"Thor," you grumble, running a hand through your now disheveled hair. "You have 5 seconds to tell my why you dragged me back from Midgard to see your freaking father."
"Because..." he trails off, swinging his hammer. "My father isn't-well, you'll see." Muttering under your breath some more, your jump on his back, waiting for him to take to the skies.
When the two of you land, the first thing you notice is a big, golden statue of...
Loki.
"What the-?"
"You took the words right out of my mouth," you reply, shaking your head in disbelief. "Was Odin on a bipolar day or something? When did this-?" your hands move up in down in gesture to the tall statue. "-come along?"
"That only furthers my reason for bringing you here," Thor adds, pulling you along.
As if the statue wasn't weird, behold, there was an entire play being held right now, with men in costumes, which you assumed was supposed to be Thor and Loki. What really caught your attention was Odin, in all his 'glory,' lounged upon a sofa, stuffing grapes in his mouth like they were the last snack on earth.
"Oh no," you whisper. "This is much worse." Thor remains silent until the play is over, leaving you to cringe over how horrible it was.
"Father," you hear him call, Odin choking on his drink and muttering something you couldn't exactly hear.
"Uh, my son Thor has returned!" he announces to the crowd of people. "Greetings, my boy. And his guest, the lovely Lady (Y/n) of Asgard, people!" You furrow your brows in confusion, Odin had never acknowledged you with such...enthusiasm? You didn't even know what to call it at this point.
"Give up the games brother, honestly," Thor scoffs, twisting the hammer in his grip. "The secret is out, you know."
"Thor, what are you talking about?" you question, too overwhelmed by the enormous amount of confusion that was clouding your brain.
"I would like to know as well!" Odin agrees, almost struggling to look Thor in the eyes.
"Oh, so you'd like to do this the hard way?" Thor says, throwing Mjolnir far off into the distance. "Fine." He grabs his father and yanks him in front of his body. "You know nothing will stop Mjolnir as it returns to my hand, not even your face."
"Whoa," you cut in, trying move Thor's hand. Sure, you didn't like his father, but he was literally planning on murdering him. "Why on Midgard are you trying to assassinate your father?" He doesn't respond however, and that hand doesn't budge either.
"You've gone quite mad," Odin counters, trying to struggle out of his son's grip. "You'll be executed for this!"
"Then I'll you on the other side..." Thor dismisses him, leaning down to whisper one last word. "Brother." The hammer then starts whizzing in their direction.
"Thor!" you yell, running over to the two.
"Alright, I yield!" Odin calls, but his voice sounds different, familiar even. And then, after a shimmer of green, you know exactly why.
Thor pushes him out of the way, catching the hammer, while the mysterious man stops with his hands up, and you silently wish for him to turn around, and confirm your suspicions. And he does.
Longer black curls, the usual green and black attire, not dead.
He was alive. Loki was alive.
You step closer to him, and he looks in your (e/c) eyes, letting you place your direct either side of his face. A choked sob escapes your lips, feeling tears beginning to form.
"L-Loki..?" you breathe, eyes glistening.
"Hello again, darling," he smiles. It-It was real, he was real. You stare at him, wanting to pull him in for a hug, or a kiss. And...
"Ow," he huffs, holding his face as your expression turns angry. "I deserved that, didn't I?"
"Oh, you deserve much more than that," you scorn wryly. "I thought you were dead for almost a year, Loki! You lied to me!" He sighs and cups your face, and your body betrays you by leaning into it.
"Love, I had to," he replies. "I did. But...is there anything I can do to make up for it?" You contemplate it, backing away and looking to Thor, crossing your arms.
"Thor! Is this the only thing you brought me here for?"
~The End~
