Loki x Michael

***FLUFF CHAPTER***

I cover my mouth and look back to Thor who stood in front of me. He had come to tell me the news that his brother Loki, my former lover, is in fact still alive

"Take me home."

I stand from the table I'm at and walk with Thor out of the building. He almost couldn't keep up with me. Anger and fear was pushing my body forward. A moment later, a beam of light is surrounding us and I'm flying through space at a dangerous speed

We step out of the bifrost, I'm expecting to see Heimdall but to my surprise, no one was there at all. I give Thor a questioning look but my mind is elsewhere. My heart feels heavy with sorrow, I haven't been home since I received the news of Loki's death. I didn't want to be reminded of him everywhere I went. I look down the bridge at the city. At home

"Shall we?" Thor asks, swinging his hammer and picking up speed

After a moment of scanning the horizon, I nod. Raising my hand, I lifted off the ground and flew down the bridge towards the palace. Thor led the way, flying through all of Asgard before landing in a new area I haven't seen before. A crowd was formed around a small play. I gently set myself down and looked around at everyone. A few looked at me with awe but most of them were too busy watching the play. I look to see what it was and instantly regret it

It was the story of Loki's death. The acting was executed very well but I couldn't focus on it. My insides felt like a thousand pound weight. Thankfully the play got interrupted. I turned around to find Thor holding Odins head in one hand and his body with the other

Mjolnir was flying back from half the city away at Odins face. My heart froze. Is Thor about to kill his own father in front of everyone? Odin stepped forward and out of the way of Mjolnir rather quickly and frantically. But it wasn't Odin anymore

It was Loki

My blood ran cold as my jaw dropped in astonishment

My shocked system quickly became full of rage and I couldn't stop what was next. I summoned every metal in the ground out, trapping his feet and I clenched my fists. Any metal he was wearing constricted around him. He gasped and looked up at me. The moment our eyes locked, all sense of fear left him and was replaced with sadness and regret

"You-" I grab the collar of his outfit. Before I could continue anything, we're both shimmering and suddenly we're in his bedroom. I used to love this room and it's memories

"Michael, I know you're upset but-"

"No, you don't get to talk. You- you faked your death! You lied and hid away like a coward Loki. You left me!" My voice rises with anger. I clench my fists as I step towards him. He raises his hands in defeat, looking at me with sorrow

"I know.. I know what I did was horrible. But please listen-"

"Why the hell should I listen to you?! All you do is lie! How do I know anything between us before was even real? Or that you-"

"Everything I felt for you was the most real thing in my life.." He locks his eyes with mine. His words poked at my heart, scratching the barrier I've sealed around it since his death

"Smooth talking won't work this time Loki." I glare at him

"May I explain myself?" He lowers his hands. I sigh angrily but nod for him to continue

This better be good

"Where to start really.. I used to work for a man named Thanos. If you call what I did work. He wanted me to help him destroy half the universe with the promise I'd be a king and free. With the one I loved the most." He steps closer to me. I slowly unclench my fists as I absorb his story

"I soon found out that his promises were empty. He'd kill me along with everyone I care about if I failed or succeeded. So I decided to fake my own death to escape him and his army. To protect myself. And you.." He trailed off as he now stood mere inches from me. He gently reached out and cupped my face in his hand

"I needed everyone to believe me dead so that he would believe it too. I know not telling you was the wrong decision.. to let you suffer the way you did.. and I will regret hurting you till the end of my days."

His story, his words, pierced my protective shell. He did all this to protect us. Or did he? This could all be a lie like everything else but from the look in his electric eyes and tone of his velvet voice, I felt it was the truth

"Thanos? As in the guy who convinced you to attack Midguard? I thought you left him long ago?" I furrow my brows. He let out a short sigh

"I tried but he threatened to.. to kill you if I didn't cooperate.." his eyes held sadness and despair

I reached out and placed my hand on his that still held my cheek. His skin was softer than the finest silks and as cool as ice. I missed the feel of him. His scent. His power. Him

"I'm still extremely angry at you.." I breathe out as he slowly starts to lean in, bringing our faces closer

"I will spend the rest of eternity making it up to you my love," he pressed his forehead to mine

"Loki I-" his lips grazed mine like a feather, quick and light. He was asking permission. As much as I never wanted to see him again, as angry as I was, I missed him and could never hate him. Our souls are bonded for life

When I didn't pull away from him, he took that as a sign to kiss me fully. I melted into him as he wrapped his free arm around my waist, pulling me to him so our bodies were pressed together firmly. I tangled my free hand in his long silky hair, missing everything about him. Tears formed in my eyes as our kisses became more passionate

"I missed you.. so much.." I breathe out a moment later, pulling away from his addictive lips. My voice cracked as tears streamed down my face. It looked like his heart was shattering at the sight of me

"I know darling, I've missed you too. I'm so sorry.." He holds me against him as I cry

"I love you Loki. Though I shouldn't, I do." I look at him. The corners of his lips curl the slightest

He leans in and presses his lips to mine once more. I could feel every emotion he was forcing into this kiss. Sorrow, love, desire, regret

"I swear on Thor's life I will never betray you, hurt you, or leave you again my darling," he holds me tight, staring into my eyes. The protective barrier I had around my heart shattered as I allowed him back in. I was terrified but I couldn't live without him

Loki hugs me to his chest. I breathe in his aroma. It was the one thing in all the realms that would calm me. We held each other for a while, absorbing one another's presence. It's been three years, let me hold the man I love in peace. We finally pulled apart when Thor knocked on the door, slightly opening it

"Loki, we need to find father. We need to go now." Thor looked between the two of us

"He comes with," Loki grabbed my hand. "Or I won't go." His eyes are soft. Thor starts to argue but realizes he won't win against us

"I will not part from you again dove," he grips my hand as we all walk down the corridor

I smile to myself, a real smile I haven't shown in three years. Hopefully this time will be better.
