Let Me In [LOKI LAUFEYSON]

——————————————

I was sat in Loki's old chambers as mine were damaged and in the process of being repaired from the attack from the Dark Elves. Frigga , Queen of Asgard, the closest thing i'd had to a mother figure was dead. I was shaken to the core, hence me sitting on his bed, staring at the wall blankly. I missed Loki dearly, my visits being limited by Odin because he didn't fully trust that i wouldn't help him escape.  I was getting ready to visit him later on today, after the funeral. I had tried my best, pleading to them to let him attend, but Odin was having absolutely none of it and Thor was just angry and consumed in his grief. I sighed as i climbed off the bed and made my way down to where Thor and Jane were waiting to accompany me to the funeral.

"please if you even just let him see using a projection of himself or something!" i pleaded with Thor. "father said no, meaning it's a no" he said bluntly and i shook my head. "he loved her just as much as you did" i said and he turned to look at me. "it's his own fault for being in there" he replied and i shook my head. "you're meant to be brothers!" i snapped rather loudly. "he stopped being my brother when he attacked and killed the people on Midguard!" Thor shouted back at me. I looked up at him in shock as i took a step backwards as Jane placed her hand on his arm to try and calm him down. "the service is starting" one of the guards came into the hall and we all nodded, following him shortly afterwards. "this is wrong" i muttered and Jane looked at me softly before turning her attention back to Thor.

The service was beautiful, everyone came out to witness her go into the stars. I tried to hide my sadness out of respect for Thor and Odin who were in an incredible amount of pain. I scuttled off earlier than i expected from the service. My heart had broken. She was an incredibly brave women and now i was left by myself to try and achieve Loki's redemption.

I sighed as i walked down towards the prison cells. As i walked past the guards, they looked down at me oddly. "what are you looking at?" i snapped at one of them. "why do you waste your time down here?" he asked and i frowned at him. "i believe voicing your opinion on things that are none of your concern is above your pay grade" i snapped at him. "how long have you been working here?" i asked him. He remained standing tall, looking straight ahead. "8 years" he replied and i smiled smugly at him. "best start job searching" i said before walking past him and towards Loki's cell.

"hey" i said as i stood in front of the barrier. I looked at Loki sadly as he sat in his chair reading. I wasn't expecting to see him appear so calm but then again, i knew it was just one of his many facades. "what brings you down here?" he asked coldly and i rolled my eyes. "i thought you might like some company, funnily enough i know what you're going through" i said softly as i sat down on the steps leading to the screen between us. "i'd prefer to be alone" he said, flipping the page of his book. I scoffed and shook my head. "come on, you don't need to lie to me Loki" i said to him and for the first time he took his eyes off his book. He was contemplating opening up to me. We used to be so open, we never had secrets, and even if we did they weren't kept for very long. Ever since Odin had placed him in this prison, he'd closed himself off. "i'm not lying, she wasn't my real mother" he said and i sighted, frustrated. "don't pull that bullshit answer. You loved her, as did i" i said and he chuckled. "so that's why you're here. You do not wish to comfort me but you wish to seek comfort for yourself" He said and i shook my head "that's not what-" he cut me off as he stood up and stared at me. "what do you wish to happen? that i spill all my emotions out and you come and comfort me like a child. Too bad Y/N because you can't get in and i don't wish you too" he said coldly. I saw the hurt he was pushing down in his eyes and i shook my head. Tears brewed in my eyes but i bit my lip to forbid them from falling. "bastard" i mumbled and he chuckled. "so i've been told" he replied back smirking. "you think that's all it takes to push me away? you've been down here for months and yet i'm still here" I replied angrily. He was throwing everything back in my face, just as i knew he would. Yet i still persisted. "why don't you go back upstairs then, run along back to Thor and Jane and pretend that everything's all alright. Go and comfort my brother because i'm sure he's distraught" He said with venom in his voice and i let out a frustrated sigh as i ran my hand through my hair. "i mean why do you think i'm still here on Asgard" i said and he looked at me. His face fell as realisation sunk in. "trust me, i have plenty of people who object to me staying here, funnily enough including Odin. The only reason i'm still here is because i insist. Thor is allowing me to stay for another month . . . after that he's taking me back to Earth. Back to the people you almost killed" i said and he took a step backwards. "you're foolish if you think you're going to convince Odin to let me out of here" he said and i chuckled. "i know that's not going to happen, i've accepted that. I just want you to know you've still got one friend left" i said sadly to him as he shook his head at me. "yet as you so politely pointed out, i tried to take over your home planet, i could've killed your friends if i really wanted too. I almost killed your beloved Captain America. He's ridiculously righteous-" i interrupted him. "will you just stop for one minute. I'm trying my hardest to reach out to you. I knew it would've be easy but i never realise you'd build your walls so high to realise the only reason i'm still on this god damn planet putting up with these annoyingly nice people is because of you. You are the reason i'm here. You're the only thing keeping me here Loki" i said softly, calming down after i'd raised my voice at him. I placed my hand against the shining golden barrier and he sighed. He looked down at where my hand and held his up. Before he could realise what was happening, i'd throw a small circular device at the wall, it stuck to it and disabled the wall temporarily. "it'll only last a few minutes" i said softly as he looked down at me. His glare was intense and i could feel myself crumbling underneath it. His body towered over mine as he stepped closer to where the barrier used to be. I'd forgotten how much taller than me he was. I looked up at him as it seemed he was studying me. Watching my every move but also having some sort of internal battle with himself. His hands intertwined with mine, i glanced over to our hands only for him to place his hand on my cheek. He turned my head back towards him before leaning down and leaving a soft, gentle kiss on my lips. He pulled back rather quickly to study my facial expressions and when i finally got my head around what had happened, i wrapped my hand around the back of his neck and pulled him back down towards me as i stood on my tip toes. The kiss grew more and more intimate and intoxicating, both of us craving each others touch. I pulled away breathlessly as he rested his forehead against mine. "thank you Y/N" he mumbled quietly and i smiled at him as i stroked his cheek softly. I sighed before stepping back behind the line just in time as the forcefield barrier came back up. I was saddened i couldn't hold him again, but i was more than grateful for what had just happened. "i'll see you tomorrow" i said happily as i walked off. "i'm already counting down" he said and i chuckled, walking out of the prison and back towards the palace and my room. A permanent smile was spread across my face for the whole evening. I'd finally gotten over his incredibly tall wall he'd build.
