Forgotten // Loki X OC pt.4

∆28∆

I breathed heavily, trying my hardest to catch my breath. It felt like I was suffocating and I began to cry. I stopped walking and leaned against the nearest door. My vision was blurred from tears and my mouth grew dry as I continued to fight for air. I couldn't speak or move. I could only sit and cry as I still couldn't breathe.

"Aidan are you alright?" Tony asked as he ran to me. He knelt down to my level, looking me over. "Oh God...Thor!"

I flinched as he called for Thor, careful not to touch me. I cried harder as Thor came into my view, looking down at me in concern. He knelt down as well and I looked away, still struggling to breathe.

"Aidan you have to breathe." Thor whispered, cautiously placing a hand on my own. I gripped it, closing my eyes. "You can do it, you're strong."

I nodded, leaning my head back against the door and breathing in through my nose and out of my mouth. My breath hitched and more tears rolled down my cheeks. I whimpered, blindly moving my hand up Thor's arm and pulling him towards me. Wrapping my arms around him, I tucked my head into the crook of Thor's neck and continued to calm myself.

"There you go." Thor spoke soflty, rubbing my lower back soothingly.

I sniffled, finally catching my breath properly. We sat in silence for a while before speaking.

"Are you alright?" Tony asked quietly. I looked to him and nodded. He was shaking, looking me over to make sure.

I frowned, reaching out to grasp his hand. "I'm okay, Tones."

Tony nodded. "Didn't know you had that too."

"Yeah." I sighed, looking up to Thor. He smiled, continuing to rub my back. "Thanks guys."

"Nothing to thank us for." Thor assured, slowly helping me stand on my feet. I felt dizzy, dehydrated. "Let's get you some water."

I nodded, allowing Thor to pick me up and carry me into the kitchen. He sat me at the island before pouring me a glass of water.

"So, what has you so anxious?" Thor asked as he took a seat next to me.

I shrugged, taking a sip of water. "Nothing."

"That's not nothing, that's something." Tony spoke, sitting across from Thor and myself. "If Loki were here you'd tell him, right?"

I nodded.

"Well I'm your best friend and Thor is your brother-in-law so you better start talking."

I sighed, rolling my eyes. "It's a mix of things I guess."

Tony and Thor said nothing as they waited for me to continue.

"Well for starters I'm getting married in a week, my daughter is in a relationship and I've never met the girl and I'm getting married in a week!"

"Why be nervous when you're marrying the man you love?" Thor smiled, rubbing my shoulder. "You've been together for a long time, you have a child together. What's getting married? You've been through more stressful things than this."

"You're right." I frowned, sipping the water again. "I guess this is something new to me. I've never reacted like this before though."

Tony reached out and grabbed my right hand in his own. "It's normal. You'd think super cool guy like me would be fine but I have the same thing. Real bad anxiety. Get panic attacks all the time."

"It sucks."

"Most definitely."

"I'm really tired now." I yawned, resting my head on Thor's arm. "But I still have to talk to Loki about the best man later. And I haven't decided how I want my hair. I need to get ahold of May to make sure she can come still. And Lama-

"I'm going to stop you right there." Tony interrupted. "May is coming and so is Lamar and Mj. I'll talk to Loki about the best man thing because you're not allowed to see him, remember?"

"Oh yeah."

"And as for your hair....well, I'll talk to Gamora about it."

"How's the baby?" I asked, closing my eyes tiredly.

"She's good. Adorable for a green bean." Tony chuckled. "Now as I was saying, I'll take care of everything and you get your rest and stop stressing."

"Let me help you upstairs." Thor spoke, carefully picking me up once more. "Get some sleep and you'll feel much better."

I nodded, laying my head on his shoulder. "Yeah...I'm really tired."

Stepping into the room, Thor laid me on the bed gently. "Sleep well, Aidan."

"Thank you, Thor."

∆Loki's P.O.V∆

"She what?" I asked, watching as Tony poured himself a cup of coffee.

"She had a panic attack this morning." Tony replied. "She's alright though. Just stressed about wedding stuff but I told her I would take care of it all."

"What was she worried about?"

"Whether May and Lamar are coming, which they are. And she was worried about who your best man is going to be. Gamora is talking to her about what she wants to do with her hair now."

"She's stressed because I haven't chosen a best man yet?"

Tony shrugged. "It was a biggie."

"Well you can tell her that I've chosen." I sighed, stepping towards Tony. I held out my hand to him with a smirk. "Will you be my best man?"

Tony stared at me in awe, placing his cup down on the counter. He smiled, shaking my hand with a nod.

"I guess I could fit it into my schedule."
