[Well, he certainly hit a sore subject.]

My apologies. It was a bad attempt at a joke, nothing more. I know you are quite capable. And I'll have you know, I am not so little. But if I haven't put my foot too far into my mouth, you just may find that out.

That does sound lovely. And rest assured, I will bring the best scotch. Definitely something to savour, no shots required.

I can find you, yes. I shall be there shortly.]


[Shortly indeed. There's a knock at her door within moments.]

[If anything, Loki would be surprised to hear she’s got any confidence issues. Then again, there are people who might think the same of him.]

It wasn’t a fully conscious thought, showing up so quickly. It is simply just that Loki is able to be pretty much anywhere and any when he wants almost instantly. And really, he cannot imagine Natasha ever looking anything other than her best. She is just naturally beautiful like that.

When she opens the door, he is far from disappointed. He smiles back as she leans against the doorframe. “I don’t know, you look pretty comfortable to me.” There’s a slight teasing note in his voice, but it’s not about her and more to do with the idea that she might need to get all dressed up for him. Or dressed down as the case may be.

He enters at her gesture. He’s dressed rather casually himself. Simple black slacks and a light green sweater. He kicks off his simple slip on shoes and walks barefoot into her living area, admiring the apartment as he goes. Stopping in front of the fireplace, he turns back to Natasha with a smile and pulls a rather expensive bottle of scotch out seemingly from nowhere. “It’s an 18 year old single malt. I do hope this will suffice.”

There was a time when Loki might have taken advantage of something like that, if he were given the opportunity. He doesn’t expect that Natasha would have trusted him with anything back then though. Now though, he doesn’t need her to be anything but herself. If she chooses to show him a particular mask, there isn’t much he can do about it, but he doesn’t think it’s necessary either. He doesn’t presume to think he’ll ever have the chance to know her quite so well, nor is it likely she’ll ever know him the same way (though he no longer minds who knows him or does not). It’s more about not wanting to overwhelm anyone with what he’s been up to. Natasha has already made it more than clear that she doesn’t want to know, and he will respect that.

One thing Loki has learned from being able to watch all the timelines is that this really isn’t something Natasha does often. Forget the make-up and outfit change, Loki is honoured that she would even let her into her home. He’s not sure what he’s said to have her open up, even this much, but he’s glad he did. Perhaps she simply just believed him.

Oh, he very much likes the idea of that.

“I think I would like to start with the fireplace. I’ve always enjoyed a nice fire. And yes, I do, but it does not cause me any discomfort if you have a preference.” He wonders just how much Thor told his friends about why Loki was the way he was. And he’ll ask her just that, once he’s had a drink first.

If she ever decides to ask him about it again, he might be willing to let her in, though he doubts he would give her all the details. At least not right away. It really was a rather complex story and he’s not sure he has the strength to go through it all. Besides, it seems they’re both here out of curiosity and for a want of a little companionship. He hardly wants to ruin the mood with the more recent details of his life.

“Thank you,” he replies as he sits himself down in front of the fire. He stretches out his legs towards the fireplace and crosses his legs at the ankle as he waits for her. Taking the glass from her when she returns, he smells the liquor first, a wonderful aroma wafting up from the glass causing him to close his eyes in delight. “Yes, I imagine this is the perfect spot for reading. I used to enjoy a similar pastime when I was younger.”

He’s a little surprised when she tucks herself in against him, but he tries not to show it. He is aware of what they had been discussing over the messages and what there plans were here tonight, and yet. He relaxes almost instantly though and even puts his free arm around her as he sips lightly at his drink. He can’t help but notice how well she fits at his side.

“The first time I realized I had a true friend.” He doesn’t even need to think about it. Friendship wasn’t something that had come easily to him before that, but Mobius had changed everything. “As you can imagine, I was not a popular person for most of my life. It is only recently I have found true friendship in my life. It changed everything.”

It would surprise him to know he was getting to see a side of her almost no one saw. As much as he’s changed, that is not something she has witnessed or even knew might have happened until this night. When he’d messaged a number of the Avengers earlier, he’d expected nothing. He just took it for an opportunity to apologize and thought that they all would likely not believe him and that would be that.

But to be here, now, with Natasha clearly trusting hi and leaning up against him? He feels almost proud. Though it did not seem like it at the time, he’s sure, Loki has always had a lot of respect for Natasha. She is the only one who really challenged him and though it was under less than ideal circumstances, that has always stuck with him.

“I don’t know if what I typically read can be called trash, but I must say I understand what it does for you. I used to practice magic for that purpose. Even going over old spells I did not need to think about anymore to perform let my mind relax enough to figure most anything out. I do agree that reading is quite relaxing though.” He likes the image that conjures up of her. Sitting much as she is now, really. Casual, relaxed and more beautiful than she actually seems to realize, though he’s aware she knows well enough about her own looks. What he sees now is really much more than that.

He blinks in surprise at the soft touch of her lips to his neck. Again, it isn’t as if he isn’t aware of their plans for the night, but somehow having it actually play out is still surprising him. As she speaks, he looks at her, really looks at her, with a small smile on his face, intrigued by her as always. “We are nothing without our friends.” His voice is equally soft, his eyes searching her face as moves to kneel and face him.

He can’t help but tilt into her touch, pressing back ever so slightly against each touch and kiss. Loki looks her back fully in the eye just before she leans and he smiles, a true and honest smile. That is not something he was fully capable of the last time they were in the same room together. He magicks his drink to the table and wraps his arms around her, gently sliding his hands down her back as his eyes close. He presses back into the kiss, keeping it chaste for the moment, simply enjoying the feeling of her lips on his.

It might not be visible on first glance, but Loki’s walls are coming down as well. Of course, Natasha has always been able to see through him anyway. It’s a talent of hers he’s always admired. Most people, he’s found, don’t pay much attention to anything outside of their personal orbit. It’s a rare find when you come across someone who can see more than that. Natasha is definitely one of those people.

His hands slide down, landing on her his as she straddles him. His eyes roam up, locking onto hers as he smiles. She truly is beautiful and he knows how lucky he is to get to see her like this. He knows how hard it can be to let people in, not when you’ve spent your life building them up, keeping people out. They might be deeply different people, but that is one thing they definitely have in common. Perhaps it is why should could read him so well. Who knows? Perhaps sometime he will ask her.

As the kiss deepens, he doesn’t break eye contact. He’s not hiding anything from her now and she should be able to see attraction, surprise and just a bit of amusement in his eyes. He even likes that she’s taking control, might even prefer it, at least for now. He slides his tongue back against hers, twirling them together, a soft sigh escaping him at the feel of it. When she nips at his lip, he gasps slightly before huffing out a soft laugh. Then they’re kissing again and he has the idle thought that he never wants to stop.

There really is nothing more attractive than someone who knows what they want and just goes for it. Right now, that is exactly how he’s perceiving her. He’s still a little surprise that her want is directed at him after everything he’s done. There’s more to this, he’s sure. There has to be some reason why she’s opening up to him, why she wants him like this. Not that he’s complaining, but Loki has always been curious by nature.

“You can taste my magic?” He’s genuinely intrigued by that concept. He doesn’t think it’s something he’s ever had anyone tell him before, though it has been quite awhile since he bedded anyone and he’s unsure he’s ever bedded a human. Maybe it was a human thing, or just a Natasha thing. Either way, he likes the idea of it. He laughs then, enjoying her admission if only because he has one of his own. “The feeling was mutual. Especially after you tricked me. That is quite rare. I wanted you very much that night.”

His hands slide from her hips to her thighs as she runs her hands over his chest. He arches into her touch, his hands once again moving up her body as the drape falls to the floor. “Would it surprise you if I told you I have thought of you often?”

The fact is, Loki might not be able to stop talking to her after this. He’s only met one person before who could read him so well, who knew how to get to the heart of him and expose him, and he’s his best friend now. Even if this is a one off in terms of sex, Natasha may have just earned herself a new friend, whether she likes it or not.

With how this is going so far though, he really hopes this isn’t a one off. He already knows he’ll have difficulty not wanting her again. It’s like because they can read each other so well, it’s making all of this much more intense, heightening the pleasure he’s already feeling. He’s quickly discovering that he’s not just physically attracted to her, but as she pushes herself into his lap further, she’ll at least be able to feel one of those.

Loki has never heard his magic described in such a way before. Many have been impressed by his abilities before, even when they did not like how he used them, but having someone actually be able to sense it is new and wonderful and unlike anything he ever thought possible. For once, Loki is rendered speechless, at least in terms of an adequate response.

In return, Loki is finding he cannot help but be attracted to her strength and intelligence. It practically rolls off her in waves. How she may look on the outside delicate and feminine, he can see the truth of her, how she has built herself up from a past that no one should ever have had to endure. He doesn’t know all the details, but is aware that she has a dark past. In part, as he had journeyed along his own path of redemption, he had modelled himself after her. Even the brief time they had known each other before, it had shown him that he could still be himself and be good. That combined with having people around him that believed he could change as well really improved his life.

As she moves, her mouth drawing goose-flesh from every inch it touched, his grip tightens on her thighs as he attempts not to rock up against her. He wants to, he very much wants to, but he’s trying not to appear overly desperate. He grins when she speaks, a small shiver running through him as her warm breath ghosts over his ear. “If it had not been for my illusionary magic, you and your friends might have seen more of me than you would’ve liked that first night. Of course, maybe you would have very much liked to see that.” There’s a note of teasing in his voice, but it is purely playful.

He easily moves to allow her to remove his shirt before sliding his hands up her body to cup at her breasts, his eyes slowly dragging up her body to make eye contact again. He almost laughs, a small huff of breath the only sign of his amusement. “I am glad you think so. I have always thought he was much too muscular, but that is the fashion for Asgard.” Loki doesn’t much compare himself to Thor anymore. He’s come to realize that not everyone wants blond and muscle bound, not that he doesn’t work on keeping himself fit as well. “But please, enough about my brother. I would rather not think of him right now.”

With that, he leans in and licks gently over one of her nipples before sucking it softly into his mouth, hoping that this time it will be her making some noises.

With each lingering kiss, Loki cares less and less about the why. He’s sure he’ll want to examine this again later, it would be weird if he didn’t. It wasn’t like he wasn’t known for vastly overthinking things… and usually coming to an incorrect conclusion. He thinks maybe this time that won’t happen though. Natasha is one of the few people that could pull something over on him, but he very much doubts that is what is happening here. And even if he is wrong about that, well at least he’ll always have this moment.

That is something Loki wholeheartedly disagrees with. Natasha is definitely someone people should look up to and model themselves after. She is the epitome of redemption and change. He knows that there’s darkness in her past, most of which he doubts is a choice she made. Though he also knows that likely doesn’t matter. Guilt is a strange thing, after all. The fact remains though, no matte what she did in her past, she has spent a long time now trying to correct that. And that is definitely something Loki can identify with.

Natasha is typically very good at hiding what she truly thinks and feels, but Loki is also very good at seeing through masks himself. He hasn’t yet felt her wetness, but he can sense it. There is something in her eyes and in the way she moves that lets him know just how much she wants this. He, on the other hand, isn’t bothering to hide his desire at all. He knows it’s bleeding off him in waves, even if the hardness in his pants wasn’t evidence enough.

He huffs out an amused and sultry laugh at her words. “I am afraid I have not been a prince for quite some time now.” He can’t help but say it even if he thinks she’s teasing him anyway. “But to answer your question, I had a few thoughts that night. One concerned you kneeling willingly to me with that lovely mouth of yours wrapped around my cock.” He stops then for a moment, dragging his thumb across her bottom lip as he remembered the fantasy. He no longer cares for submission, at least not in the way he had wanted it then, but it still makes for a lovely mental image.

Gods, the way she reacts to his touch is better than any fantasy he ever could have dreamed up. All lithe muscle and sex appeal, she is more than he ever expected and everything he’s ever wanted. Her skin is so soft under his touch, he thinks maybe he would like to touch her like this forever. He could spend days simply dancing his fingers over every inch of her, learning what she likes most. When her fingers find his nipples in return, he gasps and groans, puffing warm breath over the hard nub of her own. He sucks it into his mouth again, gently rolling his tongue around it.

Her voice is like music to his ears. He does not need to be asked twice as his teeth come down around the nipple already in his mouth. Not too hard but definitely not what you might think of as gentle either. His hands slide back around to her lower back before drifting down to grab her ass. He pulls her forward, rocking against her. There’s no maybe’s now. She’ll definitely feel just how hard he is for her.

For Loki, none of that matters. It’s in what she actually does, not what she wants to do that really makes a person. In fact, just that she can control herself at all is something he admires. How could he not? Loki spent much of his youth unable to do just that and he knows exactly how much trouble it caused him and those around him. And it isn’t like Loki is a stranger to enjoying similar things. He always favoured his daggers for a reason, even though he knows his magic is much more powerful.

She is correct about that. In fact he thinks it shows her strength. That she is not simply a killer, that she doesn’t let that rule her life is truly something Loki would like to learn from. He has, of course, learned much himself in recent years. He has changed a lot, no longer filled with anger and resentment especially now he has a higher purpose, but he could never imagine looking down on someone for not being the same. He doesn’t want her to be the same. He likes Natasha exactly as she is and there is not much he thinks would change that.

At her words, her yells of passion, Loki does exactly that and bites and sucks harder, possibly bruising her, but gods, the way she moves against him and screams his name has him losing control. He’s starting to let his baser instincts take over and he can only hope he doesn’t go too far. He pulls back, bringing her breast with him for a moment as he sucks hard while pealing back from her. Glancing up at her, he smiles lasciviously, his eyes dark with lust. “Then you shall get exactly that.”

He gasps and groans slightly as her fingers deftly dance over the sensitive head of his cock causing him to rock his hips forward. He can practically smell her arousal by now and it’s driving him insane. It doesn’t help (or hurt) that he can now feel her wetness as well as she rocks more fully against him. “I do not wish to wait.” It’s all he says before a wave of green washes over them and they find themselves naked and in her bedroom, her still straddling him but now they are on her bed.

Truly he would understand if she never did. He still doesn’t truly see himself as most people think of him. He never thought himself evil when he was attacking New York, and he doesn’t think of himself as good, even as he fought tooth and nail to save the multiverse with his friends. Really, he is just Loki and she is just Natasha and they are going through their lives as best they can. Sometimes they get it wrong, but he thinks more and more now, they are starting to get it right.

Hope. It is still a very new thing to Loki, but she’s right in that assessment. He feels a lot of hope, especially after everything he’s been through lately. If someone like him, someone who has taken pleasure in killing and the pain of other people can come out of it, can come through to the other side and have a second chance, then he sees no reason why she should not have the same opportunity. In fact, he would guess that she deserves it even more than he ever did. Perhaps that is why he feels so hopeful when it comes to her.

He might try and deny it later, but when she tells him he’s good it sends a pleasant shiver all through his body. It makes him feel warm and good and like he’s really doing something right. He’s been getting that more lately. Has people he knows think of him in a good light even when their relationships didn’t start off so sunny. But to hear it from Natasha, from someone who actually knew him during the darkest time of his life, it fills him with an almost overwhelming feeling of pride and joy. It makes him want to please her even more.

“Normally I am more about taking things slowly, but perhaps we can save that for next time.” Truth is, he couldn’t help himself. Never in a million years had he thought he would have this opportunity and now that he has it, he can’t seem to hold himself back. He wants her almost desperately now, feels a deep need to thrust into her and bring her more pleasure than she has ever experienced before. Of course, he has no idea if he can ever manage something so grand, but it is exactly what he hopes to accomplish.

The heat coming from between her legs as she presses around him, not yet taking him but allowing him to feel her, how wet she is as she moves against him. It is one of the best feelings he can remember. His own hips begin to move in response, pressing against her as she moves her hips, rolling them, teasing him.

He groans against her lips as she kisses him lightly. “I have never wanted someone so much in my life. Everything about you is desirable and more than anything, I wish to sheath myself deep inside you and fuck you until you forget your name and can no longer see straight.”

Her reaction makes him wonder if he’s said something wrong. It’s like a surprise to her that he likes to take things slowly. Or at least that is what he assumes. For a long time Loki put on a mask, actually many masks, but all for one purpose, to not let anyone know what he was truly feeling inside. He was mean and snarky and devious. He pushed everyone away because it was so much easier to be what they all already thought than to let anyone in, to let them see his vulnerabilities, of which there were many.

The truth of it was, Loki felt everything rather deeply. When he was younger and he saw Odin treating Thor differently, he was jealous and confused. He didn’t understand why he couldn’t be more like Thor and even when he tried it was never good enough. That had hurt much more deeply than he really could express, even if he had always been rather emotional. His mother, the thought, she saw the truth, she knew how he hurt, and she had tried, in her own way, to make him feel better. Well, she tried everything but the one thing he thought truly would have helped. Telling him the truth. It had clearly worked for Sylvie. She might have ended up in a similar headspace as he had, but it had nothing to do with Odin and Frigga because she knew. In that time line they had told her.

Sometimes he wondered if that was her true Nexus event. Sad as that may be.

Whatever the reasoning, Loki could very much identify with Natasha on the family part. He knew that at some point in what could have been his future, he would make up with Thor, but really, from the moment he’d found out about his adoption he’d felt even more alone. He’d always known that there was something wrong with him. That he didn’t fit, that he was looked down on by everyone, family included. Even with that knowledge, he’d never expected to be so angry when he’d turned out to be right.

It wasn’t until Mobius that he’d found his own family, the way Natasha found the Avengers. It was the first time he’d ever felt truly accepted in his life. Perhaps this was another reason why he felt so close with Natasha now.

But those were all thoughts for another time because at the moment he could think of nothing else but how it felt to have her slide down over him, engulfing his cock smoothly. As she took all of him in, it was all he could do not to simply thrust up into her. And he would do that, but for the moment he wanted to enjoy the feel of her wet heat enveloping him.

His cock twitched inside her as he felt her tighten around him. His hands came to rest on her hips, gripping her tightly as he huffed out a bit of a breathless laugh. “Your wish is my command, m’lady.” There was some humour in his tone, but he couldn’t keep the desire out of it either. He leaned into to kiss her again as he used his strength to lift her, causing her to slide back up before he thrust up and brought her down, fucking into her hard and fast.

He set a steady and strong pace, wanting her to be able to feel him into next week.

Loki would be fascinated to hear about what the blip did to some of his former enemies. At very least, the story of Clint’s life would give Loki reason to hope that there were people out there, aside from Natasha it seems, who could forgive him. He might actually find himself worrying about Clint. Although not under great circumstances (to say the very least) Loki actually knows the archer rather well. He’s one of the few he hasn’t actually tried to apologize to yet. He saw him on the forum he’d reached out to Natasha on, but, honestly, had chickened out. But knowing that he had reacted in a much similar way to himself might make Loki feel better about trying again.

Until he’d met Mobius, Loki had not had that person. Even that friendship took time and effort before Loki could trust or be trusted in return. No one is more surprised than he that Natasha seems to be in the same realm. Even when he’d decided to reach out to the Avengers and apologize, there had been no expectation that he would be believed or forgiven. But to have found someone who not only has forgiven him, but seems to connect with him is more than he ever could have hoped for.

Perhaps another time he would want that view (and quite a lovely view he’s sure it is), but this time he appreciates the closeness. It almost feels needed. Like he can’t imagine it being any other way. It isn’t often that Loki feels close to people, but there was an instant closeness with Natasha that he hopes he’s not imagining because just this small taste has him craving more.

He wraps his arms around her as they move together, enjoying the feeling of her pressed and sliding against him just as much the feel of him sliding inside her. She is absolutely stunning, the way she’s moves on and around him. It feels almost as if they could meld together. He feels almost stunned with the pleasure of it all as she tightens around him, calling his name. His hands slide back down to her hips, holding onto her as he drives harder and faster into her as she comes.

It’s an image he will not soon forget.

His cock is still hot and hard inside her as she comes down. He laps up the praise, hoping she’s telling the truth while simultaneously not caring so long as she keeps talking like that. It’s been a long time since he’s gotten laid, so really it was entirely possible she had faked it, though he didn’t think that was the case here.

“Do not worry,” he says, voice just slightly breathless as he smiles a bit mischievously at her. “I have no intention of stopping.” With that, he quickly flips them so that she is on her back and resumes fucking her. It’s still a hard steady pace, but he slows it down a bit, needing to feel himself fill her up with each long stroke.
