so >:3 a follow up to the Loki Adam reader thingy earlier!! jealousy headcanons, when someone flirts with reader, Loki when someone flirts with Adam, and vice versa!! would it be different if someone were to flirt with the reader rather than Adam or Loki?
MARVEL RIVALS - Adam Warlock and Loki Laufeyson with Polyamorous Reader Jealousy Headcanons
Note(s): This is a bit shorter, I'm not too good at writing jealousy... Hope you liked it anyway!
I don't actually think Adam would get jealous, at least not in an overly angry or confrontational way. If he ever spots you with somebody, and either you and them are a little too friendly for his tastes, he would most likely just ask you afterwards, when the person isn't in earshot, if you actually have feelings for that person. It's not necessarily in a judgmental way, because he (assumedly) does not know them. Adam wouldn't find a reason to be threatened by a stranger, especially not in a relationship that has already been established as ready to accept others.
If Adam witnesses Loki being flirtatious? Well, it's a little different for him. Because, at the end of the day, Adam knows what kind of a person Loki is. He knows that he wouldn't actually go out of his way to cheat, and if he did want somebody else in the relationship, he would make it obvious. Not by asking the two of you and discussing it, but by pathetically floundering around and attempting to avoid them like they're a monsterous plague.
I think Adam would genuinely be willing to hear you out on accepting somebody else into the relationship. Naturally, you'd also have to ask Loki about that. But, even if he did have feelings for somebody else, Loki would probably never want somebody else in the relationship. He's settled where he is, so do not joust the alligator from his basking spot or he'll start violently spinning in protest.
If it's somebody Adam knows, or just is aware of, it might be a little different. Depending on his and your relationship with them, genuine spouts of ugly jealousy could arise. Especially if it's somebody he does not enjoy the presence of.
For example, Adam loves the guardians, he considers them family. And, that's where it gets awkward. Imagine your sibling flirting with your partner, and there's a genuine possibility that your sibling could end up with your partner whilst being with you? Yeah. Awkward. Quill knows to back off, because he's never seen Adam glare quite as hard as he did when he attempted to hook an arm around your hip. Did he mean it in a flirtatious way? Probably not. But, Adam is not interested in finding out.
Loki, however, is objectively jealous in almost every situation that jealousy could arise in. Even with you and Adam sometimes. It always starts with him saying he doesn't need or want your affections, that he isn't some newborn pleading for his mother to hold him, he can stand to go without affection for decades. But, the moment he sees you and Adam doing anything remotely affectionate without him? He's storming over, steam practically shooting out of his ears, as he demands to know why he is not being appreciated.
This largely happens at the start of your relationship, but it can still spot over into the later stages.
With strangers it's even worse, because unlike when jealousy comes on between you and Adam, there is a genuine possibility that Loki would actually harm a stranger over his jealousy. How dare somebody disrespect both him and his lovers by assuming they would be unfaithful, and that he would just allow that to happen? But, what can start out as a dangerous confrontation can easily be swayed to something more comforting.
But, if it's somebody Loki knows? Well, Loki is deadly quiet when genuine jealousy gets mixed in. Especially if, for example, you or Adam started talking to Thor, and it got a little too friendly for his tastes. Oh, expect the most genuine rage you could witness of him. He will seethe. Quietly. And, that's how you can tell Loki is really angry. When he doesn't say he is. When he grits his teeth and grabs one of your arms, leading you away.
Loki is a peacock of a man who enjoys his feathers to be preened. So, compliment him, assure him, and his anger disappears. Some will still simmer. Anger always simmers for Loki. But, as long as you never forget what kind of a person you're with, Adam is happy to praise your shared boyfriend with you.
However, their reactions to each other's jealousy is objectively the most funny thing about it.
When Loki notices Adam giving Quill a glare, or perhaps making a face when a certain symbiote gets too close to either of you, he will play it up. 'Oh, Mr. Star Lord. Please, tell me more about your accolades. I am dying to hear all of your wondrous adventurers.' whilst dramatically laying back on a couch. Where did he get the couch? It's Loki.
Adam will sit in the back giving Loki the ol' homophobic dog. One eyebrow will be fully raised, a beady eye trained on Loki as he observes the interaction with bated breath. It ends before it begins, because Loki could frankly not care less about Quill or Venom, or whoever he faux flirts with, but Adam will definitely be grouchy for a few minutes over it.
Adam would only play up his interactions with others if he's in a truly teasing mood that day, and if Loki had perhaps bugged him about something. It's never as intense as the dangerous smirks and purring tones of Loki's teasing, but it's almost... Domestic? Adam will place a hand on their shoulder or back to guide them, tell them heartfelt stories, smiling and praising them.
Loki's eye will twitch in fury. And Adam will watch him. That's all his attention is truly on in this situation. Partly so he can pull away from that person and go to his boyfriend if he can tell it's getting serious in the jealousy department, but hey, he always goes home with you two afterwards and you all chill for the rest of the night. So, it's fine.
