From the world of Marvel's 'Thor'! Lady Sigyn of Asgard grew up with Thor and Loki, close with both of the brothers, but especially the youngest... Being in love with the God of Mischief isn't easy! Especially if you're not sure if you can even trus...

Just as she said she would, she stayed. She remained at his side, her friend, holding his hand, long after Thor and Jane had gone.
With some difficulty she grew a flower in her hand and laid it upon his chest. Then, she held his face in both hands, leaned down, and pressed a gentle kiss to his grey lips.
That hadn't been how she had imagined her first kiss, nor her first kiss with Loki. Their first and only.
Yes, she had realized a long time ago that she was in love with him, more than a friend. But she hadn't said anything at the expense of that friendship, one that they both cherished, and one which she would not want to give up for anything. He was her best friend, and the man she loved. And despite everything, all that had happened, all that he had done, it was still as true as before. Her feelings of deep love for him had never wavered, buried beneath the surface. And she didn't want to assume, but she thought that he had felt the same way...
She had lost him once before already - how could she have been so careless as to allow herself to lose him again?
A sudden movement caused her to jump to her feet and spin around, daggers in hand.
But it was only one of Odin's guards. He gave her a solemn nod. "My Lady."
She returned to the palace with him to deliver the grave news to Odin. Or so they thought.
All the signs were there, she just hadn't picked up on them then. Looking back, however, it had all been quite obvious really. She had been too shocked at having seen her best friend stabbed fully through, too devastated at watching him die in her arms, too distraught at having lost him - again.
And it really seemed as though he had died this time. Before, they had thought him dead, but they hadn't seen where he had fallen to, hadn't suspected he might survive such a fall. And here, he had been fatally stabbed, so death seemed inevitable.
Odin summoned her to the throne room. As always, she knelt down in a bow.
"Lady Sigyn," Odin addressed her. "I was just wondering how you are coping with Loki's loss?"
"Alright, thank you." She nodded. "So Thor has returned to Midgard?" She didn't blame him for his decision, but now she had lost both of her closest friends.
"He has. To be with the mortal."
"Yes. The woman he loves."
"Yes..."
"The things people will do for love," she remarked.
"Yes... Well I just wanted to check in with you, see how you were doing."
"Thank you." She bowed her head and turned to leave.
"Lady Sigyn." She turned back to face him. "On the topic of love - Loki loved you very much."
She nodded. "Yes, I know. I only wish that I could have told him of how I felt. That deep down, I have always loved him too."
"I'm sure he knew," Odin assured her.
"I hope so."
"I know he did."
She nodded. "I'm just a little disappointed. That he didn't feel he could tell me how he felt, even though we're best friends. Or were." She knelt down in a bow. "My King," she said mockingly and with a forced smile, and with that she left the hall.
When the doors closed behind her there was a flash of green and gold as Loki removed the Odin illusion and transformed back into himself. He smirked.
(She knows Loki, she knows! She can see right through you! ;) Haha! Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed - now on to 'Ragnarok'!)
