Loki x Reader One-Shot Compilation

Like It's Your Last

Summary: Asgard is decimated and you find yourself en route to Earth on a ship populated with the remaining Asgardians. While on the ship, your long-awaited reunion with Loki rips at the seams.

----

Hoards of panicked Asgardians stood huddled together. Mothers hugged children, friends comforted friends, and people unknown to one another offered support as Asgard shattered like a mirror struck by lightning.

Numb, you turned your focus from your obliterated home to Thor, sitting in the captain's chair.

A rock-like man and a woman you didn't recognized flanked him. Scanning the room to avoid looking at the now dark void that once housed your home, the only place you'd ever know or ever intended to know, you memorized the pained expressions, the tears of anguish, and the uncertainty in each individual's eyes.

Though your desires were no longer of consequence; the betterment and continuation of your people were all that mattered.

You stood a few rows from the front of the ship. With a racking breath, you looked back to the front of the ship. Loki materialized in the few moments you looked away. You mouthed his name as your shoulders suck at the site of him. As if he heard your silent plea, Loki turned as quick as a whip, catching your gaze. The recognition spark as rapidly as it disappeared.

Incapable of looking away, your mouth fell open in awe. Loki mouthed your name in return and flicked his head so slightly, you were unsure it wasn't a trick of the light.

The crowd began to disperse, crushed by the sight of emptiness before them. Loki moved as the crowd did, slipping through a door flanking the captain's chair. With a quick bounce on your toes to confirm where he'd gone, you shoved against the wave of Asgardians rushing to discover a place to rest.

"Sorry," You tumbled over someone's shoes and they looked to you, too exhausted to retaliate.

As you reached the front of the ship, the woman you didn't recognize turn on you.

"Hold on there," She held up an arm. The golden hue of her cloak shimmered as it waved in the reprocessed air of the ship. She looked angelic. "What do you think you're doing?"

Thor hurriedly stood at the sound of the woman's voice, spinning to face the disturbance.

"Hello," The rock-man waved, holding a slug squirming at his side. "Sorry about your home being blown up and all that."

"Thanks," You waved in return, eyebrows shrinking down in focus. The stiff posture of the woman before you made you wary of attempting to get past her with force. She looked at you carefully, assessing you like she could break your spine with a single glance.

"Y/N?" Thor rushed to you, scooping you up in a hug that expelled the breath from your lungs. "I'm so pleased to see you."

He had cut his hair since you saw him last. An odd pattern, similar to that of a lightning strike coursed across the side of this head. The new look aged him and made him regal in a way he wasn't before.

"Oh," The woman crossed her arms. "You know her?"

Years had passed without seeing Thor or Loki and their sudden return flooded you with long forgotten memories. It hit your chest like a rock from the sky, knocking your breath away at the sudden recollection of brighter days.

"Thor," Your voice crackled. "It's good to see you too."

He spun you in the air and dropped you on the upper platform beside the chair. Patting your shoulder, he craned his neck searching for something.
