Loki x Reader - Give Me Love

“Give me Love” – Loki x Reader Chapter 30

***

The French doors opened, and the five people stepped through,

“Loki Laufeyson.” The warrior woman said. “You are under arrest, under the name of Odin, the Allfather.” Her voice was stern and unwavering. Great… just great… What else could go wrong?

***

A wide smile cracked over Loki’s face.

“I did not expect such an entourage-,” his smile almost instantly dropped when the noble-looking woman stepped into the room. You guessed he hadn’t seen her when they arrived, but still, to have such a reaction... Who was she? Thor quickly stepped forwards to greet… his friends…? They looked like they knew him from the smiles on their faces… The Asgardian prince then stepped over to the noble woman.

“Mother…” Thor said as the woman trailed her hand over his cheek. Ah... that would make sense why Loki was acting in such a way... Thor pulled her into a tight embrace, and she wrapped her arms around his broad chest. Loki pulled you tighter to his side. You glanced up at him; anger irritation, but most of all jealousy burned in his eyes. Your hand moved to his chest, trying to soothe him a little.

“Loki…” a calm, soft and feminine voice called. Loki glanced away from you and towards the noble woman.

“Frigga.” He said coldly. The woman sighed softly,

“You know why we’re here…”

“Of course… If you warning wasn’t enough to allude me to your intentions, Sif’s statement before was.” He said dryly. Your grip on him tightened slightly when you was Frigga’s eyes sadden,

“Play nice…” you said softly.

“You must be (Name).” your eyes widened slightly and you turned to the noble woman,

“Y-Yes...” you said. How did she-,

“She’s been watching us.” Loki said. Your mouth fell open slightly. Everyone seemed to be doing that of late... Sif sighed,

“Queen Frigga, we cannot dawdle...” she said. The queen’s eyes lingered on you and Loki for a moment.

“What do you intend to do?” she asked you.

“A-About what...?”

“Will you come with us, or remain here?” immediately the room broke out into arguments.

“You cannot seriously be giving her that option.” Tony said.

“Why not?” Frigga asked.

“B-Because...” the billionaire stuttered; for once he was actually lost for words,

“Because?” the queen urged, “because she is human? because of her history with Loki? or is it for another reason?”

“D, all of the above.” Tony said, earning a warning glance from Thor.

“Regardless of what you think, you cannot stop her from coming if that is what she wishes.”

“You may want to rethink your stance on this.” Fury said. “Earth may be in shambles at the moment, but regardless, I do not think the leaders would take to kindly to you kidnapping one of their people...”

“Are you threatening Asgard?” she asked coolly, her brow rose slightly.

“Not at all.” He said. “I just want you to make sure you know what you are doing...”

“It’s not kidnapping if I willingly go with them.” You piped up.

“(Name), you should consider staying...” Loki whispered softly.

“What?” you asked, quickly turning back to him.

“Loki,” Frigga said, drawing both of your gazes to her. “Let me speak with her for a moment.” He squeezed you tightly for a moment before releasing you. Instantly the warriors stepped forwards and cuffed Loki. Frigga loosely wrapped an arm around your waist and led you from the room. You glanced over your shoulder to Loki until the cool, stone walls blocked your view.

Frigga led you to the old, worn outdoor sitting area.

“I know you must feel violated to be watched so closely by so many people...” she said softly. You chuckled nervously,

“A little...” you mumbled. She glanced out to the bright afternoon sky,

“Midgard is beautiful... it has been many years since I have had a need to come here...”

“Why did you come here...?” she glanced back over to you,

“Because Loki would not fight me. If it was just Sif and The Warriors Three, Loki would have fought against their attempt to return him to Asgard...” you nodded. That made sense... though you doubted Loki would have won that fight. “I really did mean what I said to you (Name). If you wish it, I will bring you to Asgard...” she said. You bit your lower lip,

“Loki wants me to stay here...”

“He just wants you to make sure you think about all your options...” You hummed softly,

“What would it be like on Asgard...?” you asked softly. Frigga took a seat on a long daybed, patting the space beside her. You took a seat next to her, fearing your spinning mind and weakening knees may cause you to collapse. It was all happening too fast...

“I won’t lie to you (Name), it will not be easy...” she said. “Loki is a fugitive, and though he is our son, my husband will not take his offences lightly... He will go to prison.”

“He would end up in prison if he stayed here...” you said softly. She nodded,

“I know...” she said before continuing, “You will not be accepted by everyone, and you will have only a few people who will even acknowledge your love for Loki and your presence in the palace... The only reason I am asking you to consider this is because of Loki... he has changed, and I know you can see it... even if it isn’t all the time...” she sighed. “If you are taken away from him, I know he will pull away, and he will not let anyone in... not even me...” her hand moved to cover yours. “The only reason my words reach him now is because he has you... he has someone to keep him sane, to keep him content, and to give and receive his love...” she said. “You keep his heart open and his feet on the ground...” you glanced down.

“Do you know what he’s done...”

“Yes.”

“Everything he has done?”

“Not in great detail... but yes...”

“And you would still want me to go with him?”

“He is in so many ways a monster... but you have seen his kindness. You have seen his warmth and softness, his scars and his insecurities...” you wrapped your arms around your middle. “You live him, do you not?”

“I do...” you whispered. “But I don’t at the same time...” she gently wrapped an arm around your shoulders, and you fell against her chest. She gently stroked your hair,

“Make your decision on what you want. Not what I, Loki, or the Avengers think is best for you; it is your decision.” You nodded,

“When will you be leaving...?” you asked softly.

“Once Sif finishes explaining the situation on Asgard to all of them...” she said, glancing over to the room the two of you had left. Loki was being led by two of the men; a large man with unruly red hair and beard, and the other, slimmer with perfectly styled blond hair and clothes.

“Will I be able to come back if I change my mind?” you asked.

“If I say no?” your eyes moved back to her,

“Then it would mean the decision I have to make will affect the rest of my life...”

“That is true... but if you come, and then have a change of heart, I will make sure you are able to return...” she said. “Humans do not live as long as we do, and I cannot ask you to risk your entire life to make Loki happy, if you become miserable.” A weak smile pulled at your lips.

“Thank you...” she caressed your cheek softly.

“Mother.” Thor called, as the Asgardians gathered at the same place they had emerged from. She offered you a smile before standing and walking over to them. You took a deep breath to steady your heart and body before following behind.

What should you do? Stay behind and let Loki wallow away in prison, knowing that he would block everyone else out? Or follow the man you loved; the man who psychologically and physically tortured you for what felt like an eternity? Should you stay behind and try to start again? There were people who had far less than you who would have to do that exact thing... But really what did you have? You had no friends or family nearby, and your new ‘friends’ all turned their backs on you because of Loki... But if Loki was gone, would they accept you? Would you want to be accepted by them? If the only way to gain their friendship was to turn your back on the man you loved, were they really your friends?

“(Name)...” someone - - maybe Nat - - said, and you glanced up. Everyone was staring at you intently,

“What do you choose?” Frigga asked. Ideally you would like a day, or two - - if not a week - - to think it all over. Sure, you could come back if things didn’t work out, but that didn’t mean everyone would accept you if you came back... “(Name)...” she said. Your body began to walk forwards on its own, your mind still debating the choices. Your arms wrapped around something warm and familiar.

“(Name)...?” Loki asked softly. You glanced up at him; his arms unable to embrace you due to the chains.

“I want to go with you...” you said softly.

“(Name)-,”

“No, shut up” You cut Loki off. Wait... where did that come from? A small smile pulled at your lips when his mouth fell open. “I’m going to go with you, and there’s nothing you can say or do about it,” You said sternly.

“You have a life here, you could have a normal life here; your friends and -,”

“My chance for a normal life disappeared the moment I entered your bed; and besides... most of my friends and family are dead, or missing...”

“Are you sure?” Thor asked. You turned to the older brother,

“Yes...”

The others began to chatter amongst themselves and argue against your decision, but you paid them no mind.

“Are you sure...?” Loki asked softly as the Asgardians began to gather closer.

“No... But at the moment, you are what I want... I don’t feel like I belong here anymore...” He nodded as the two of you stepped a little closer to the others. The group formed a tight circle, just managing to fit within the border of an intricate design burned into the ground. You glanced back to the Avengers for a moment, and smiled weakly at them. To your surprise they smiled back, albeit some of their smiles looked they were forced...

“Hold onto me.” Loki whispered. Your brows furrowed,

“Wh-,”

“Heimdall!” Thor yelled to the sky.
