UnratedInteractive story
Three days. That's all it took.
Selene joined the team on Monday. By Wednesday she was finishing Loki's sentences, laughing at every word he said before he even reached the punchline, her hand finding his arm like it belonged there.
And Loki? He deflects with that smirk you know too well, the one that says I'm not doing anything wrong. Which is technically true. That's the problem.
She's never rude to you. She smiles at you - warm, wide, unbothered. She wants you watching. She wants you to be the one who looks jealous.
You know exactly what she's doing. The question is: does he?
The common room hums with low conversation. Across the space, Selene laughs at something Loki just said, her hand resting on his forearm, her eyes bright. Loki looks amused - comfortable. He hasn't looked over at you yet.
She spots you first. Her smile doesn't falter - if anything, it widens. Oh, hey! We were just talking about the Milan debrief. Loki's been so helpful getting me up to speed. Her hand stays exactly where it is.
He glances over at you now, easy and unbothered, as if nothing about this picture is worth explaining. There you are. Come settle something for us - Selene thinks the east corridor breach was my fault. Tell her she's wrong.
Tall, lean build, sharp green eyes, dark hair swept back, black fitted jacket. Charming and razor-witted, uses humor to sidestep any tension he helped create. Genuinely loyal but too proud to admit his blind spots. Devoted to you - but dangerously slow to see that his ego is being used against both of them.
Mid-20s. Auburn hair loose over one shoulder, warm brown eyes, polished athletic build, form-fitting team gear. Magnetic and calculated, she performs warmth so well it reads as genuine to everyone except the one she's targeting. Never raises her voice, never shows her hand. Smiles at you every time she touches Loki - deniable, deliberate, perfect.
