“Better hunt me than destroy you on the way to me.” Oura said softly, when he pulled away so abruptly, he didn’t really want to. At least, she hoped he was trying to not pull away from her touch. Olive green eyes staring into his gaze, searching it, then withdrawing her hand. Her fingers curling into her palm. 

Then she looked down and bit her lip. Saying goodbye was hard enough, but she was keeping him safe. This was the right thing to do. It had to be the right thing to do. 

“And if he hunts me, I will destroy everything around me to keep him away. Him, planets, people.” For the first time in a very long time, there was a great deal of discomfort in the way she held herself. “I don’t want to destroy you, Loki.” 

She wanted to hold his face between her hands, but she couldn’t bring her stare up from the ground. It was too cloudy and foggy, her eyes were stinging.

Her other hand slid up his neck to cradle the other side of his jaw to allow his movement. She almost leaned away when he came closer, but that was just reflexive. She didn’t want to give him space. She wanted to crowd him into cramped corners and cover him in her. But she had to know he wanted it too. That her wanting this was okay. That she was happy for the color she chose since he couldn’t see her flush. 

She shifted her knees so she was all but straddling his lap, her right hand covering the back of his neck. His hair was soft against her knuckles. 

“I will surely take advantage of that.” She whispered before pressing her lips to his all too gently. Still testing boundaries and what he may or may not like.

She didn’t expect more people to talk to her. SHIELD knew what she was and informed it’s agents and soldiers accordingly. Which meant most of them didn’t talk around or to her and got tense if she moved too suddenly. Of the infinity stones, she was the most likely to destroy a planet. Even if she had two feet on it already. 

She wasn’t a ruler. She was a destroyer, and destroyers didn’t bargain. 

Even as she just fiddled with a rubix cube between her hands. There was someone watching her. More than one someone. Putting humans at ease was too much effort, if she was being frank. And it was very boring. One thing she knew they were trying to figure out: How to destroy her. How to incapacitate her. How to gain the upper hand. 

At his words, she looked up and blinked a few times before smiling slightly, “You’re the first one that’s asked me that since I’ve gotten here.” Her voice even felt unused, save for her occasional screaming in the workplace bathroom. There was too much power building up under the surface of her skin, too much energy to be quiet for very long periods of time. “Oura. And I wouldn’t say they took me in--they only take in those they have any chance at controlling.” 

He was familiar. Strange and familiar. It was something about his eyes, but not his skin. Too pink. Too pale. 

“And you are?” 

She didn’t notice the way the zeros on her forearm blinked to get her attention.

“a little close” [ from loki ]

Send “a little close” for our muses to get stuck in a small space together.

“We’ll get out soon.” Oura said without another thought to it, all too comfortable being close to him. Touching him in a general sense. So it didn’t bother her. His heartbeat under her hand before she started feeling around the walls for some give. She could just burn through them, but she didn’t want to burn him by mistake. After all, he was rather sensitive to heat.
