Spock Loki rarely, if ever, speaks to Spock, though it was through no fault of Jim's old friend. Spock doesn't talk about it, but the initial confusion has long faded to easy acceptance of Loki's hostility. They play chess on occasion, especially the days after Jim is annoyed and frustrated by having to figure out how to split his time between his best friend and his partner and says, in tones of great exasperation "why can't you two just be friends?" It isn't that he actually wants them to be, he doesn't think that'd end well for anyone, but he does sometimes wish he could figure out what the problem is.
Jim thinks he might know why, but Loki locks his thoughts so carefully away, has so many walls that even when they share a mind, share memories, Jim cannot quite confirm his guesses. And he'd never violate Loki's privacy by deliberately attempting to find the answer.
( he guesses it's jealousy, but he isn't sure if that's his ego talking or not. )
Bones As far as Jim knows, the first time Loki met Bones was that time he dragged Jim kicking and screaming into Medical after Loki accidentally dislocated his shoulder while they were sparring. He remembers how pale Loki was as he watched Bones set his shoulder with a sickening crack. As per his usual, Bones gave him a verbal dressing down while dealing with the injury, and Loki's eyebrow climbed until he looked quite funny indeed.
Though how much of that is the morphine talking, Jim's still not sure.
When they left that day, Loki had an amused smirk quirking his lips. Ever since then, Loki would always deposit Jim at Bones's feet whenever Jim gets injured beyond Loki's rudimentary first-aid abilities.
Getting scolded by one of them was so much easier than being double-teamed by both. Christ.
( he learned one afternoon he spent lazing around with Bones that they actually first met when a fight with Thor left Loki with three fractured ribs and Thor with a hole in his gut the exact width of one of the dining hall knives. jim doesn't quite know what to do with that information. )
Uhura She's easily the one of his friends Loki likes the most and the one that likes him the least. Uhura's one of the very rare other people besides Loki that can regularly give Jim a serious fight on the mats, and Jim can see the respect Loki has for her. Unlike the cold way Loki tends to ignore Spock, he treats Uhura rather like the way he treats everyone else--with an apathetic indifference. He doesn't go out of his way to avoid her, but he rarely speaks more than five words a day to her, often in the range of "pass the salt" during mealtimes or "excuse me" as he walks by.
From what he hears Uhura says, she prefers it that way. She's friends with Sif, after all.
( once, early on, jim sees a memory of loki as a child; sees him cut off Sif's long hair, sees the blame laid on him and the guilt he never admitted to feeling. )
