To Save A Life (Loki X Reader)

Chapter 18

A/n

My phone broke 😭😭😭 am writing from my mummy's phone. My tests are starting from 1st of July so updates might be kinda late.

So posting two chapters as bribe.

Enjoy and pray for my broke ass so that I may get enough money to get my phone fixed. Because my mum isn't gonna do it and she has made it plenty clear.

Have a nice day/night whatever. 🥰

He brought her back by evening. Her powers it seemed were triggered by negative emotions. First it was fear. Then anger.

So he had made sure to leave her in her room and take every residence of the tower to give that piece of information. Thor still had his doubts about her. He couldn't care less.

After that was settled their lengthy debate about magic ended. His mother had helped him a lot. Making sure the mortals knew what they were taking about.

Then there was the matter of getting her to eat something. She refused to go down. Even on their outing she hadn't touched anything he had conjured.

Eventually she gave in and came down but refused to eat. He cajoled her to eat something, and while they all ate actual food, she ate chocolate ice cream. Better than nothing.

Thor kept looking at her and he kept looking at him, daring him to try to say anything.
He wisely kept his comments to himself.

Now she walked ahead of him, looking more beautiful than ever in his shirt. She stole everyone's clothes even when she had enough of hers. Claiming they were more comfortable than everything she owned.
The moonlight made her look like a dream.

He never wanted to wake up.

He walked behind the woman he was too afraid to love, wanting for time to stop then and there.

She said something he didn't catch, he quips something he doesn't know and she narrows her eyes at him. That makes him break off from his stupor.

"Now, don't do that. You don't look as beautiful with small eyes." He said, hoping to start another banter with her.

"I always look pretty. I was born pretty." She turns back to pout at him and then starts to walk backwards.

"If I knew you a few years before, I could conform to that." He quips.

She laughs at that.

And his soul breaks into a million pieces.

She looks so adorable that he can almost forget who she is, where he is.

If he were to wield time. He would stop all the clocks. Just to hear that sound for the rest of his days.

It's like that one sound has rewrote who was entirely. Everything he was remains in the past as he yearns to be everything she needs.

He didn't even know it was possible for someone to become so precious to anyone.

Still, he wanted her to be away from him. Where he couldn't hurt her. Where she would be safe.

"Loki?" she whispers as she looks up at him, a smile dancing on her lips.

"Don't do that." He snaps without meaning to. He wasn't like this. Not with her. Never with her.

But she made him want to break himself and put every piece of him as she wanted it to be.

This little creature, who cried during thunderstorms, scared him.
