loki imagine

chapter 1

AN: I have done little to no revisions for this. So forgive my wackass grammar and general flow.

Im going to break this up to label any potential triggers.

Anyhoo, maybe read, maybe dont, im not the boss of you.

you have served Loki for a while. You are nothing but a slave to the royal family but you still cared, everyone saw him as a villain, no one saw him treat you with kindness, It was behind closed doors when he did after all.the prince had taught you to read and write,you would share stories while you accompanied him on walks around the gardens. you were assigned as his personal servant,so you had to stay near him at all times, even if it was when Odin would relieve his frustrations on his adopted son. The attacks had begun to escalate. Odin would send you off to some menial task,and you would return to Loki attempting to hide cuts and bruises with clothing. You only saw his back twice, both by accident. After all You are small and quiet, And since you were considered a child in Asgard you were only to bring him meals and such (yes i am talking about sthomthing sthexual). One day after the Kings mind numbingly aggravating war meetings, you could tell Odin was about to have another one of his sessions With the prince.
Odin: Loki, I need to have a word with you. go to your quarters and wait till I arrive.
Loki: yes father
He limped away, subtly using you as support, his leg still sore after one of Odins games two days ago. The king had begun to make you watch as he beat his son and you couldn’t stand it anymore. Today you decided that you would do something about it.
(in Loki’s quarters)
Odin: what have I told you about speaking you worthless boy!
His harsh words accompanied by a several sharp slas across the face.It had begun, you watched as the king landed several heavy punches each bringing the helpless prince closer to the ground, then he landed a kick accompanied by a small crunch. That was when things quickly went downhill. The king pulled out a tightly coiled whip, one of his favorite toys, and hit Loki with a thunderous crack,you couldn’t stand by any longer. Without thinking you ran in between Odin and Loki, raised your arms so the whip hit you instead of him,it wrapped around your forearm with a Burning sting.
You: stop this, your majesty The prince has done nothing wrong.
Loki: child,n- no. don’t, don’t do this.
He says still holding his hand up in defence as he laid on the ground helpless against his father's tourment.
Odin: oh? the bird speaks? Well, if you care so dearly for him so much then why don’t you take the blows in his stead.
Odin grabbed you by the collar of your uniform and pulled you close to his face. Form the corner of your vision,confusion smeared into Loki's features, melting into fear.
Odin: you are coming with me.
He spat
Odin: Loki, you are to stay here until I return your little pet.
L: but father!
Odin: you will listen to your king, filth! I will return her once I am done.
Odin left the room as you followed, dropping a small folded paper as you left. It glided across the smooth tiles, sticking under the edge of a thick grey rug. To Loki  written on one side, he picked it up and read the faint lettering
You were the first to show me kindness here
What Odin does to you is wrong and i can no longer stand it
If you’re reading this i am taking your place as His thing to abuse
You are no evil, you are good
Thank you
Loki sank to his knees, clutching the note close to his heart. Burning tears blinding him as he held back sobs. a simple child offered their life for his. Someone he did not know the name of, who helped tend his wounds, bring him clothes that were not stained with his blood. This child might die because he was foolish enough to let them go, because he was too scared to face his father.
(Odin's quarters)
Odin: child, you show courage, however misplaced..now the more noise you make, the worse it will be, understood?
You: yes your majesty
