Loki stood in the shadows of the palace, watching as you walked through the golden halls. He had always been fascinated by you, with your bright, curious eyes and your kind heart.

But he knew he could never have you; and that thought brought a frown to his face. As the adopted prince of Asgard, he was expected to marry a woman of noble birth with the sole purpose of producing an heir. He was not allowed to follow his own heart; and that thought alone broke him

He watched as you passed by, your long, flowing dress brushing behind you. He wanted nothing more than to go up to you and tell you how he felt, but he knew it was impossible--he was not destined for happiness.

So he stayed lurking in the shadows, secretly watching over you and protecting you from afar. He knew he could never be with you, but the least he could do was keep you safe--it kept his mind at peace.

But one day, everything changed. Loki was accused by the Allfather of a crime he didn't commit and was forced to flee Asgard because of it. He knew he could never return; but taking you with him was a risk he was not willing to take. He would have to live with the fact that he would never see you again.

The thought of leaving you behind tore him apart. He wanted nothing more than to stay by your side, but he knew it was for the best. He had to protect you from the dangers that came with being with him--the dangers that came from fleeing the Allfather.

So with a heavy heart and watery eyes, he left you behind and set out on a new journey; one without you in it. He vowed to use his powers for good; to make up for some of the mistakes he had made in his past during his exile. But no matter how far he roamed, he could never shake the memories of you. He missed your endearing smile and your comforting presence; and he missed the way your laugh could enchant everyone in the room.

He knew he had made the right decision in leaving Asgard behind, but it didn't make the pain of losing you any easier.

Years had passed, and Loki found himself on some distant planet of the galaxy; working to protect its people from danger. He had found a new purpose and a sense of belonging, but he still couldn't forget about you.

One day, as he was patrolling the streets, he saw a familiar face in the crowd and it made him pause in his tracks.

It was you; you were older, but you were still as beautiful as the day he first laid eyes on you.

Loki's heart skipped a beat as he watched you walk towards him. He didn't know what to say or do, but he knew he couldn't walk away from you again.

He stepped forward and took your hand, drowning into your e/c eyes once again gave him a sense of home. "I never forgot about you, Y/n." he said, his voice full of emotion.

"I've thought about you every day. I'm truly sorry for everything I've put you through. All I've wanted to do was protect you from the evilness that comes from being associated with the royalty of Asgard."

You looked at him with understanding and squeezed his hand. "I know," you said. "I've never forgotten about you either. And Norns above I can't tell you how happy I am to know that you're safe."

A wave of relief crashed over him. He knew that he certainly didn't deserve your forgiveness, but he will spend the rest of your time together proving to you that he was eternally grateful for it.

He leaned down and kissed you, feeling a sense of happiness and peace that he had never felt before. He knew he had finally found his place in the universe; and that place was by your side.

Together, Loki and you walked hand in hand into the sunset, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead and build a future full of love and happiness.
