The Ice Began To Melt | Loki x Reader

Seventeen | Asgard

"Brother, it is time," Thor said.

I looked up from my book. Loki and I were sitting together on the couch, reading. Well, I was reading, and Loki cuddling me. I was sat in his lap with my back pressed against his chest. One of his arms was around my waist and the other was running through my hair.

"Time for what?" I asked.

Loki sighed and wrapped his other arm around me, pulling me closer.

"Father ordered that I was to return to Asgard six months after staying on Midgard," Loki told me. "He wants me to go back to see if I have... behaved myself, I suppose."

I huffed and snuggled in closer to Loki.

"Well, he can wait a few more days," I said grumpily. "I'm spending the weekend with Loki, and no one can stop me."

Thor barked a laugh while Loki chuckled.

"You would really defy the Allfather?" Loki asked me.

"Yes," I deadpanned.

I already didn't like him. After Loki had found out that I was Tony's daughter, we'd started telling each other a lot more. I'd told him about my time at Hydra, and he'd told me about Odin, and what he'd done. I wanted to shove my foot so far up Odin's ass that he'd be tasting my shoe for weeks.

Loki chuckled again and pulled me closer, burying his face in my neck.

"And if the Queen of Asgard decreed it?" Thor asked.

I huffed.

"Well, maybe I'd let Loki go to see her," I mumbled.

I really did like Frigga. She had always treated Loki like a son, and she loved him unconditionally. She was the reason that Loki was allowed to have another chance on Earth.

"I have an idea!" Thor exclaimed.

"Oh dear," Loki murmured, making me chuckle.

"What if you came with us, Y/n?" Thor asked.

I sat up and Loki looked to Thor in shock.

"Really?" I asked. "I'd get to go to Asgard?"

Thor shrugged.

"Jane has been to Asgard," Thor said. "And you... I have a feeling that Mother would like you."

I grinned and turned to Loki.

"How about it, huh?" I said. "You've met my dad. Time I met your parents?"

Loki shook his head at me playfully.

"Whatever you wish, my love," Loki said.

I smiled at him.

"When do we go?" I asked Thor.

"Right now," he said.

"Woah, what?" I asked, standing up. "I need to pack first-"

"No need for that," Loki said, standing up as well. "On Asgard, you will wear gowns, or armour, like Lady Sif."

"Excuse you, but I am not leaving without my phone. I intend to take photos and rub it in everyone's faces," I said. "I'll be right back."

I ran to the elevator, and I went up to my floor. I went into my room and grabbed my phone as well as a cable and a battery pack. I assumed that we would only be going for a few days at most, and I could conserve my phone battery. Especially since I'd invented the battery pack myself, and it could fully charge my phone four times without needing to be charged itself.

I walked back to the lounge room where the two gods were waiting for me.

"I need to say goodbye to everyone as well," I said. "Especially my dad."

"We were going to say goodbye as well," Thor said. "We would not leave without any explanation."

The three of us made our way through the tower, saying goodbye to everybody. Sam challenged me to an arm wrestle and whoever won got to go to Asgard. I won, obviously.

Soon enough, we were on the roof, ready to go. I'd given my dad a big hug goodbye.

"Hold on tightly, Darling," Loki said.

I wrapped my arms around his waist tightly.

"Heimdall!" Thor called.

There was a moment of pause before we were encased in a rainbow light. I buried my face into Loki's chest for a second before I gained enough courage to look at the Bifrost. What I saw left me speechless.

We passed through hundreds of galaxies at lightning speed. There were green galaxies, blue galaxies, pink galaxies... galaxies of every colour imaginable. There were stars twinkling everywhere, and rainbow lights dancing around us.

Almost as soon as it started, it was over. We were standing in a room with golden walls. A man with golden armour and brilliant, golden eyes stood in the centre of the room, holding a magnificent sword.

"Thor, Loki, welcome back to Asgard," Heimdall said. "Lady Y/n, welcome."

I nodded my head and smiled at the man. I got a half smile back. Thor clapped the man on the shoulder and gave him a hug. Loki grabbed my hand and tugged me out of the room and to the rainbow bridge.

I gasped as I saw the golden palace. It was beautiful. It seemed to glow, even from a distance.

"Y/n, dear, I would suggest you wear an Asgardian gown for this meeting," Loki said.

I nodded.

"Could you-"

Before I finished speaking, there was a green flash and my outfit changed. I was wearing a beautiful green dress with golden accents.

"Thank you," I said.

Loki smiled at me and kissed my forehead. It was then that I noticed the two horses waiting for us. There was a white one and a black one. Loki led me towards the darker horse.

"I – uh... I don't know how to ride a horse," I admitted.

"Do not worry," Loki said. "We will be going slowly. I will not let you fall."

I nodded at Loki, and he grabbed my waist and lifted me side-saddle onto the horse. In another fluid movement, he placed his foot in the stirrup and swung his leg over the horse, positioning himself behind me. He made sure I was seated securely before reaching past me and grabbing the reins.

"Ready to go, brother?" Thor asked from atop his own horse.

Loki nodded and the horses began to move. They moved at a regular pace, one that I was comfortable with.

"Now, Y/n, darling," Loki said. "A few things to remember. First, Odin and Frigga are royal. They are to be treated with respect, no matter how much you believe they do not deserve it. Frigga will most likely warm up to you quickly and tell you to drop formalities, but Odin will not. You must address him as 'Your Majesty' unless he tells you otherwise."

"I would prefer to address him as 'bitch', but fine," I grumbled.

"Be respectful," Loki continued. "And just be yourself."

"Loki, you have to pick one, I can't do both," I said. "Have you met my dad? Do you even know who I am?"

"Y/n," Loki said impatiently.

"Fine, fine," I mumbled. "I'll be a good girl."

I could feel Loki smirking at my back. He leaned in and what he said made my toes curl.

"You had best be, because only good girls get rewarded."
