Mischievous (Loki x Reader)

Chapter 5- Nightmares

NO!

You shout running from the figures. They are catching up to you.

HELP! WANDA!

You scream as loud as you can but no one can hear you. The figures managed to grab you, they stick a syringe into you, injecting you with whatever the hell it is they put in you.

NO! GET OFF ME! HELP! PLEASE! SOMONE!

"Y/N?! Y/N get up! Darling you need to wake up." you feel a pair of strong hands shaking you awake. Your eyes shoot open, a layer of cold sweat has formed on your forehead. You see a pair of emerald eyes looking at you, a wave of relief washes over you.

"Darling, what was that?" Loki asks, you don't say anything, you can't, you just crumble, trying to hold back your sobs. Loki holds you close to him, rocking you, stroking your hair, allowing you to cry.

After a few long moments you look back up at him, he smiles softly, wiping away your tears, "Darling, what was that?" he asks softly. Before you can answer the alarm you set starts going off, "JARVIS, off." the alarm stops, you look at Loki, "I'll explain everything later, I can't right now. I'm going to be late." Loki keeps ahold of your hand, looking at you with worried eyes, "Loki, Im fine." you lie, "It was just a nightmare, nothing more." you lie again.

Loki sighs, letting go of your hand. He helps you gather your clothes and walks you out, "I'll come back and explain everything. I promise." you say before kissing him goodbye.

For the rest of the day all you could thing about was last night, and the dream you had. Your thoughts threw you off of your training, you kept missing, and getting hit.

"Come on Y/N! Get your head into it!" Steve shouts from across the training room. His words don't help, you're head is still out of it.

By the end of training Steve comes up to you, "What the hell was that Y/N?" "I'm sorry Cap. I didn't get very good sleep, nightmare." you say starting to pick the side of your right thumb. Steve sighs, placing a hand on your shoulder, "It's alright kid, just.. get some rest alright?" you nod and head off to shower.

When you get out of the shower you pull on some jeans and a sweater, you style your hair into a neat braid and head down to the kitchen. There you see Pepper making some lunch, "Hey sweetie! How was last night?" Pepper asks, "It was good, he liked the pizza and we talked for a bit." you say trying to keep the pink from forming on your cheeks. Pepper gives you a small smirk.

As you walk to the fridge a thought comes comes to your mind you hadn't even though about, "Hey Pep?" you call from the fridge, "Yes?" "Does Loki have any food? Do you guys even feed him?" you true around to see Pepper with a soft smile, "Of course he does. I make sure that his fridge is stocked every week. I would never let him starve.. although Tony didn't seem so opposed to the idea.." she mumbles to herself "why do you ask?" she asks slyly, "Just wondering, I don't want him to starve or anything." you say plainly, "Right..." Pepper says trying to hint at something. You don't say much else.

You think of stuff Loki might like, Loki might like ice cream, since he's so cold you think you yourself, you aren't sure what kind he might like though so you just grab vanilla to be safe. You also grab a box of pasta from the pantry and make your way down to Loki's part of the tower.

When you get there you see him once again on the couch, reading, but this time he seems to be reading Macbeth, you smile and make your way to the kitchen, "Alright trickster, ready to eat?" you say placing the ice cream in the freezer and look for a pot to boil the pasta. You fill the pot with water and place it on the stove, as you shake some salt into the water you feel two hands snake around your waist.
