loki laufeyson ≫ i'll catch you

They say falling in love is one of the most beautiful feelings all in itself. To be completely infatuated with someone that they are on your mind every second of every day is breathtaking. You never really know you're falling in love, it just happens. Everything slowly falls into place, like putting pieces of a jigsaw together to create a masterpiece.

Falling in love is like a small flame has ignited inside of you and every time you are with the person that makes you feel euphoric, the flame gets bigger and brighter until it is a roaring fire, sparking and shining intensely.

As you looked up at the star filled sky, he crept his way into your mind, slowly but surely making you feel giddy inside. His deep emerald green eyes were all you could think about, the way a mischievous glint shone from them whenever in a certain light. His long, coal-black hair that was swept back out of his face, his strong, chiseled cheekbones, his soft, husky accent. He was all you could think about, his presence not leaving your mind. Every part of him you found irresistible.

"(Y/N)?" A gentle voice spoke from behind you. You already knew who it was as soon as your name fell from his lips. The way he said it made you weak at the knees.

"Yes, Loki?" you asked, your voice soft-spoken. You could feel him getting closer and closer to you. He soon stood beside you at the balcony's edge.

"Why aren't you in at the party with the others?" He quizzed, his smoky voice sent butterflies through you. "You should be in there enjoying yourself, the party is for you after all."

"I know, Loki, I just needed some air." Lie. Really you just couldn't stand the sight of woman after woman throw themselves at Loki, even though he wasn't exactly yours for the taking.

"My Dearest (Y/N)," he started, turning to look at you. His eyes sparkled, the high-points of his face were sharper, the moonlight cast shadows over his face, defining it. "You are one of my closest friends, I can tell when you are lying."

"Me, lying?" a 'pfffft' noise sounded from your mouth. "Why would I lie?" You chuckled, hoping he wouldn't see past your nervous facade.

"I always know the difference between you telling the truth and lying, (Y/N). When you are telling the truth about something you make large hand gestures and your eyes light up as you speak. When you are lying you avoid looking people in the eyes, you speak lower and you twiddle your thumbs. These things do not go unnoticed."

You blushed slightly as he spoke. He knew all this about you, he actually payed attention to you more than you thought he did.

"So," he moved closer to you, his breath upon your face, the soft smell of some cologne radiated from him. He was so close that if he was to move his head forward even slightly, his lips would be on yours. You had to refrain yourself from kissing him right there and then. "Are you going to tell me the truth?".

"Loki," you sighed, stepping away from him. As much as you loved being in such a close proximity to him, you knew you shouldn't lead yourself on, considering he won't feel the same way about you. "I can't tell you the truth."

"Why (Y/N)? Are you hiding something from me?" He question, his eyebrow arched causing wrinkles to form on his forehead.

"No, well yes but I can't tell you what that would be." You responded, your eyes averting contact with his.

"Why? Why would you keep something from me, I though friends told each other everything? I thought we promised never to lie to each other? Why would you do that, (Y/N)?" He interrogated.

"Because," your voice got low, so low that it was barely audible. "I love you."

"What was that?" He questioned, his voice getting louder, his accent becoming more prominent.

"Because I love you, you idiot. There I said it!" You shouted, your hands flying to your mouth as soon as the words left your lips. Your eyes widened, shocked at what had just happened.

Loki looked taken aback, he was completely frozen on the spot. "Y-you what?" he stuttered.

"I love you, Loki. You're all I think about, every waking second of the day. It's crazy because I don't even know when you became so important to me, it just happened and now it won't stop. When I'm around you I feel on top of the world and when I'm not with you I feel as if I'm missing a part of me. I always told myself I wouldn't let myself get hurt again, but for some reason with you it all feels worth it. I can't put my love on the line once more, it's too dangerous but all I want is you, I want you to love me. I want to be your favourite hello and your hardest goodbye. Being with you is like one gigantic adventure. I hate feeling like this, I hate you for making me feel like this. Why do you have to be so perfect, why did you have to make me love you?"

A small smile appeared on Loki's face, the smile soon developing into a grin, then into chuckling.

"Why are you laughing at me?" You cried, the tears falling harder. 'Great now he knows I love him and he finds it funny.' "Seriously Loki, stop la-"

Before you could finish your sentence, a soft pair of lips were placed upon your own. Your eyes were wide open, you couldn't process what was happening. Soon you melted into the kiss, your arms coming up to wrap around Loki's neck. One of his hands gripped your waist while the other came up to your face, holding it lightly with his smooth hands.

Your body was going into a frenzy. Your heart was going at a hundred beats per second, you were positive it was about to pop out of your chest.

After a minute or so, you both pulled away breathing heavily. Your eyes fluttered open to find Loki's green ones already staring back at you. His head rested against yours, his other hand fell down to your waist with the other one.

"I love you too, my love." Loki began to speak. "I need you like I need air, like an ocean needs water. You are my world, (Y/N)."

You blushed furiously at his words, you couldn't believe this was actually happening, it was like something that only happened in a movie or a book.

"Loki, I love you more than words but I'm scared. Each day I fall harder and harder for you and I can't seem to stop myself, I just keep falling."

"I'll catch you."

Hi! I actually really enjoyed writing this imagine. I love Loki, he's just so sarcastic and witty and I only just realised I had not included him in this book so I thought it was only fair to write one for him.

Also I've got 400 reads that's like so mind blowing, what the hell? Thank you so much to everyone who has read, commented and voted so far!
