It started with occasional glances when passing, which is nothing out of the ordinary. And, of course, the situation only escalated from there. The occasional glances turned into longing longing looks. But looks don't mean anything, right? Anyone that walks past an attractive young adult everyday is going to glance in their direction now and then. Atleast that's what Loki told himself. And for a while that worked.Until he walked into his room to find them changing the sheets.

You can probably guess what happened after that. After the rather awkward introductions, the two quickly became friends and so much more.

Loki was just glad to have a friend that wasn't from his connections with Thor. He didn't have to keep up the ridiculous charade, around people he didn't even like, just to make Thor stop badgering him about having fun. He actually liked them and vise versa. He didn't have to dumb things down because he finally found his intellectual equal, apart from Frigga of course. He could finally be himself.

It came as no suprised when Loki's feelings for them began to blossom into something more. Something that terrified him to his very core but excited him more than anything.

After many months of debating with himself, he finally confessed and, as luck would have it, they felt the same way.

They continued to spend time together just in a more intimate and romantic manner. The only thing Loki hated was that they had to keep their relationship a secret as courting a servant was frowned up and who knows what Odin would do if he ever found out.

A smile appeared on Loki's face as they walked past the doorway but his genuine smile turned to sadness. This was all he could do in the company of others, watch them from afar, as Loki knew the Allfather will disapprove.

"What's the matter, son?" Frigga asked from beside him.

"Nothing." Loki answered with a bittersweet smile.

"It's Y/N, isn't it? I've seen the way you look at them." She said making her son look at her.

"Odin will never allow it. I'll never see them again if he finds out."

"And that's what's going to happen." Odin's voice was heard from behind them. "Loki, you have obligations and responsibilities. You need to prioritise that first."

"I understand." Loki said with a heavy heart.

♤♡◇♧

"You really had no idea he was in there?"

"That's how you respond to that?" Loki asked.

It was late when Loki came to Y/N's sleeping quarters that night. They were lucky that they didn't have to share it with any other workers, that was just a benefit to ranking slightly higher than the other servants. It was good since a conversation like this would not benefit from interruptions.

Loki had stopped his rather frantic pacing across the small room and stood infront of them.

"I didn't know what to say and that was the first thing I thought of." Them replied. "I hate to admit it, but Odin's right."

"What?"

"You're a prince. You have duties and I'm just a distraction. You have more important matters than spending time with me."

"Y/N, you're not-"

"It was only a matter of time, Loki." They interrupted. "He was going to find out eventually, no matter how well we hid it. You can't stop the inevitable."

"No. I'm not going to stop being with you just to make my farther happy." Loki moved so he could sit on the bed beside them and took their hands in his. "I love you, Y/N. You are more important to me than any of that. And Asgard already has a prince."

"Then what are we going to do?"

♤♡◇♧

"Loki, are you sure about this?" Y/N asks, glancing towards the doors of the ball room. "I don't want to make a bad impression."

"My mother already approves of you and Thor will love you. We only need to win over my father. There's no need to worry." He reassuringly squeezes their upper arms and smiles.

"Well, if you're sure, I trust you." They flatten any wrinkles left in their outfit and links their arm with Loki's.

The doors opened and they were immediately greeted with the judgemental eyes of whoever wasn't dancing.They both made their way over to Frigga so Loki could finally introduce Y/N to her.

"Mother, this is Y/N."

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh, the pleasure is all mine, Dear." Frigga smiled.

Meeting Frigga had actually been one of the easiest and most relaxed moments of the entire evening. The fact that Y/N had briefly met the Allmother while cleaning certainly helped. But, of course, meeting Odin had been the most nerve wracking. He's the Allfather. He could have anyone banished at the flick of his wrist.

"This is the one you have been speaking about?" Odin had asked, sizing Y/N up.

"Yes father. This is Y/N and we are courting." Loki says, placing a hand on their shoulders.

"Well, seeing as you have not been distracted from your duties, I will allow this to continue."

♤♡◇♧

"See darling, I told you they would love you." Loki grins.

"Yeah you were right, as always." Y/N says with a playful smile. "I'm glad we dont have to sneak around every where now."

"I am too."
