- you had known about Hela for about as long as you had known Thor and Loki
- they mentioned her often
- Loki never admitted it to anyone but you, but he admired her so much
- from what you understood, Thor was a little bit of the odd one out
- perhaps because Loki and Hela had a bit more of a rough history with Odin that Thor simply couldn’t relate to, as much as he tried
- but it was easy to see that the three love and care for each other fiercely
- even though she was always not with them
- off doing something or other
- they never exactly mentioned that particular information
- and you never asked for it
- but when, one day, they mentioned Hela was coming for a visit
- you were a little nervous
- you knew she was the goddess of death
- and for some reason, you felt a little nervous meeting the sister of two of your closest friends
- especially with how highly Loki always seemed to talk about her
- he assured you you didn’t have to do anything special
“Just be yourself, she’ll like you because we like you.” “If you say so…”
- all the same, you dressed in one of your nicer outfits
- and oof were you glad that you did
- you weren’t sure what you were expecting, when the goddess of death came swaggering in
- but you certainly weren’t expecting your tiny little gay heart to go boom boom woosh
- you honestly stared a little bit
- more than you should have
- but when you noticed the awkward silence, you shook your head to clear your mind
- and stuck your hand out to shake hers and introduce yourself
no you didn’t notice how soft her hands wereor the way her lips curled when she smirked and said hello- you honestly felt a little warm
- had someone turned the heat up in the compound
- at one point, you caught Loki’s eye
- and he narrowed his gaze
- and then got that little expression of recognition
- and as you excused yourself to go back to what you’d been doing
- stumbling over your words all the while
- Loki followed you
- all but cornering you once you got back to your room
“Y/N, you have a crush on my sister.”
- not a question, not an exclamation
- just a stating of, what seemed to him to be, a blaringly obvious fact
- a fact you tried desperately to cover up
“No…?” “Y/N, I know that look anywhere, yes you do.” “….maybe I do.” “On my sister.” “Sh!” “The goddess of death.” “Sh!” “Who could kill you if she wanted to?” “And I would thank her for it with my dying breath.” “…..” “Did I really just say that out loud?” “Unfortunately, yes.”
