Why Me (Avengers Soulmates AU)

Uncle Loki

A/N: Short chapter because why not.

Today I woke up at four in morning. Its not the earliest I have woken up.

I went into the kitchen for a cup of water and laid down on one of the couches. I was thinking of the nightmare I had. All my nightmares haves the same format. My anxiety was kicking in, but I know everyone is okay. I can't go to mom and dad, I wont go to mom and dad.

I don't want to disturb them. Mom just got back from a last minute meeting about two hours ago, and dad barely ever wants to sleep. I cant bother them with these childish things.

"Do you really think like that?" I jumped off the couch and turned to the voice.

"Uncle Loki. What are you doing here?" How come my senses didn't tell me there was someone else in the room.

"Well, as for your first question, You asked me to come and visit. As for the second, I just got here so you wouldn't have noticed."

I hugged him and we went back to sitting down. Well he was sitting, I was laying with my head on his lap.

"Now child, what were you talking about before?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean about sleeping and your parents. Say it out loud."

"I said, I don't want to bother mom and dad about my sleeping problems, when they sleep less then me."

"Would you want to talk to me about them?"

"No, its okay, there is no need."

"Tell me now, that is an order." Why are people always forcing me to talk about my feelings. Cant they just let me be in pain by myself.

"Fine. Sometimes I have nightmares. They usually go the same way. Either seeing my mama's dead body or papa leaving with some lady. Being rejected by any family I have left. Then watching as my old and new family die one by one."

I looked up to see uncle Loki with a thinking face on. It's hard to tell the difference between his faces, but I've known him long enough and good enough to tell.

"I have an idea. But, you need to go to sleep."

"Okay, I trust you uncle Loki." I close my eyes and relax. I am always tired, just forcing myself up.

"Oh and thank you." I open my eyes for a second and see him smiling.

"Listen, this may only help for a few days, but I can always do it again. And Peter, don't ever think you are bothering your parents. When you don't tell them what's wrong, your only making them worry."

I feel myself go deep into sleep. I didn't have any bad dreams, or good dreams, it was blank.

I woke up in my bed again. "FRIDAY, what time is it?"

"It is 3:48 pm." What? I've been asleep for so long.

After washing up I went out onto the roof. Not even three seconds later, uncle Loki appears.

"How are you feeling?"

"Better, thank you."

"No problem."

"Loki? How come you came later then uncle Thor?"

"The big idiot that calls me 'brother', left a huge mess for me to clean up. He always gets into fights, and leaves for someone else to clean it up."

"Yeah. But you still love him."

"Maybe, but don't tell him I said that."

We both laugh and I spent the rest of the day with uncle Loki. We spent the rest of the day catching him up on my life drama and messing with the others. After we got Clint, he joined in on the fun. Though it took him a while to get used to Loki.

Uncle Loki may have started out as a bad guy, but he is one of the biggest softies I know.
