You Got Me

It had been a couple months since Thor had walked in on your first kiss with Loki. It was safe to say it wasn’t the only kiss the two of you had shared after that, but you were keeping the relationship a secret to avoid as much teasing as you possibly could. It didn’t stop Thor from almost outing the relationship several times a day, because he loved teasing his brother about you. Luckily most of the other Avengers thought he was only doing it because you and Loki had become friends so quickly.

Loki liked sneaking around and stealing a kiss or two from you right under everyone’s noses in training and during mission briefings or when the Avengers were just hanging out together. You were extremely confused over how no one had noticed the two of you yet, but you weren’t complaining about the privacy.

When Loki had trouble falling asleep because of what had happened on Asgard he used to teleport to your room and apologise profusely for disturbing your sleep, but you quickly shut him up with a kiss or a hug and cuddled with him until he fell asleep. You thought it was adorable how Loki always braided his hair into small braids before going to sleep and you loved playing with them as you hummed an old lullaby.

Loki loved listening to your voice and he had made it a sport for himself to ask the right questions about your interests to get you to talk for hours on end. He took you out on a couple of dates and asked you to show him how normal humans lived their lives here on Midgard. You were most excited about showing him the movies and theme parks. When you took him on the ghost ride, your favourite, he had tried to play tough at first, but he had ended up clinging to your arm for the entire ride. When the ride ended he insisted on going again.

To get Loki accustomed to the Midgardian culture you decided to have a movie night every Thursday and you would either end up watching the cult classics or a couple episodes of a TV show. Who were you kidding? It always ended up being half a season, except when you watched Sherlock. Loki insisted on watching all four seasons at once and you were not hard to convince. You couldn’t lie, you loved a good movie marathon.

“Darling, could you show me some Midgardian music? I’ve heard some here and there, but I don’t quite understand the purpose of it.” Loki asked you one morning when you were eating breakfast in one of the compounds many kitchens.

“What kind of music do you wanna hear? Classical music or old classics or the songs that are trendy right now?” You turned to him, smiling. Loki looked confused and you couldn’t help but think he resembled a lost puppy.

“What is the difference between classical music and classic songs?” he wondered trying to wrap his head around it.

“Well, classical music is older music and most of it was composed a long time ago and it is purely instrumental. It can sound like this, for example.” You pulled out your phone and opened Spotify. You looked up some Mozart and let Loki listen to it.

“It sounds similar to Asgardian music, I like it.” You had guessed as much. Loki was an old soul and a pure one at that. He was simply misunderstood.

“Classic songs are songs that were big hits when they came out and are mostly from the 70′s, 80′s and 90′s. Like this one!” You pressed play and the tunes of 99 Luftballons started pouring out of the speakers of your phone. Loki’s face morphed into confusion and then into an amused smile.

“Why is the song such an odd one? What is she singing?” he asked and patted himself on the back in his mind as you set off rambling on about music. He leaned his chin in the palm of his hand and you completely missed the enchanted look on his face as he listened to you explain pop culture to him.

A few weeks later the two of you had fallen into a routine of you sharing a new pop culture reference with him every time the two of you had a meal together. It included songs, quotes, vines, memes, anything you could think of.

One day all of the Avengers were assembled to dinner together to celebrate that Loki and Thor had been with you for four months now. The Asgardian town near the compound had been finished and all the Asgardians had a home. The town had jobs, electricity, water, everything you could possibly need to live.

Tony decided to give a speech and after some bickering with Steve he finally stood up and everyone silenced. He spoke kind words and frankly, you were quite surprised he was so good at giving a heartfelt speech.

“… and lastly I want to thank y/n, who has done so much for the town and for our two main guys. You have helped all the Asgardians settle down here on our little earth and we couldn’t have had a better person to help make that happen.” Tony ended his speech with a big smile and ‘cheers’ and you smiled back at him. 

You felt Loki squeeze your hand under the table and you decided it was time for the meals pop culture reference, a song. You cleared your throat to get everyone’s attention and you felt Loki’s questioning eyes searching for your eyes.

“So as most of you know me and Loki have been really close ever since the Asgardians got here. Most of you also know about our pop culture reference game where I tell him about a new song, quote, vine or meme before every meal. Today I’d like to share the song with all of you because I feel like it reflects my emotions for this special guy in my life very well.” You heard someone whistle and you knew it was Thor. You felt yourself blush and your hands were shaking, but you still managed to open your phone and Spotify. “The song’s name is You Got Me and it is by Stella and Alexandra.” You pressed play and turned to Loki. You saw as tears filled his eyes when he listened to the lyrics of the song.

You leaned forward and planted the softest kiss on Loki’s cheek and you could hear the others hollering and whistling. You pulled back to look at him, but he pulled you back gently for a proper kiss. You smiled into the kiss and felt happy as the chorus of the song played in the background.

You got me going, you got me moving
You got me loving you every day

(You got me, you, you, you got me)

You got me reeling, just from the feeling
You got my love, love, love in every way

(You got me, you, you, you got me)
