Tom Hiddleston one-shots

A royal visit (Loki)

It was a lovely morning. I was taking a shower in my quarters before going off to my best friend Sosha.

We were going to meet Prince Thor Odinson from Asgard. He was coming over for a royal visit to discuss the future of our planets and if we could join The Nine Realms.

I've been crowned to Queen and had to lead this meeting. We were excited to be able to join The Realms and their forces.

I walked over to the throne room of the royal palace where Sosha asked me to wait for her. I wore my white dress as a symbol of hope and did my hair in a semi-bun.

I opened the door and she was talking with some advisors.
"Hi Sosha", I greeted her.
"Your Majesty", she kneeled before me.
"There's no need to do that dear", I comforted her.

I hate it when my best friends and family bow for me.
"Where's your crown? The prince is going to arrive in a couple of minutes."
"My crown? Shit I forgot!"

Sosha and the advisors were shocked because I cursed. It was typical for me. I'm not really into those etiquette rules. I like to do things different.

My style isn't really usual for this planet. The former Queen, my mother, was more traditional. I like to change that.

I ran to my quarters, chose one of my favorite crowns and went back to the throne room.

"Your Majesty, they've arrived", an advisor informed me. I took his arm and went to the landing platform to meet Thor.

Thor and I actually knew each other from when we were children. His parents used to visit us a lot and we Asgard. Of course he came along with them or I with my parents and we used to spend a lot of time together.

When we grew older and the Realms bigger, we lost contact. I haven't seen him in a very long time. I hope he hasn't changed a lot.

There was a ship on the platform and I must say, it looked like a piece of junk. Did he come with that?

The ramp lowered and I saw another man walking outside. Then I saw the bottom of a red cape and another in green with black boots walking down the ramp.

It was Thor and a man with black hair walking next to him. Thor looked very good in his gear and the man next to him wasn't so bad either.

He ran up to me with his arms wide open.
"(Y/n)! How happy I am to see you. Look at you, a real Queen! Who would have thought that?"
"No one I guess", I chuckled.

The man that accompanied him walked up to me. He asked for my hand and gave my ring a little kiss.

"Loki Laufeyson, Your Majesty", he said with a warm and low voice. I felt my heart skip a beat. He was very handsome, his voice sounded like music and he was very charming.

"Loki is my brother, remember", Thor said as he looked over at him.
"Loki! The God of Mischief! It's been so long."
"Indeed Your Majesty", he said polite.

I had met Loki two of three times when we were children, but I totally forgot what he looked like.

"I suggest we go inside to talk a bit further", my advisor suggested. Loki presented me his arm as the governess took Thor under her wing.

Sosha walked right behind us. I lead the group into the throne room where we could hold the meeting. I sat down on the throne and the others in the seats around me.

During the meeting I couldn't keep my eyes of the God. He didn't say much, probably because he didn't want to do anything foolish that he might regret later.

I didn't speak much too, the conversation was mostly held by my advisors, the governess and Thor with his.

After the meeting we all went to our quarters and changed outfits for dinner. Sosha told me that it would be prettier if I wore a black gown for tonight. She believed it would be more suitable.

Sosha was waiting for me in my room to join the diner together. I showed her my look and she almost fainted.
"You look so beautiful", she gasped.
"You too."
"No please (y/n) you're so pretty. Loki won't be able to keep his eyes from you."
"I beg you pardon?"
"Come on, you like him. I saw you staring at him during the meeting."
"You're imagining things."
"Am I?"
"You're disrespecting your Queen", I teased her.

She was right. I couldn't keep my eyes of Loki.

We left my room and went to the terrace for dinner. I decided to have it outside because it was a beautiful evening and the view was magnificent.

I arrived and some advisors came up to me. We chatted a bit while waiting for our guests to arrive. Suddenly I spotted Thor and Loki coming over.

Yet again they both looked stunning. We sat down and started the conversation.

"Your Highness, Thor told me you were best friends?", Loki asked me.
"Please mister Laufeyson call me
(y/n)", I asked him.
"Please (y/n), call me Loki."

I blushed terribly because I felt my cheeks grew more red every minute.

"What Thor told you is correct. We've spend a lot of time together when we were children. Don't you remember?"
"I used to come here often with our parents and then I met (y/n). We got along just fine", Thor finished me.
"Indeed."

Dinner went smooth and we had lots of fun. Loki and I had a lot in common. Sosha was sitting at the end of the table looking at me and Loki having fun. She looked like a proud mother watching over her children.

"Your Majesty, may I ask you something", Loki suddenly said.
"Of course."
"Would you mind to have a walk with me here around the lake. I'd like to see your home."

I looked over to the governess who seemed surprised by the question, but she nodded to the guards in agreement. Thor on the other hand didn't really like Loki's intentions.

He gave him a dirty look, but then he nodded to give him his approval. Loki stood up, walked over to me and lead me to away from the table.

We walked towards the balcony at the water and stood there for a while. Loki let the wind blow through his hair and breathed in the warm and soft breeze. The guards had been following us from a distance, but I still felt uncomfortable. I asked them to leave us alone. They just waited a little further away from us.

"This place is really beautiful", Loki said as he leaned over the stone railing, "Just like its queen."
"Stop, you're making me blush", I joined him.
"Am I? My apologies Your Majesty", he teased.

There was a little silence. You could only hear the music from the dinner and the sound of the soft summer wind. In the distance you could see the sky turning a bright pink and red while the sun set.

"I knew Thor would agree to let us join The Nine Realms", I mumbled.
"Yes I was expecting him to do that. I wouldn't see why he'd say no."
"It's Thor. Sometimes he just does that", I said back. Yet again there fell a silence.

"Look I got to tell you something", Loki said all nervous.
"Tell me."
"I can't, I don't know how I-", he panicked and moved with his hands to express his feelings.
"Tell me what's troubling you?"
"No, no, no", he shook his head leaning over the railing, "I can't."

"Alright. Loki Laufeyson I command you to tell me what's going on", I joked.
"It's never going to happen", he turned to me and moved a little closer our chests almost touching.

"What's never going to happen?"
"A puny god like me, with a queen like you", he breathed as he held me by the back of my head.
"Says who", I whispered before crashing my lips on his.

He didn't pull back or protest. Instead he stroked his tongue against my lower lip, begging to deepen our kiss. I leaned back towards the railing and clammed myself between Loki and the stones. I pulled back and smiled brightly.

"Do you do that with all the royals you visit?", I chuckled.
"Only the ones I care for, Your Majesty."
I wanted to kiss him, but I realised something: "Thor!"
"What about him?"
"Isn't he going to dissaprove this?"
"He will, but hey. I am the God of Mischief. It's what I do."
"And now you are with a queen."
"The most beautiful queen."

"Puny god." I moved closer.
"Your Highness." He stroked my cheek.
