**trigger warnings**
You hurriedly got off from work and walked out sighing as you took long strides towards home. You took out your phone and checked...
No missed calls or even texts from someone you were expecting from.
You dialled his number again... only to hear it ringing and going on voicemail.
You sighed again after taking the phone away from your ear and looking at it thoughtfully..
Why are you not answering my calls. Where are you?, you thought.
Is he unwell or something? He should be at his apartment, you wondered as you stopped walking towards your building and changed your tracks towards his apartment.
If he is home, then you can spend some time together atleast.
___________
You rang the doorbell for the fifth time and stood there not knowing what to do. You called Thor and he said Loki must be in his apartment as they already just returned from a mission and he always prefers being alone...
You thought of waiting for him if he was out for some work since you took off from work early.
As you were about to sit near the stairs, you heared the door open slightly...
You rushed back towards the door,
"Hey", was all you said, hoping Loki would explain the reason, why was he unavailable all these days.
Instead he just looked at you with unreadable expressions.
"Are you alright? "
He raised an eyebrow,
"Did you come here to ask me this?"
His reply shocked you a little but you tried talking normally,
"No.. I took off early from work today so I thought of spending time with you a little.. "
He opened the door a little wider and proceeded inside, taking a chair for himself
"I would appreciate if you could ask before coming"
You looked at him stunned,
"Er.. I called you many times but you didnt answer.."
You unintentionally held you phone up for him to see...
"And I didn't know I had to take an appointment to see you", you rolled your eyes as you took a seat on the sofa.
You didnt know why was he behaving so coldly towards you. You tried remembering anything which you would have done to upset him in the past but you couldn't. Maybe he wasn't in a good mood because of something or someone else.
He kept a hand over his temples and sighed,
"I am not in a better mood right now and I want you to just leave me alone.", he said in a serious tone.
"Is that why you weren't picking up the phone?"
You paused a little, waiting for a reply for him, but he didn't say anything,
"Would you like to talk about what's bothering you, Loki?", you said calmly. You knew he never really liked talking about things which bothered him. He always shuts himself off from everyone whenever he feels overwhelmed. But that was just not healthy, you thought as you tried to make him talk about whatever was on his mind, bothering him.
"I already said I dont want to talk. What are you? A mere foolish mortal trying to be intelligent and sympathetic towards me. Does it make you feel superior, offering me help? ", he said in an infuriated tone..
You tried to argue with him when he cut you off and said in an amused tone, narrowing his eyes..
"Do you really think that you are close to me just because I talked to you a little bit? I even talk to my servants a little bit out of pity.. ", he shrugged nonchalantly...
Your eyes filled with rage and freshly formed tears,
"Then what am I to you? I am certainly not your servant.."
He raised his eyebrows as he said,
"Yes you are right. You are not my servant. Infact, you are nothing."
He looked at your shocked face, and pretended to be more shocked ...
"You are truly delusional to think that I have feelings for you"
He shook his head from side to side mockingly,
"Guess its YOU who needs help..."
You looked at him with hurt expression and more tears threatened to spill from your eyes..
"Ohhh...", he said mockingly, "Did I make you cry?"
