Love?
The chains rattled and trailed behind him, keeping him captive and contained. Thor had played his usual role in Loki’s life and made it as difficult as possible. The Avengers gathered around him with stern glares and wariness. Thor held a firm grip on his shoulder and pushed him closer to the group.
“Is it really a good idea having him here? What if he tries to take over the world?,” The righteous Captain posed out loud.
“I doubt he’ll do it, especially since every time he does, he fails,” Hawkeye replied with a smirk. Loki rolls his eyes and shifts slightly in the tight cuffs. He had been planning his plan of escape once he stepped foot in the tower. He debated in his mind how far he would get if took out the man of iron first. Loki knew Iron man ran the tower and possessed the lockdown codes.
Thor releases Loki’s hands and sets the cuffs aside. “I know he will behave himself. This is only a temporary placement.”
They escort Loki to one of the rooms and close the door behind him. They don’t even lock the door though, they just leave him in there. He paces the room for a bit, his mind wandering to the humanoid figure outside cleaning the tower like some strange advanced Roomba™. He hadn’t seen anything of that nature before and found himself captivated by the color, the shape, and the voice that Vision had. JARVIS is what he used to be but oh he has become so much more than that. Maybe it was Loki’s natural desire for that infinity stone or a genuine interest in Vision, he would never know. What he did know was that he had to get to him. He had to know more, and one way or another he was going to get his way.
Once night hit it seemed everyone went to bed at the same hour. He remembered this as daylight came and he picked a book to read. A few times someone would come and check on what he was doing or see if he was still in the room. They never said anything when they did and they left immediately after confirming they saw him. Well all except for Steve Rogers. The Captain would enter the room and stay for a moment, just trying to assure he was seeing The younger prince and not some sort of illusion. Then he would say “Don’t try any of your tricks.” and leave the room. Night fell on the tower quickly it seemed. Before long the hour hit when everyone went to bed. He felt glad he had remembered that bit of information.
With this bit of knowledge he had managed to make his way into the living area. Here is where Vision stood, a feather duster in hand. Vision stared him down, a gaze that made him uncomfortable. His eyes narrow and he searches over every inch of Loki.
“I know that you are doing something you shouldn't be doing.”
Loki chuckles and shakes his head “Whatever do you mean?”
“Why are you here?”
“For you.”
Vision is taken aback by this answer. He looks over Loki with an expression of confusion. Loki then steps forward, slowly, watching Vision closely. He admires every single stitch of that dad sweater Vision wears and closes the gap between them.
Vision is too shocked to really react, only feeling this pressure of Loki’s lips against his. He would’ve guess his brain malfunctioned if that was possible. Loki pulls back with a slight smirk, admiring the look of surprise on Vision’s features. He leans back in and lays his palms on Vision’s cheeks. Kissing him once more but this time with Vision timidly responding back. A sound of glass shattering draws the two out of their embrace. They turn to see Clint eye’s practically bugging out and mouth hanging open.
“What the hell are you doing! You may be just starting as a human Vision but the first rule of life is to NOT make out with a criminal,” Clint loudly exclaims, carefully stepping over the glass that he dropped.
Loki tries to pull away as quickly as he could but the hold that Vision held was stronger than he thought. He scowls up at Clint and glares daggers into him.
“Clint. It has been a while.”
Vision cannot help but smirk at the anger Loki uses to hide his embarrassment.
“Clint…. Hawkeye… you saw nothing and you will say nothing.”
Clint takes step back, looking over the both of them incredulously. “Has this been happening? Is this not a new thing?”
Vision eyes Loki for a long moment before shaking his head slowly, “No this is brand new. But it is already as if it has been happening for a long while.”
“You mean to say something preposterous like ‘It feels like I’ve already known you a lifetime’ am I correct?” Loki interrupts.
"Yes that is exactly it."
