Heart of lies - Loki x Reader

Not A Monster

You sat in the kitchen, staring at your coffee, the smell surrounding you. Yesterday would have to be one of the best days of your life, you could remember just how Loki's hands felt on your body. For once you were truly happy, you hadn't seen Loki all day, you assumed he was just reading and had completely forgot about everyone, of course you doubted that was true, what you believed is that he regretted his actions, and was trying to stay away from you, you couldn't blame him really. Your smile disappeared from your face, as negative thoughts ran through your mind, he hated you. Or at least that's what you believed. You had screwed up everything, he probably would never talk to you again now, and that's all your fault, but even with these thoughts in your head you couldn't help but make your way to his room, hoping that he would be okay. You stood in front of his door, it looked so much bigger than usual, a sick feeling settled in your stomach, well there's no going back now, you held your hand up, knocking your knuckles against the door,waiting for a response.

"What?" you heard Loki reply, his tone sounded harsh and annoyed, you breathed in pushing the door open, and closing it quietly behind you, Loki looked up from his book, his unimpressed look disappearing from his face, with a smile taking its place

"I wanted to make sure you were okay." you said shyly, looking down at the floor, he sighed softly, folding the corner of the page he was on and placing it on the desk besides him. He stood and walked over to you, his hand barely caressing your face, his eyes slightly saddened.

"Why do you care?" he asked softly, turning his head to the side, you were immediately taken back by his comment, we're your actions yesterday not enough to prove how much you care for him? You cupped his face in your hands, making him face you

"Why are you asking this Loki?" you asked, staring into his green eyes, they were mesmerising, but at this moment, filled with sadness of some sort, he closed his eyes and leaned into your touch slightly

"I'm a monster Y/N, I should of told you sooner." he pulled away, facing his back to you.

"What are you talking about Loki?" you asked, he turned around facing you, his face blue and eyes a crimson red, his face pattern with markings, you recognised the marking, immediately knowing that he was a Frost Giant. Although you didn't cower away, or scream in fear, you stood there mesmerised by his new form, your eyes roaming over his face, your reached out to touch him, he quickly jerked away

"Don't, I will only hurt you." he said, his words filled with pain, you shook your head, all you wanted was to hold him in your arms, you extended your arms, gesturing for him to move into your embrace. His skin slowly changed back to his 'human' form, his eyes glazed over with tears, you moved forward, pulling him into your arms. He hid his face in the crook of your neck.
"How could you ever care for a monster like me." he stated more than asked, your grip on him tightened

"Loki, you are not a monster, and you never will be in my eyes, I do not care for your past actions, yes you killed innocent people but right now you are trying to redeem yourself. I only care for what you do now and in the future, I care for you because I know how it feels to be the 'misfit', you are not alone Loki and you never will be." you spoke softly, your hand rubbing his back slowly, you didn't care that he was a Frost Giant, that didn't matter to you, everyone had a dark part to their past, it was clear to you he was struggling to except that. From what you had heard from Thor, Loki was always second best, never being able to please his father. Of course Thor didn't see it that way, he loved his brother and saw him as a equal, but he was never treated like Loki, he was looked at as the next King of Asgard. It pained you to know Loki, someone you had grown to love and care for, had to ever go through something like that, no matter what he has done, it was the very fact he was treated that way, which lead to his recent mistakes, all he was trying to do was prove himself to his father, Odin.

Loki pulled away a little so he was able to look at your face, a single tear rolled down his face, he smiled softly

" You are a queen any king would want. " he chuckled, leaning his head against yours

"Then let me be your queen." you said, your face heating up at how close you were to each other, your heart was hammering, a smirk found its way on Loki's face, he pressed his lips to you softly, pulling away a little too fast for your liking

"Happily." he answered, capturing you lips in his
