A Whole Bunch of Loki's

Alpha and Omega - Part Two - Request by SweetCheeseCake879

The few hours alone were agonising, but you wanted to give Loki time to calm down a little before you attempted to approach and apologise to him.

You spent this time mostly sat in the main hall, finding anything you could do to whittle time away, whether it be talking to the people coming and going from the hall or something more recreational or creative.

None of it helped distract you or stop your mind from drifting towards thoughts of what happened earlier that day, but it was an attempt nonetheless.

It was just turning dark when you finally decided to bite the proverbial blade and make your way to his room to apologise, even if one part of you was loudly screaming with how it would break your pride to do so.

Truthfully, you didn't feel that you had done anything wrong, but it had upset Loki so that was enough to make you push past the scream of your alpha instincts.

As you stepped up to his large bedroom door, you could practically smell the sorrow seeping from him through the wood and your heart panged to know that you had wounded his ego.

Taking a deep breath, you rapped your knuckles against the door which provided a daunting low thud that seemed to echo in the otherwise silent corridor.

"Loki?" You called out, the sound coming out a little weaker than you had intended.

As expected, you heard no sound from the other side, hinting that he was seriously moping.

"Loki, can I come in so we can talk?"

When there was still nothing but silence you let out a long and aggravated sigh, feeling a tick in your jaw.

"Alright, I am coming in, like it or not."

You weren't sure if you were surprised or not by the fact that the door handle turned with no resistance.

Part of you wondered if Loki merely hadn't locked it while the other wondered if maybe he had hoped that you would come along and he had left it open purposefully, whichever it turned out to be, you were thankful either way.

Stepping inside you made sure to close the door behind yourself, ensuring that the conversation you were going to have stayed as private as possible to save from wounding his already fragile pride that little bit further.

Loki was where you suspected him to be, sat in the furthest corner of his room near the glass doors that led out to his balcony with a book in his lap, though judging by his blank stare he didn't appear to actually be reading.

He didn't look up as you neared, but you knew that you had his full attention.

Sitting down beside him, you made sure that you were partially turned towards him so you could, in all essence, stare him down.

"That was very rude," you said calmly, your hands resting in your lap.

"I know," he mumbled back, seeming as if he was trying not to cower like a child being scolded which you guessed was part of his omega instinct, "I apologise."

You both continued to stare unblinkingly, you at him and him at his book, the silence building before you let out a long sigh and rubbed the back of your neck.

"Please don't be like that, I should be the one saying sorry."

This caught his attention and he finally lifted his head to look at you, his expression one that shattered your heart.

"No you don't, I was the o-"

"Loki, please," you sighed, shaking your head, "I shouldn't have stepped on your toes earlier, you could more than likely handle yourself, I just got so mad seeing them ganging up on you."

Even as you were talking about it, the memory of their jeers, taunts and hits began to boil your blood again.

"I can safely say that I noticed, I've never seen you that riled up before."

"I haven't felt that riled up," you frowned and hung your head a little, your eyes now focusing on your hands as your fingers twiddled together in your lap. "I just couldn't bear the thought of them hurting you."

It was Loki's turn to sigh as he closed his book and set it to one side, you didn't see but you felt him shift closer to you and one of his strong arms wrapped around your shoulders, pulling you down so that your head rested against his chest.

There was something unfamiliar about him in that moment, but one that seemed to instantly bring you into a sense of calm that you never wanted to leave.

You slowly let your eyes fall closed as you let yourself be engulfed by the unusual warmth coming from him, one of your hands clasping onto his thigh.

"Can I make it up to you somehow?"

"There's no need," he answered quietly, "you were only acting on instinct, I'm sorry for snapping at you."

"Please don't, I get why you did, I overstepped my mark, even as an alpha."

"There is that, why did you need to step in? You're usually so calm about everything."

"I know and normally I'd be able to ignore it but..."

You pouted a little as you trailed off, almost not wanting to finish your sentence.

"But what?" Loki pushed, adjusting you both a little so that you were pulled a little further into his lap.

"But," you bit your lip a little, nibbling on it before groaning, "but it was you and I didn't like it."

"I thought as much," he chuckled.

You whined and buried your face into the leather of his robe, the noise being muffled by the fabric.

"Then why did you make me say it?"

"Think of it this way, I, an omega, have you, an alpha, at my very whim right now," you could practically hear the smirk in his voice, "usually the positions are switched and I am simply relishing that an alpha came to me."

"I hate you," you muffled before lifting your eyes up to look up at him.

"Genuinely, or hate that you clearly want an omega to dominate you?"

You flushed red and went back to hiding your face, your fingers grasping tightly at his clothes.

"Come now, don't hide from me," he smiled, stroking your hair, "I say that it's perhaps time we had this conversation."

"What conversation?"

"The one that leads to us finally claiming each other."

Your breath hitched a little and you almost sputtered on air at his words, to be sure that he was being honest and wasn't playing around with you, you pulled away from him and stared long and hard into his face.

Seeing no hint of a lie, in fact he had a rare smile of sincerity, you grinned and hugged him tightly, resting your head against his chest once again.

"I would be more than happy to have that talk with you."

"Good, after the years of build-up I was hoping you'd say that."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, I was hoping there'd come a day where I'd see an alpha begging for an omega kn-"

You rolled your eyes and gave his arm a half-hearted whack with the back of your hand.

"Shut up, Loki."
