You’re a Father

You: *sitting on the bed looking worried*

Loki, walking up to you: Darling, is everything alright?

You, breathing out and faking a smile: Y-yeah, everything is fine

Loki: Well it sure doesn’t seem that way, *sitting down* is there anything you want to talk about?

You:N-no

Loki: I know you’ve been sick lately, but it’s time we should take you to the doctor. You’ve been throwing up every morning for a few days now.

You: I-it’s fine Loki. It’s probably just the stomach flu.

Loki, kissing you on the forehead: If you insist, my love. Just tell me if you need anything. I’m always here for you.

Loki: *starts to leave the room*

You: *bursts into tears*

Loki, immediately turning around: What’s wrong???

You, through tears:I-I

Loki: You can tell me, darling. It’s okay.

You: I’m pregnant.

Loki: *frozen in his tracks staring wide-eyed*

Loki: *starts staring at the ground*

You: I took a test a few days ago and it was positive. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before, I was just so worried that you would-

Loki, running up to you and sweeping you off the ground: I’M GOING TO BE A FATHER!!!!

Loki, looking at you and kissing you on the cheek: And you’re going to be a mother! TO MY CHILD!

You, stuttering: Y-you’re not mad?

Loki: MAD?! IM OVERJOYED! Ever since we got married this was one of the only things I’ve wanted.

Loki: I know we’ve both been too busy to talk about it but… WE ARE HAVING A CHILD!!!!

Thor, out of nowhere: I’M GOING TO BE AN UNCLE!

Loki, placing your down and turning to Thor: What in Valha- WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!

Thor, running up to you both: That doesn’t matter! *smiling widely* IM GOING TO BE AN UNCLE TO YOUR CHILD!

You:*giggling*

Thor, ecstatically: Ever since you were dating, all Loki would talk about was his future with you and having children!

Thor, squealing and hugging you both tight: And now it’s finally happening!!!!

You,turning to Loki: Is this true?

Loki, blushing and gazing into your eyes: Every word,my love.

Thor, hastily running out of the room: I must go tell the others!

Loki: Thor wai-

Thor: *already left the room*

You: Oh well, there he goes

Loki, turning and hugging you while resting his head on top of yours: You my dear, will be an amazing mother.

You, hugging him back: And our daughter will have the best father.

Loki, looking at you:Daughter?

You, looking into his eyes and nodding:Mhmm

Loki, smiling: We’re having a beautiful baby girl!

Loki, cupping your face: She’ll be just as beautiful and wonderful as her mother.

You, giggling: And maybe just as mischievous as her father.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After crying for a few minutes, y/n opened the door in front of her. To her surprise, Thor was standing behind it. She had assumed that he was listening to what her and Loki had been talking about

Thor: So there is a ring…

You: Thor, it’s not what it looks like

Thor,paranoid: Then what is it suppose to look like y/n?!

You:Thor-

Thor: My brother is IN LOVE with you. And you’re seeing another man? Making him think that he had a chance?

You:Thor-

Thor: He told you everything. At some point, could you not have slipped it in that you were with someone else?

You,screaming: THOR LET ME SPEAK

Thor, upset: *sighs* fine, you better have a good explanation for all the mess you made.

Y/n then explained everything and Thor listened to every word she said.

Thor:But-

You: Yeah, I know

Thor: Y/n that’s wrong

You, storming around the room: Don’t you think I know that! And I was really hoping he wouldn’t have showed up to Tony’s wedding too.

Thor: You have a lot of sorting out to do. All because of how you feel just turned everything into one spiralling mess.

Thor: Don’t you mean “we’ll fix it?”

You:Huh?

Thor: I want to help, y/n. I care for you and I want to see Loki happy again.

You, smiling: thank you Thor.

Thor: But you need to give Loki some time, because he will be bitter about this for a while. And it won’t get much better if he knows that you’ve been hiding this from him.

You: It’s so difficult, because I need to talk to y/d too

Thor: That’s why I’m here to help! You and Loki will be on good terms in no time

Y/n smiled at Thor and then the began to slowly construct their plan.

Pairing:Loki x Female Reader

Word Count:538

Warnings:None. Just pure fluff.

Summary:Reader comes home from vacation and Loki finds out her weakness and uses it against her

Requested by:Anon

A/N: I’m so sorry this took so long! I’ve been so busy but I really hope you enjoy this :)))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/n just came back after a long vacation and it has been a while since she had seen Loki. He had been counting down the days until he got to see her again ever since she left for her trip. The day finally came and Loki was more than overjoyed to see her. He was waiting in her living room as she unlocked the door to her apartment. The clinking of the keys opened a door to a smiling Loki with a hand full of roses. He couldn’t contain his excitement and as soon as he saw her he dropped the flowers and ran right up to her. “Y/n! It’s been to long!” Loki said running up to her while picking her up off the ground into a warm embrace. Y/n giggled and hugged him back “I know Loki, I know. I missed you so much.” “I missed you more, darling,” said Loki while placing her on the ground. Y/n spotted the roses that had fallen on the ground and chuckled. “Are those for me?” Loki slightly blushed. “O-oh yeah, I just got so excited and-.” Y/n cut Loki off and pulled him into a kiss. Loki smiled through it and ran his hand through her hair. Then after he ran it down her sides and she let out a small giggle but Loki thought he was hearing things and decided to ignore it. He continued brushing his hands up her side and she giggled again. Loki then pulled away and gave y/n an odd look. “What’s so funny?” he questioned. “N-nothing,” she replied. “Then why are you laughing?”. “I was not.” “But everytime I brushed my hand on your side you would lau-” Loki then paused mid sentence and look at y/n up and down with a mischievous look. “W-why are you looking at me like that?” she said shakily. “You’re…. TICKLISH AREN’T YOU?” Loki said smiling slyly. “Don’t be stupid, Loki. You have no proo-.” Loki then cut off y/n by picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder while walking over to the couch. He then placed her down. “Loki,what are you-.” Loki then started tickling y/n and she was squirming uncontrollably but she would not give it. “HAHAHAHAH LOKI!” she said while laughing. “Give in, y/n. It only gets worse from here,” said Loki why tickling her. “N-no hAHAH,” she said while laughing. “Alright,” he said “Suit yourself.” He then made a clone of himself and the clone started tickling y/n. “LOKI AHAHAHAHA,” she said laughing even harder. “Just surrender and I’ll stop,” he said mischievously. “Or whaHAHAHAHAHA,” she said. Loki then rolled his eyes and made five more clones and they all started tickling her. Y/n was laughing so hard she fell off the bed. “FINE FINE YOU WIN,” she said slumping on the ground. Loki then made the clones and disappear and picked y/n off the floor and kissed her on the floor. She made a playful angry face at him. “You still love me though right?” he said sweetly. “You’re lucky that you’re cute, Odinson,” said y/n playful long shoving him.

Happy Mother’s Day

Here’s my contribution for the LOKI tag. I am completely obsessed with the show, and I loved Frigga and Loki’s relationship. You always knew that to her Loki was 1000% her son. She adored him, I hope we get to see more about their relationship later in the show.

Tom has mentioned during the ACE comic con panel that he has known about the scene for two years.

This was what Thanos said in this test footage: “I got the information that I need, and now I have to break your neck. It’s just the way it is.”

For reference, here’s some stuff from the Avengers: Infinity War director’s audio commentary during the opening scene:

McFeely: We’re starting the script in December, say January of 2016. There’s no Ragnarok script. They’re in in various stages of development, and so the first scene of this movie changed a bunch. And until we figured out that they were gonna end on a trip off of a destroyed Asgard, we didn’t know where Thanos would find Loki.

Markus: We did know we wanted Thanos to come to Loki. And we would find him in any… We have drafts of him in any number of places.

McFeely: It establishes a vengeance story for Thor by taking out his brother and arguably, his best friend.

Joe Russo: Part of what we wanted to do out of the gate was to unsettle you as you’re watching the film. You’re sitting in the theatre thinking, “Most characters in the Marvel Universe have been safe for a decade.” And we wanted to knock you off-kilterandmake theaudience understand that the stakes were going to be significant and the cost was going to be very high in the movie.

Markus: And in that regard, this scene does away with a lot of things from the ongoing MCU. That was… The first MacGuffin from the first Captain America movie just got crushed and stuck into a glove.

Anthony: Bye bye, Tesseract.

Markus: And shortly, the villain from the first Avengers movie…

McFeely: Right. Arguably the best villain in the MCU…

Markus: …will achieve a similar end.

Anthony: Aside from establishing… introducing Thanos as our lead and POV in the movie, this scene also heavily kicks off Thor’s arc in the film.

Anthony: The one thing that’s wonderful, one thing we all really responded to about Thor is where he’s left at the end of Ragnarok with the destruction of Asgard… And there’s something fascinating about exporing these people as you strip away who they are and their built-out identities, and find out what’s left. I think we’re going through a very similar process with Thor in this film, especially with this scene, we’re sort of completing the experience that Ragnarok brought to Thor in the sense that we’re taking away the rest of everything away from him.

McFeely: And remember, he (Thanos) had a relationship with Loki even if it was off-screen where he entrusted him with a duty in Avengers 1 and Loki failed, so...

Joe: He’s making him pay.

McFeely: Yeah. Thanos has a long memory.

Anthony: Yep. Fair enough.

Part of an interview with the IW screenwriters:

Stephen McFeely: Hemsworth came to set, and went, “You guys really need to understand that we are doing something different with Ragnarok.” And we knew they were changing it some, but it was so early in the process, so we flew [Ragnarok screenwriter] Eric Pearson and [director] Taika Waititi in and we had long conversations with them. There are at least a couple of jokes in there Taika himself said in passing that we thought were gold. They showed us a few scenes, so we knew that Thor was being re-toned. And we needed to embrace that.

Christopher Markus: But it was also the realization that even in the “funny” one [Ragnarok], his father and his sister die, and that he’s almost becoming comically unlucky at this point, and to follow that to its natural conclusions.

So in summary, Loki’s death scene was decided since two years ago and he mainly died for the following purposes:

1. Set the tone for the movie by showing Thanos’ cruelty
2. For shock value
3. Give place to the new “best” MCU villain Thanos
4. Fuel Thor’s motivation for revenge, to further Thor’s storyline and character development from where he left off in Ragnarok 

Evidently,none of the above reasons has anything to do with Loki’s arc and character development.

In terms of narrative, it was mentioned in the IW commentary that here Thanos was actually punishing Loki for failing to fulfill his duty in the first Avengers film, but IMO that’s just a load of crap. Thanos was already going to leave the ship; it was Loki who suddenly popped up with his butter knife. Also, what Loki was promised in Avengers was this: “You will long for something as sweet as pain.”

But how could death be worse than pain for Loki, when he had already let himself die twice before? (Just in case anyone wishes to protest that he faked his own death in Ragnarok, please read thisfirst)

In TDW he even said this: “If I am for the axe, then for mercy’s sake, just swing it.”

Loki isn’t afraid and does not cower in the face of death, unlike what had been portrayed of his character in Ragnarok, which was just OOC af. Though I’m glad they rectified this part of his character in IW, the way he died was just too needlessly brutal and meaningless, and also stupid. If the writers truly meant for Thanos to punish Loki in the worst possible way like what was foreshadowed in A1, to be honest it would make more sense to kill Thor instead (just saying). But as it is, the directors and writers were just making excuses and don’t actually care.

I assert that this is a direct result of Thor: Ragnarok. Those who don’t follow the Ragnarokdiscussions may think this is ridiculous, but really, it’s not. This was what I wrote on 20 Apr, before IW was released:

“…when you consider the fact that Thanos arrived right after he said that, and just minutes after he had told Loki ‘Maybe you’re not so bad after all’. It only proved Thor*’s opinion about Loki right–because of course Thor* can never be wrong–that Loki was just never-ending trouble. 

And what I’m worried about is that this will be taken into Infinity War and Loki will be made the scapegoat again.I don’t want Thor* to blame him again and make him feel like the only way he’ll be worthy of his brother’s love and forgiveness is to sacrifice himself to make up for his mistake of taking the Tesseract.”

I couldn’t believe this ended up being exactly what happened in IW, and I hated it so much. While the rest of the audience was laughing, my blood ran cold the moment Thor told Loki “you really are the worst brother”.

By now I think we can all agree that what Loki said—“I hereby pledge to you my undying fidelity”—was meant for Thor. If anyone’s not convinced, here:

‘Undying Fidelity’ was the title of the soundtrack that was playing from the instant Loki started saying ‘I, Loki, Prince of Asgard…’ to the moment Thor collapsed over his body.

Loki was crying when he said that. Assuming those were Loki’s tears (in character), then it was almost as if Loki had been prepared to die, as though his futile attempt at killing Thanos was deliberate. Why?!?!?! Just because Thor changed his mind about saying “maybe you’re not so bad after all” and told him he was the “worst brother”, so he wanted to prove his fidelity using his life??? It was foolish and OOC, is what I think. 

But then again, if we consider his character and their relationship in Ragnarok,it might not be that out of character after all… As a case in point, I’ve seen someone say this: 

If Loki couldn’t even trick Thor in Ragnarok, what makes you think he can outsmart Thanos?

InRagnarok, his character was twisted and reduced to comic relief, his sacrifice and redemption in TDW was made to seem like a sham and a joke. A previously complex, multifaceted character was simplified into a misbehaving and terrible brother who would betray his only remaining family for the sake of money(?!). When the God of Mischief was asked whether he had a better idea than “get help”, he answered “no” as though it was supposed to be obvious. The graceful, regal, composed and witty prince of Asgard was played for a fool throughout most of the film. His brother criticized him in a way that made it sound like he had always been incorrigible, even though that’s definitely not true if you watched the previous films. Only when he compromised and became “good” on Thor*’s terms after listening to Thor*’s bullshit of a speech was he deemed redeemable.

In short, Ragnarok “put him in his place”, downplayed his powers, stripped him of his purpose, wits, importance and independence as a character, never gave him the equality and respect he wanted. 

The IW writers said this:

“…the first scene of this movie changed a bunch. And until we figured out that they were gonna end on a trip off of a destroyed Asgard, we didn’t know where Thanos would find Loki.”

“We did know we wanted Thanos to come to Loki. And we would find him in any… We have drafts of him in any number of places.”

But with how Ragnarokended up, it became entirely too convenient. It made him too easy to kill off—they could simply make him sacrifice himself for his brother again, since his sacrifice in TDW was retconned into a faked death anyway. 

There wasn’t a need to think of an intricate plot for a character who no longer seemed important—they only needed to put the final nail in the coffin. Since it would serve all their purposes anyway, why not?

Thor: Killed people of Jotunheim because he was called a “princess” and nearly led Asgard into war because of his immaturity, arrogance and hotheadedness

Odin: Punished him by banishing to Midgard to learn his lesson and become better; he can come back to become king of Asgard once he proves himself worthy

Loki: Killed people of Earth because he had turned mad and villainous after returning alive from an abyss that he fell into and was presumed dead, where he likely experienced unimaginable horrors that broke him and possibly had his mind manipulated by Thanos (A little background: He had let himself fall into the void out of despair, as Odin had denied him approval even after he tried so desperately to prove himself a worthy son. This was shortly after he had been hurt and devastated over learning that his whole life had been a lie, that he was actually adopted and was in fact the abanboned son of Asgard’s enemy, one of those horrible monsters that he had heard so much about in bedtime stories and Thor had been so excited about slaying since they were children. He only ever sought to be Thor’s equal–for years he was made to feel inferior, to feel like he was living in the shade of Thor’s greatness, because of Odin’s blatant favouritism towards Thor and also as a result of growing up in a society with a culture that honoured warriors and scorned magic users like him–but then he just found out that from the onset he was never meant to be Thor’s equal in the way he believed he had the right to be.)

Odin: Told him his birth right was to die as a child, punished him by condemning him to life imprisonment and would have sentenced him to death if not for Frigga

Odin in Thor: Ragnarok :

“I love you, my sons”

No offense but I wanted Sigyn to make her MCU debut like. So badly. And you know how I wanted her to be? Highkey dumbass with golden retriever energy.

LIKE-

Can you imagine. If she showed up during Ragnarok? While Thor and Hulk fought? She’s the last contender. She sees Loki and is just

Excitedly waving. “ HI!”

Loki, two second away from a mental breakdown:

does anyone know how to work the q&a thing i’m so lost

Oneshot #55 - part 3 (and last part) to White Horse

Tags:  @peachybaes,@wolfish-trickster , @writinguntilmyheartgivesout  and @nms224​ (thank you guys for the support on White horse, and on Good 4 U, you have no idea how ecstatic they made me, my heart was very happy, I appreciate you, and all my other readers and I hope you enjoy the finale to this little series )

A/N: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I never thought I’d actually finish this part because I kept alternating between what I wanted to do with it but I am so happy with how it did turn out!! Honestly you don’t have to read the other parts to understand this one but I would recommend it. Anywayyyy, ENJOY!!!!!

You take a deep breath as you collect your thoughts, walking carefully through the doors to enter the golden Asgardian palace for the first time in forever.

Your eyes flit over to a flash of green and gold and you panic, turning the other way to run from that which you feared seeing again so much.

You hadn’t been home in ages, too taken with the cultures and ways of mortals on earth to want to come back. The only reason you’d returned was because your mother had begged for your presence at the annual royal celebration that had become tradition for you to attend. Other than that, you were completely uninterested in being back in this realm.

“As I live and breath… hello to you fair y/n.” The familiar teasing voice says calmly from the distance. You freeze in place, cursing him and his buttery smooth voice in your head as you turn, your grimace quickly replaced with a smile.

“Your highness.” You greet quietly, wanting nothing more than to leave this awkward interaction.

“I believe we’ve known each other long enough that you may call me my name y/n.” He challenges, his smile turning to the mischievous smirk.

“Of course… Loki.” You murmur through gritted teeth. He nods in approval tauntingly.

“We’ve missed you around here. Lady Sif and I have had to find different ways to entertain each other.” He says, his grin staying in place as your demeanor shifts a bit out of place.

If I wanted to know

Who you were hanging with

While I was gone, I would’ve asked you

“Of course. I’m sure you found your ways though. You always have.” You reply steadily, turning to step around him to find your way to your family. “If you’ll excuse me.” You mutter on your way around him.

You wait, expecting him to step in your way and block your path but to your surprise, the gesture doesn’t come.

“We will be seeing each other.” Loki hums from behind you. With that, a feeling of surprise longing and unease settles in your stomach as you make your way away from him.

——————————————————————

“My darling y/n, you look lovely.” Your mother cries as you watch yourself in the golden framed mirror.

She’s not wrong, you know it. You do in fact look amazing, shimmering in a dark y/f/c ensemble fit for royalty, decked out in an array of gold and silver detailing.

But the reflection in the mirror was almost unrecognizable. You know this was how you’d dressed and looked before you left, but this style, this lavish look was like it belonged to another person. You felt like you couldn’t possibly be the one looking back at you in the reflection.

“Thanks mom.” You murmur appreciatively, ignoring the pit of doubt in your throat.

Your mother leaves, hurrying off to ready herself for the festivities but you crash down onto your bed, staring up at the decorative ceiling. Not every household had paintings over their heads, but you were one of the luckier ones, with flowers and a meadow painted above where you slept, keeping you grounded and relaxed in your worst moments.

“You know my love, those flowers are just like you. Wild, beautiful and full of life.” You hear his voice in the back of your mind but not in the invasive way it normally was. No, this voice was sweet as honey, one from a distant memory. A smile came to your lips uncontrollably as you remembered the moments he’d traced symbols over your bare arms with his chilling fingers, wrapped up in the soft sheets together, having sent shivers up your spine every time.

If you were being honest with yourself, you’d longed for that familiar chill when he’d spoken with you in the halls.

It’s the kind of cold

Fogs up windshield glass

But I felt it when I passed you

“Come on y/n, we can’t be late.” Your mother calls and you quickly run down to her, wanting to escape your thoughts more than anything.

You fix your hair as you come to a slow down the end of the hall, quietly following the rest of your family towards the city square.

The Center of Asgard is buzzing with activity, kids running around the town square. You laughed a little as a little girl ran around your legs but a moment later a little boy chasing her catches you off guard. You move to jump out of the way but the heel of your shoe gets caught on a woman’s dress and you trip towards the ground.

A second later you’re gazing into the cloudy eyes of the crowned prince, his arms holding you upright easily.

“Are you alright?” He asks, a look of genuine concern on his face. Your y/e/c widen as you stare up at him, your mouth slightly ajar in shock.

“I-I’m fine thanks.” You mutter, pulling yourself out of your trance. He pulls you up with him as he stands straight, sticking his hands in his pockets awkwardly.

“Seeing as you are in fact fine, would you do me the honour of accompanying me in a dance?” He asks, a flicker of hope in his eye.

There’s an ache in you

Put there by the ache in me

“Sure.” You say after a hesitant pause as you brush nonexistent dust off your clothes.

A tentative smile plays on his lips as he pulls you into his arms for a dance, leading the way to the makeshift floor, the motion like a second nature to him.

“Even after all this time you still know how to dance so well.” You tease with a smile. He chuckles, the sound filling your ears happily.

Asgard may have been where you’d grown up but it felt like you’d outgrown it. Everything about Loki though, somehow, you could never be done with him. Not without lying to yourself anyway.

“So, you and lady Sif hm?” You ask with a smirk as he laughs a little harder.

“Goodness no. If she knew I had told you such lies she would have my head on a platter.” He admits, making you giggle yourself.

“Glad to hear.” You hum as he dips you towards the floor, meeting your eyes. You both stare for a moment, reminiscing.

But if it’s all the same to you

It’s the same to me

“It has been rather dull with you gone you know.” Loki teases, pulling you to your feet and twirling you around effortlessly.

“I always have been the life of the party.” You joke with a wide grin as he pulls you back into him.

“Or all others just simply cannot compare to you.” He shrugs with a knowing smirk as you try to hide your blush.

You spend the night twirling away in his arms, watching the festivities take place around you and slowly remembering why you hadn’t left Asgard sooner. The beauty of the kingdom at night, the lights like fine glitter against the gold of the palace nearby almost too much to bear.

Loki watches in amusement as you take everything in once again, smiling at the small sparkle in your eyes.

“You always had a way of making it seem as though you were only just seeing the city for the first time, no matter how many years you have spent here.” He notes, his lips pursed in concentration.

“Well to be fair, it’s like I’m seeing it through new eyes today.” You say with a grin.

You try to ignore the obvious frown on his face, not wanting to further ruin the mood.

“I see you have been enjoying your time on Midgard then.” He says, an undertone of bitterness evident in his voice.

You sigh, crossing your arms at the topic.

“Yes Loki, I’m enjoying my time doing what I wanted to do, now if you’ll excuse me.” You mumble, walking quickly away from him, narrowly missing his arm reaching out for you.

You head back inside while he stands there, letting out a groan of frustration at his own stupidity.

He gives up on his own common sense and chases you, grabbing your hand gently. “I am sorry. I should not… I do not know why I brought that up. I allowed my own pride to get ahead of me.” He admits, frowning at you apologetically. “Would you please forgive a dear old idiot prince?” He teases and you snicker, a smile cracking through your angry state.

So we could call it even

You could call me babe for the weekend

“I don’t know Loki, you really acted like a dick.” You sigh honestly, laughing again when he looks at you quizzically. “a jerk, an ass, a true idiot.” You elaborate, giggling. He nods, finally grasping your meaning.

“I know. I really did. But I have seen how you feel without me there. I just…. I am not ready to let go of you yet my love.” He murmurs softly, taking your hand in his carefully as though it might break. A familiar shiver runs up your hand and down your spine, the tingle of it sending a nostalgic twang to your heart.

“Please Loki don’t call me that. I can’t… It’s too much.” You plead quietly, your voice barely a whisper as the words escape your lips. He nods in silent understanding.

You stand in quiet peace, you not pulling your hand away from his own and tentatively leaning against the railing, leaving your hand with his for the comfort.

“Did you know that it’s actually a holiday on Midgard right now too? Well, not really a holiday but it’s what they also call the ‘Holiday season’. It’s beautiful there right now too, all decked out in lights and colours and sweets and different ornaments they hang from their trees. They have a lot of different holidays celebrated by all different people, that’s what the midgardians call themselves, and it’s really strange but at the same time it’s almost magical.” You explain, wanting to share your experiences with him to try and show him why you felt interest about Midgard.

“And which is your favourite?” He asks quietly, nuzzling up to you as he used to, wanting to hear your voice regardless of the fact that it was about the place he now so loathed.

“Well I like them all. And they have this stuff falling from the sky called snow, it’s like a white powder. Kids play in it and you have to shovel it in the morning to get to work, that I had to learn the harder way.” You ramble, laughing at the memory of your first snowfall not long ago. “It’s so different from Asgard, they’re so much less formal there. It’s really strange, talking in shortened terms, different technologies. It’s really fascinating Loki.” You finish and his faint smile is much bigger than it was, the sound of you happy and passionate about something making him overjoyed despite his resting bitterness.

“Is it as magical as this?” He asks, holding out his palm and creating a burst of mini fireworks in his hand.

“Loki I don’t mean literally magical. I mean more figuratively speaking. It’s their most romantic time of the year, that’s why they feel it’s magical.” You explain briefly, smiling with a blush at the sparks of colour in his hand. You go to push down his hand and as your body moves ever so slightly, you’re facing each other, truly eye to eye for the very first time in so long, the literal and figurative sparks flying around you.

Tis the damn season, write this down

I’m staying at my parents’ house

Loki takes careful action, reaching up and brushing his thumb over your bottom lip slowly, teasingly. He cups your face there, the thrill of feeling your skin on his skin sending a small rush of adrenaline through his cold veins as he pulls you in. You don’t protest, letting him lure you back as you’d once so feared but in the moment, couldn’t one bit imagine why.

He waits a moment for the protest that doesn’t come before leaning in and brushing his lips on yours, first gently but rushing into needy rather quickly. He kisses you passionately, his tongue soon slipping in your mouth when you grant it entry and pulling you along with him, hidden around the corner of the balcony safely while the two of you ‘properly’ re-greet each other.

“Stop… stop.” He says breathlessly, planting needy kisses along your face to cool down, only making you feel more wound up in the process.

“I must confess something before we continue.” He says, still in his daze of the moment. You nod, not sure what you can say, all thoughts sucked from your mind the moment your lips met.

“I told your mother to ask you to come back for the celebration. I chose the outfit you are wearing right now and by the norns, I am glad I did because you are truly a vision but the point is, I deceived you to get you back here.” He says, the words flooding out of his mouth.

You let out a small snort, falling into a small fit of laughter. He looks completely bewildered, shocked by your reaction.

“Loki, you’re the god of mischief. I have loved you for far too long not to know this. Did you really think I wasn’t going to be the least bit suspicious when my mother asked, no, BEGGED me to come home for this day and made such a big deal out of it when she’s never really cared for it before?” You giggle as you go through your explanation.

“I knew this was your doing almost as soon as I received the invite. I was only slightly suspicious at first but then my mother visited me and begged me to come and I knew right away you had something to do with it.” You laugh and you get really confused as you see him grinning like a mad man. “what?”

“You said you love me.” He says, beaming with excitement. You blush scarlet in realization.

“I- no- that was not what I meant to say!” You stammer.

“Oh but it is what you said, I caught it. You still love me darling.” He smirks in a cocky manner and you sigh, not wanting to argue with him in such a nice moment.

“Yes alright… yes I love you. I have always and probably always will Loki.” You admit with a grin not nearly matching his own.

And the road not taken looks real good now

And it always leads to you in my hometown

“I love you too. Always have always will.” He promises, pressing another kiss on your forehead.

“I’ve missed you so much Loki. I tried to meet other people but… I really don’t know how to get over all we’ve had, even if I do like being on Midgard. Would you ever consider coming there with me?” You ask quietly, blinking up at him with eyes full of hope.

He stares back at you, taken aback by the question. Never once had he imagined such a question coming from you. Sure, he’d pondered the question himself many times but never from you, he imagined you would wish to lead a separate life from that which you’d shared. 

“My beloved… I am not sure that idea is the best one… those residents of Midgard surely remember my… faults. I am sure that many loath my existence. I could never live there, with you, risking your life and safety to their wrath. I am certain harm would come to one of us and if it were you… I could not forgive myself.” He frowns, holding your face in his hands.

“You’re an infamous trickster, surely you can mask your true identity from them.” You frown, your eyes glazed with unshed tears, your lip starting to wobble, staring down at the city you used to run around with Loki in. The strong memories were intoxicating to you both and you knew that.

I parked my car, right between the Methodist

And the school that used to be ours

“My love please do not cry, I so hate it when you cry. I did not say I would not find a way to make us work. If it is truly what you want, We will find a way. I promise you. I only said that me living on Midgard is not the best plan.” He explains with a promising smile as your hopeful gaze returns.

Where all these hopes were coming from, you honestly didn’t know. You were in a bad place with your feelings for Loki for a long time. There were times you wanted to come back to Asgard to strangle him and others where you wanted to come back to hug him tight and never let go.

You were at peace with your feelings for him prior to the return. But now, you realized feelings so unresolved and so strong weren’t going away so easily. It was so strong you couldn’t in good conscience ignore him or ignore them. They needed to be revived or put to rest, but you were having a harder time than ever deciding which was the answer.

“I hate that you make me feel like this.” You sigh, leaning into him.

He chuckles, pulling you in closer. “I am well aware, and yet I love it just as I love you.” He teases, kissing your forehead gently.

The chill of his fingers soothes you in a way, making you feel more at home than you imagined before your return. It was odd, you had never thought being in his arms again would feel the same. You thought you had matured enough to feel no such feelings if he ever laid a finger on you again but his touch is somehow making you feel like nothing had changed and like the past few years were completely frozen in time.

The holidays linger like bad perfume,

You can run but only so far

“This does not mean I wish to remain in Asgard Loki. I love you more than life itself but I stand by all that I’ve said thus far. I am your equal, not your lesser and you have to treat me like it and let me make my own decisions.” You warn, looking back at him, your posture slightly stronger and the confidence in your voice unwavering.

“I understand my love. And though I do not at all agree with your home of choice, I shall not interfere with your wishes again. I have learned what it is like to live in spite of you and I never wish to live in such a way again. I cannot bear to lose you over my own stupidity again Darling.” Loki vows, squeezing your hands in a sort of promise.

A year ago, you would have never believed the words coming from his mouth. You likely would have ran before he could speak even a sentence of all that he had said at this point. 

But you had definitely grown and you could tell Loki had too. His full blown anger seemed to have dissipated over time and you could hardly judge him if it hadn’t, having had a few meltdowns on the subject yourself over your time apart. 

The anger was no longer fresh, more like a plant, growing and growing until it slowly died and shriveled away.

Of course, you knew that this might be the worst idea either of you had ever had. Of course you knew it was risky and trivial. But you didn’t care as much. The change you saw in Loki now from the Loki you’d seen all that time ago was intense and it was all you’d hoped for.

“You know, you WILL have to come and stay at my place at least sometimes…” You teased, making him let out a dramatic sigh.

“Or you could come here and I could avoid all those Midgardians who absolutely loathe me…” He offers and you shake your head slowly, laughing as he pouts.

“It’s called compromise darling, you have to learn it eventually.” You tell him, sticking your tongue out as he groans even louder. 

The two of you remain giggling on the balcony for a large majority of the festivities, pointing out places on Asgard you hadn’t been in forever. Neither of you were certain of what the future may hold for your relationship and neither of you spoke about it, deciding that the love you shared in that moment was enough to last you a long while. At least for the celebration, you had no worries except each other. 

I escaped it too, remember how you watched me leave

But if it’s ok with you, it’s ok with me…
