"So, Loki, what are your opinion on this whole situation?" Steve asked the God of Lies, whom was seen to be thinking over his decision.
Loki, whom was now being recruited to be an Avenger, was seen sitting down on a leather chair in the main conference along with the rest of the Avengers. Nick Fury was taking an important phone call a few feet away from the group of superheroes.
"I don't know Rogers. What are the opinions of the others on this situation?"
"Well, to me, it seems that they are quite happy to be honest with you. And Thor? He is more than happy that you are going to be joining us than instead of us fighting against you, like the whole New York incident a while back".
"I am still not sure, Steve. I mean, the rest of New York will not be happy about me joining your group. But, then again, I am not worthy of being in your group. I am nothing but a monster. And that is all I will ever be".
Steve, frowning at hearing Loki talk bad about himself, then stated, "You're not a monster Loki. Sure, you are a frost giant. But being a monster is something you want to happen and want others to see you as such. Of what happened with you in the past, stays there. Why bring that ugly baggage with you, anyways?"
"It's because it is hard to let it go, I guess. How can I forget such actions like mine."
"I know it is hard and I am not telling you to just simply forget it. But, I want to ask you just one thing out of you".
"And what would that be, Steve?"
With a big grin, Steve answered him, "Going out on a date with me".
"You like me?"
Blushing, Steve smiled wide. Sure, he admitted to himself that he had a crush on the god.
"Yes Loki, I actually do like you. Ever since Thor has brought you in with us".
"But that was almost 2 years ago. Why did you wait so long to say something? I like you too" Loki said while blushing tomato red.
Both Thor and Tony were looking at them while wearing big smirks. Thor was extremely happy that Loki now had someone that liked him back. Natasha was seen grinning and Clint smiling. He got over being mad at Loki some time back. He and Loki are now in good terms. Bucky was happy for both Steve and Loki.
"Y-you do?" Steve asked in disbelief. Loki liked him?
"Yes Steve. Every time I was about to confess to you, I get scared and back out" Loki confessed while looking at his hands.
"Well, now that we know that we like each other, how about that date Loki?"
"Yes Steve, I would like to go on that date with you".
Immediately Thor got out of his seat right next to Tony and hugged both Steve and Loki. Blushing, Steve smiled because Thor approved of him courting his younger brother.
"I am glad you are courting my brother, Captain. I know you will make Loki happy. At least my ears can rest from him constantly talking about you".
Steve stared at both Thor and Loki in disbelief. Loki talked about him to Thor.
"Y-you talked a-about me to Thor?"
"Yes Steve, I did. I don't see nothing wrong about that".
Smiling, Steve then looked at his hands. Fury then chose that moment to enter the conference room with a poker face.
"So, what's with the long face Fury?" Tony asked with a smirk. He enjoyed making Fury mad.
"You all are going on a mission on a couple of days".
"Really? Another one? But we just came back from another one last week" Natasha whined. She really didn't want to be involved in another mission.
"I know that all of you just want to relax. But this upcoming mission will be only 2 days long. It's not going to be hard" Fury explained the situation to the unhappy heroes.
Loki frowned of actually going to another mission. He was looking forward on his date with Steve.
Steve saw the displeased look on the god's face. He approached Loki with a concerned look on his face.
"Loki, please don't be sad. We will still have our date. What about having it tomorrow night?"
Although a bit bothered, Loki answered him, "Yes Steve, I won't let the mission bother me or our date".
Fury seemed to be pleased with the little interaction between Loki and Steve in front of him.
"So, are you two in a relationship or not? Because, to me, it seems like you're in love with each other".
Both Loki and Steve stared at Fury, blushing. Steve decided to answer Fury's question.
"Well, to answer your question, we like each other so we are going on a date tomorrow night. The mission just bothered Loki".
"Oh, I am sorry Loki for that. Really," Fury said. He then sat down on his leather chair. Tony then broke the silence.
"So, what exactly is going between the two of you?"
Steve quickly shot him down. "What you just heard Tony."
The meeting was then dismissed. The whole team decided to meet in Tony's floor in an hour's time. Both Steve and Loki left to his bedroom that was located five floors above the meeting floor.
Throughout their way there, Loki was silent and that worried Steve.
"Loki, what is wrong? You haven't spoken a word since Fury dismissed us".
Loki then looked up to see Steve with a concerned look on his face. It bothered him greatly to make Steve sad in any way.
"It's nothing major, really Steve. It is just the mission. Besides, like I said a while ago, I am not worthy of being on the Avengers and saving the world. New York doesn't like me".
"Please, don't say that Loki. You are not a monster. What happened in New York and you, it wasn't your fault. You were under mind control".
Loki seemed to be more sad and bothered by the statement. And Steve noticed it quick.
"I am sorry".
"Don't worry about it Steve."
"Okay. I won't, I promise".
Quickly, Steve gave Loki a kiss on his smooth lips, causing Loki to smile.
