Markings

Author's Note: I'm only behind about 30 TikTok parts or so, in comparison to writing them in detail here! It sounds like a lot, but trust me, if you've been here the entire time, you know that's pretty good for me lol. Hope you'll stick around for story #5 as well! It's in the planning stages as I type x

Loki is talking with Thor, while you wait for Tony in the mainroom of the tower. You absentmindedly tap your phone on the countertop of the table.

"Do you not agree, Y/N?" Thor says from the other side of the table, but you don't hear him.

"Darling?" Loki lightly takes your hand in his.

"Hm? Sorry. Just...thinking," now your leg is jumping as well.

"About?" Loki places his hand on your leg to stop it.

"A...little of everything? I'm fine though," your leg fights against Loki's grip.

Loki stiffens at your choice of word and is about to answer, but the elevator opening stops him.

Nat, Steve, Tony, and Clint all walk inside.

"Thank God you're back! The one Stark I can stand," Nat comes right to you for a hug.

"I'm right here," Tony frowns with a pout.

"Can you not be?" Nat releases you.

"Great to see you too, Nat," you laugh.

When Nat pulls back, your shirt moves and she catches part of Loki's mark on you, "What the HELL is that?!"

She moves the collar of your shirt a little more, "Well, here's the thing..."

Her eyes widen, "Jesus! Where the hell were Thor and Loki when this happened?!"

"Loki was...closer than you'd think..." you try to formulate a response and explanation in your head.

"Then I will kill him myself!" anger seeps from Nat's voice.

Attention from everyone has now been drawn to you, "Ms. Romanoff never gets angry. What's going...?" Tony walks over as well.

You watch Tony's gaze move to the mark that's still visible, "Now, Tony, before you jump to conclusions..."

"Conclusions?! Banner is taking a look at this NOW. Maybe he can treat it," Tony moves closer to examine it.

"Treatment of any kind will not be necessary," Loki says in a calm tone.

"THAT," Tony points, "Looks extremely painful!"

Loki runs the tip of his finger over your mark, causing you to bite your tongue to suppress a moan.

Loki smirks, continuing to move his finger slowly, "I can assure you that pain, is definitely not the feeling Y/N has."

You step to the side, out of Loki's reach, reluctantly, "I promise you, I am not injured."

"You keep insisting, but it looks serious!" Tony folds his arms across his chest, unconvinced.

"It is, but not in the way..." you try to explain further.

"I gave it to Y/N," Loki's statement brings silence to the room.

"You....?" Tony tries to even form a sentence. 

You see Loki, who almost looks...nervous, shifting on his feet.

"And what?" suddenly Tony's attention is turned back to you. "You just LET this happen?! Decided to reenact Twilight?! This is sick! I can't believe you wou...!"

Loki teleports directly in front of you, between you and Tony now, "As I told Thor, you will mind. Your. Tongue. Around. My. Mate."

"Right now my concern is Y/N. I will deal with YOU in a second," Tony doesn't back down and takes a step closer to Loki.

"You will deal with us together," Loki's upper lip curls in anger.

Tony half-laughs, "Since when?"

"Since this," Loki now moves his shirt, showing his matching mate mark.

When Tony takes another step to Loki to see closer, Loki matches his movements and backs up.

"Y/N is the only thing preventing me from giving you a second journey from that window, so I strongly suggest you halt," Loki now stands at your side.

Tony stops, switching his eyes from your mark, to Loki's and back again, "So...if Loki did that to you, then you...."

You nod.

"You guys have some weird ass traditions on Asgard," Sam speaks up.

"These Mate Markings are not of Asgardian heritage," Loki explains.

"Frost Giant?" a calmer Nat returns to the conversation.

Loki tilts his head up as a yes, "Yes. It is the official symbol that one has been claimed. Spoken for."

Tony reaches out to touch your marking, but Loki swats his hand away, "Mine." He practically growls, and as Loki does, his arm, neck, and head start to turn blue.

You spin to face Loki, "Hey. I'm right here."

When Loki's gaze doesn't leave Tony's, you bring his hand right above your heart, where the mark is, which Loki starts to trace once again.

Your breath catches, "You...." You swallow, "Need to stop that."

"Mine," Loki repeats, now with a slight smirk, seeing the effect it's having on you.

"He has to have Y/N in some sort of trance!" Tony waves his arm. "This is insane!"

"There is no trance!" that snaps you out of Loki's movement. "I love him!"

Tony's eyes widen at your confession, "You.." He looks behind you, over your shoulder, at Loki, "YOU!"

"Love Y/N," Loki says unfazed by Tony's outburst, his skin returning to normal.

Tony freezes completely, movement and speech.

"So if you think that for a SECOND that I would allow anyone or anything..." Loki pauses. "I would meet my demise before anything were to happen to Y/N."

Loki's words hang in the air for nearly a minute, no one saying a single word.

"Y/N is my family. They are all I have left," Tony mutters.

"And I have never given you reason to trust a single word that I have spoken," Loki also speaks quieter now.

Tony holds back a laugh, clenching his jaw.

Loki goes to speak again, but you step-in, "But I do. I trust BOTH of you. And I need you to trust ME, Tony. Please."

Tony takes a deep breath in and runs his hand through his hair.

Meanwhile, Loki places both of his hands on your shoulders, his fingertips just touching your mark, causing you to stiffen once more.

You almost get lost in the sensation, when Tony chimes in, "Your room hasn't been touched. You're....both, welcome to stay."

Your jaw falls open. That's the last thing you were expecting Tony to say.

"Go," he motions to the hallway. "Before I have the chance to change my mind and come to my senses."

Loki's ready to say something else, but you drag him down the hallway, directly to your room and close the door.

"Should I be concer...." Loki stares at you from a few feet away.

You don't let him finish his sentence though. You pull Loki to you by his shirt and kiss him.

Loki hums against your lips, tangling a hand into your hair. 

You shake your head and take that same hand, putting it back on your mark, "You have something you need to finish."

A grin spreads across Loki's face, as he guides you back to your bed.
