Loki held your hands in his own like he was afraid you might disappear. In your presence, he abandoned his pretense of disinterest and detachment, choosing, instead, to try and learn everything he could about you. He ignored the other Avengers and spoke in whispers that promised of a love that would endure for ages to come.

The others were not so taken in.

“He could be faking it.” Steve said, voicing what was on everyone’s minds. Loki was, after all, the God of Mischief. Unfortunately, faking a soulmate connection wasn’t unheard of.

Bruce looked at the two of you a bit uncertainly. “I could run some tests, check their compatibility.”

“He isn’t lying. I can sense his emotions, and he had a typical reaction to someone finding their soulmate. He’s legit.” You pulled your hands free from his so that you could play with his slender fingers and map out the veins on the back of his hand.

A sound you recognized as Tony’s ringtone interrupted the moment. He raised the phone to his ear. “This had better be an apology for dropping a super-villain on my doorstep.”

He listened to the reply before his face changed to a surprised expression. “How do you even-?” He sent a meaningful look to Clint. “Was it you? Did you tell him?”

Clint shrugged. “He was going to find out about them eventually.”

Tony rolled his eyes and walked over to you. “Here, it’s for you.”

You raised your hand, searching for the phone, and Tony pressed it into your palm.

“This is Agent __(l/n)__.”

“Agent.” Director Fury’s voice sounded through the receiver. “I wanted to congratulate you.”

“Thank you, sir.” You said with a grin. You’d known Fury for quite a long time since joining Shield and had been half-expecting a call from him at some point.

“Of course, we can agree that this changes things.” He said in his standard, no-nonsense tone.

“I’m assuming you have something in mind?”

“I want you to be the main influence that helps Loki acclimate to his place on earth. You’d be working with Thor and Captain Rogers as his official handler.”

You sighed, exasperated. “Handler? C’mon, he's my soulmate. Doesn’t that seem a little inappropriate?”

“Good luck, Agent.”

The line went silent. “Director? Director Fury?.. Great.”

You raised your hand to let Tony take back his cell phone. “He officially made me one of Loki’s handlers.”

You heard somebody nearby snicker. “I can hear you, Tony.”

A hand brushed hair away from your ear. “Well, it sounds absolutely thrilling to me.” Loki purred lowly, his forehead touching your temple.

You bit your lip to stifle the giddy noise threatening to bubble from your throat as Loki nipped at your jaw line playfully.

“What are you- no. No, no, no, stop that immediately.” Steve groaned in frustration.

“Yeah!” You heard Tony exclaim. “You’re scarring the 90 year-old virgin right here. He’s not used to that sort of thing.”

Thor clapped Tony of the back and laughed, causing the billionaire to stumble forward. “I think this is glorious news!” He said loudly. “Finding Jane made me want to protect Midgard and its inhabitants.”

“I don’t need to protect all Midgardians. Just one.” Loki wrapped an arm around your waist and pulled you even closer. “By all the realms, you’re perfect. I could look upon your beauty forever.”

You giggled, and Loki grinned, absolutely delighted with the tiny noise. Your psychic connection with him was stronger than any you’d ever had. You could sense his happiness and excitement, the pure elation with which he observed you.

Thor laughed again at his brother’s antics, and you felt Loki’s annoyance though your link. “Is there somewhere quiet we might speak?” He asked softly.

You nodded. “I was thinking the same thing. Let’s go to my floor.”

Loki rose from his seat and guided you up, wrapping one hand loosely around your waist.

“Don’t do anything Steve wouldn’t do.” You heard Tony shout after you.

You sat on your sofa with your back against Loki’s chest. “Would it be too much to ask,” you said hesitantly, “for you to tell me everything?”

“As long as you do the same.” He replied, nuzzling your neck.

A relieved sigh left your lips as they settled into a smile. “I can do that. So, should we just cover the basics, or…”

“If that is what you desire, my goddess.”

“Goddess?!” You choked in surprise.

“Of course. Is there anything specific you wish to discuss?” Loki asked. He tilted his head so he could observe your resting form. So beautiful.

“Well, how is it that an Asgardian is the soulmate of a human?” You asked. The question had been eating at you for some time. It seemed like that should be impossible.

“It happens, but it’s very rare. Usually, soulmates are from the same realm.”

“So you and Thor just both happen to have human soulmates.” You asked.

“It would seem so. I’m actually not Asgardian, though, so that may explain it.” He admitted this a bit reluctantly. You felt his fear.

Squeezing his hand in reassurance, you asked. “What are you, then?”  

Loki pulled away from you until you weren’t touching. He took a deep breath to steady his voice before finally speaking.

“I’m a Jotun.”

You sat for a moment, confused, and waited for him to explain himself further.

You felt Loki stand up from the couch and begin pacing in front of you. “Say something!”

“Oh, er… What’s a Jotun?”

Loki stopped dead in surprise. “You don’t know what a Jotun is?”

“Uh, yeah, I wasn’t born on an alien planet, so, no. I don’t.”

“A Jotun is a Frost Giant, a horrible beast Asgardian parents tell their children stories about to make them behave.” He said, still sounding somewhat bewildered at your confusion.

You raised your eyebrows. “Frost Giant? I mean, yeah, you’re tall, but giant? No.”

“This is very serious.” Loki insisted sternly. “I am a terrifying monster.”

“What? No you’re not. I touched your face and everything earlier, and you seemed totally normal. Very handsome, actually.”

“Observe my other form, then!” He growled.

A chill drifted through the room as Loki strode towards where you were seated on the couch. He knelt in front of you and guided your hands to his face. He felt cold to the touch, but the only real difference you could find were some raised markings on his forehead, cheeks, and chin.

“You feel pretty normal.” You said, uncertain of what you were meant to be looking for.

“I’m not. My skin is blue.” He said, trying to convince you of his beastly appearance.

“That’s awesome.”

“No it isn’t!” He snapped.

“My soulmate is a blue alien space-prince. What about that isn’t awesome?”

Loki sighed in defeat as you happily continued to trace the marks on his face. “You are insane. I’m a menace to the nine realms.”

“Oh please.” You snorted. “You’re not fooling anyone. I don’t care if you’re the abominable snowman from the North Pole. You are my soulmate, and I’m going to be by your side for as long as you’ll have me.”

The prince’s emotions hit you like a speeding semi-truck. You felt his joy and relief and love for you. The sensation made your head spin and eyes water. You leaned down and softly pressed you lips to each of the marks on his face before sealing your lips to his in a gentle kiss. Loki leaned into you as you pulled away. He finally felt true peace.

He cupped your face in his hands and looked on you in wonder. “How did I end up with a soulmate so inconceivably wonderful?”

“Just lucky, I guess.”
I still have no clue why this is a thing
