The Fallen Prince (LOKI X READER)

The guy in the hoody (part 2)

It was late in the evening. Loki had entered your house and been his sarcastic self but you could tell that he was happy to finally have a proper place to stay. You had shown him how to use the shower and he had ridiculed it like he had everything else but he had been in the shower for over an hour now.

You were sitting at the table correcting your students' homework waiting for Loki to come out so you both could have dinner. You contemplated teasing Loki about his long shower..

Meanwhile in the shower...

This place is beautiful. And so is (y/n). But she is so much more than that. She is funny and witty and fearless. I enjoyed talking to her. It's been so long since I have been treated like a proper person instead of trash on the roadside. If only they knew who I really was, they would run for their lives. But (y/n) knows...and she isn't running! I do not understand what she hopes to gain from me. Why would such a respectable woman harbour a criminal like me? But until I figure that out, it wouldn't be of any harm for me to have a little fun. I need to keep myself entertained in this boring midguardian town.

Finally the bathroom door unlocked and out came a fresh and glistening Loki. He was wearing the loose pyjamas you had lent him. He had flung his t shirt over his shoulder, apparently not finding the need to wear it. His bare torso and black hair were dripping wet.

"Wow" your mouth betrayed you. Oops. And just like that you gave Loki an idea about 'how he was going to entertain himself in this boring midguardian town'.

He turned in your direction with a raised eyebrow and a cocky grin, "Like what you see, miss (y/n)"

You tried to appear unfazed, "Ofcourse, it's definitely an impossible improvement over how miserable you looked before. You don't look like a dead snake anymore"

I hope he bought it.

"Oh, really?" He asked, grin still in place. He walked over to stand right behind you, not keeping as much distance as any decent man would've. He then bent over you pretending to look at what you were reading but coming extremely close in the process.

"What are you reading?" He whispered in your ear.

His face was inches away from yours and you could feel his breath on your neck. And that soap you gave him smelt really nice. Why didn't you ever notice it before?!

Subconsciously you gulped and this made Loki's grin impossibly wider.

"Miss (y/n)?"

"Huh?"

"Am i making you uncomfortable?" He continued to whisper softly in your ears, making those remarks in his husky, sexy voice knowing how it was affecting you.

"No" you replied without making eye contact, clearly meaning the opposite.

How could I lose control, I never loose control!!

You subconsciously bit your lower lip because of the effect he was having on you but you failed to notice that you were now no longer the only person being affected by this intimate melodrama.

Loki swore he wasn't attracted to you. He was just having a little fun. Because obviously- why would he be attracted to a midguardian?! But he could not explain why his eyes were drawn to your lips as you bit them and he could not explain the tingling sensation in his own.

"Could you just-"

"Hmm?" He replied suddenly.

Weird. But okay...

You tried to gesture with your hand for him to move away, but he either did not follow what you meant or pretended not to. So you ducked down and got up from your chair to keep some distance from him. But he suddenly got in your way so that you tripped and fell- on him. He managed to keep his balance but you had not, so you were now leaning on him completely, your arms wrapped around his shoulders tightly to keep your balance, your torso touching his. Your face was inches apart from his and he had wrapped his arm around you protectively to keep you from falling.

Unbeknownst to you, this was having a very serious impact on the person in whose arms you currently were but since only your upper bodies were touching, you were clueless. But said person was a very good actor and did an amazing job to make you blush again.

"Am I really that irresistible, (y/n)?" He whispered in the same voice he had used before.

"You- you tripped me!" You accused.

As you said this, you moved your hands from his shoulders and pushed against his chest to get back on your feet but Loki didn't move his arm from around your waist.

"Just admit that you like me and I'd hold you here forever...if you wish" he added the last part quickly.

Did his cheeks just turn light pink or were you imagining stuff now?

"YOU TRIPPED ME! I didn't fall on you on purpose."

"You don't have to keep making excuses" he replied with a grin, thoroughly enjoying your embarrassment and the bright red of your cheeks. How was (y/n) a teacher? She was so cute! How did anyone take her seriously!

But his wasn't the only mind racing with thoughts. Yours was too. And suddenly it struck you, what he was upto. He may be the god of mischief.....and devilishly handsome, and knew how to get to you, and...he was so freaking close right now- Anyway getting back to the point, he may be the god of mischief but you were a teacher too so you used an age old teachers' formula. Find a way to appreciate them even when they're getting the better of you. That's the only way to win with children- and perhaps Loki too.

"I know what you're trying to do" you said softly.

"And what's that?" He asked, faking innocence.

"You're trying to have a little fun. You're trying to get me all embarassed and jumpy around you. It's pretty impressive actually, cute too." You had to admit it, because it was absolutely true.

He was stumped. He didn't know how to respond to that. You knew that look all too well. This was your territory now. You became bolder and spoke your mind.

"You almost had me going there for a while. You're smart Loki. It takes brains to be mischievous. You've got so much potential to do great things. You know that people will look up to you if you let them know you for real. But I don't understand why you settle for trying to force your way on people instead of getting them to actually like you. There is so much more to you than you let on.. You know what, I think you'll turn out okay, eventually" you smiled at him warmly, before moving his arm from your waist yourself. He was still too stunned to respond. His expression was blank.

"And wear the t-shirt, will you?" You laughed as you made your way to the kitchen.

When you came back to the dining room you saw him leaning against the table. He had put on the t shirt as you had asked but his face lacked it's usual sassy-ness.

"What happened?" You asked him, concerned.

"You didn't mean what you said." He said softly. He was uncertain, you could tell, but there was unmistakable hope in his voice. You realised then how much he craved appreciation.

"What exactly do you think I didn't mean?"

"Everything you said...That I...that I have potential. That.. you....believe in me?"

"If I say that I did, would you believe me?"

He shook his head as you thought he would. It would take more than your word for him to believe you.

"Then why don't you figure that out for yourself while you're staying here?

He gave a slight nod without making eye contact.

"Good. Now go serve your food so we can eat and call it a night, okay?"

Again he nodded slightly but proceeded to do as you asked.

You followed Loki with your eyes as he made his way to the kitchen. Your hands were going to be full in the coming weeks because an innocent child trapped in the body of a so called evil grown man, was currently residing under your roof.

Yup that's it.

Is the student teacher thing weird? Judge me not my lovely readers. I have a feeling it's okay when there are two grown adults in the picture. But anywaaay..... your thoughts? Did i creep anybody out?
