Loki's Darling

chapter thirteen

Four Years Later...
I woke up with Loki still in bed. His arm holding me up against his front. I began to slowly stand up when he pulled me back down.

"Don't leave just yet." I smirked as I fell back onto the bed. "I have a plan for today, love."

"Do you now?" I laid back down to face him.

"I have organized a play." I looked at him with a look of confusion. "I call it the Tragedy of Loki of Asgard." I busted out laughing.

"You put together a play about yourself?" He nodded excitedly. "We must see it." Loki stood up and turned into his Odin form.

"Today, I want you to be a maid." I nodded and turned myself into maid form. We walked out to the courtyard where a few people were preparing the stage.

"King Odin! We were not expecting you so soon! I apologize for the delay." A squeaky-voiced servant said.

"It is alright. As long as the show starts soon." The servant nodded rapidly.

"Yes, my king, the show shall start very soon." His voice cracked causing a small giggle to escape my lips. "Back to work, whore." The servant said to me. Loki lifted the servant up by his throat.

"What was that?" Loki said angrily. "I suggest you rephrase." The servant was gasping for air.

"I- I'm sorry."

"Don't tell me, tell her." I grinned at Loki.

"I'm sorry, ma'am." Loki released the servant's throat.

"That's no way to speak to a lady. That's why you're still a virgin, boy." Loki shooed the boy away and sat down on his bench.

"Thank you," I whispered to him causing a smile to play about his face.

"And now! The Tragedy of Loki of Asgard!" The curtains rose. Oh my, this ought to be good. I bit my lip as actors took to the stage. The man playing Loki isn't nearly as hot as the real one.

As the play went on, Loki and I did our best not to bust out into laughter.

"I will tell Father what you did here today..." The actor playing Thor said.

"I didn't do it for him..." The actor playing Loki said. Loki still in his Odin form mouthed along the words. I giggled and fed him a grape. A chorus of Asgardians sang a sad tune as the actor acted out Loki dying.

"And so Loki died of his wounds, giving his life for ours. He fought back those disgusting elves. He brought peace to the realms. Loki, my boy, it was many moons ago I found you on that frostbitten battlefield. On that day, I did not yet see in you Asgard's savior. No, merely a blue baby icicle that melted this old fool's heart." The crowd's sobs turned into joyous applause. Loki stood up and applauded.

"Father." Oh God! It's Thor! What the hell is he doing here?! Loki nearly spit out his drink.

"Oh shit," he mumbled handing his drink back to me. "Uh... My son Thor has returned! Greetings, my boy." Loki said covering up his anxiousness very well.

"It's an interesting play, what's it called?" Thor asked making his way over to Loki.

"The tragedy of Loki of Asgard." Loki replied. "People wanted to commemorate him." I stared intently at Thor's face. Making an attempt to read him.

"Indeed they should. Well, I like the statue. Lot better looking than he was when he was alive though. Little less weaselly. Less greasy, maybe." Yep, he knows. Loki and I are fucked. "Do you know what this is?"

"Oh, the skull of surtur. 'Tis a formidable weapon."

"Do me a favor, lock this away in the vault so it doesn't turn into a giant monster and destroy the whole planet." He handed the skull to a maid and she walked away with it. Loki handed me his cup.

"Thank you, dear." He stood up and walked over to Thor. "So, it's- um- back to Midgard for you, is it?" Thor began to throw his hammer a little bit.

"I've been having this reoccurring dream lately. Of Asgard falling to ruins."

"That's just a silly dream. Signs of an overactive imagination." Loki walked closer. Not a good plan. I love him but sometimes he doesn't have the best plans.

"But, then I decide to go out there and investigate and what do I find? The nine realms completely in chaos. Assembling, plotting while you, protector of those nine realms, is sitting here in your bathrobe eating grapes." Thor and I made fleeting eye contact. Now, he really knows.

"Well it is best to respect our neighbor's freedom."

"Yes of course. Freedom to be massacred." Thor threw his hammer earning 'oo's and 'ah's from the crowd.

"Yes, besides I've been rather busy myself-."

"Watching theater." Thor interrupted.

"Well, board meetings," what? Loki, no... "And security counsel meetings." Oh good God, Loki, stop.

"You're really gonna make me do it?" Thor asked.

"Do what?" Loki! Stop! Ughh... This boy... Thor threw his hammer a great distance away.

"You know nothing will stop mjolnir as it returns to my hand. Not even your face." I facepalmed.

"You've gone quite mad." Loki said still pretending to be Odin. "You can be executed for this."

"I'll see you on the other side, brother." I rolled my eyes as Thor's hammer came soaring back closer and closer.

"Alright, I yield!" Loki yelled returning to his natural form. He moved away from Thor's hammer. The crowd ooed in disgust and disbelief.

"Behold! Thor... Odinson..." Skurge came running in. Loki snapped his fingers and pointed his index finger up.

"N-no. You had one job." Loki snapped. "Just the one." Loki turned back around to face Thor.

"Where's Odin?" Thor questioned.

"You just couldn't stay away, could you? Everything was fine without you. Asgard was prospering, I'm to be married." Loki pointed at me and I turned back into my normal form. I waved shyly at Thor. "You've ruined everything."

"Wait- What? You're alive?!" Thor looked incredibly confused. "Do you know the pain Steve feels after your loss?"

"I don't particularly care. I am beyond happy here. With Loki..." I wrapped my arms around his waist and he planted a kiss on my forehead.

"Ew, I don't want to see that. And, you were very dead the last time I saw you." Thor replied.

"Loki is not the only one who can fake their own death." I looked up to him and we kissed. He deepened our kiss by ever so gently licking my bottom lip.

"Okay, stop." Thor grabbed my wrist and pulled me away from him. "Stop it. Ew. That's disgusting."

"Oh, please, you're just jealous because Jane dumped you." Loki said as I giggled. Thor covered my mouth.

"Where's father? Did you kill him?" Thor backed Loki into the couch. Loki fell backwards.

"You have what you wanted. You have the independence you asked for. Ow ow ow." Loki said as Thor laid his hammer on his chest. "Okay, I know exactly where he is."
