Guardian Angel

Part 8

The next morning Loki wakes you with coffee. ''Morning babe,'' he smiles. You wake up slowly smiling at him. ''Hey.'' Loki sits down next to you and runs his hand through your hair.

''Slept well?'' ''Yeah,'' you reply in a husky voice, ''better than usual. Maybe we should share a bed more often.'' He smiles and chuckles a little. ''I wouldn't mind if we did,'' Loki smiles sending butterflies to your stomach. You sit up a little and take your coffee.

''About yesterday,'' Loki suddenly start as you sip your drink. ''Oh... yeah. Sorry I acted so weird.'' ''No,'' Loki stops you, ''you did not or I did not notice it. I am talking about the almost kissing.''

You look down not knowing what to say. Why did he do that anyway? He does not like you like that way... You don't know how to respond so you decide not to say anything and let him do the talking.

''I should never have done that,'' he speaks in a serious tone, ''I was lost in the moment and lust. I could not resist a pretty virgin like you.'' You frown deeply. ''What is that supposed to mean?''

Suddenly you realise something. He calls you that- next to babe- all the time! Pretty virgin, dumb virgin, fucking virgin, damn virgin! Like it is part of your identity. You never had sex before, so what? It does not define you.

Loki looks surprised by your outburst. ''What does me being a virgin have to do with that? Were you planning on going further than this? Because if that is the case forget it!'' He looks shocked at you. You never spoke to him this way.

When he wants to open his mouth you stop him. ''You know what, forget me. I think it is time for you to go. When I'm back I want you out of here.'' He just stares at you in disbelieve.

''Please don't,'' he begs with large eyes, ''let me explain.'' ''No.'' You turn around and walk out of the flat. You need to talk to Fury.

When you are halfway someone suddenly grabs your arm. You turn around ready to tell Loki-or rather a vision of Loki- off but find Thor. ''What happened,'' he asks you kindly. ''I'm done with him. He sees me as nothing but an object!''

Thor sighs deeply still holding on to your arm. ''Please do not make a decision in a moment like this. Speak to me and reevaluate.'' You agree with him and let him walk you to a quiet and small room.

He lets you tell him everything without interrupting you even once only humming every now and then to let you know he is still listening. When you are done you're so worked up tears are rolling down your eyes.

Thor lays his hand on yours and looks at you calmly. ''I understand that you feel this way but you should have let him explain my dear Y/N. Where he and I are from virgins have a great worth and value. They are to be savoured and kept safe. That he calls you that means he sees you as a woman of worth, wit and status. Only the best and purest woman are worth such a title to him.'' You pull up your brows.

Sure, that must be the explanation he wanted to give you. Feel the sarcasm. ''So when he calls me fucking virgin I should take it as a compliment.'' Thor chuckles. ''He might toy with you a little but don't take it as an insult. Ask him about it and he will explain. Just know that it is not what you think it is when he calls you that.'' You look down biting your lip as you start to doubt.

Maybe Thor is right? Maybe you should have let him explain. ''I will take him as you asked me so you will have time to think. When the two days have passed you can decide if you want to take him back.'' You smile at him.

''Thank you...'' Thor smiles and gets up. ''Don't tell him that there is a chance I take him back, I don't want him to get his hopes up.'' Thor promises to stay silent as long as you want him to. He gets up and goes to take his brother.
