The Place You Need to Reach

There was something about the way he touched you.

He held back for a long time. That wasn’t really a surprise. Loki had always kept to himself. Many of the Avengers did, but he was always especially closed-off. You’d always done your best to try to make him feel welcome, but you never really expected anything in return. It was like you were trying to make up for the neutral-to-chilly welcome he’d received from the rest of the team. For a long time—too long—the others saw no point in even trying to hide their distaste for the man. That made you uncomfortable. He didn’t want to be here any more than the others wanted him here, but it wasn’t like he had a choice. So you walked the line: You worked to be as warm and welcoming as you could be without overdoing it. It didn’t take a genius to know that he wasn’t used to kindness.

AAAAAAHAHAHAA SO FLUFFY I love starting my days with these
