This may be his final end.
He had no idea on how to get away with their shit this time. Maybe that was the sign for them to finally stop and work on his issues with his father and apologize to their brother and mother. Only them of course, Odin didn't deserve an apology. Loki could've probably have a normal and even happy childhood if Odin didn't act as if Loki was air. He wouldn't have spend half his childhood in the library alone and the other half, being the bad guy.
To be fair, it wasn't all Odin's fault. Mostly it was his own fault for being such an arrogant person who believed he deserved the throne.
Loki didn't even want to be king or queen. He only ever wanted to be Thor's equal but how could he keep up with Asgard's golden boy?
But Loki never blamed Thor.
Thor was a wonderful brother, even if he often couldn't really understand Loki but who was he to blame?
Loki himself couldn't understand the feelings of a person even if they would tell him in every detail how they felt.
That's probably how he often got mistaken as a rude person as a child, he just couldn't process in his head how his actions affected the feelings and believes of others.
Of course he knew that what he did when he was in Asgard the last time was bad but he would've never thought that his own mother and brother would be so shattered.
So his attempt wasn't planned. He only saw Thor's face on the bifrost and knew how much he must've hurt him.
He would've never guessed that his attempt would lead him to thanos and seeing his brother again, even if he wasn't himself then.
And now he sat in his old room in chains that blocked his magic, guards in front of the door, waiting to step in and take him to one of the glorious chambers where Odin would arrest him and put him in prison.
As he thought before, this was a chance to emotionally get over it. In prison he would have enough time to think through everything.
But in the end, that wouldn't change Odin's mind either.
Then Loki heard the door of his own room open.
He sat up to be lead to Odin but then he saw a very familiar face from his childhood that stood in the doorframe.
He would've noticed those blond, short locks and the sharp jawline everywhere but the normally resting smirk was like it just washed away.
Fandral stepped closer, closing the doors behind him with a nod to the guards.
Loki tried to not show how much he appreciated a little visit from someone he had good memories with.
They were friends back then, even if they weren't anything alike.
Loki was quite and even a 'little' arrogant and fandral was extremely extroverted and always smiled.
They haven't talked with each other since Loki betrayed the throne king and the whole kingdom.
Loki couldn't blame fandral for being mad at him, fandral never even said a single bad thing about Loki and still Loki shut him out of his life.
But what did he want from him now?
Fandral gulped before starting to talk, as if he also didn't know what to say like Loki :„princess Loki, it's nice seeing you after such s long time.“ finally a bit of a grin showed up in his face.
Loki felt as if fandral was the only one he could analyze the emotions from the face and always appreciated it how calm fandral was when Loki didn't exactly understood why fandral was sad or angry. 
And Loki also appreciated how fandral sometimes called him pet names like princess or my lady or so.
It just made him feel special, and that feeling obviously wasn't there when he was younger.
„how do I deserve such noble words as a arrested frost giant? You don't owe me any kind of respect now“, Loki said calmly, sitting back on his old bed again.
They tapped on the empty place beside him, signalising that fandral should sit next to him.
Fandral stepped closer, sitting down and reached his hand out to Loki.
He carefully touched the little scars on Loki's neck and followed his fingers over every little scar with his eyes.
Loki hated physical touch but like most other ways to show affection, it was fine if it was fandral.
Fandral then spoke :„You deserve so much Loki. Back when we were kids, you knew that, so what makes you think you can just put yourself down like this?“
Loki moved his own hand to fandral's and held it in a way, he often did back then when fandral fell from a tree as an attempt to make Loki laugh by climbing up. Loki always held fandral's hand like this to stop him from crying.
But then Loki immediately put his hand down and ignored the bad feeling of coldness on his hand after the loss.
He looked down and began to talk :„we aren't children anymore and I accepted the fact that there is no space for someone like me in asgard.“ he paused to see if he could find an expression on fandral that he could order in.
He then moved on after but exactly knowing how fandral could feel about it:„but I'll probably have to go to prison. So no matter what my title in this kingdom is, I still won't see anything from the castle anymore.“
Fandral's mood lighted up a little and Loki thought that he probably misread his expression until Fandral told him:„ that's why I actually am here, princess. Queen Frigga, Thor and I talked to Odin about your punishment and he told us that you won't go to prison. You also won't be sent to the exiles! But we couldn't get him to completely remove a punishment. You will be watched by a guard that he trusts enough for you to be free!“ Loki looked at his friend in disbelief and nearly screamed at him :„ what?! Do you know who will watch over me? And how did you get him to allow this? Thank you, fandral! I could kiss you, thank you!“ 
Only after he said that he noticed his mistake. He heard this a few times on Midgard and accidentally vocally used it as it seemed. 
Fandral, who didn't know much about Midgard, looked him confused in the eyes with a light pink shade in the face. Loki also felt his face heat up and quickly apologized:„ I'm sorry, I heard people on Midgard say that. I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable with it.“
Fandral rubbed the back of his head with his left hand and answered stuttering :„ yeah no- it's.. yeah uh sure. I mean- yes I know who will keep an eye on you. me and back to the kiss- not that it will happen- but how do midgardians use such a phrase in normal life? Do they have another meaning for "kiss" than on Asgard?“
Loki ignored the question about the meaning of kissing in Midgard and quickly smiled as he heard that fandral would be with him now.
„i am happy that you ,my prince, will be with me now to watch over me“, Loki answered, using a nickname he made for fandral in their childhood.
