Bruce/Loki thoughts
1) They both have lost people they care deeply about 2) They both have authority figures with eye patches (Odin, Fury) 3) They both have destroyed parts of New York 4) They both can change skin colour and form
They both think they’re monsters but they’re both sweethearts.
Basically I imagine it fluffy as fuck. They’re both petrified of being “scary” or letting people down. So when they first talk, it’s about topical things. They both value each other’s intelligence and Loki makes Bruce laugh, not something that’s easy to do. They help each other out of a self-deprecating cycle and they know that each other’s affection is hard-won and valuable. Both of them have massive trust issues, especially when it comes to their bodies. They both think they’re ugly and unloveable. So it starts with gentle “accidental” hand touches. Then an embrace. A stroke of the hair, a fix of the shirt collar. The first time they kiss, it’s almost unbearably tentative and gentle.
And that’s all I can focus on at the moment without getting all flushed.
