imagine confessing your feelings to Loki when it's your last day of work and staying at the Avengers Tower. Your thought was that if he rejected you, at least you wouldn't have to see him almost every other day.
Loki looks at you in shock when he hears your confession. Why was he shocked? You didn't get it.
Shaking his head at you, Loki slowly backs away: "I...no, that's ridiculous..."
He was muttering more to himself than anything, as his look of shock practically turned to horror, and he stopped backing away.
It really hurt.
Why was he acting like this? The two of you had had some pretty friendly coversations...at least, you had thought so. You were on the verge of tears, seeing his practically negative reaction to your confession.
"...I-It's okay. I just wanted you to know, and maybe...you might have reciprocated, or wanted to try..." You bit your lower lip, forcing yourself to say what you wanted to. As soon as you finished, you turned tail and ran.
A broken heart really hurt.
Even after he couldn't see you anymore, Loki was still standing there. He simply...couldn't process it.
Surely it was a joke? Had you actually confessed your love to a monster like him? Loki chuckled lowly to himself as he turned away, but he couldn't forget the hurt in your eyes.
....And the love he saw in them as well.
