Loki Laufeyson x Reader [Words from the heart]

I'm facing some tough issues at the moment, I'm sorry for such slow update but I've had a little relapse into some shitty stuff. I'm talking to people and it shouldn't affect things too much, I love you all and please stay strong.

Don't carry the weight of the world, you only have two hands.

...........................................................................

As the sun rises on the hill far away, I swear ill pray and pray for everyday...

Every time she had to watch him leave through that door, a little piece of her broke. It was so infuriating not knowing whether he would survive or not. They didn't trust him. They couldn't see how much he had changed. Even after he saved lives, even after he risked it all to come back and fight with his brother. He had changed, but they didn't see that.

...for everyday that you are away...

If they wouldn't accept his change, then she couldn't count on them to watch him. To treat him as a member for the team, they wouldn't notice if he was hurt, they wouldn't help him when he fell down. He wasn't really one of them so he wasn't their problem really. Every other team member would take priority before him.

...for everyday that I must stay...

He was still a villain. Loki the trickster God was all they saw. A God of mischief to them, but a hero to her. He had saved her as much as Thor had saved Jane. He had saved her as much as Tony saved Pepper. He loved her as much as any hero loves his women.

...alone is my real test...

To watch him leave was painful and the urge to run and catch him before that door closed again was almost too much. But she restrained and stood not far away as the old oak wood creaked shut and reignited the barrier between them.

...because my love how I can I rest...

Sleepless nights, wondering where he was, how he was. It was pointless. Staring at the phone, begging for a text, call, email something to ease the pain. When another name would appear, her whole body would go numb. The day they called to tell her he hadn't made it was the day she would stop living. Instead all she ever heard was, "he's fine", then they would hang up.

...when you are out there...

It didn't matter though. He was ok that was what mattered. Just a whisper from anyone telling her he was going to be alright, made her push on. She had work too, just not as life threatening.

...much too far without a care...

She knew he would do something reckless without thinking. He tried so hard to prove himself all the time but no one took notice. Even in Brazil when his throwing knife saved Clint's life, or when his duplication spell confused the enemy long enough for the team to escape. He came back injured and bruised, because he was taking hits for them. How many time did (Y/N) beg him to stop? Too many, but he wouldn't. It was clear Loki was done with being the bad guy, why couldn't they see that?

...too close to those that scorn you...

Thor seemed the least forgiving. Which was strange considering how much he tried to convince the team before that he was a changed man. Every little insult the older brother could get in he would. Instead of some witty comment back, Loki just looked away and stayed quiet. It hurt that his own brother would treat him like this, but he wouldn't say anything. He felt he deserved it, there was only one thing that could change that.

...too far from those that morn you...

Her. The beautiful (H/C) girl that waited for him. Why he knew didn't sleep well while he was gone. Who he knew tried so hard to not make him stay. He knew everything this put her through and he vowed one day it would all be over. He planned to take her away when the time came, move to the country and live happily there. Away from New York, away from the avengers, and his reputation. Somewhere he could be the man he had finally become. But not yet.

...each time you leave my body feels alarm...

(Y/N) sat there not sure how to end it. This poem had to be perfect it was everything she wanted to say but couldn't. What rhymed with alarms? Her pencil tapped on the edge of the old, sand coloured notebook. It was filled with poems she wrote. He would ream them sometimes, and he loved them. So deep in the inky black markings on the page before her, the creaking door escaped her notice. Slowly a pair on slim arms wrapped around her back, and a gentle kiss landed on her neck.

"Hello darling" he whispered.

It too only a second for her to whip around and embrace him. They shared a passionate kiss before his eyes caught the book. Quickly he skimmed the page then slowly leaned forward, writing a last line and looking at her for approval. Her face lit up as she once again kissed him. Loki easily picked the girl up and headed for the bedroom. Those words left alone but their message still clear in the lovers hearts.

As the sun rises on the hill far away, I swear ill pray and pray for everyday

For every day that you are away

For every day that I must stay

Alone is my real test

Because my love how I can I rest

When you are out there

Much too far without a care

Too close to those that scorn you

Too far from those that morn you

Each time you leave my body feels alarm

Since you are only safe in my arms

There is always someone who will be willing to accept you, no matter the odds.
