#loki dance

Pairing: Loki x Reader

Word Count: 640

"What are you listening to?" Loki has plucked an earbud from your ear, and while usually that would just irritate you, you feel your heart skip a beat instead. "Sit down here and you can listen to." You pat the couch next to you, and he lithely slides down. He puts the earbud in and you crank up the volume a bit. "It's nice." "Ah, you like them?" "Sure." "You don't seem to." "I only like a very specific kind of music." "And what kind of music is that, Mr. Critic?" "Music I can dance to." "You can dance to this!" "It's borderline rock music, how can you dance to that." You unplug the earbuds, high energy guitar with silky smooth lyrics coming out and filling the room. You stand up and start to dance, eyes closed as you let yourself be enveloped by the notes. Hips move to the percussion, feet kicking out with riffs. Hands reach above your head, arms swaying to a man singing sad words with a cloak of happiness, smile on your face as your heart becomes one with the drum. As the song ends you hear clapping, and opening your eyes reveal a smirking Loki leaning back on the couch and staring over you. "Don't smile like that, it makes me feel dirty." You laugh, swatting at his hands and falling on the couch next to him. "You should feel dirty, that wasn't real dancing at all." He chuckles. "Real dancing? Wow, such an elitist." "That was moving to the music. Dancing has steps. Like your Midgardian waltz." "Isn't that just moving with the music?" "Yes, but it's structured." "And that's supposed to be better." "Yes." "I would contest this more but I've never slow-danced before." "What?" "I've never waltzed." Loki stares at you blankly before grabbing the phone and quickly searching. Soon, an orchestra fills the room and Loki leaps to his feet. "Well?" He stretches a hand towards you and as soon as you touch it he pulls you up to your feet and snakes his other hand around your waist. "Wow, this is...close." You chuckle nervously as he pulls you closer to him. "It's what's needed. Now, I'll lead. We're just going to move in a box with our feet." Gripping your hand and waist, he steps forward on your foot as you step forward too, stepping on his foot. "Oh, sorry." "Don't worry about it, didn't feel a thing. Just imagine our feet like magnets, following each other." He steps to the side then to the back, and you step forward and fill the box. "Like that?" "Exactly like that. We do that for an entire box." "Huh. Seems pretty simple." "Yes, most children know it." "You're so mean to me." "It's good for children to know true dancing." "I'm not a child, and this isn't true dancing." "Ah, then what is?" You're both still dancing slowly, even though the song had finished long ago. "Any dancing is true dancing as long as you feel the music." "What if there is no music?" "I said feel the music, not hear the music. Music can be a lot of things, and sometimes you just have to let go of yourself and feel it." "Like now?" "Like right now." Loki suddenly grips onto your waist tighter and dips you down, leaving you slightly breathless as his face hovers over yours. "Are you feeling the music?" "Loki, what-" He kisses you, keeping you strong against him in his arms, then suddenly disconnects and puts you on your own two feet, twirling you around then pulling you back into his arms. "I was feeling the music too." He murmurs down into your ear. Exhilarated, you put your face against his chest as you both start to sway to music no one else can hear.
