Meeting you in the tower when he and Thor come to Earth after Asgard is destroyed.
You’re an Avenger but you joined after the incident in New York so you didn’t have as much bias as the others on the team; unlike the others, you’re very friendly towards Loki and he is taken aback by it so doesn’t respond to it straight away.
Whenever he was in the tower, he would make an effort to spend time with you.
Though he’d deny it vehemently if anyone ever commented on it.
Loki finding himself enjoying some of his days on Midgard because you would be around him and he’d almost forget what he’d done in the past- you’d make him feel like maybe he could be redeemed… Maybe he deserved to be loved.
Thor would notice how happy you’d make his brother and smile whenever he’d see you snuggle up to Loki.
Realising that maybe he was more attached to you than he initially thought he was.
…He was in love.
Loki definitely denied it at first- partly because he hated the feeling of being vulnerable and partly because he knew that as soon as his brother and his hero friends found out, their comments would be relentless.
[“Are you going to come out with us drinking later, brother? The team thought it would be a good bonding experience.”
“I can’t.”
“Hm? Do you have other plans? Or are you being anti social again?”
“I have plans, Thor.”
“With Y/N.”
“Y-Yes. Now-”
“-You like Y/N, don’t you?”
“Everyone does- Y/N is delightful.”
“No, you’re in love with her.”
“… Shut up.”]
Loki hated the fact that this was something Thor could hold over him; he regretted giving it away so easily. How could the God of Lies not lie about something as simple as a crush?
Making him smile and laugh all the time.
Enjoying flirting with him, but most of the time you end up more flustered because Loki is so smooth and charming.
Despite the fact that, with anyone else, he wouldn’t care about Midgardian culture, he loves hearing you talk. He lets you show him your favourite shows and films; he doesn’t want to admit it but some of your recommendations -like songs and literature- he genuinely enjoys.
Getting flustered when you’d snuggle with him on a movie night.
Loki having pet names for you (like ‘love’ and ‘darling’); Loki having to hide the fact he adores it when you reciprocate with your own pet names for him.
Often having ‘sleepovers’ in each others rooms.
It started after you heard Loki having nightmares and went into his room to help him. Eventually, it just became a tradition: staying in each others’ rooms.
He’d tell you about Asgard: about his mother, and his true heritage.
The Avengers eventually finding out that he loves you and teasing him because of it.
Finding out about it from the Avengers after you over hear them talking loudly and confronting Loki about it because… Because you love him too and can’t believe it.
[“Loki?”
“Hm? Yes, darling?”
“Can I ask you about something?”
“Yes? Is something wrong? Has anyone hurt you?”
“No, no… Nothing like that. It’s.. It’s just that I heard the team talking about you- about us-”
“-Y/N-”
“-Loki, do you love me?”
“…Yes.”
“I love you too.”]
Loki being amazed that you love him too. Kissing him passionately, and him eventually kissing back.
