Loki Imagines

Not You, Him

You walked down the sidewalks of New York looking around at the people that also walked down the sidewalk. It wasn't that crowded today, and you actually could move your arms around freely. Then you noticed two girls get excited as they walked up to someone. You were curious so you followed.

That's when you saw who they were with. They were taking pictures with one Thor, and you noticed his brother Loki was with him. Loki looked different not just in appearance, but he seemed to have changed. He seemed calm, a little aggravated, but he was pleasant. Now that you could see him up close, he was rather charming. He hadn't smiled, and yet you imagined he had the most swoon worthy smile. He stood tall and kept his arms crossed over his chest for some time.

You didn't realize how close you had actually gotten until the girls left.

"Hello there. Would you like a photo as well?" The booming voice of Thor grabbed your attention. You observed him, and he just wasn't what people described him as. At least not to you. Sure he had the smile, the charm, and charisma. However he did not grab your attention as his brother had. Finally you looked to him to give him your answer.

"No. Not you, him." You pointed at Loki, and he was rather shocked. You walked closer to Loki and smiled. "You don't mind, do you? I totally understand if you don't want to. I also don't have social medias, so you wouldn't have to worry about that." You stammered.

"You want to take this um picture with me? Not my brother?"

"Yes I want to take a picture with you. You are quite charming if I may say." You blushed holding your hands looking to him.

He remained quiet for a while. A blush was trying to creep up on his own cheeks. Finally he looked up and nodded.

You tried not to show your excitement as you walked over to him. Then you walked to Thor handing him your phone. "You don't mind taking the photo do you?"

"Not at all." He smiled.

You walked to Loki again and then you thought it was odd that a ring of light was underneath him.

"Brother, is that your doing?" Thor asked.

"No it's no- ahhh." You watched Loki fall through, and the light disappeared.

"Is he okay?" You looked to Thor frowning.

"Maybe?"

"Maybe?" You frowned.

Then you noticed another ring of light in the air. Thor also noticed.

"I'm sure he's there. Wherever that is. I must go."

You frowned looking to him. "Do you suppose I'll ever see you both again?"

He walked to you placing his hand on your shoulder. Then he gave you your phone, "I will see to it that we meet again. My brother won't admit it, but I believe he'd want to see you again not just to take a picture. He needs someone like you. I saw a glint in his eyes that I've not seen in a while. I promise we will find you once more..."

"Y/n l/n."

"You'll see Loki once again Lady y/n."

With that he went through the ring of light, and they both disappeared. You stood there frozen in place. Your mind raced at the fact that you had just talked to Loki and Thor. You really hoped they would return.

It had then been a month since you met them both. You had moved on with your life. Your New York vacation was over, and you went back to your big house in the country. Currently you were sitting on the couch looking out the window. You imagined Loki, and your thoughts were interrupted by knocking on the door. You walked to the door in your t-shirt and pj pants because you assumed it was just the mailman.

You opened the door and were shocked to see Loki. He looked different from the last time you saw him, and not better. He was dirty, his hair oily, he had wounds on his face, and he was in what you assumed was a combat suit.

"Oh Loki, are you okay?" You gently grabbed his hand and lead him in.

"No. No I'm not." His gaze was distant.

You decided to take him to the guest bedroom, and he stood looking around as you got a t-shirt and sweatpants. "These are my cousin's. He's always leaving stuff when he and his wife come to visit. These look about your size."

You then lead him to the bathroom. You ran him a hot bath, got towels, soap, and shampoo. "Why don't you take this bath, and then I can clean your wounds?"

He nodded. "Okay the towels are on that hook beside the tub, and there's the soap and shampoo." You replied pointing to everything.

You were about to leave when he spoke, "Will you at least sit outside at the door? I don't want to be alone, but I also don't want you in here. I want to respect us both."

You nodded shutting the door, and then you sat on the floor. It was quiet while he was taking his bath. The only sounds where when the water moved as he did and when he drained the tub.

He opened the door, and you looked up to see he looked nice in the t-shirt and sweatpants. Then you told him to sit on the bed as you got the first aid kit, a bath cloth, and water. You pulled up a chair and sat beside him.

You began to clean his face as you talked, "Do you wanna talk about whatever happened?"

He looked you in the eyes. His were very solemn. "I don't know if you'll like it."

"I'm here to listen. You'll probably feel better if you tell someone." You put down the cloth and opened the first aid kit. Then you got the antiseptic cream. You began to apply it to the cuts.

"Well I was tired of the life I was living. I don't mind Thor, but other than that, I wanted to escape. I then thought of you. I assumed you'd be able to help me live one of these normal human lives. You seem caring and sweet. You seem understanding, and I was hoping we could be friends. Well I was hoping you'd say yes so... I might have faked my death so I could be with you without having to constantly be pestered by Thor to help him with whatever matters he needed to fix." He embarrassingly frowned. "I know it was wrong to do to Thor, but I was selfish. I wanted to be right here with you."

You stopped applying the cream and looked deep into his eyes. He wasn't lying. A blush formed on your cheeks at the thought that he wanted to have a normal life with you possibly.

"I... I don't know what to say." You blushed.

"Say you'll take me in. I think... I think you've managed to bewitch me. I think I'm falling in love with you."

You looked in his eyes again and saw no lies again.

"Okay. I'll take you in." You blushed.

Loki genuinely smiled and took your hand placing a kiss on the top. "Thank you for taking me in, and thank you for dressing my wounds with your Earth medicine darling."

"You're welcome. Now how about we go to the living room and I can introduce you to the wonderful world of tv and movies."

He nodded and you both walked together hand in hand to the living room. You would discover that he absolutely loved the tv.
