19 please xxx
19. You’re Satan.
AU world
Natasha walked around the small bar greeting everybody. It was halloween and her and Clint were hosting a small costume contest at their bar. Some familiar faces looking not familiar at all under layers of elaborate makeup. Others just didn’t put much effort or could pull off their characters without need for special effects. 
So far she’d seen 3 zombies, 4 cops and 2 zombie cops... However that concept had come to be. 
The prize for the best costume was huge. The usuals had gathered enough hype and buzz that the bar was at max capacity and during the days leading up to the event, people had put money towards the big contest. From as little as a buck to a couple one hundred bills, the costume contest jar was bigger than the tip jar in just a weekend, and now the pool was at a whopping 2 grand and a Saturday of free drinks for the winner and 3 friends – some restrictions apply – so it was no surprise some people had gone all out to win the big jackpot. 
It was sometime around 11 that Steve and Bucky, the last two of the usual gang, arrived. There was loud music, holiday decorations and a free shot at the door for them, as part of the founder’s group – which is what Clint and Nat called the gang, since they’d been there since the start, even helped build up the bar. 
Bucky almost ran past, downing the shot in a blink of an eye and bellying up to the counter. His eyes were swimming around the place, hopping from person to person hoping to spot what – or who – he was looking for and failing at looking natural. Natasha eventually came around to greet him, wiping down the wooden countertop, just in time to see Steve catch up to his fast paced friend and roll his eyes. 
“Hey there fellas. Steve I see you took my advice” She eyed his Aquaman costume, almost down to a T with the comic book version. Steve posed comically. “And what’s this one supposed to be?” Nat poked Bucky on his shoulder, causing him to finally pay attention to her. 
“He’s Satan”
“You’re Satan?”
“I’m.... I’m not Satan, I’m a devil” he pointed to the red horns, a red and black cape that draped over his back almost all the way to the floor, and the trident he’d so far kept down. There was black around his eyes too, it made his blue eyes incredibly bright, as he returned to scanning the crowd, on his tippy toes. 
“May I ask why?” Nat handed someone a gin and tonic. Steve sighed over the music.
“He heard Y/N’s going to be an angel, so he thought maybe this could be an ice breaker”
“Oh, you’re hopeless Barnes” Nat chuckled and Bucky finally sat down on a stool and hung his head down. He knew it was a little desperate and hopeless, but he didn’t know what else to do. Y/N was the new addition to their group of friends and Bucky had been crushing on her, hard, ever since they were introduced. He always froze in front of her and found it incredibly hard to make proper conversation, always afraid he looked like a fool an it made her keep her distance. She’s super friendly to everyone else, but somehow with him... It seemed to him they hadn’t taken off that well.
“Well I’m always making a fool of myself, I... I just want to, I don’t know, she never talks much with me, I think she doesn’t like me at all” he’s almost pouting like a child and Natasha can’t help but roll her eyes.
“She likes you too!” Bucky’s doubtful grimace irritates her. How can he be so daft? “Ok, listen. You’re always a babbling mess when you talk to her because you like her, she makes you nervous. Right?” at this even Steve nods exasperatedly. Lord does Bucky forget how to function. At first it was funny even, but now it’s just painful and annoying. “and she closes off and is extra shy when she talks to you... Maybe cause you make her nervous? Maybe because she likes you too?”
“I keep telling him, but he doesn’t–”
“She’s here!” Bucky’s shot up from his seat the moment he spots her on the other side of the bar. She’s laughing between Sam and Tony, and he’s glad they’ve both got an arm wrapped around their respective dates or else he’d have to smack some sense into his so-called-friends. They know he’s really into Y/N, they know better than to try and charm her – and mostly Bucky’s afraid they’d do a way better job at it that him. After all she does seem to talk to them more and enjoy their company. When she’s alone with him she’s always fidgeting her fingers, and he can tell it’s awkward. That’s what he wants to change. 
She’s there giggling and sipping your drink, glowing in her angel costume that couldn’t be more fitting in his eyes. Gosh, he’s a lovesick teenager again. 
“Wish me luck!” and he takes off to try and act a natural meet-cute and not at all look like the desperate boy with a crush he is. 
“I can’t wish him any more luck if I wanted” Steve mutters, resting his elbows on the counter. He grabs the drink Nat set in front of him a moment ago and raises it to clink with her glass of soda. “To Y/N and Bucky”
“To the dorks in love” Nat finishes and laughs as they both take long sips. It’s going to be a long night, but hopefully by the end of it Bucky and Y/N can finally sort their feelings for each other out.

You Got Me (Loki x reader) 1
Pairing: Loki x fem! reader
Prompt: Angel would you write something about Loki for me? Maybe after Ragnarok but we pretend iw never happened and instead the Asgardians arrive safely on earth and the reader is part of the Avengers and offers to help them all settle in?? And Loki falls for her and thor teases him about it, ok I'm done now just Loki fluff gives me life
Warnings: Loki being an adorable idiot
Word count: 1618
A/N: I hope you like this mum! I love you, hope this cheers you up! @sunflowerannawrites (okay so this ended up being a multiple part story oops)
Masterlist 
Loki was standing outside the ship. The Asgardians had just landed on earth and he was feeling nervous. He wasn’t sure what the earthlings would think of him. He didn’t expect them to like him, not after what he had done and it made him stressed. He didn’t have a home to return to anymore, no safe place. Would he be able to find such a place here on earth?
“Brother, what are you waiting for? The Avengers are waiting for us. Everyone else has gotten off the ship already.” Thor walked up to his brother with a questioning look in his eyes. Loki shrugged the thoughts off of him and faked a smile to his brother.
“Yes, let us go.” He was about to start walking to where all the others were waiting when a young woman approached them. She was beautiful and Loki felt a tingle down his spine.
“Is everything alright here? We’re ready to head to the compound if you guys are ready.” You smiled at the two men feeling slightly nervous. You were the newest Avenger, an assassin, just an ordinary human standing in front of two gods! You had been very excited when you found out you would finally get to meet them, even though the circumstances weren’t the best.
“Yes, let us go!” Thor spoke up when he noticed Loki wasn’t able to get a word out. You turned around and led the way. Thor nudged Loki to move.
“Who is she? She is... wow!” was all Loki could get out. Thor laughed at his little brother. He was so obviously interested in this young woman.
“She is miss y/n Dagger, an assassin and the newest addition to the Avengers. You can stop drooling now brother.” Thor laughed and Loki blushed pink.
“I am not drooling...” he muttered under his breath.
A few days had passed and the Asgardians were starting to settle down. Most had even started building a little village a couple of miles from the Avengers compound. Loki and Thor were the only ones who were planning on staying at the compound. Loki’s interest for you had only grown during the short couple of days and Thor couldn’t get enough of teasing his little brother.
The two brothers were hanging out in one of the common rooms when you walked in. Tony had put you in charge of taking care of the Asgardians and you had been busy helping them build their village. There were a lot of things you would have to take care of still, but you needed a break.
“Hi! How are you two? Settling in well?” You walked to the small kitchen at the other end of the common room and poured yourself a glass of cold water.
“Yes, everything is working excellently!” Thor smiled. When he saw his brothers star-struck look he chuckled and got up from the sofa. “I should go see if anyone needs help and lend them a hand. Y/n, take a break and after that, could you assist Loki. He told me he had some problems settling in with his new room.”
“Of course! I’d be more than glad to help!” You smiled at Thor, completely missing Loki’s panicked expression as he tried to swat at his brother.
“Excellent! I will see you later then!” He gave you a kind nod and walked out of the room. When he was sure you wouldn’t see him anymore he winked at Loki who was clearly panicking big time. You turned to him and his helpless flailing stopped immediately and his crimson face smiled at you kindly.
“So what seems to be the problem? How can I  help you?” You smiled and sat down on the coffee table in front of him. You were absolutely oblivious of his blush.
“Well, darling, the room is quite small and I don’t feel like home with such pale walls. Do you think I could switch rooms?” Loki tried to be as pleasant as possible and you missed his internal struggle to keep his voice steady.
“Wait a moment, I’ll check!” You reached behind you to pick up your tablet and while your back was turned to him Loki quickly sniffed your hair. He loved the smell of you apple shampoo and just wished he could sink his fingers into your perfect curls. You turned back around and he jumped back a little bit, embarrassed that he had been so close to you. “Here, let me see!” you opened your tablet and started going through your own notes and scribbles.
“I c-can also stay in the current room and simply paint the walls again if it is too much of a bother to change rooms...” he mumbled as he started fidgeting like a nervous teenager sitting in front of his first crush.
You couldn’t believe this was the same Loki you had heard stories about. He was so nervous, so kind, so friendly! He couldn’t possibly be the same guy who tried to take over the world. For god's sake, he was fidgeting like a nervous teenager! You thought it was adorable and a small smile spread across your lips.
“Would you look at that!” you reached the tablet towards Loki and pointed at the picture. “This room should be bigger than the one you have right now and it is also easier to modify!” Which meant painting obviously. “Do you want to go take a look at it?” You smiled at Loki, only now realising how bright blue his eyes were. Loki smiled back shyly and nodded.
“Yes, that sounds lovely.”
When you opened the door to the new room Loki’s face brightened up immediately. He walked straight to the middle of the room, taking in every aspect of it. It wasn’t exactly like his chambers back on Asgard, but it would do perfectly.
“So, do you like it?” you asked.
“Yes, it is perfect darling! Thank you so much! Now we only need to paint the walls, would you care to help me with that?” He smiled sheepishly as he turned to you.
“Of course, no problem! Let’s go get the paint so you can get settled as soon as possible!” You led the way down the corridor, pointing out who lived in what room. “This is my room, I’m not far from you so if you have any problems you can always come wake me up!” You offered with a polite smile and Loki mirrored your expression, but with a small hint of a blush.
“Stop throwing paint on me! It’s gonna be horrible to get out of my hair!” You giggled as Loki swatted you with his paintbrush.
“But darling you look absolutely adorable with a tad of green in your hair!” Loki smiled, the blush dusting his cheeks still going unnoticed by you.
“Loki! We need to get the first coat done today or we will never be able to finish your room!” You laughed as you tried to swat him with your own brush.
“Okay, okay!” he laughed and you returned to painting. When you were almost done Thor walked in to see how you two were doing.
“Little brother! What have you done to miss y/n’s hair! She is completely covered in paint!” Thor looked horrified, but he couldn’t suppress his chuckles.
“She started it!” Loki tried to defend himself and you giggled at his expression.which made him blush again.
“Little brother, you should know better than making a beautiful young woman green!” Thor laughed at your appearances and Loki’s blush. “I came here to inform you that everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table.”
“Oh please don’t wait up for us, it will take us some time still to finish this! We can eat dinner the two of us after we’re done!” You stood up with an apologetic look on your face. Thor nodded and smiled reassuringly.
“Okay, I shall let the others know.” Then he turned to address Loki. “Little brother, you better help miss y/n clean this up, okay?” Thor winked at Loki when you turned away to continue painting and Loki swatted after his brother with his brush.
“Yes yes, brother...” he spat and Thor laughed as he escaped the paint.
When you were done Loki got up from the floor where he had been sitting to reach the last nooks of the walls.
“Help me up?” You reached a hand for him to grab and he pulled you up. You were surprised by his strength and almost stumbled over your own feet, but his arms steadied you and you grabbed onto his strong arms. You were pressed against his chest and you looked up into his face. You were taken aback by how close his face was to yours which resulted in you mirroring his blush.
“Careful darling, we don’t want you to get hurt now do we?” Loki whispered and you could feel his breath against your lips. A tingle ran down your spine. The two of you were frozen like that for what felt like aeons and neither of you wanted to let go. Suddenly you started coughing and had to look away to steady yourself and to not be rude.
“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry!” you exclaimed when you finally stopped coughing. You straightened your shirt and stood up again. “We should probably go eat some dinner, let’s clean ourselves up after that.” You didn’t look at Loki when you walked out the door so you didn’t notice his star-struck stare. It took him a couple moments to snap out of it and then he followed you to the kitchen.
