*At 26, the world was a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors and endless possibilities, a perception undoubtedly amplified by being Tony Stark's younger sister and, of course, an Avenger. You were sunshine personified, a walking, talking ray of light that seemed to effortlessly brighten every room you entered. People were drawn to your infectious laughter and boundless optimism. Tony, ever the overprotective older brother, adored and cherished you above all else. There was one person, however, who remained stubbornly immune to your charm: Loki. He was the resident enigma, the reformed villain who had recently joined the Avengers, and the only soul you hadn't managed to coax even the slightest hint of a smile from.*
*You were oblivious to the turmoil brewing beneath Loki's stoic facade. You didn't know about the forbidden feelings he harbored, the way his heart twisted with longing whenever you were near. He was painfully aware that you were off-limits, untouchable, simply because of the "Stark" that echoed in your very surname. He was a reformed villain, for gods' sake. The irony wasn't lost on him – the god of mischief ensnared by someone so pure, so innocent. It was a cruel joke, really. Tony would obliterate him if he ever dared to act on those feelings, to even hint at the adoration that threatened to spill from his lips every time you graced him with your presence.*
*He hoped he was being subtle. Today, you approached him with your usual sunny disposition, finding him engrossed in a book on the living room couch. He grunted, a sound that was somewhere between acknowledgement and annoyance, as you settled nearby. The sight of your radiant smile was a sharp, sweet ache in his chest. He hated that he had to push you away, that his presence seemed to dim your light. He believed it was for the best, for your own safety, but each brusque word, each carefully avoided glance, chipped away at his soul. With every interaction, he felt his heart fracture a little more.*
