That Smile -- Loki Laufeyson Love Story

Chapter 2

—————

Amelia sneaked into the tower, soaking wet, hoping not to be noticed. Well it was 4 in the morning, Cap and Nat only get up at 4:30, so she had plenty of time. All she wanted to do was sleep, to escape from her sorrows, her problems. But little did she know, there was an endless alley filled with sorrow that she had to walk through in the near future.

She didn't even have the energy to take a shower, she couldn't. She tried to pull herself together. She was not going to cry over a boy. The same lanky boy who dated endless girls, not to mention cheat on every single one of them and Amelia happened to be one of those clueless girls. But she was the only one that gave him chance after chance, to prove himself. She let him in, she told him everything, how could he do such a thing to her. How could the Maximilian, the boy she knew since she was a kid, become so...... so horrible. Before she even noticed, hot tears spilled from her eyes, she couldn't even make it back to her room.

Amelia quietly propped herself onto the couch. Her head buried in a pillow, trying to cancel out her sobs. What was she thinking, everyone told her, everyone warned her about him, yet she thought she found the good in him. No, there was no good in him, he was just a young dimwitted boy, he didn't deserve her, did not deserve anything she had given him. Just like that, after what felt like an eternity to Amelia, she slowly drifted into sleep, hoping that she would get up, and all her troubles would go away.

Tony's POV

I walked into the living room, about to make my way to the kitchen as I saw a small figure lying on the couch, instantly I recognised her. Her wavy light brown hair fell on her rosy cheeks. A smile plastered onto my face. Amelia, my lovely and witty daughter. My smile quickly faded away as I saw Steve and Natasha standing over her, whispering. I walked over to them,

"What's going on?" I asked suspiciously while having an eyebrow raised.

"Saw her like this when we came in" stated Nat.

"She isn't usually like this, Stark" said Cap.

As I turned over to look at Amelia, her mascara smudged below her eyes. My face now worried, I gently patted her, hopefully not startling her. Amelia's eyes immediately opened,  she jolted up and accidentally tripped, landing onto Steve's arms.

"Whoa calm down now Humpty Dumpty" I chuckled.

"I- I'm sorry Cap" Amelia nervously said while quickly straightening her dress.

"What happened Amelia?" Nat asked.

"It's nothing, dont worry about it." Amelia then got up and started to head for her room.

"Slow down there Flash" I joked but was still worried.

"It's nothing Dad, trust me, it's- it's nothing" Amelia said while her eyes were looking down at her feet.

She was never really fond of the way she looked, but to me she was the most beautiful woman i have ever seen, just like her mother. Then again, her mother was a goddess, so of course Amelia is extremely beautiful, my genes helped too of course. I snapped out of my trance before interrogating her further.

"Amelia, please tell us what's going on." Steve begged.

"Please let's just drop it ok? I'm not really comfortable talking about this right now." Amelia whined.

I was about to say something before Nat put a hand on my shoulder, signaling that I should give my 20 year old daughter some space. But to me, oh to me, she will always be my little girl. I shrugged while watching Amelia walk back towards her room.
