In Silence (Book 1) || Loki X Reader

Chapter 8: Your idea

"Hey, kid..." He started but you kept your gaze stuck on the street. "Look, I didn't mean to act like that. It was not at all a way to react and I am so sorry."

You didn't respond immediately. You let the deadly silence to completely cover your room until the only sound you could hear was the clock ticking on the wall. You then turned your head and faced Tony who was looking at you with a desperate look. He was really sorry, you could tell, and in the end you realised you weren't really mad at him. You were mostly mad at yourself. How could you compare the man that saved you with a drunk and abusive bastard?

You tried to speak but tears filled your eyes once again. You quickly got up and run to Tony's arms without saying a word. He hugged you tight and you stayed like this for a few minutes.

"I'm sorry." You finally managed to speak.

"I already said it first, you can't steal my glory." Tony said and you laughed wiping some tears off of you cheeks. "But just so you know my answer is still no."

You tried to protest but Tony cut you before you could say a word. He smiled gently and gave you a kiss on the forehead before he left your room.

You sighed and wander a little around your room. You looked a round for a minute and decided to read a book to relax. You browse a little in your bookshelf but you couldn't find anything that interested you, so you thought to finally pay a visit in this library Tony had told you about.

You got out of your room a started on Loki's door for a moment before walking down the corridor and entering the living room. You hopped that no one would really want to talk to you and that you would go unnoticed but this sadly was not the case.

"Y/n!" Clint shouted once he saw you.

"Hey." You gave him an awkward smile. Thankfully it was only him, Bucky and Thor in the living room at the time.

"How is your wound?" Bucky asked.

"Yes, shouldn't you be resting or something?" Clint added.

"I am fine." You smiled at them. You were indeed telling the truth, your wound may hurt a little but other than that it was fine.

"Well then we are going to watch a movie, wanna join?" Bucky told you.

"Well..." You looked at the TV. It was on Netflix and stopped on a movie that made you question a lot of things; The Fault in Our Stars. What exactly they thought the movie was? "You are watching this?" You pointed on the TV.

They all looked at the TV and then Bucky and Clint turned back at you in panic.

"No, no, this is...Clint's!" Bucky quickly said and Clint looked at him with a deadly look. You laughed and shook your head.

"Well I would love to but I'd rather not."

"What are you going to do then?" Clint asked.

"Go to the library." Both Clint and Bucky looked at you and then at each other. "Big room. Lots of shelves with books on them..." You laughed and turned towards the elevator.

The doors closed and a minute later they opened again to reveal the library. You were always fascinated by it; a whole floor full of books, stories and new worlds waiting for you to dive into. Since you were a kid the books in your library were your only escape from your reality.

You stepped into the library and started wandering around the bookshelves. So many good stories, waiting for you to read them and so many worlds waiting for you to explore them. The silence in that room was also a favorite thing of yours, no one really came here so you had the whole place to yourself. You took a book off of a shelf and moved to the furthest corner of the library to start reading but to your surprise you were not alone in the room. Behind a bookshelf, in another corner, the God of Mischief was sitting on a couch with a book in his hand, of course. The meeting was really unexpected and it quite scared you making you drop the book on the floor. You slowly picked it up and then got back up to look at Loki.
