When Loki was taken by the TVA, he is forced to watch a montage of what could've been his future. In that montage, he finds out that he will fall in love with a young Midgardian woman, who he would've met a year after the Battle of New York.
And thi...

Wanda whistles quietly while staring in the same direction as he is. "Damn. She looks really good. The colors are familiar," she smirks and glances at his own clothes, Loki gulps.
From the distance, Loki watches Anya throw her head back in laughter while shutting her eyes. Loki almost grinned at the sight, if it weren't for his eyes going to the reason why she's laughing in the first place.
It was the Prince of Wakanda, who was smiling as he speaks to her.
Loki slightly narrows his eyes and starts making his way towards them.
Wanda raises her brows and Vision goes to her side. "This is going to be fun to watch." She tells Vision, who only chuckles.
Loki walks to them with steady strides, and sees that even the Prince of Wakanda went with the Asgardian theme. Loki wanted to roll his eyes because, of course, the prince looked good. He probably looks amazing in anything.
Anya finally sees Loki and her eyes light up. "Loki!"
"Hello, you look stunning." He politely kisses her cheek. "I like the colors," he whispers quietly to her ear, and smirks when he feels the slight shiver of her spine. Loki pulls away and puts on a charming smile as if nothing happened, and turns to the other prince. "Your Highness." Loki politely bows his head.
"Please, let us put our formalities aside. It is T'challa." The prince smiles warmly. "Pleased to see you again, Loki." He politely shakes his hand.
"T'challa, I should apologize again for the incident of freezing and transporting you against your will." Loki gives him a very firm handshake.
T'challa only laughs. "It was an effective way to stop us all. I should thank you."
Loki wants to groan in frustration over how kind the prince is. Loki can't even dislike him. Anya smiles brightly by Loki's side and the Prince of Asgard offers his arm to her. Anya takes it and tells T'challa that she will talk to him later.
When they were at a fair distance, Loki leans down again. "I should warn you, jealousy is the feeling I dislike the most."
Anya raises a brow. "T'challa? Are you serious? He's a friend."
"He was seconds away to asking you to be the Princess of Wakanda. I could hear his heartbeat." Loki mumbles before flashing an amused smile. "Tell me, my little Terran, do you have a certain attraction to princes?"
She widens her eyes and scoffs at him. "Don't be dramatic. He has a girlfriend, and she's here."
"In that case, I shall pray for her soul."
Anya smacks his chest and Loki wanted to place a possessive arm around her waist and touch the exposed skin peeking from her dress.
Loki looks at her with a smirk. "You look ravishing, by the way."
Anya scoffs in amusement. "Thank you. Although, I should tell you that I put all these together last minute. Nat didn't think we'll finish the job on time enough to get here."
"Hm, I can see that. Something is quite missing from your outfit."
Anya looks down at her dress, and curiously glances at him. "What's missing?"
Loki gracefully twists his hand, with his fingers curling. Out of nowhere, Anya feels something cold and heavy around her neck, and she gasps as she looks down. Adorning her neck and chest is a golden necklace with shining emerald gems to match her dress. "Oh, Christ," she gapes at the jewelry.
He hesitantly peers at her face. "Do you... do you like it?"
"Loki, this is... this is beautiful." She grins brightly, and Loki can tell that this is the first time she has ever worn jewelry like this. "Isn't it a bit too much, though?"
Loki relaxes and he smiles at her, offering his arm. "No such thing as too much for you, darling." He whispers to her ear, and she flushes before pushing him with a glare. Loki chuckles at her being shy as he leads her to Thor, who is still singing Asgardian songs off-key.
Thor claps a palm on Loki's back, making him let out a pained noise and glare. "Brother! You should show your talents in singing as well!"
"Oh, no. I'd spare their ears." Loki grimaces, and Anya's face brightens up.
"You can sing?" Anya exclaims over the loud bard music.
Before Loki could deny it, Thor laughs. "My brother has a great singing voice, Lady Anya! He can woo your heart with his voice."
Loki briefly widens his eyes and chuckles to cover his nervousness. "Brother, I'll let you have the spotlight for tonight. This is to celebrate you."
Thor glances at Anya, and notices the necklace delicately placed around her neck. Anya sees the way he looked at her necklace and she consciously, touches the gems with her nimble fingers.
If it were possible, Thor's eyes brighten even more and he grabs Loki. Thor presses a smacking kiss on his brother's cheek, to which he grunts in disgust before pushing him away while cursing in Asgardian and wiping his cheek. Anya smiles at the way the two brothers are interacting. They look so happy that they are with one another again.
When the band starts playing an upbeat music, Thor happily laughs again before going to grab Jane and leading her to the dancefloor, much to her amused protests. Everyone looked for their partner and started dancing in such a quick way. It's definitely a change from the boring waltzes. Thor didn't lie about how energetic Asgardians are.
Natasha dances with Sam, Wanda with Vision, Tony with Pepper and Rhodey with Maria Hill. They were all laughing together as they try to keep up with Thor's dance moves and the other dancers.
Jane Foster grins widely, and anyone can tell that she deeply missed Thor more than anyone other than Loki.
Speaking of Loki... he glances at Anya, and he smirks.
She meets his gaze and tilts her head before her eyes widen and her smile fades. "No. No, no, no, no—"
Loki fell deaf from her protests and tugs her to the dancefloor and lifts her from the ground with a laugh. Anya yelps and holds on to Loki's shoulder and hand. He just chuckles and leads her through the dancefloor to follow whatever Thor and Jane are dancing.
The God of Mischief would spin her around, and at certain beats, everyone would clap in sync while hollering. It truly felt like Loki was back on Asgard. When Anya relaxes, Loki realizes just how fully she trusts him as he takes the lead. She was magnificent to look at, and she was having so much fun dancing with Loki without caring that anyone is watching. Loki had to hold himself back from kissing her from how wonderful she is.
When the dance ends with a jump, everyone applauds and cheers for Thor and Jane. Thor raises his fists and cheers with them, with a happy Jane by his side. While everyone's attention is on Thor and Jane, Loki only watches Anya as she grins at his brother.
While no one is watching, Loki reaches for Anya's hand to hold as the others cheer for Thor.
For once, Loki is glad all attention is on his brother and not him, just so he could have another private moment with this woman.
