Away From Home

Loki and Ren were once childhood friends. They would spend hours upon hours together in the library, or pulling pranks on the palace staff. They were inseparable, and were only separated from each other for bed time, or when Loki had to go with Thor on hunts or battles when he was older.

As they got older, things changed. Ren's father was more stern with her upbringing, and only allowed Ren to see Loki when he and the Allfather met for business. Occasionally, when Ren's father was on the battlefield, her mother allowed her to visit Loki. As the two grew into their teenage years, they developed feelings for each other, despite not being each other's soulmate. They were head over heels for one another, but refused to act upon said feelings.

Now, centuries later, Loki is an Avenger, albeit a reluctant one, and is in a strange but loving relationship with fellow Avenger Bucky Barnes. But the relationship is challenged when Thor brings an old, but familiar face to the compound.
