Guardians of my Heart (xReader)

Chapter 20

We reach the tower and get inside and into the elevator.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Peter asks while holding my hand.

I shake my head.

"No. I don't think you being there would help him." I say and rest my head on his shoulder.

"Alright. Mr. Stark? I need to talk to you anyways."

Tony looks at him with a questioning look and I'm just as curious.

"About what?" I ask.

"Um- not that important." Peter mumbles as the elevator door opens and we get out.

I leave Tony and Peter alone to talk about whatever and go to see Loki. Let's see how bad his condition is.

Loki's sitting against the wall and staring at nothing. He doesn't even look up when I get into his cell and sit down next to him.

He really looks bad. He is dirty and thin. Dark circles under his eyes tell me he hasn't slept at all since I left for Decathlon.

I want to slap myself. Because I do care. About him. I thought I hated him. But I can't. I'm worried about him. Great...

"Hey Loki." I say softly but he doesn't react.

"We won Decathlon. I answered the last question correctly. It was about-" I stop talking when I realise he doesn't care.

I sigh.

"Look... I don't know how to help you if you're not even listening. It kinda seems like you don't even want my help..."

He moves his head slowly to look at me. His fingers shakily find their way to my hand and softly brush over it.

I close my eyes trying to shut the feelings out.

"I'll leave in a month." I whisper and he nods slowly.

I see the hurt in his eyes and feel bad for him. I hesitantly take his hand.

"I'm sorry." I mumble.

It's quiet until he finally says something.

"For what?" His voice is shaking. He's weak.

"For doing this to you. This is my fault. I shouldn't have kissed you. And I shouldn't have let you develop feelings. I'm sorry."

He weakly squeezes my hand.

"I'll get you something to eat okay? And then I'll help you take a bath." I get up and walk towards the kitchen where Peter and Tony are arguing.

"Please Mr. Stark. I know what I'm asking. And I thought abou-"

"No you haven't thought about it. What would her fath-" Tony immediately stops talking when he sees me.

"What's going on?" I ask while grabbing some leftover food from the fridge and putting it into the microwave.

"Nothing." Peter says quickly and I notice he's definitely lying.

"Yeah right." I mumble and wait for the food to heat up.

"How's Loki?" Tony asks changing the subject.

"Okay. I guess."

Once the food is done I go back to Loki. As soon as I'm out of the kitchen Tony and Peter start talking again. What would they keep from me?

Loki is still sitting in the position I left him in. I kneel down in front of him and start feeding him the food.

He doesn't look too happy about me feeding him but he's too weak to do it on his own.
