I'm Not Bad {Loki x Reader}

chapter three - garden

It was fairly early when you woke up. Light was already brightly shining in through your windows, it hurt your eyes a bit though. It had been about two or three weeks of you and Loki spending time together. You've already gotten quite close and comfortable with each other in this short time. It was just so easy to talk to him, he really listened and valued you. Something you were sorta new to. You could tell he was getting comfortable and trusting of you as well, he told you some of his secret hiding places. You felt as though, you had some special bond together, that you've never had with anyone else before, you've always had a bond with Thor, but there was something different about this one. It was nice.

Finally sitting up, you stretched your arms and got out of bed. You were pretty lucky with your room, it had an ensuite so it was easier for when you wanted to have longer showers. Today was one of those days. You grabbed whatever you needed for your shower, then made your way into the bathroom.

After your 45 minute (maybe even longer) shower, you wrapped yourself in a towel and did your skincare routine, once done you came back into your room. You weren't really in the mood to do your hair, or anything yet so you stayed in your towel and left your hair. You knew you didn't have plans this morning, and decided to get some reading done. You picked up your favorite book off your bedside table and began to read.

But there was a knock at your door. You sighed. You just can't seem to get a moment of peace and quiet sometimes. Placing your book down on the bed, you got up and headed to the door, dreading what could possibly be on the other side. Slowing opening the door, you peeked your head from the side.

Not to your surprise, it was Thor.

"Good morning Y/N." he started, not noticing that you were in a towel. "I'd like for you to accompany me on a walk in the garden!" his voice was so loud. How could he already have so much energy so early in the morning, especially since he was drunk again last night. You rubbed your temple, trying to process just his existence. You loved Thor to death, but he could be a bit much at times.

"Uh.. yeah sure." you replied. He basically interrupted you, thankfully you finished what you were saying anyway.

"I brought Loki with! Since you two are now friends!" he almost shouted, pushing his brother out from behind him like a shy child. He then patted Loki on the back with a rather large grin spreading across his face. Loki's eyes went a bit wide, and his cheeks were slightly pink. Quickly he looked away. You were so distracted by Thor and his nonsense, you completely forgot you were only wearing a towel. Honestly you didn't care that much if it was just Thor, he's your best friend. But Loki, you weren't even sure if he considered you his friend yet. You were so flustered and unsure of what to do. Slam the door? Hide? Just die?

During your moment of panic, Thor finally noticed the whole issue and started dying of laughter, hitting his brother's back.

"Brother, it's only a towel! You can't see anything!" Thor cried out. This just made you more embarrassed, this was horrible. Loki did look back, and made eye contact. His expression wasn't all cute and flustered anymore, it was like a blank stare. How the hell. Was it some sort of illusion, or is he just that good at hiding his emotions? You'd never truly know.

"Sorry Y/N, I'll wait for you to get ready." he said, about to leave but was yanked back by Thor. Rolling his eyes, he shot a glare at him. You laughed.

"I'll go get ready now." you announced, then slammed the door as fast as you could. Taking a deep breath, you attempted to collect your thoughts. You failed. Loki had just seen you in a towel. It wasn't that big of a deal, but it made you feel all funny inside. You wondered how he felt about it. What did he think?

No. What am I doing, he doesn't care..

Even though you knew you shouldn't be thinking like this, you couldn't lie to yourself, he's very attractive. So was it that wrong? Finally pushing your thoughts aside you got ready.
