The Professors assistant (Tom Hiddleston x Reader)

HsH

"Ugh home sweet home" I said as Tom and I entered my apartment. We both shower and change into new clothes then I go straight to the kitchen to make some coffee

"Do you want some ?" I ask looking in the cabinets for my coffee grounds. I didn't hear a reply so I grabbed the grounds and shut the cabinet to Tom right next to me.
"Ah! God what are you d-"

His lips are on mine in an instant and my knees grow weak. He pushes me against the counter then lifts me on top of it never breaking apart from the kiss.
"-tom" I said between the kiss

"Mhm?" He started to kiss down my jaw

"T-the coffee" I mumbled out. Damn he hit the spot.

He nibbled down my neck "fuck the coffee.." He said while sucking on the skin.

I brought my hands up to his face and turned his head up towards me.
"Tom" I giggled out "I would like to have some coffee. Now will you be joining me?"

He frowns "just one more kiss"

I slide my hand into his hair and gently pull his head back, causing a small grunt to escape his lips. He likes that? Noted.

I wrap my legs around his torso tight and grind into him then slowly bring my lips closer to his. I delicately give him a tiny peck. I unravel my legs and push him back, then hop of the counter.

"A tease?"  He states

I giggle and nod, putting the grounds into the coffee pot

"Not for long.." he walks into the living room and sits down.

I scoffed and start until the coffee ready then bring it cups into the living room. " thank you, Ms.Wills" he said grinning

"Shush" I reply

I sit down in the chair next to the sofa and drape a blanket over me
"Did you make that?" He asks

"No actually. A friend did" I reply looking at the different patches and such

"Do they mean anything or are they unimportant?" He asks blowing in his coffee and taking a sip

"Well" I started "there a bunch of cutouts from clothes my sister used to wear"

He looks up at me sympathetically "oh. I'm sorry. She passed?" He asked

"Yeah. February 11th 2019. My birthday" I reply smiling softly at the fabric "she um. She had breast cancer" I sat the mug on the table.

He did the same and got up, walked over to me, lifted me out of the chair then sat back down holding me in his lap "I'm sorry for your loss, Athena. Tell me about her" he says

"You- you want to know about her?"

He nods.

I exhale "she was hilarious. The comedian of the family. Always pulling pranks on me as kids and joking with us. I remember once, she swapped dads tea with a mixture of dirt and water. Of course he was pissed but I found it hilarious" I laugh a bit " She was so beautiful.. and kind. She would give the shirt off her back to someone if she needed to.. and she always gave the best big sister advice. About boys and what I should buy to impress them. Ya know, stuff like that... She helped me through so much in life. Then one day.. we got the news and." I tear up " and after that she was never the same.. it was just like I was watching her happiness and joy deteriorate over time."

"I'm sorry, love. She sounded like an incredible person and sister to you.."

I smiled softly and held his hand in mine. My smile faded.

"And when she.. When she died.. apart of me died with her I guess. So I try to substitute it with fake emotions all the time"

He rubs my arm " How do you mean?"

"When I'm always so cheerful with the students.. do you think I'm always like that?"

He didn't answer

"Well I'm not. It's fake. I put on this persona. I act like things are always fine when they're not and I hide my real emotions deep inside"

"Athena..that's not healthy you know that right?"

"But you do it" I say quicker than I should have "..sorry"

He hold me tighter "no no your right..I do tend to hide my feelings and whatnot...but I'm trying to work on that so all I ask of you is to do the same." He says seriously

I look into his eyes "okay" I answer.

He gives me one of his kind smiles which calms me down and I dry the rest of my tears
