Loki x reader ON HOLD

4

I look around and see Loki sitting alone at the end of the table. Thor and his friends are next to him but they are ignoring him. People keep asking that I move to speak with them and Odin asks if I am going to go speak to anyone else.

"Excuse me, I'm going to go speak with more people." I say getting up. I move to sit next to Loki. Multiple people give me questioning or worried looks but go back to their conversations.

"Hello everyone." I say calmly. They all greet me kindly then continue their conversations. I turn to face Loki and realize he had been staring at me. I sensed he felt embarrassed and he quickly looked away.

That was weird. I wouldn't expect someone like him to react that way. "So, lady (y/n), I see you've taken a liking to my brother!" Thor says loudly, but not loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Well he has been very kind to me in the past couple of days, and I did not wish to see him be outcasted by his own brother and friends." I say sternly. Loki smirks and Thor just sits there shocked trying to come up with something to say.

"We do have our reasons but I suppose we have been fairly harsh when it comes to giving him a second chance." Lady Sif says. Earlier that day Thor had introduced me to Lady Sif and the Warriors three. They were strange but in a good way I suppose.

"Well. I have come over here to try and make friends who aren't trying to hook me up with their sons." I say jokingly. "I'm not sure this is the right place to hide! Fandral here is a mighty flirt." Volstagg jokes, while shoving an entire boar leg into his mouth. That man has the biggest appetite I've ever seen.

"Well. I'll have to see what I can do about that." I tell him. "Is that a challenge I hear?" Hogun asks grinning. "I suppose so. I'll be down in the training grounds in an hour. See you there." I say getting up to return to my room. Finally I get to fight. When I was back on Midgard, earth, I used to go to an old gym that had a boxing rink and take my anger out on random men. I was fairly good. I had just begun training with small blades when all of this crazy stuff happened.

When I get to my room I change into clothes that would be comfortable to fight in and prepare to leave to the training grounds. I'm almost ready when I hear a knock on my door.

Upon opening it, I am greeted by Loki.

"If you don't mind id like to escort you to the training grounds." He says politely. "It's not because I've taken a liking to you or anything, I just want to see those goons get beat up." He continues with an evil grin. I can't help but smile at this.

"Of course." I say taking his arm.
"Aren't you going to use any armor?" He asks

"I do not have any, nor do I need it for such a fight." I explain.

Once we arrive at the training grounds, I see that Thor and his friends are already there. Fandral is the one I'll be fighting. He is standing there in full armor and ready to fight.

"No weapons in this fight. I'm not planning on killing you. Only hurting you." I say to him with a smirk. He drops his weapon he had been holding and motions me forward.

"How about this. When I win, I take you to dinner somewhere. And if for the slightest reason you win, I back off and leave you alone." Fandral says.

"Alright. Deal." I say. Loki looks a bit jealous but I ignore it. Why would he be jealous I'm probably nothing to him!

Thor counts down "3.. 2.. 1.. FIGHT!"

Fandral steps at me but I quickly swipe his leg forward causing him to fall onto his back. "I thought you were supposed to be one of the best warriors." I mock him. He looks upset for a moment then climbs back to his feet attempting a punch at me. I duck and he misses so I take the opportunity to grab his arm and slam him to the ground again. This time I climb atop of him and punch him across the face, knocking him out.

When I get up I see the shocked looks on everyone's faces.

"That was too easy for me. Now. If you'll excuse me I'm going to go clean up." Turning away from them I see Loki grinning madly. He offers me his arm and I take it again.

While we exit the training grounds I look over my shoulder and see Fandral getting up looking confused. Ha. He didn't know what was coming to him.

"That was amazing! I did not expect to see that happen!" Loki says excitedly while we walk. "I didn't expect it to be so easy. But I was determined to not have to go on a date with him of all people." I say. When I say that I sense that Loki feels relieved. Why would he feel relieved? Maybe because he got to see Fandral get beat up. That must be it.

I look up at him and see his perfect face. While I'm looking at him we were walking through a garden. The lighting reflects off of him in marvelous ways. This man is the most attractive man I have ever seen.

"Why thank you." He says with a grin. "W-what?" I say. Did he read my thoughts! I thought he can't do that!

"I shouldn't be able to do that." He says. Oh my god he is reading my thoughts.

"How are you doing that. And. Please pretend like you didn't know what I was thinking before okay."  I say looking at the ground. I'm blushing like crazy now.

"Why would I want to forget it? And I'm not trying to read your thoughts it's just happening." I can tell he's telling the truth. Maybe what Odin said about the life partner thing is happening! With Loki! At least it's not Fandral or someone like that. I look back up at Loki and begin hearing his voice. He's not talking though.

"I wonder if she can read my thoughts as well. If she can then she knows I think she's beautiful. We must go to Odin about this immediately." I was reading his thoughts! Wait. He thinks I'm beautiful? As soon as I pull my arm away from his the thoughts stop.

"We must only be able to read each other's thoughts while we're touching. And I agree. We should go to Odin about this." I say walking towards the door leading to the throne room.

"Wait. You could read my thoughts too? For how long..?" He asks blushing.

"Only a moment." I tell him turning back to the doorway.
