued to look down at Emma. "We may oppose each other, but in spite of that, I love you so much and now that I have found you, I won't lose you to anyone else, I will not let any other man take you away from me my dear....," He finished by pulling Emma closer to him, his arms around her torso tighter.

Emma wrapped her her arms around him an buried her face his shoulder. She never felt this way before. Was she really falling inlove with him? He was so sweet, romantic, he saved her from Dr Doom when Doom kidnapped her, he watched over her, and he sang to her. Was this...love? She the rested her forehead on his.

Loki then softly kissed Emma's forehead, his hands now placed on her waist, and then he said in a soft and gentle voice so soft and comforting to Emma's ears, "yes Emma, this....this is love my sweet, Phantom Girl, and it only grows ever so strong for me....and only you as I look at your soft and beautiful face, so let me have it...my dear...let me take hold...and let me...love you, just give me the chance to...let me love you..."

"Loki...," she looked up in his green eyes. They leaned in about to kiss, when they heard a yell open the door.

"Loki!" It was Thor.

Loki groaned in annoyance and muttered under his breath as he pulled away from Emma and said in an frustrated voice, "oh for the love of me, what is it now? I was in the middle of something!" He then turned to look at Thor with anger and annoyance in his voice and in his eyes.

"Oh it's you again brother....what gives you the right to just barge in and ruin the moment that I had with my lovely love...do tell me brother, what is it that you require of me....because it had better be good Thor or else I will make this meeting of ours....most unpleasant for you." Loki stood there looking down at Thor and waited for his brother to answer him, wondering why he so abruptly barged in to ruin his moment...

Thor frowned and crossed his arms, "why did you kidnap, Emma here?"

"K-Kidnap?!" Loki gasped, "I didn't kidnap her! I brought her to just be alone with her!"

"Oh is that so?" Thor said aloud with a suspicious and angry tone, stepping forward towards Loki and Emma, "if you just brought her here to be alone then why were you two about to kiss when I came in?"

"Because, we're inlove, brother!" Loki said.

Thor turned to Emma stunned and a bit of hurt in his eyes. Then back at Loki, "In love!" Thor yelled, "oh come now Loki you can't be serious...in love with a mere mortal who is a hero no less! You must be joking Loki, right?...please brother...tell me you aren't serious!" Thor pleaded, his eyes looking desperately at Loki.

Before Emma could respond, Loki cut her off.

"Oh brother dearest, when was the last time you knew me to joke about something? Because I think it's quite obvious that I am in love with Emma, and it is no surprise, she is a brave, beautiful and amazing woman, so I ask you my big blue eye idiot brother, why shouldn't I be in love with her?" Loki said with a challenging tone of voice, crossing his arms and looking directly at Thor, waiting for an answer from him.

Thor was speechless, he turned his head to the side, he thought about what Loki said and decided to ask him a question of his own, "oh is that so Loki? You're really in love with her?" He asked, still not believing Loki's statement.

Emma looked up at him, "....are you? Or are you just using me?"

"What?!" Loki said, "oh Emma...darling, my love, it pains me that you even have to ask me such a question, so please, my dear Phantom girl, let me put this simply for you, as simply as I can...I am not and never have been using you like a tool or a mere pawn, my love for you, is the truest thing that I have ever felt in my entire existence...I truly love you Emma, so do not let that doubting question cross your mind ever again."

Thor the left a "Ha!"

Loki looked over at Thor and asked with anger in his voice, "and what is it that you have to say now, huh? Come on, I want to hear what you have to say. It must be so important since you interrupted our moment together!"

"Oh nothing much, just laughing at the idea of you being in love with Emma, and how you claim it to be true...and let's not forget about the fact that you just said that YOU have the truest feelings for Emma, really Loki?" Thor said loudly, his voice filled with anger and disbelief in Loki and his statement, he didn't believe Loki at all.

"Thor, you're just jealous you can't make a move on her. Yeah I know you have a crush on her," Loki said, smirking.

Thor glared at Loki, clearly not happy with his brother, "oh and how would you know? I never told you anything about my feelings for her...so who were you spying on? Hmm?" Thor asked with a demanding tone.

"I can tell...just by that pathetic look on your face when you walked in on us almost kissing, oh brother, that look is priceless!" Loki said aloud, grinning from ear to ear.

Thor groaned in frustration and said, "oh come now! This is ridiculous! You cannot expect me to believe that you're actually in love with her! Besides, what's so special about her?"

"You tell me first, since you're inlove with her too," Loki said, and wiggled his brow at him.

Thor groaned, "oh that's not fair Loki! If you really have been spying on me, then why ask me...oh alright, you win! I....I do....love Emma" Thor had a defeated look on his face but now looked a bit more relaxed but still upset with Loki.

Thor groaned, "oh that's not fair Loki! If you really have been spying on me, then why ask me...oh alright, you win! I....I do....love Emma," Thor had a defeated look on his face, but now looked a bit more relaxed but still upset with Loki.

"See? I was right! You do love her like me! Oh isn't this so funny brother! We both love the same woman! How unfortunate....or is it?"

Thor turned red with anger, "oh just shut up Loki! This isn't funny! Why her? Why not someone else? Anyone else?"

"Oh is baby Thor upset I will steal her?" Thor asked, he then chuckled.

Thor glared at Loki and continued to stand there, "oh I'm not as upset as you would like me to be brother! I don't see you being very successful in your task of wooing Emma...what say you Loki?" Thor said in a mocking tone, looking directly at Loki with a sly smile on his face, he was really rubbing it in Loki's face and his victory by saying that he could woo her better than Loki ever could. "Besides, you're so darn immature for your age!" Thor added.

"Oh? Now I'm the immature one for my age? Now look who's talking Thor!" Loki said, looking at Thor, "come now brother! I know I'm not exactly known to be the most mature, but I'm clearly more mature than you!"

"Oh is that so, brother? You're clearly more mature than me? Oh that's so hilarious! Have you forgotten about all those pranks that you pulled? Oh come now, you've practically pulled over a million pranks in our lifetime Loki! How could you possibly be even close to as mature as me?" Thor said aloud with a smirk on his face.

"So you think you're so mature, huh? Well maybe I have my reasons to pull all those pranks! Maybe it's just because I wanted to get your attention brother! You never spent time with me or ever asked me to hang out with you back then!" Loki shouted, "Oh no, of course not! It was always Heimdall that you hung out with! Or it was Sif! Or what about all those times when you just left without telling me! You never took me with you, you know how painful that is to think about!"

"....or you were always wooing Valkyrie," Loki added, smirking.

Thor's face turned red and frowned at the mentioned of his old crush.

"Oh oh, is my big brother Thor turning into a big blushing baby after hearing her name? Come on Thor, you were always in love with her! I remember how you used to stare at her longingly! That was so hilarious!" Loki said, smiling from ear to ear as he began to laugh at his older brother's misfortune of not being with the woman he loved.

"Loki! That's enough out of you! I've had enough of you teasing me about my failed attempts to woo Lady Valkyrie! You're such a prick!" Thor yelled out as he clenched his fists, angry.

"Shut up! Just shut up Thor! I know I shouldn't have trusted her, I should've known better! I'm more than aware that she was a psychotic monster! So stop saying that she's my ex! Because she never meant a thing to me! Now would you kindly stop mentioning her name?!" Loki shouted with pure anger in his voice.

Thor smirked, "gee, I bet it so awkward you work under Doom and have to see Amora everywhere."

"Stop toying with me Thor! I swear to Odin! You make me want to rip your tongue out of your mouth, so would you please stop mocking me already?!" Loki yelled, "because I've had quite enough of you making fun of me and my situation with Doom!"

Thor chuckled, "oh come now Loki, don't take it so personal brother, I'm just messing with you, I'm just teasing you my dear brother, besides, now that you mention it, you really aren't the most responsible, you never were, why I remember this one time when you and I were kids and there was this huge ice storm outside and you somehow convinced me that it would be a great idea if we played out in the storm!" Thor said with a smirk on his face.

Loki gasped in fake shock, "oh how dare you! Are you really trying to accuse me of being irresponsible you big oaf?! Oh Thor, you forget, I was only a kid then, a kid who had no sense of right or wrong, that's not my fault my dear brother! And you're not exactly Mr. Perfectly Responsible!" Loki said in a dramatic tone.

"Guys, please. Stop fighting," Emma spoked up.

Loki and Thor turned to look at Emma, before Thor opened his mouth and said in a concerned tone, "oh I am sorry my dear Phantom Girl, but Loki and I have some 'unfinished matters' that need to be settled!"

"....please stop...you're both fighting because of me..."

"Oh alright...I apologize for the commotion my dear Phantom girl, I'm just so annoyed by him is all," Loki said, giving Thor a side eye look, making a point to give away his annoyance at Thor.

"...but is this true, Loki...you were with someone else?"

Loki's expression changed, "yes....I was with someone else in the past...but it was not of my own free will. Enchantress somehow took my sanity and controlled my mind, she is a succubus. She's a villain like Doom, but she's much worse than him. I don't know how, but she was even cruel enough to make me think that I loved her...now do you understand my hatred of being reminded of her name?" Loki said in a sad voice, he was being serious now.

She walked to him and pulled him into a hug. Loki was shocked to see her hug him, but then he wrapped his arms around her gently and hugged her back, he buried his face into the crook of her neck.

"Thank you my dear...it means so much to me that you have faith in me and that you are willing to stand by me...," Loki whispered softly into Emma's ear as they hugged each other.

"Seriously, Emma...I mean I know he saved you from Dr Doom, but you are certain he won't hurt you?" Thor asked. He looked up at his brother Loki.

Loki broke away from Emma and glared at his brother, "yes Thor, I would never dream of doing anything that would hurt her! How could you ever make me look so vicious and cruel? Don't you trust me brother? I have not harmed Emma, nor do I plan on it."

"There is maybe times you broke my trust, Loki. And I have seen your ways. What makes Emma different that you won't hurt her?" Thor asked.

"Because I love her, Thor! Can you really not see that?!" Loki said, his voice filled with anger at Thor still asking him if he would hurt Emma, he had been nothing but loving and gentle and kind and sweet to her. How could Thor, his own brother, ask him such a thing. "You doubt my love for her, just admit it Thor, you do...you think that my love could never be true and genuine, you think I see Emma as just another prize to be won, just another toy for me to play with. That's what you're thinking, isn't it Thor!?" Loki said, stepping towards Thor, his voice getting louder.

Thor looked at Loki, he had been surprised to see his brother be so defensive when it came to Emma, "I admit, that before, I had my doubts in you Loki, but now, seeing how you are behaving right now and how you look at Emma. I cannot deny it any longer, I can see how you truly care about her...how you love her...how she makes you happy...," he slowly said, admitting his doubts to Loki.

Loki looked at him, his face stunned with surprise, "you...you really believe me? You're not toying with me?...am I hearing you correctly brother!? You....you don't think for a second that my love is fake?!" He looked at Thor with hopeful eyes in his face.

"Yes brother...I can see that you truly, genuinely do love Emma...and I am happy for you...you are my brother Loki. Even when you were a mischievous little boy, you were still family to me, and family protects each other...," Thor said in a serious tone of voice, "I trust you Loki...I trust you to protect Emma and to care and provide for her...because I know you are the one for her."

Loki had a huge smile on his face after Hearing Thor say he trusted him and approved of his relationship with Emma. He stepped towards Thor and engulfed him in a brotherly hug as he exclaimed, "thank you brother! Oh this means so much to me! Oh I'm so very happy! I can't thank you enough!" Loki was grinning from ear to ear and Thor was actually smiling and hugging Loki too, for a few moments there was peace between the brothers.

Thor chuckled, "you're welcome....just...just promise me you will make her happy and protect her."

Loki pulled away from Thor and looked him directly in the eyes and said, "I will, I promise you, brother. I will make Emma the happiest woman in existence, I will see to it for the rest of my life, and I will gladly protect her and make sure she is always safe with me."

Thor smiled at Loki and said, "then it is settled Loki, I hope you and Emma will be happy together for many centuries to come, may you both spend an eternity of happiness with each other," he said, giving Loki a playful smirk, he was being happy and supportive of Loki now.

But deep down he was hurt. He liked...no loved Emma dearly. Ever since she first came to the Hellicarrier, he was speechless and weak by just looking at her. They were so close, but here she was happy with Loki. She was about to kiss him and Thor was not brave enough to do that.

Loki looked at Thor, seeing his mixed emotions written all over his expression, he could see that Thor was clearly feeling some pain at the fact that Emma chose him over him. Loki gave Thor a warm yet sad smile and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, "I am sorry brother, I truly did not know that you also shared such strong emotions for Emma. I hope you may soon find your true love," he said softly to Thor.

Thor gave a sad sigh and gave his brother a small smile and said, "it is alright Loki, I promise I don't hate you for gaining Emma's love, I just wish I had the same chance as you do, that's all," he looked at Loki with sympathy in his gaze, "please do take good care of her, I know you will, now I really do wish you the best of luck in your future with Emma. Make her happy Loki...that's all I ask of you, brother."

Loki have him one last smile and whispered, "I will, I swear on all nine realms, Thor," before he turned towards Emma and took her hand into his, "come my dear, I would like to speak with you in private," Loki said to her, smiling lovingly at her.

Thor watched them leave as Emma and Loki left. Thor sighed and left going back to the city.

Loki escorted Emma to an empty room in the facility, it was a small room, but it seemed peaceful. Loki turned towards Emma and cupped her face with his hands and whispered, "now my lovely Emma, may I ask a quick question please?" He asked with a small hint of nervousness in his tone.

"What is it Loki?" Emma asked.

"I was wondering...if it would be quite all right if I could give you your first kiss now?...that is if it's fine with you of course. There is no need to be shy my darling, you can just shake your head and I will stop" Loki asked, his voice had a hint of hope in it as he gave Emma a charming smile.

Emma blushed dark red, she wanted to, but she was so shy.

Loki saw Emma's face turn red and smiled at her and said, "oh what's wrong my dear? Am I scaring you darling? Come now, there's no need to be afraid, I promise I won't hurt you, I'm just like a fluffy kitten, completely harmless," he said softly, giving Emma's red face a quick peck on the cheek with his lips.

"You're not scaring me...I'm just...so shy." Emma replied.

Loki chuckled softly and said, "oh so you are feeling shy my dear? Well I suppose I'll let you decide when you wish to share your first kiss with me then," He gave her a sweet smile and gently caressed her cheek with his hand, "I want you to do whatever is best for yourself, so if you want me to wait, I will wait. All I wish is to see you happy Emma," He said softly, giving her a sweet and loving smile.

"...maybe on my cheek first?" She asked.

Loki grinned when he heard Emma tell him that he could kiss her on the cheek, he got close to her, leaning in for a loving kiss and gently planted his lips on the same cheek he kissed just mere seconds ago, this kiss wasn't a short peck like the first one, this one was long, lasting around 2 whole minutes, it was passionate, sensual and loving, as Loki had closed his eyes and pressed his lips onto Emma's cheek as if they were meant to always stay like this.

Emma blushed dark red. She closed her eyes trying to enjoy it, but in her mind she heard Doom's voice.

Loki finally pulled away from Emma's cheek and looked down at her, he was smiling and looked at her face deeply, "well my darling, what do you think? Was it all that you have imagined it'd be? It was certainly everything I had imagined it would be," he said softly, tilting Emma's head to make it so that they looked into each other's eyes.

"Uh....um....," she didn't know how to respond, but she heard Doom's voice again.

Loki frowned at Emma's expression and asked, "Emma are you alright? You don't look so well, please tell me what's the matter," he said with worry as he tried to comfort her.

"You...you don't hear him?"

Loki looked at her confusedly and asked, "hear who dear Emma? I can't hear anyone else but you. Did you hear someone?...did someone say something rude?" He asked, worried and confused.

"You don't hear D-Doom?"

Loki widened his eyes in surprise and gasped, "Wait, Dr Doom is here!?...are you saying that you heard him just now?" He asked, his eyes darting around the room, desperately trying to see where Dr Doom was hiding.

But he couldn't see or hear him. Emma heard his voice again. She shivered and hugged Loki.

Loki hugged her, holding her tightly in his arms, "it's alright Emma, it's alright, I'm here now. I won't let Doom hurt you," he whispered softly in her ear and began to gently rub her back in circles in order to comfort and calm her down.

Soon she calmed down and she looked up at Loki. "Thank you. You're my best friend, Loki."

Emma lifted her hand to his face and caressed his cheek.

Loki gave her a small yet sweet smile, his heart skipped a beat when he heard her call him her best friend and when he felt her gently touch his cheek, he placed his hand over hers and said, "it's no trouble at all my love, I'll always be here for you my darling."

Loki was glad that he was able to soothe her worries, he was about to move in for a kiss, but stopped last minute and decided to kiss her forehead instead. He felt a bit nervous, but at the same time, his heart was pounding in his chest. He just hopes that Emma didn't notice how nervous he was, but he couldn't deny, this feeling of love he had for her was unlike anything he had ever had before.
