Author's Note: Sorry! I was doing so great at first posting everyday but work got busy and I got tired. I think I will just do the once a week chapter for good. It might work better for me. You'll learn in this chapter that I don't really favor Jane but I love, LOVE Tony Stark!

Thank you, Magi Zumurrd and creative BUBBLE for following/favoriting my story!


Tony begged me to tell Pepper that I forgave him the whole way back to the group. I denied his request and told Pepper that I'm only back because they were still my friends and I would only speak to Tony when spoken to. I was going to enjoy his pain the two weeks that I promised him. Pepper didn't even want Tony sitting next to her while we all talked and laughed. I was happy that not one of them brought up the topic from earlier, especially since Natasha joined us sitting right next to Bruce. He looked so nervous.

"I have a recital next Sunday," Natasha said, "You all better be there."

"And if we're not," Clint asked.

She glared at him, "I'm not afraid to punch you in the face," she replied.

We all laughed, "Of course we'll be there," Bruce said with a huge smile on his face.

"We shall be there to support you," Thor said.

"What about our date," Jane said.

I tend to forget that she is around us. We never really talk which doesn't bother me.

"Why not dinner than the recital," I suggested to her, "that way you can still have a date and support your friend."

"Excellent," Thor said agreeing with me, "That will be the plan."

Jane pouted a bit and then gave me a side-glance. At that moment I realized that she only hung out with us because Thor did, aside from Darcy who told me that they had been friends for a while before coming to SHIELD.

My phone vibrated and I saw that it was a text message from Loki. In the message was the name of his dorm and the room he was in. Thank god he texted me, I thought to myself. I had lost track of time and realized that it was a quarter 'til 6.

"I gotta go," I told everyone, "I'll see you guys later."

I heard them all say goodbye, except for Jane, as I got up and left. It didn't take long to get to Loki's room but I would rather be early than late. I knocked on his room door and waited for an answer. I wonder if I'll meet his roommate too, I thought to myself. The door opened and there stood Loki and his 'studying' look.

"Hi," I said excitedly.

"You're early," He replied.

"Yeah I figured that would give us some time to look over the questions before or after the movie."

"Smart," he said and moved out of the way gesturing for me to enter his room. I did with a smile and looked around. His room was neat but his desk was full of books. He had green bedding and pillows. Come to think of it, many of his clothing were green.

"Green must be your favorite color," I said to him as I turned around to see him close the door.

"Observant," was his response.

I looked around his room again and noticed that there was only one bed on one side of the room and a couch on the other side. I sat on the couch while Loki set up the movie on his TV.

"Either you and your roommate share a bed," I said, "or you are lucky enough to have a single room."

"I didn't want a roommate," he responded and sat next to me, "I was not keen on sharing a space with a stranger."

"You could've roomed with Thor."

"A pig is neater than Thor."

I laughed at his joke and he looked at me. He sat really close to me. Even sitting down it was obvious that he was taller than me. His eyes darkened again as I bit my lip slightly. We were definitely having a staring contest. My heart started to quicken when it looked like he was leaning into me.

"W-we should start the movie," I said knocking us out of whatever trance transpired. He looked back at the TV and started the movie but my eyes lingered on him a bit longer. He was the definition of perfection and my feelings for him were growing each moment I spent with him. I turned my attention to the movie we were supposed to be watching. Loki was definitely out of my league.

30 minutes into the movie and I found that it was incredibly boring. What made it worse was that it was cold. I felt goose bumps growing on my body and I shivered. Without even asking, Loki pulled a throw blanket from the side of his couch and handed it to me.

"Thanks," I said as I put it over me. I pulled it up to my neck and I could smell Loki all over it. He must use this a lot, I thought to myself. His smell relaxed me and the movie lulled me to sleep.

Loki's POV

This movie is dull, I thought to myself, but I have to focus. It took every inch of my being to focus on this movie. My eyes stayed glued to the TV until pressure was placed upon my shoulder. I looked over and saw that Maddie had fallen asleep. She looked so beautiful while she slept. My focus on the movie had transferred to the girl who fit so perfectly beside me. Ever since the moment in the piano room, she wouldn't leave my mind. It was frustrating but not entirely unwelcomed. I smiled a bit. She was a sight of both beauty and amusement. Her curly tendrils were wild but looked heavenly on her. She was wrapped in my favorite throw blanket that would now house a bit of her vanilla scent. Her face was soft and innocent, something I felt that neither I nor anyone else possessed like she did. Her lips looked even softer than herself. There had been plenty of times that I had to stop myself from stealing a kiss from her.

Some of her hair had fallen onto her face blocking my view. I slowly moved the hair, brushing my fingers slightly across her cheek in the process. She is as soft as she looks, I thought. I rested my hand on her cheek, caressing it with my thumb. My pale hand matched perfectly with her brown skin. Maddie was the summer to my winter. The TV slowly became background noise until the only thing I could hear was her soft breathing. She snuggled closer onto me making my heartbeat faster than it has ever done before.

"You don't know how much you affect me," I whispered as if she was conscious.

This was how it was supposed to be. Just Maddie and I together, enjoying each other's company. That was what I wanted.

Slowly, Maddie began to become aware of her surroundings. I removed my hand and went back to looking at the TV before she was fully awake. She looked around for a bit and then jumped off of me.

"Oh my god," she said with her bell-like voice, "I am so sorry that I fell asleep on you."

"It is quite alright," I responded looking at her with a smirk. I loved seeing the faint red appear on her face.

"Ah! I drooled on you! I'm so, so, so sorry."

Her blush deepened as she began to wipe at the saliva that I didn't even realize rested on my arm.

"Yes," I said, "maybe it's not quite alright."

"I'm sorry," she said sheepishly biting her bottom lip.

She is so cute sometimes, I thought to myself as I smiled at her.

"Drool under the bridge," I said earning a huge smile from her and a sweet giggle. I couldn't help but give her a wider smile as relief washed over her face. I couldn't let her off the hook that easily. My smile turned into my mischievous smirk.

"Of course," I said, "this means you owe me once again."

"I always owe you," she laughed, "You better start cashing those in before I have to just give you my life."

"Hmm," I replied, "doesn't sound like a bad idea to me."
