"I wont tell them, you know" Steve said softly. "I wont tell anyone. It'll just stay between you and me".

"I'm not very comfortable with it being between me and anyone. I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I was granted just a shred of privacy" Loki interjected.

"You know I'm not going to disrespect your brothers commands in such a way-"

"So you're completely fine with disrespecting me?" Loki cut in.

"You know, you should be happy with the amount of respect I am granting you. You'll remember you're here as a prisoner" Steve replied sharply. He was trying to be as empathetic as possible with Loki, and he did feel bad for him, but he couldn't let Loki take full advantage of him so early on. It was Loki, and deceiving people is what he did. But Steve wasn't going to fall for it. "So you really have two options. Either I change your diaper, or I get Thor to come in and deal with you".

Loki recoiled a little. He realized he was trying to push Steve too far too fast. He may be more sympathetic than the rest, but he wasn't a pushover. Of course Loki was horrified that Steve would be changing his diaper, but a small part of him felt a bit of respect for him for staying firm.

"I guess then, if those are my only options I'll have you do it.." he replied.

He wanted to stay firm and flat out refuse it, but he knew the best that would earn him was a couple more hours in his wet diaper. It had started to chafe against his skin, and he desperately wanted off. So for now, he accepted his defeat.

"Okay," Steve said patting Loki's back, "Thanks for cooperating. Just hold tight and I'll be back with the... Erm, supplies".

...

Steve returned not long after with a fresh diaper, some cream, wipes, a changing mat, and a bottle of baby powder.

Steve set the changing mat down on the bed, and slowly placed all the supplies he'd be needing next to it. Slowly it was sinking in what he'd actually be doing.

"You know how to do this, right?" Loki called from the floor.

"I've changed plenty of diapers before.. Never really in someone your size though" he joked, letting out a nervous laugh.

"I'll consider it an honour then. Being the first fully grown adult to have their diaper changed by the great Captain America" Loki said sarcastically. He just wanted to get it over with.

Steve smiled at Loki. He may be in the most vulnerable and humiliating position ever, but he still kept up his vindictive side.

"Come on," Steve said, ushering him onto the mat.

He helped Loki out of his pants before he laid down on the mat.

Loki just lay there, looking up at Steve, waiting for him to start. Steve pushed up Loki's sweatshirt to get better access to the diaper. He swallowed, and proceeded to open the tapes on the diaper. He wasn't sure if he was ready to fold back the front of the diaper. He had never really had much contact with another mans area before... And it was a really weird situation to be in, being that he was about to clean urine from Loki's crotch.

Loki looked away from him, much to Steve's relief. It was a hard task to do with the god looking up at him.

Finally he bit the bullet and opened up the diaper. He looked down at Loki's crotch. He didn't have much to say about it, it was a crotch and it was damp. Though, it was a little intimidating.

He blushed a little as he grabbed a wipe. "I'm sorry about this" Steve said. Because as much as he wanted to remain firm in Thor's commands, he was totally violating Loki's space right now.

"It's okay" Loki replied. Because he understood. It was hard to be mad at Steve, because all he wanted to do was the right thing, and in some twisted way Thor had made this into the right thing.

Steve quickly wiped up the area. He cleaned it thoroughly, before lifting Loki's legs and pulling the diaper from beneath him. He held him up and wiped his bottom. I guess superhuman strengths good for changing adult diapers Steve thought.

He placed the clean diaper below Loki's bottom, and lowered him down. He opened the cap on the cream and poured some in his hand. "Thor told us to put this on you... Said you were getting a bit of a rash" Steve told Loki, and he spread the cold cream on Loki's crotch.

Steve finished the job up with a few sprinkles of baby powder and taped the diaper shut. He pulled the sweatpants onto Loki and helped him into a sitting position. Possibly more than was necessary, but he was so used to doing it with toddlers that it just happened.

"You feel better now?" Steve asked, breaking the weird silence.

"Actually, much...Thank you" Loki answered. "I just... I wonder, how are you okay with doing this? Does it not upset you that my brother brings me here with little notice, and announces to you all that you'll be my personal nanny's for the next however long?"

"I think the others are enjoying this... I mean... Of course you know they find it humorous. But I don't see it that way. I kind of agree with Thor, this probably will help you" Steve explained.

"I wish instead of helping me they would just punish me. Would it not be less humiliating to be left alone in the dungeons?"

"Loki, you know your family doesn't want that. Letting you rot in the dungeon with your thoughts isn't going to teach you anything. It would just serve to keep that resentment you have for your family growing" Steve said, he wanted Loki to see that his family wasn't against him.

But Loki wasn't really ready to see Thor in a positive light. Not after he had hurt him in such a way. So he let the subject drop.

"I'm sure you want to be left alone now?" Steve asked, completely ready to leave Loki alone for the night. He'd fed him, diapered him, and prodded him with Thor talk probably way more than the god would have liked.

But Loki doesn't want him to leave just yet. "No..." Loki says, "Could I possibly... Could I have another bottle?". He feels comfortable with Steve. He doesn't feel like he's being tricked. He just wants the comfort to last a bit longer. Because in a strange way he's been gentler with the god more so than anyone has before. He listened, he told him the truth. He insisted on changing Loki's diaper, sure, but wasn't it all beneficial to Loki? It was absurd. Feeling this way about another person.

"Of course," Steve said with a smile. It was nice to see the god open up, even if it was just a little.

...

Steve made his way back to the kitchen with the used bottle in his hand. It was getting late but Thor was still up, moping around with kitchen. He perked up when Steve entered.

"How is he?" he asked, suddenly looking more alert.

"He's fine Thor," Steve answered in a calm tone, "He just needs some time... You really hurt him".

Thor nods at this. "I just want him to heal, I want him to know he can trust us. I should have made prior arrangements with Stark... I should have seen this coming".

"You can't take all the responsibility. You just expected better from your friends. This isn't all your fault" Steve replied.

"Thank you Rogers. And thank you for caring for my brother, and providing him with solace" Thor said.

"Of course Thor, anytime" Steve replied. He proceeded to clean out Loki's bottle.

"Are you bringing him a bottle?" Thor asked.

"Yeah,"

"May I ready it for him?" he asked.

"Of course," Steve replied, and stepped back.

Thor prepared the bottle carefully, checking the temperature a few times as if it was about to be given to a new born baby. When he was content with it he handed it to Steve. "Please don't tell him I made it, it'd probably only serve to further upset him".

Steve nodded, and headed back to Loki's room.

...

He returned to the sight of Loki sleeping on the bed. Curled up on the edge of it where Steve left him.

Steve was about to step out of the room and allow him to rest when Loki stirred, looking a little surprised at himself that he'd fallen asleep.

"Ahh, I was just.. I'm a little tired I guess" Loki said, looking up at Steve.

"It's okay" Steve said with a smile. He sat down on the bed next to Loki, and Loki crawled into his lap. It was a lot less awkward this time, he was easily able to find a comfortable position resting in Steve's arms. Steve cradled him and fed him the bottle. He looked so peaceful as he swallowed down the milk. It felt more like he was feeding a new born child than a imprisoned god, aside from the size difference.

Loki's eyelids kept shutting without his notice as he slowly drank the bottle. Each time he drifted a little farther into sleep before waking again. He wondered if maybe Steve would let him fall asleep in his arms. The bottle was almost finished, but maybe if he just closed his eyes, and continued to allow Steve to support him in his arms he could get away with it. If he just shifted his head a little, to rest against Steve's chest. He might be allowed to stay like that.

He finished the bottle, and Steve gently pulled it away from his lips. With his eyes closed Loki rolled slightly over, resting his head on Steve's chest and curling his body into Steve's. Steve supported him still, but Loki could feel him moving. He lifted him slightly away from his body, in a motion Loki suspected was to put him into the bed.

Loki let out a small annoyed moan, and lightly grasped onto Steve's shirt. Which seemed to work, he felt himself being repositioned slightly as Steve made himself more comfortable. Loki smiled, his grasp loosened.

He concentrated on the feel of Steve's arms around him and the smell of his shirt as he drifted off to sleep on his chest.

Maybe as long as he was to be treated like a child, it wouldn't be so bad acting like one, now and then.
