Opal came up behind Ryan, her long-term boyfriend of four years. He was watching an intense game of beer pong, completely oblivious of his girlfriend’s seething rage.
“Ryan, I need to talk to you.” She said in her usual soft tone. The man in question turned to look at her, offering a smile and nodding.
Once alone Opal turned to face him, standing back a good two feet. “Explain these accusations. There are so many women I know personally who are accusing you of these terrible, unforgivable actions. One girl says you assaulted her, one girl says she thinks you drugged her, and another simply said that you threatened her and coerced her into a sexual relationship and that’s why you’ve been leaving at the weirdest fucking times.” She confronted him, something she didn’t often do.
Ryan held his hands up as if surrendering, eyebrows raised high. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, babe. Do you really think that I would do that?” He tried to sound convincing but Opal knew his giveaways. Her eyes narrowed as she stared at him, simply not saying anything. Under the hard glare Ryan backed away a little, shrinking into himself. “Okay okay... Yes, they... might be true.” He said after a long while, giving in easily.
“I fucking knew it.” Opal said before turning away and headed to the front of the large house they were at. She heard Ryan following her and turned sharply once again, he narrowly avoided running right into her with the suddenness of the movement. “Don’t follow me like a lost puppy. You fucked up, you fucked up big time.”
“Babe, come on. I’d never hurt you.” Ryan tried to explain but Opal simply shoved him away from her, suddenly feeling suffocated with how close this dangerous man was to her, she looked at him as if she didn’t even know him.
“Ryan, shut the fuck up. I don’t care how long we were together, I absolutely will not be with someone like you.” She spat, Ryan flinched at how harsh the words were. Opal could see his tears gather while she only glared at him as if he were scum of the earth. “Don’t you dare fucking cry.” She said before turning away from him, hiding her own tears starting to form and blur her vision.
“Baby, it’s been so long with you how could you just throw it away?” He said with a shaking voice, it hurt Opal to hear but she gathered her courage and turned, wiping her eyes with her sweater sleeve before jabbing his chest with her delicate finger.
“I’m not throwing the best relationship I’ve ever been in, I’m taking out the fucking trash. People like you don’t deserve to be happy.” Opal raised her voice before backing away on shaky legs and turning away again. “Fucking go away, Ryan. I don’t want to see you anymore.” She spat, angry at him and at herself for ignoring any signs.
“Babe, it’s not that bad!”
Opal practically lunged at Ryan at that point, grabbing his collar and shaking him a few good times before holding him nose to nose. “Not that bad? Are you fucking kidding me, Ry? You assaulted women and admitted it! You not only cheated on me and hurt me but you ruined their lives! You can’t give Tay back what you took, you can’t give Lori her night back, you can’t fucking fix this with an apology and a joke! Now fucking leave god dammit!” Opal shouted at him, shoving him backwards and turning away, leaving before he can say anything else to really piss her off.

Opal sat in the backyard, the party was inside for the most part thankfully but the noise is what kept her there despite just wanting to go crawl in bed and forget about tonight. She felt absolutely horrible, she had done her hair nice for the party but pulled it back into a sloppy bun, most of her makeup she managed to rub off already, and she had her arms tucked into her sweater and wrapped around her legs which she pulled under the sweater. She was sad but she wasn’t going to let that affect her.
When she felt someone’s presence beside her she thought it was Ryan, she was grateful she turned to look before snapping at the man because it was definitely not the muscular blonde she had been expecting.
“Hey, this seat taken?” A smooth voice drawled, only sitting down when she giggled and shook her head. “Are you alright, love? I noticed you haven’t moved in quite some time.” The man asked, simply curious about what’s going on. Opal was, after all, a well known and well liked person and so of course it would be strange and obvious if she suddenly shut down and left.
“I, uh, I broke up with Ryan earlier. It wasn’t very pretty.” She cautiously admitted, she knew that Ryan was probably already trying to spread rumors about her inside so she may as well tell someone the whole truth. “I confronted him about some rumors and even though he admitted to it openly he still made me feel like I was just being crazy.” Opal sighed, resting her chin on her knees and looking out into the thick tree line across from her. “Who are you?” She asked suddenly, taking the moment to look over at the man with a cocked brow.
“I’m Loki, darling. I’m Thor’s brother.” He said with a charming smile, it made Opal smile despite her night. This man piqued her curiosity, she wanted to ask more questions but didn’t want to invade his privacy.
“Oh, I remember when Thor and I were really good friends. Ryan was always picky with who we were both friends with so Thor and I eventually just stopped talking to one another. I was actually surprised when Ry told me we were going to the party, actually. I had only been here one time when I got too messed up to get myself home so Thor took me here instead so he could keep an eye on me.” Opal smiled at the memory of throwing up in Thor’s bathroom and him carrying her to the couch where he stayed awake with her until she literally passed out watching the Polar Express.
Loki laughed, nodding at the memory he had of that night. “Yes yes, you came in my room and you looked through my books, saw I had Hamlet and very poorly reenacted the play’s iconic lines. Quite a show if I do say so myself. You’re a charming girl.” He said with a dazzling smile. He looked at Opal for a second, taking in her delicate features, the lips that were still so pink despite rubbing off any makeup, the puffy eyes with smudged mascara, the slight upturned nose, he thought despite any imperfections she was a gorgeous girl, drop dead stunning.
Opal blushed under the stare, smiling and looking to the side and picking at the grass before looking back over. “You’re the real charmer. I’m all… post-crying and here you are, a literal god beside me.” She replied, pulling her arms through the sleeves of the sweater and playfully punching his arm.
The man laughed and shook his head, rubbing the spot where Opal touched him.”My dear. I have known you for quite some time. I still think you are absolutely stunning, I did then and I do now.” He said casually, Opal blushed more and sighed.
“I… I want to go somewhere but I don’t know where.” She said suddenly, looking over at him and then back at the trees. Her stomach suddenly growled, Loki chuckled and raised a brow.
“Come with me, I’m hungry too but I don’t want to be here. Thor is the one who wanted a party. I’m sure he won’t mind if I leave with someone as beautiful as you.” Loki stood up, holding out his hand for Opal to take.
“Where are we going?” Opal asked, still holding Loki’s cool hand as they walked through the back door. She went easily putting on her party facade, if the people in here were as drunk as she hoped they wouldn’t even notice she was still sober.
Loki didn’t answer as they went to his room, shutting the door and grabbing a set of keys and a wallet. “We, my love, are going to eat at a diner in town.” He finally replied, tucking his wallet away and once again taking Opal’s hand in his gentle hold. His touch sent little shocks through her arm and she suddenly never wanted to let go.
On their way out the door they bumped into a tipsy Ryan, he almost spilled his beer and the smell of the alcohol made Opal feel sick. The blond caught sight of her immediately and glared at Loki and her both.
“...Bitch.”
The insult was quiet, only for Opal to hear as she walked by. However, Loki heard it and grabbed his arm, snatching the stumbling body back to him.
Loki leaned down real close, his lips were right beside Ryan’s ear and the man was practically shitting himself just standing there.
“Do not ever insult her or speak to her in a degrading way again. You will feel the wrath of both my brother and I. Do I make myself clear?” He whispered, when Ryan nodded he pushed him away and took ahold of Opal’s hand again, taking her out to his car and opening the door for her.
The sheer force in Loki’s voice was enough to make Opal feel warm all over, particularly her face. She grinned and got in, clicking the seatbelt in and biting her lip.
“I’m sorry you saw that part of me, darling. I have simply heard the rumors about things he has done and if he has the nerve to degrade you in an attempt to make himself look better then clearly he has no business being anywhere near you, nor any woman. I’ll have my brother throw him out so he doesn’t hurt anyone.” Loki said as he backed out and they both drove to town, his phone connected to bluetooth so Loki pulled his phone out of his pocket and unlocked it before handing it over to Opal.
“Oh no, no, no… I quite liked having someone defend me, usually Ry would laugh and joke it off when someone was really hurtful with what they said.” Opal replied, taking the phone and scrolling through the music, she giggled at some of the choices, not in a bad way. “Dolly fan, huh?” She teased, glancing over at Loki with a smirk. He just shrugged with an easy going smile.
“What can I say, darling? She is a mastermind in music. Beautiful voice, and she is not afraid to put her foot down when something isn’t right.” Loki shrugged, Opal just nodded, deciding on a random song from some musical and putting the phone down.
“Y’know. I’m a total stranger to you, I could just be waiting for the moment to strike.” Opal said casually, of course she wasn’t going to actually hurt her new found friend. It was just a random fact.
Loki laughed at the bold statement, tipping his head back for a brief moment. Opal took that moment to look at him again, taking in his sharp features, his long hair, he had such a unique face, Opal deemed it to be pleasant and turned to face forward.
Loki had caught Opal staring at him but he wouldn’t say anything about it, letting her keep this little secret to herself.

At the diner Opal sat across from Loki in a booth and got situated before ordering a coffee with extra creamers, Loki ordered the same and then they were alone together.
“So I’m a little confused, why did you come out to talk to me?” Opal asked suddenly, glancing over her menu at the handsome man across from her, then back at the options.
“Well, of course since it was at my house I wanted to make sure everybody was comfortable and happy, I was in my room with a window open and heard yelling so I poke my head down just to make sure nobody is hurt or going to be. I see you and your… whatever he is, I see only part of the fight, enough to know that you aren’t being hurt and neither is he and then I go back to minding my own business. So a while later I step out on my back porch and see a little lonely young woman curled up and zoned out so I go see what’s going on. Now here we are.” Loki answered honestly, explaining himself flawlessly. Opal blushed and smiled, something she seemed to be doing a lot around the man.
“I’m sorry you heard the fight. A bunch of girls told me the bad things he did to them, then he admitted it but tried acting like it wasn’t as serious as it was.” She sighed, deciding what she wanted and setting her menu at the end of the table, it only took Loki a couple of minutes to decide what he wanted before setting it down as well and smiling at Opal.
“It’s no problem my dear, really. I was worried for you just because that man is so much larger, I thought for sure I would have to send Thor out to break up a fight. You were standing your ground and this man had me worried.” He brushed off, glancing around them casually before looking back at Opal.
“How about I give you my number, that way if things with Ryan go downhill I can call you and trust that you’ll be there in time. Not that I think he would hurt me, he knows to not lay a hand on me.” Opal shrugged, grabbing a napkin and a pen from her bag beside her. She scribbled her number down and slid it to him.
The god took the paper and tucked it in his pocket, laughing a little and nodding. “Don’t worry dear, as soon as I get a call from you wanting me to come over I will be there in no time flat. If you wish I can drive you home after this? That way I know exactly where it is.” Loki offered, leaning on his elbows. Their waitress came up and took their orders quickly before leaving them alone again, clearly seeing they were in a private conversation.
“Thank you, Loki. I’d like that. I guess I didn’t just go home because it was really quiet and I just didn’t want to have to be alone, you know? But now that I’m away from the party I kind of want to be in the peace of my own home.” She accepted his offer, explaining why she hadn’t simply gone home earlier when she had the chance.
Loki just nodded to her reasoning, sipping his coffee for a moment and pulling out his phone and Opal’s number. “I’m going to go ahead and put your number in my phone before I forget.” He said softly, unlocking it and going to his contacts. “What are some of your interests? I don’t know much about you anymore.” He asked, glancing up at Opal before back down to put in the digits.
It took a while for Opal to really think of a good answer, being put on the spot like that made her brain completely blank so she had to really think. “Well, I like reading and writing. I like swimming too I guess? I really just like being a little social but unfortunately me being a little social turned into me being so obnoxiously popular that everyone likes me, everyone wants to be around me all of the time and they expect me to act a certain way when in reality I’m a nerd that just reads, writes, and studies history all day when I get the chance. That’s why I want to major in history when I eventually start going to college.” Opal said before taking a long sip of her drink. Loki had finished putting her number in early on and had set his phone down to look at her as she spoke, she had his full attention and she wasn’t too sure what to do with it. She was used to having everyone’s attention while talking, yeah sure but she rarely got the chance to talk to someone one on one except Ryan who was always seemingly half listening.
Loki noticed her awkwardness and smiled, he found the woman intriguing, they had known each other but never really knew each other, only through Thor. He knew he’d be interested in her when she stumbled in his room forever ago and quoted Shakespeare. From that moment on this strange woman had resided in his memory. He found humor in many things she did, whether it be while she’s flustered and fumbling around or laughing and enjoying her time with him as they ate.
By the end of their little spur of the moment midnight diner run Loki was infatuated with the mortal and she was infatuated with him as well.
He adored her smile, her carefree laugh, the way her eyes would light up if he mentioned something she liked. Loki liked the way she was genuinely interested in him rather than pretending to enjoy his company. He liked how she trusted him already and wanted to actually get to know him.
Opal liked everything about Loki, the way he'd light up when she mentioned classic literature, the way he'd laugh or smile when she stumbled over her words after getting so excited that she jumbled them together, that he would answer her questions in total honesty and not be weird, how despite her being sensitive and fresh out of a relationship he wasn't treating her like glass. He treated her like a person rather than an object and paid attention to her intelligence rather than just her physical appearance. She was glad to have gotten to know this shy man who hides in the corner, she was glad he was really willing to be her friend rather than pretend to be her friend.
For a long while after their personal realizations of their shared infatuation they got back in Loki's car and rode in a comfortable silence, Loki had offered his large hand for her to hold and she kindly accepted it, smiling at the gentle squeeze she got.
"This is it, um. Thank you, so much, for taking me home, paying for dinner, and just everything really. You didn't have to but I'm glad you did." Opal said as they parked on the curb in front of her one-story little white house. She didn't get out yet, not quite ready to say goodnight.
"I can go inside with you, or walk you to your door if you'd like." Loki offered, thinking she just didn't want to walk alone. The gesture made her grin, nodding and grabbing her bag before stepping out. It wasn't cold out but it thankfully wasn't hot either. Opal was very comfortable and felt safe with Loki walking beside her.
"I still want to thank you, again. You can come inside since I'm not going to bed for a while and I'm sure the party is only just now starting to slow down." Opal said softly as she unlocked her door, nearly dropping her keys several times.
"Thank you, I shouldn't stay too long. But I'll stay as long as you want me to."
If only Loki knew that she wouldn't want him to leave. She had just properly met the man and already wanted him to move in and keep her safe from everyone and everything. He was the nicest man she had met in so long who seemed genuinely nice and kind-hearted.
---
They ended up watching a movie, Opal had her legs resting in Loki's lap, he had one hand on her shin and the other over the back of the couch. It was one of the Saw movies and Opal couldn't contain her laughter when Loki looked so shocked. He had never seen these movies before so to see just how graphic they really are definitely surprised him. When he heard the bubbly sound he looked over at her with wide eyes.
"How could a sane person stomach these movies? Who decided to film them? Who thought it'd be a good idea?" Loki exclaimed, in a great deal of distress over this movie. Opal laughed harder and sat up, resting her hand on the nape of the man's neck and combing through the soft hair there.
"It's just a movie, but a twisted person had to have been behind the script, honestly. Who would ever even think that the blender thing would be a good idea? Who looks at a blender and says "Ah yes let me hide a key and only give it to them if they give me enough blood. What does he do with all that blood is my question really like why does he want so much blood?" Opal rambled, it was Loki's turn to laugh now, she playfully hit him again but rubbed over the spot she had hit.
"I should be going now, I will definitely be having nightmares tonight after that. I'll call you tomorrow on my way to work." Loki promised as he stood up, stretching his long limbs out and groaning as something popped. Opal stood as well, hiding her disappointment with a quiet giggle at the loud sound.
"I'll walk you to the door, I get up pretty early so I'll text you when I'm awake so you know you aren't waking me up." She decided with a hum, following Loki out and opening the door for him. They both stopped in the doorway, Opal planned to walk to the porch and wave him off, but Loki stopped and turned around.
"Tonight was really fun, I hope we get to do this more." Loki said honestly, pulling Opal against his chest for a tight hug.
She leaned into it and smiled, instantly surrounded by the smell of his cologne. She buried her face against him and took a deep breath, letting it out as a drawn out sigh.
They stood together for a while, probably too long to be considered a friendly hug but they were just enjoying themselves, swaying side to side before Loki finally stepped back, his cheeks tinted a light pink in the moonlight.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow, yeah?" Loki said awkwardly, Opal laughed a little and nodded, giving a final wave as he walked off before shutting her door and being sure it was locked.
That night they both had pleasant dreams, despite the movie they watched, their dreams were of each other, both spending time together and having amazing times.
---
When morning came Opal groaned as she sat up, eight A.M like every day, she shot Loki a good morning text before crawling out of bed and starting a pot of coffee, then taking a long shower while it brewed.
While in the shower her phone rang, she dried off her hand and picked it up, being ever so thankful she got a water proof case.
"Hello?"
"Good morning, my dear."
Oh god, his morning voice. It's so low, throaty and absolutely delicious.
"Oh, hey Loki. How'd you sleep?" She asked as she finished shaving her leg, she set the razor aside and turned off her water.
"I slept wonderfully, dear. I'm grabbing coffee before running to the tower with Thor. Thankfully Stark said we don't have very much to do, just checking on some things, he said he might use me as a lab rat as usual."
Opal could practically hear the eye roll at the end of that sentence, she laughed a bit as she grabbed a towel and held her phone to her ear with her shoulder. She was smiling as she dried off, listening to him rant for a while before turning the question back to her about what she was doing.
"Well, I just finished taking a shower, I'm about to get coffee and make breakfast and I-" Opal was cut off by her doorbell ringing. She slid on a bath robe over her towel and went to check it, still on the phone. "Someone's at the door, just a second." She said into the speaker. She didn't hang up but she slid her phone in the robe pocket before opening the door to see a messy-haired blond man that she wished she didn't recognize. Opal immediately rolled her eyes, standing in the doorway and holding onto the door. "What do you want, Ry?" She sighed, she watched as he quickly looked over what she was wearing before meeting her eyes.
"I want to apologize, for everything. I really do. Last night I was tipsy and ended up getting hammered, I said some regretful things and I didn't know what I was saying." He said quietly, keeping his voice down as if he was telling some huge secret.
"I don't buy it, not for a second. Besides I'm not who you should be apologizing to. You aren't my problem anymore. You're a bastard, Ry and I will stand by that until the day I die. You said hurtful things but I couldn't care less what you said to me. I'm more worried about the shit you said and did to those women." Opal said firmly, she had almost forgotten about the phone call. She pulled her phone out of her pocket and held it back to her ear, she saw the look in Ryan's face change when he realized she was on the phone, he probably knew exactly who she was talking to as well.
"Are you okay, love?" Loki asked, clearly hearing the shuffling and figuring she had the phone again.
"I'm all good here, waiting for Ryan to get off my doorstep." She said into the speaker, she then pulled the phone away from her ear again and looked back at the blond. "Go away, Ryan. You aren't my problem and you aren't going to be my problem any time soon." She said before shutting the door, once again locking it and focusing on the conversation again. Opal made herself a cup of coffee before going to her office in the very back of the house.
"I told him to go away, hopefully he got the point." She sighed, opening her laptop and opening her emails. The good thing about being so loved in the community is that the best paying job in the city is willing to give her a job where she can work from home and be able to focus on her school work. All she has to do for the company is keep financials in line and make sure they're always up to date.
"I'm sorry he showed up, if Stark wasn't demanding my constant attention I would've been there to make him go away myself."
Opal giggled into the phone, setting it down and putting it on speaker. She looked over the information her boss sent her and replied before closing her computer for now and bringing her phone with her to her bedroom. "Gotta get dressed, what do I want to wear today?" She asked, more or less to herself but Loki piped up anyway.
"Well, if you're not going anywhere just wear lazy clothes as Thor calls them. Otherwise I say wear a dress or shorts or a skirt and whatever top. It feels amazing outside today and you have beautiful legs." He said casually, you heard the door to his car shut and could tell he had parked and gotten out of the car.
"Well, okay. I don't think I'm going anywhere today. Are you coming over tonight or is Mister Stark keeping you to himself?" Opal asked with a teasing smile despite him not being able to see her.
---
This friendship went on for weeks, Opal and Loki would fall asleep while voice chatting with each other, they'd fall asleep on the phone and wake up the next day, not hanging up until they had to, they got really close but didn't get to really hang out for a long while after that first night. Ryan still came around and tried coming back in Opal's life constantly, one time she was on the phone with Loki on speaker and he directly told him to fuck off.
Opal and Loki definitely had a connection, they could feel it without even being around each other physically, but Opal was still afraid of a committed relationship. She knows if Loki would ask to become an official thing she would jump at the offer but for now she was positive he just wanted to be friends.
Loki thought the exact same thing about Opal. He was positive she was just being friendly and didn't hold any romantic feelings for him, he wouldn't outright ask her if she had romantic feelings, he thought that'd be weird. Being your friend made him happy and if you wanted to stay as just friends then he would keep it that way.
On this day Opal was going to another party her old friend was throwing, she said that Opal could invite anyone she wanted but that things were probably going to be sloppy. Of course Opal invited Loki, who gladly accepted the offer and even offered to drive them both there.
"I'm not going to get dressed up too nice, she said it's expected to get messy so I'll just stay comfortable." Opal said with a smile, Loki who sat on her bed nodded with a pleased smile.
Opal ended up wearing a pair of jeans and a random tank top with a hoodie, then a pair of sneakers. She changed in her bathroom and brushed her teeth, then stepped out. Loki just wore a button down and a pair of dark jeans with his usual nice shoes. He nodded and as they walked out shamelessly checked Opal out. She was seriously just wearing comfy clothes and he still found her insanely attractive.
At the party Loki stuck to Opal, she didn't really drink much, only a shot here and there. Loki only took two shots when he first got there, now he was fine with water since he didn't want to risk staying at someone's house and didn't know if Opal had planned on getting drunk or not.
"Opal! Beautiful I'm so glad you could make it oh goodness! It's been so long since I've actually seen you!" A sweet, high pitched voice called from across the spacious kitchen. Opal and Loki both turned around to see a tall red-head running to them, wrapping Opal in a very tight embrace, kissing the side of her head over and over again. "You must be Loki, it's so nice to meet you!" She cried when she realized that this tall man was with her sweet little friend.
"Yes, hello. Nice to meet you darling." Loki said softly, grunting when she pulled him into a hug as well, he had definitely not been expecting it. "Well, okay." He said, laughing a bit and gently prying her off of him.
Once she backed off and smoothed her shirt out she turned back to Opal, her smile never once leaving her expression. "You didn't mention he was so handsome." She said quietly, not realizing that Loki heard her loud and clear. She glanced over at him and he simply looked away, sipping his water and minding his business.
"Well, yeah. We're gonna go have fun now, bye!" Opal laughed, grabbing Loki's hand and dragging him with her to the back porch where only a few people were. When he gave her a curious look she just pushed her hair back and smiled. "You looked a little... awkward." She replied simply, Loki nodded and leaned against the railing behind him, setting his water down and sighing.
"Her house is so pretty, her family has money and she gets a lot of it so of course she has a beautiful house, beautiful property. She may love it and all but personally I like my cute little yard." Opal said with a peaceful look, taking in the view from the large porch into a huge green field in the back.
Loki agreed, nodding and looking back over at Opal while she admired the scenery. He simply found her so astonishing. The way she is so flawless and how she is so gorgeous without doing anything.
"I'm kind of bored."
Loki pulled out of his thoughts to look at her, tilting his head. Opal glanced at him before looking away, sucking her bottom lip between her teeth.
"It's boring. I don't like the people here. We were friends in high school but we all went different paths in life."
Loki just nodded, he leaned over to grab Opal's hand and offered a smile when she looked at where they met, then back up at him. They kind of just smiled at one another, waiting for the other to speak first. When neither one did they looked away for just a moment before looking back.
"Let's go to my place, I have more movies to watch and we can just get fucked up there." Opal said with a teasing smile, tugging Loki with her back through the house. They bumped into her friend who saw their path immediately.
"Leaving already, babes?" The woman asked with a pout, she wasn't mad she just wished she got to see Opal more.
"Yeah, sorry Irene. I'll try to stay in touch but you know how hectic my schedule can be." Opal said with an apologetic smile, giving her a quick and final hug before she pulled Loki through the house and to the car.
"Well, that was quick. I'm glad you were ready to leave. I felt out of place." Loki said with a chuckle while he got in and started the car. Opal just nodded with a laugh as she got in. They rode in a comfortable silence again, Loki holding Opal's hand as they drove. "Your hands are so soft, it amazes me." Loki said with a shy laugh, feeling his face warm from the realization and the thoughts that it brought in.
Opal laughed, looking down at her free hand and inspecting it, as if she could see the softness. "Yeah, I use a lot of lotions and whatnot. I like feeling soft, if that makes sense." Opal said as she picked a piece of dirt from under her nail out with thumb nail. Loki glanced away from the road to smile at her. He looked away and Opal looked at him, still having her pleasant little smile.
"You're really attractive, you know? I don't think I tell you enough." Opal said softly, rubbing her thumb gently along Loki's. The god glanced down, then back up as he parked in the driveway. He turned off the car and turned in his seat to face Opal, he swallowed down his pride for a moment, chewing on his lip while Opal looked up at him.
"You're absolutely gorgeous, and I will stand by that until I die." Loki said with a smile, watching as Opal's cheeks turned hot pink and she broke the eye contact to look around.
"I- uh, well, thank you." She fumbled for her words, her tongue feeling heavy in her mouth as she tried to speak without completely embarrassing herself.
Loki laughed a bit before leaning over to her, planting a soft kiss to her forehead. "Let's go inside to watch those movies, yeah?" He said with a smirk when he saw Opal's face. He figured that the easiest way to wordlessly find out if she had feelings for him would be to tease her until she caves. Makes perfect sense.
---
"Boo, bad movie!" Loki laughed, looking away from the screen to the woman laying on his chest with a fluffy blanket laid over her. He could feel her giggles while she relaxed on him, her body shaking a bit with each bubbly laugh.
"It wasn't that bad. We can always watch Snakes on a Plane, you'll never guess the plot of that one." Opal smiled, tilting her head back to look up at him. She saw he was deep in thought, biting his lip which she found insanely attractive.
"Hmm... Is it about crocodiles on a train?" He guessed, showing a shit-eating grin. Opal stared for a second before practically face-planting on Loki's chest, laughing and shaking her head.
"You're such an idiot." She said fondly, rolling her eyes. For a brief moment they both feel sparks between them, an intense heat as both of them wait for the other to lean in for a kiss.
After a few seconds Opal bites her lip, glancing down at Loki's and then back up at his eyes. "Wanna go watch movies in my room instead? It's uh, it's more comfortable in there." Opal said softly, slowly sitting up so she straddled Loki's thighs. He stared at her dumbly for a while, his hands resting comfortably on her thighs as he thought over the question a few times.
"Oh, uh, shit yeah, sorry. Zoned out, sorry." He said when he realized he hadn't answered. Opal just giggled and nodded, scooting off of his lap and wrapping the blanket around her shoulders.
"It's okay, I just figured based on all of our calls you practically fall asleep in my room every night anyway. The couch isn't too comfortable in comparison." Opal said quietly, kicking herself mentally for not seizing the moment when she saw it. She could feel the tension between them both but was too scared to initiate it first, she hoped Loki would because she wasn't sure how much more of this she could take.
In the bedroom they got in basically the same position, this time with Opal slid up just a bit more so her head rested just under his collar bone. They decided to watch Snakes on a Plane, figuring tonight was just a bad movie kind of night. Loki's strong arms were wrapped around Opal's waist, his fingers tracing lightly up and down her side as they watched the movie.
By the end of the movie Loki had his bare hands running up and down Opal's bare back, he had slid his hands up her shirt and rubbed the soft skin there. He smirked when he felt her full body shiver at the touch, her hand bunched up in his shirt for a brief moment before relaxing as she got used to the feeling quickly.
Opal slowly sat up, smiling down at Loki who lazily looked up at her and smiled back. "I'm going to put in another movie, then put on comfier pants." She said as she reluctantly crawled out of bed and rubbed her eyes, turning on the next bad movie of the night, Fifty Shades of Grey, Loki audibly groaned when he saw the title appear on the screen, making Opal giggled and turn to look back at him, shrugging when he raised a brow. She slipped into her bathroom, putting on a pair of cotton shorts that happened to perfectly cover her.
When she came out of the bathroom she could feel Loki's eyes on her, she blushed but definitely not in a bad way. She crawled back into his arms and smiled as the movie started. She had always disliked this movie, finding it a bit unrealistic and ridiculous.
Throughout the movie Loki's hands were on Opal again, he never took his eyes of the screen as he moved his hands along her skin. Opal would glance at him and see his smirk, the touches were driving her mad and she really wanted to simply jump his bones right now.
She scooted up his body and tucked her face in his neck, of course Loki tilted his head to give Opal some more room. Her plan was fairly obvious but Loki pushed that away and forced himself to believe she was simply tired, she had of course mentioned her love for cuddling many times during their conversations.
Opal smiled against his skin, planting a single, lingering kiss to the side of Loki's pale neck. She could feel the man tense as he felt the contact, holding his breath as if waiting for the next. "Can you do that again?" He asked softly, keeping his voice hushed to not ruin a moment. Opal breathed out a quiet laugh, leaning back to him and reattaching her lips to the soft skin, placing another kiss, followed by another, and another.
"I don't think I told you but I love that feeling." Loki whispered, his hand gripping Opal's side tightly.
He could feel Opal laugh that laugh that drove him crazy. He groaned quietly when he felt Opal drag her teeth against the skin. She hummed quietly for a second before moving to another spot and repeating her actions. Loki grunted and let his head tip more to the side, Opal pulled her mouth back, wiping off the spit, and giggled quietly.
"You're so sensitive here, I wouldn't have expected it." She whispered, kissing Loki's cheek and watching as he turned to face her, eyes half lidded and pupils blown. The look he gave her made her tingle and bite her lip.
"Yeah, I know." Loki said with a soft laugh. Opal had to look away from the intense stare he was giving her. "Can I kiss you?" He asked suddenly, Opal looked at him with wide eyes, like a deer in headlights. Loki almost retracted his question before he saw her nodding eagerly.
They leaned together, Loki's hand cupping Opal's soft cheek while Opal's hand went to the back of Loki's neck, tugging gently on the baby hair there when their lips met. The moment felt magical for them both, an intense burning between them both lit up like a blaze when they touched and the kiss spurred both of them into bolder actions.
Opal crawled into Loki's lap as he sat up, both of her hands now tangled themselves in his soft hair while Loki's hands wrapped around her waist and held her there. The intense feelings had Opal moaning into Loki's mouth, and the noises made something stir deep within Loki.
Their kiss was heated, made both of their bodies tingle and light up with desire. Opal could just sit here and kiss him until she died. His lips felt so good against hers. She was still confused as to whether or not there were romantic feelings between them.
"Loki... You can... You can touch me if you want to." Opal whispered against his lips, she felt his smile curl against her lips as his hands immediately went to her behind and cup both cheeks in a firm grip.
"Tell me what I can't do, beautiful." He said as he parted to kiss down her neck, smirking as he felt her breathing become heavy and her hands grip his hair in a firm grip, almost enough to hurt him.
"Fuck... Do anything you want to, I trust you." Opal panted, her eyes squeezing tight. She really did, she would give herself up for him if he asked, she knows it.
As much as Loki would be willing to have his way with her, he doesn't believe the time is right to take full advantage of her words. Instead he slid his hands up under her hoodie and pulled it along with her tanktop off and threw them off of the bed and onto the floor, Opal smiled down at Loki as he took a moment to process the fact that she wasn't wearing a bra and why he didn't notice this earlier when he had his hands on her. Opal smiled as his hands tenderly cupped both breasts and gave a gentle squeeze.
"You have such lovely tits, they're so bouncy, so soft." Loki hummed, surging forward to wrap his lips around Opal's stiff nipple, suckling and nibbling gently on the area. His other hand gingerly pinched and tweaked at her other nipple. The sharp pleasure made Opal shiver against him and push him closer, Loki was so gentle wit how he handled her, it made her smile and feel even warmer all over in a much more innocent way.
Loki soon got bored of just this, Opal had taken it upon herself to roll her hips down in search of friction. The god laughed and pulled his head back to look at her. "I want to taste you, love. Can I do that? You can even ride my face if you wish my dear." He whispered with a sinful smirk that had Opal nodding eagerly, she crawled off the bed to pull her shorts off, tossing them in the pile with the rest of the clothes. The fact that Loki was still fully dressed and she was completely nude embarrassed her but also served to excite her more.
"I'll sit on your face if you really want me to." Opal said with a giddy smile, she hadn't done that in so long. Loki was clearly more than excited and fixed his positioning so he wasn't so high up on the bed. Opal straddled his chest and slowly crawled her way up to position herself over his mouth. When Loki decided she was taking too long he grabbed her hips and pulled them down to his waiting mouth.
The reaction was instant, Opal gasped, her hand shot up to grab her headboard and steady herself, her thighs tensed beside Loki's head, she could feel his smile yet again upon seeing her reaction.
Loki thought Opal tasted absolutely divine. He moaned upon tasting her, his hands gripped her hips tightly as he tasted her, Opal could only relax into the feeling and give herself up to the pleasure. Loki was more than willing to make her feel good, his tongue slotted between her folds and lapped up the warmth there before circling her clit and flicking over the nerve quickly. Each stroke of the velvety tongue made Opal tense and suck in a sharp breath between her moans. Her sounds came out as soft whimpers, she switched between carding her fingers through Loki's hair and covering her mouth when she made a particularly embarrassing noise.
"You taste so good, wonder why I haven't done this sooner." Loki whispered, immediately going back to what he was doing.
He worked wonders on Opal's body, holding her still so she could just take what he gave her, she wanted to grind against him, wanted to jerk away but also push closer to the pleasure but he held her in a way that made it absolutely impossible.
It took next to no time for Opal to fall apart. Her whole body shook and her thighs squeezed tight against Loki's head. She gave a cry as she finally came, spilling her juices into Loki's mouth while he eagerly lapped her taste up, groaning against her while he worked on undoing his pants and finally freeing his painful erection from his boxers. it slapped against his stomach but Opal couldn't even register what was going on as a mind-shattering orgasm hit her and took over her entire body.
When she finally processed everything and had gotten off of Loki with trembling thighs, she watched in amazement as Loki got himself off, gripping his shaft and thrusting up into the hold. She caught sight of some of her fluids on Loki's cheek. She giggled a bit and slid down Loki's body, grabbing his wrist in a loose hold and looking up at him.
"I can... I can use my mouth, if you'd like." She said softly, Loki looked down at her and nodded a little too eagerly, making her smile as she got in position. She held the base of the shaft and let her eyes flutter shut as she sucked on the tip, her tongue swiping over it and rubbing against the thick vein underneath the shaft. She slowly lowered her head as far as she could go, when she felt it bump the back of her throat she paused, taking a deep breath and reminding herself to focus on the task at hand.
She couldn't help just wanting to hold it there for a while, the length was so heavy on her tongue, felt so good in her mouth that she didn't want it to end. So she played it off as her getting used to the feeling of having something so far down her throat.
When she had her fill she went the tiniest bit further before backing off and focusing on the tip again. She got into a pattern of doing this, Loki definitely wasn't complaining. The way Opal took her time and focused on all of the right places really did a number on him. He fumbled with his shirt before getting it off and tangled a hand in the woman's soft hair, careful not to push her head down any.
Opal hummed as best as she could before really going in, picking up her speed and trailing a hand up to Loki's balls, grasping them loosely and massaging them in her palm while her mouth focused on Loki's shaft.
She went on like this for several minutes before Loki got desperate sounding, his groans turned into breathy whines and his voice raised several octaves. "Oh, Opal, love... Your mouth feels so good... Gonna cum soon." He whispered, his hips canting up the slightest bit, his noises made Opal shiver and try harder to get him to cum. She pulled her head back and fisted the slick shaft, looking up at him while panting.
"C'mon, Loki. Want to taste your cum so bad. You can finish on my face if that's what you want. Or you can finish in my mouth. I hope I'm doing good for you..." Opal whispered, kissing along Loki's exposed hips before taking the man back in her mouth and bobbing her head like her life depended on it.
When he heard her voice, soft and hoarse, his eyes rolled back and his whole body tensed. He felt bad because his hand gripped her hair a tad bit too hard as he came in her mouth, Opal stayed still as he finished, letting him completely finish before pulling off and swallowing. She was pleasantly surprised that he didn't taste absolutely horrid.
When she finished cleaning him off she sat up and wiped her mouth, blushing and glancing back at the TV before over to Loki.
"So, is this all casual or..?"
