Soulmates (Loki fanfic soulmate au)

Chapter 4

I glance around my dreamscape. It was a beautiful sight and you had no idea why it suddenly changed from complete darkness to something so gorgeous. You walk around, feeling the grass beneath your feet as you were wearing your pajamas. There was a huge waterfall beside you which caused droplets of water to tickle your face. There was a wisteria tree in the middle of the place and a bunch of wild flowers covered the ground. You walk towards the tree and stopped when you saw that a child was sitting underneath it, his head resting against the trunk. You walk towards the child. You were curious. You've never seen another person in your dreams no matter how weird they were.

"Hi" you greeted the child. His eyes flutter open, revealing soft emerald irises. They were beautiful, much more beautiful than anything you've ever seen and you immediately knew, that the child in front of you was your soulmate. And you knew that he was the same child that you've seen crying in your dream when you first arrived at the Avengers tower.

"I can't believe this," you said, laughing at another dreadful situation.

The child only stared at you, not saying anything, waiting for you to continue. "I can't believe my soulmate is a child," you said, sitting down beside him. He smirked as if you said something amusing.

"You'll be surprised if you see me in real life. I am quite charming" the child said, and you saw the hint of maturity in his eyes.

You snorted at him. "I'm not sure if I can find a child charming," you said.

"I am not a child. I am in fact over 1,000 years old" he said.

"Then why do you look like a child?" you asked, looking at his eyes.

"I'm not sure if you would be too fond of my adult form," he said and you caught fear in his eyes for a second before he hid it.

"Why? Are you someone bad?" you asked, not knowing why he was so afraid to show his true self.

He smiled bitterly. "Well, I'm not really the kindest person out there. That would have to be my brother" he said, his voice revealing adoration as he mentioned his brother.

"You can't be that bad," you said, putting a hand on his shoulder.

He looks at you, with curiosity, as if you were a new specimen he has never seen before. "Tell me about yourself" he softly requested.

"Well, I'm (y/n) (l/n). I love the color (f/c). My favorite food is (f/f). I'm an orphan and I was abandoned in front of a church by my parents when I was only a baby. I grew up in that same church but I wasn't treated in the nicest way so I left when I was able to. I worked 5 part-time jobs in college to be able to fend for myself. I have one close friend and...yeah, that's basically it" you said, with a bright smile on your face.

Your soulmate stared at you for a few seconds, his eyes were filled with concern. You were strange to him, and he didn't know how you were able to show such an endearing smile after telling him how bad your life was. He thought for another second before he asked.

"May I?" he said, his palm laid out for you to take. You looked at it before shifting your gaze to him as if asking what he was about to do. He didn't say anything and only waited for you to rest your palm on his.

You slowly held out your hand and placed it on top of his. You notice him close his eyes, concentrating on something. You waited and felt slight heaviness from your head but it wasn't enough to make you complain. It only felt as if a small book was placed on your head which wasn't uncomfortable or anything. Your soulmate opened his eyes and you saw the sadness and pain in them, and somehow you knew they were directed to you.

"What did you do?" you calmly asked. Your soulmate didn't answer and only rested his small hands on your cheek.

"I'm sorry it took me so long to find you. You should not have suffered from all of that. I'm sorry, my love" he said, and you swore you almost saw him tear up.
