Guardians of my Heart (xReader)

Chapter 12

Loki.

I still haven't opened my eyes. Afraid I am just imagining his voice.

"Look at me." Someone whispers softly into my ear. It's definitely him.

I slowly look up. There he is. Breathing. Alive. He smiles weakly.

"You're alive." I manage to get out before I throw myself around his neck. I hide my head in his hair taking in his scent. I've missed that.

He tightly hugs me not letting go for a while until someone clears his throat.

"As heartwarming as this is..." Tony starts.

"What the actual fuck?! What the fuck happened?! Can someone fucking explain to me why the fuck you killed him and now you two won't stop fucking hugging each other?!" He is clearly upset.

"Language." Steve says and everyone gives him an annoyed look.

"Sorry..." Steve mumbles.

"I kinda did this to myself." Loki admits before I can even open my mouth to say something.

"What?! Why would you do this, brother?" Thor is shocked.

"I-" Loki obviously doesn't know how to explain. He doesn't want to admit his feelings for me in front of everyone.

"I just couldn't stand living in this cell anymore. It's not a life." He manages to come up with an actual pretty believable explanation.

"Well it's kinda your fault you're in here in the first place." Tony says.

Loki looks at the floor.

"I know and I am truly sorry."

"So y/n. What was that? How did you heal him and bring him back to life?" Tony changes the subject.

I just now realise that his wound is completely healed. Did I do this?

"I- I don't know. I've never done this before. I didn't even know I was capable of doing this." I admit.

"Well, kid. We better see what else you can do. You're only half human, right?"

"Um yeah. But I don't know who or what my mother was. My dad doesn't even know. Someone just dropped me off with a note saying I was his daughter."

"How does he not know who your mother is?" Tony asks shocked.

"Please, Tony. You'd know best how hard it is to remember every women you've ever had sex with." Loki jokes.

"I've never got one of them pregnant." He defends himself.

"You don't know for sure." Loki smirks.

"Ugh. Fine. Let's get out of here. Peter has been waiting for you. He's probably worried sick."

"Who's Peter?" Loki asks definitely looking hurt.

"My... friend." I whisper. I don't know if it's too soon to call him my boyfriend.

"Ha! Please. You two are definitely more than friends. Everyone knows and I'm pretty sure Loki doesn't care." Tony laughs. Little does he know...

"Yeah. I don't care." Loki says. More to himself than to everyone else.

We leave Loki alone in his cell. I don't want to but I know Peter has been waiting. He probably heard me scream and must think I'm hurt.

We go to the living room. Peter sits on the couch his head in his hands obviously worried. He jumps up when he sees me and looks relieved. I smile at him and he embraces me in a hug.
