Ashes (MCU/Loki fan fic)

King

  You sat beside Frigga at Odinson bedside. Frigga thought the most of you, as you did of her.

"I never get use to seeing him like this." Loki said from the other side of the bed. "This time is different, we were unprepared." Frigga fretted, holding Odin's hand.

"When will he wake?" Loki asked. "We don't know, and with Thor banishment, the throne falls to you Loki." She said.

Loki looked to her, and you both looked to Loki. He gave only a slight nod then looked back to Odin.

"Why don't you sit the throne, mother?" Loki finally asked. She shook her head no, "I want leave his side, we worry he might not wake. Loki," she said looking to him. He looked to her.

"You're ready, darling." She smiled. Loki Slightly Smiled back.

-

Loki day in the throne, helmet in all his glory, staff in tow. He said legs apart, leaning against the left arm rest holding he staff, other hand spread across the right arm rest. He was right at home.

You were making your way to the training grounds, therefor passing past the entrance of the throne.

"Stop right there." His booming voice rang. You froze nervously and turned to him. "Come here." He demanded.

He's joking- right? Damn please be joking.

You walked to his feet.

"Kneel, before your king." He said smirking devilishly. You swallowed hard and went to bend your knee.

"Oh stop stop stop stand up don't be silly." He laughed standing and walking down to you. You sighed and smiled.

"Dear hell I thought you were serious!"You laughed putting a hand on your heart he laughed and stood before you.

"Did I sound convincing?" He asked and you laughed.
"You've never had trouble getting people to listen to you what are you talking about?" You both laughed.

"Off to train?" He asked. You nodded pushing same hair out of your face. "Training with the warriors three?" He asked slightly less happy.

You wrinkled your nose up and shook your head. "Word has it their looking for the king, they should be here soon." You Smiled. He smiled too.

"Thank you for the warning." He laughed and jogged back up the steps sitting back down, the exact same way.

"Should you be going?" He asked. "Or should I stay for the blow?" You asked. He gave a 'not a bad idea' face and you stayed where you were smiling.

"I feel so disrespectful." You laughed. "Why?" He chuckled.

You Smiled, then took a knee, bowing your head with your forearm across your chest. "My king." You said then looked to him. He smirked to you.

You stood, then turned at the evolve of Sif, followed by the warriors three.

"Allfather we must speak to you urgently-" Sif said, hand on her heart as the others. Loki raised his chin.

"My, friends." He said. They looked to you and you looked down. They all walked down the steps to meet at his feet behind you.

"Where's Odin?" Volstagg asked. "Father has fallen into the odinsleep, mother fears he may never wake again." Loki spoke. Sif was now beside you.

"We will speak to her then." Sif said. "She has refused to leave my fathers bed side. You can bring your urgent matter to me," he said standing, moving the staff to his dominant hand, the loud tap echoed as it his the golden floor.

"Your king." He finished In a demanding tone. Sif and the others looked to you, and once again, looking straight at Loki, and being the first, kneeled.

More for effect than anything, but to lead an example. The others swallowed their pride and also kneeled.

"My king, we would ask you end thors banishment." Sif said. Loki tilted his head slightly.

"My first command as king cannot be to undo the allfathers last." He said. Sif went to stand, you and Fandral grabbed her.

Then you all stood.

You put a hand on your chest. "Thank you, my king." You Spain for them. Then you turned. "Come now." You hissed to them walking off. Sif hesitating, they followed you off.

'Quite the actress' rang through your head in Loki's voice. You smiled, making use of your telepathy as well and spoke to him.

Thank you, my king.

You smirked. He smirked sinisterly watching you leave.
