Better Than You (Loki x Reader)

Go Outside Already

       "Odin continues to bring me new friends, how thoughtful," Loki raised his eyebrow in sarcasm while looking onto the new prisoners walking in. "The books I sent, do they not interest you?" Frigga looked at Loki as he slowly turned around. "Is that how I am to while away eternity? Reading?" "I've done everything in my power to make you comfortable, Loki?" "Have you? Does Odin share your concern?" Frigga sighed softly as Loki went on. "Does Thor? It must be so inconvenient, them asking after me day and night." "You know full well that it was your actions that brought you here," Frigga said to him. He scoffed, walking away, "My actions. I was merely giving truth to the lie that I had been fed my entire life. That I was born to be a king." "A king?" Frigga questioned and caught his attention. She explained, "A true king admits his faults. What of the lives you took on Earth?" "A mere handful compared to the number that Odin has taken himself." She did feel annoyed by his words and behavior, but still kept a steady voice. "Your father-" 

      "He's not my father!!" He screamed. She stood her ground looking back at him, "Then am I not your mother?" Both of them could see slight tears welling up in his eyes, but he keep going with only two words said in a softer voice compared to earlier. "...You're not." A sad laugh escaped Frigga's lips, not letting him see a frown on her face. She stepped closer to him, "Always so perceptive about everyone, but yourself." Holding her hands out and Loki waving his hand through them, her illusion started to fade away. "(Y/N) misses you dearly," She said with tears before finally being completely gone. Being alone, he knew that he had said the wrong thing to her.

          Back with (Y/N), after the whole night of learning new tricks and some proper traditions of Greek culture Eris forced her to at least leave the room once while she was awake. They both compromised into her having a walk to clear her head through the town, this way she could go outside and not have to be around many people who knew what she was associated with. After getting herself freshened up, she walked out while having to sneak around guards just in case. The place was really beautiful, and just walking through it calmed her nerves of everything else happening. The people were peaceful, but hardworking while some of the children simply played with others. There wasn't a clear destination for (Y/N), but somehow her body took her to a local garden slightly away from the town's own chaos. With this nature around her, she decided to play with a few illusions she could easily do. Sitting on the ground, she focused and attracted multiple shadows from multiple places to form a small galaxy in the air. Having the planets spin around her and arrange in certain formations, she felt a couple of eyes on her.

       It was a couple of kids, taken aback by the show she was putting on. "This could be fun," She thought to herself. With a few waves of the hand, the galaxy turned into a delicate princess you could see in a picture book. She waved to the children and they all waved back, one grabbing their mother and father to see the magic (Y/N) was doing. It soon turned into some families standing behind her and watching her illusions along with their children, being entertained by (Y/N). She did the story of Cinderella for them, smiling at their reactions of how life like these simple illusions were compared to other made by people they already knew. Every time has to come to an end though, and all the families thanked and complimented her for the show. Now that they were all gone, her mind went back to Loki. She couldn't take it anymore, now was the time to go see Loki.

        We go to Loki, he was simply staring at the ceiling as the guards kept watch of his and other people's cells. Another guard walked into the hallway, "Your duties have been requested elsewhere by the All Father. He needs you all in the sparring area." They all quickly walked out to leave that one guard alone. He shifted his eyes to Loki's cell and walked up to it, seeming to lock eyes, "That was easier then I thought." He stood up and smiled as the guards began to transform. It was (Y/N) in disguise, "Hello again my love." "Hello to you, dove," He walked up to her. Her eyes scanned for a moment, until seeing a way inside, "Stand still." Her body was soon consumed in darkness, only to climb out of Loki's shadow. Once inside, they hugged each other tightly while exchanging quick kisses. "I missed you, Loki," Her voice was muffled as they wouldn't let go of each other. "I missed you too....I've made a mistake, dove," He said. 

      She looked at him to see that his eyes were red. "I have said something that I never meant to...to my mother," He confessed. Letting go of her, he kept pouring his heart out to her, "She is the only other one who doesn't see me as....what I am. I told her she wasn't truly my mother, and the pain in her eyes-" "Loki." They both sat on his bed, her hands on his cheeks to smile. "Frigga loves you so much, and knows of what pain you've been through here. It did hurt her dearly, but she also knows that you don't truly mean that," (Y/N) explained to him. "So, the next time you have with her, you apologize and tell her how you feel. She'll love you no matter what happens." His eyes caught the necklace she wore. Before (Y/N) could say anything else, he kissed her deeply. "Thank you, my dove. You have to leave before you are caught though," He said. She nodded and hugged him one last time before using his shadow to escape.
