Not Good Enough - L.O

Melody's POV

Loki took me to Asgard to meet his parents. At first I was extremely excited. But then, I got really nervous.

Yes, I am Asgardian. But I ran away when I was 17 to midgaurd. I landed in the 40s. After a long time Loki found me and my secret.

"What if his parents hate me?" I mumble loudly to myself, pacing back and forth in my bedroom.

"They won't. I promise." Loki's voice startled me so I jumped and spun around. I saw him leaning against the door with a wicked smile. I sigh and hug him. He returns it. "They'll love you, I know it." He assures me. I nod into his torso.

At the bifrost

We had just exited the bifrost hand in hand. Thor and Jane came with us. Heimdall greeted us. Loki led me down the rainbow Bridge towards the castle.

On our way, I gazed in delight at the beautiful architecture. I forgot how beautiful it was. "My gods." I breathe. I heard Loki chuckle.

"Why did you leave in the first place?" Loki asked. This question scared me. He never asked about my past knowing how sensitive I was. I guess he just forgot in the moment.

"It's a long story-"

"Oh I'm so sorry I forgot." He exclaimed, feeling bad know. I squeezed his hand in reassurance.

"It's okay Loki, I'll tell you one day, I promise." I say. He nods.

In the throne room

We had just entered the throne room with Thor and Jane in front of us. I could see Odin and frigga in their rightful throne.

"My sons! How nice of you to visit us again!" Odin exclaimed happily. We all smiled. Jane and Thor moved aside to reveal me and Loki side by side.

"Father, this is my partner, Melody." Loki introduced me. I let go of his hand to bow down to the all father.

"Thank you you highness for allowing me into your home." I say, trying to choose my words carefully. I'm so glad my accent has stayed with me this whole time. Odin and frigga nodded at me.

"Your welcome, my child." Odin said. Frigga stood up from her seat and came down to get a closer look at me.

She scanned me up and down. All with a smile on her face. I was slightly tense. Did she not like what she sees? She gracefully took both of my hands into hers. "I can already sense you will be a great partner for my son." She concludes. I nod gratefully.

"Thank you mother, for your acceptance." Loki says, putting a hand on my lower back.

"Are you Asgardian, dear?" Odin asks. I nod.

In their bedroom

A guard showed us to the room we were staying in. Loki's old room. According to him, it was still exactly like he left it. I nervously sit on the bed and look down in deep thought. Did frigga really like me or was she just acting? I mean she was the nicest person of the nine realms. She could've easily lied right to my face. And odin did he- My thoughts were cut short but Loki's sweet voice filling my ears. "Love, are you alright?"

I looked up at him and nodded. He face was laced with worry and concern. He studied me for a few second before shaking his head slightly and sitting down next to me. He grabbed both of my hands. "No, you are not alright. You have been acting off ever since yesterday. Tell me dear, whats wrong?" He asked calmly. I couldn't tell him. He would just say I'm too paranoid. I hesitate first.

"I-I'm just n-nervous." I stutter. Great job sounding convincing. Loki cracks a smile that soon fades.

"Love, I'm the god of lies. You can't lie to me." He states. Dammit, he's right. "I have seen you nervous before, but never this nervous." He explained. I sigh. I guess its time to tell him.

"I guess its time to tell you about my past," I mumble. He nods, encouraging me to go on, "My whole life I have lived in hell. My parents hated me, always putting me down. And very past lover I was with, their parents didn't like me for some reason that I could never put my finger on. I guess I just wasn't good enough for anyone. It started when I was 10, my parents hitting me. I had this one partner, his name was Amos. He was abusive towards me. He also mentally abused me. Made me think that I needed him to stay alive. I ran away while I was in that relationship. I ran to the bifrost just to see heimdall there. I begged him to banish me to midgaurd. I even tried to pay him. But he saw the pain I was in and let me go for free." I explain, tears running down my pale cheeks.

Loki tenderly wrapped me in a hug as I sobbed into his chest. Never in my entire life have I talked about my past. Loki rubbed my back letting me cry. He doesn't need me. I pull back wiping my eyes one last time. "Loki, you don't need me. I have too many problems that you have to deal with." I way. Loki shook his head and put my head in his hands.

"No," he said sternly. This made me look into his beautiful steel blue eyes, "I love you so much. I love everything about you. Even your flaws. I'm not letting you go just because of your past, like what you're doing for me. I can help you through this, I promise. No matter what happens, I will always love you. You are good enough." He explains. Next, he pecks my lips. I slightly smile for second. "Now, I've been waiting to show you the garden ever since I planned this trip." He explains, pulling us up to our feet. I giggle.

At The Gardens

Loki started to explain every type of flower in the garden. I listened intently because I was really intrigued. I would sometimes ask a question and Loki answered happily.

Frigga's POV

I watched out the large window to see my youngest son and his partner out in the gardens. Loki was explaining everything to her. Melody listened, interested. "Do you like her?" I ask Odin behind me, not releasing my gaze on the happy couple.

"Yes. I think she is a good fit for him. I am relieved she is asgardian." He answered. I snapped my body towards him.

"It doesn't matter what she is, if she makes Loki happy, I'm happy." I say smiling to myself. It soon dropped once I remembered what I felt. Odin noticed my frown.

"What's wrong my dear?" He asked, walking over to me. I sigh before answering.

"When I held her hands, I felt a strong aura of sadness and fear in her. Not like a common sadness, more like depression." I explain, concentrating on what I remembered. Odin gulped. "I felt like as if she has had a troubled past." I add.

"She also thinks shes not good enough for Loki." A new voice pitches in. Thor. He walks into the room with his ax. I look up at him in surprise.

"What?" I said breathlessly. Thor nods.

"Jane tells me that she often comes to her with the fear that loki will leave her for 'someone better'" Thor explains, putting air quotes around 'someone better'. I gasp. I turn back to the window to see the couple still there. They were now sitting st the fountain talking. Melody kept messing with her hands and nodded her head a lot. She seemed as if she was scared to say or do something wrong. I slightly frown. Poor girl, she must be so scared.
