finally
bruce sat silently in the school library. he couldn’t even read his book, he had been on the same page forever. all he thought about was thor, the kiss, to be more specific. thor’s lips felt soft. the kiss was amazing, but if only bruce had kissed him back...
“ugh, why is everything so difficult?” bruce muttered to himself.
“banner? what’s wrong?” bruce looked and sighed in relief when he saw loki.
“oh, loki. it’s you.” loki raised an eyebrow, before sitting opposite bruce.
“you didn’t answer my question, bruce.” loki stated. bruce sighed.
“it’s about your brother.” bruce started.
“oh, thor? he’s into you.” the raven haired boy said.
“i know that. it’s just...” bruce paused, closing his book. “he kissed me.”
“yes, he would not stop telling me about it. and you didn’t kiss back?” bruce slowly shook his head. “he thinks you don’t like him. he’s been looking for you, trying to tell you that he’s sorry and it was a mistake.”
“but i do like him!” bruce muttered.
“well, he’s not going to figure that out if you just sit here, hiding in the library, now, is he?” as if on cue, thor’s voice was heard.
“loki! loki, i need-“ thor paused when he saw bruce. “i... uh...”
“hey, thor.” bruce waved at him, shyly.
“uh, would you look at the time. i’ve got to meet up with graham.” loki said, walking past thor. “don’t mess this up.” loki whispered harshly into thor’s ear, before exiting the library.
“uh, hello, banner.” thor sat where loki did before.
“hey...” bruce looked at the floor.
“listen, banner, i-“
“i loved that kiss!” bruce blushed heavily. thor’s eyes widened. “n-no, wait, that came out weird! i meant, i... ooh... umm... i liked the kiss? ugh! i don’t know what to say.” bruce hid his flustered face in his hands. thor smiled softly.
“banner.” his voice was soft and gentle. so soft and gentle, it suprised both of them. bruce looked at thor.
“i... i like you, thor. have done for a long time.” bruce whispered, leaning closer to thor. thor’s breath was shaky.
“i feel the same way.” thor said, before planting his lips onto bruce’s.
only this time, the other kissed back.
bruce’s lips felt wonderful on thor’s. they felt as soft as a feather. thor felt like he was dreaming. if he was, he would never want to wake up. bruce’s lips were suddenly gone, an thor’s felt cold. too cold. he wanted those warm pair of lips back. bruce smiled shyly.
“that was... wow.” bruce whispered to himself, but thor heard.
“it was a great kiss. could i have another?” the shorter boy laughed, before kissing thor again.
“GOD DAMN IT!” a voice screeched, causing the two to pull apart. thor looked outside the library window and saw valkyrie standing there.
“VALKYRIE!” thor yelled, causing the girl to run off. “GET BACK HERE!”
“ssh!” a student shushed him.
“don’t shush me.” thor said, before walking off. bruce ran after him.
“thor!”
loki knocked onto the door of room number 177. stephen opened the door, smiling at his friend.
“hey, loki.” stephen allowed him in.
the two had been friends in primary school but loki had moved schools to norway with thor before moving to america for good. the two stayed in contact ever since and when loki found out stephen was going to his high school, he was beyond happy.
loki sat on stephen’s bed.
“so, what’s up?” stephen asked, putting his books away.
“you know what’s up. give me all the detail.” stephen turned to the raven haired boy, raising an eyebrow.
“what do you mean?” stephen turned back to his bookshelf.
“you and tony. don’t think i haven’t seen it.” loki didn’t even have to look at him to know that stephen was blushing.
“nothing’s up. we’re just friends. he isn’t into me.”
“but are you into him?” when loki didn’t get an answer, he smirked. “ooh, strange. since when?”
“not too long.” stephen has finished putting books on the bookshelf and joined loki on his bed. “he had found out about my hands.” loki frowned. “but he was actually very supportive and said something about relating to my scars. but his were less obvious. don’t know what that meant, but he really helped me through it.” stephen smiled at his hands.
“wow, you are in love.” loki said. stephen rolled his eyes.
“yeah, shut up.” stephen shoved him slightly. “but he isn’t into me.” loki scoffed.
“from what you just told me, he seems to be into you.” stephen shook his head.
“nah, i think he’s just being friendly.”
“tony isn’t just friendly to anyone. he likes you.”
“i don’t think so.” loki rolled his eyes.
“whatever you say, strange. talk later?” loki stood up.
“sure, we’ll talk later.” stephen waved as his friend walked to the door. loki turned to face him.
“trust me, okay? tony’s into you.” were loki’s last words, before he left the room.
“there’s no way he likes me the way i like him.” stephen scoffed, frowning.
but, unsurprisingly, stephen was absolutely wrong. and loki, surprisingly, was absolutely right.
