Author's note: this is me after three coffees, throwing a suggestive joke for your enjoyment and cringe

Imagine taking care of Loki's wounds despite almost injuring yourself too.

It was a miracle the two of you were alive. Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong. "A disaster" could work only as a humorous euphemism. The make the matters worse, you were absolutely sure Loki got his hand burned and yet the foolish man tried to play the hero and pretended he was fine. Instead, he seemed very adamant about checking for your injuries, after you escaped a knife by a hair-breadth. Was it pride or genuine worry, you were unsure. You knew he would wait until most of the court is asleep to sneak around, grab a few essentials, and treat his wound behind closed doors. For his misfortune, you knew him a little too well.

Imagine meeting Loki in the Asgardian prison, in which your cells are across from each other. Although at first he's annoyed with a talkative neighbor, he quickly grows attached to the little company he could get.

"First time, eh?" a female voice diverted Loki's attention from his book. "You'll settle in after a week or so."

He lifted his gaze to look at his neighbor. The annoyance he felt was painfully obvious from his expression. That neighbor of his was across the corridor separating two rows of cells. Why, in the name of all the Gods, did she have to bother him?
