‘I love you’ were words that filled you with joy, the smile and the fleeting feeling of your blood rushing through your cheeks.
To see his smile, his cheekbones adjust with his big grin as he held you close. Interlocked hands sealing the close knit bond. It was clear you both were dear to wach other’s hearts.
“I love you Loki,” you said your voice soft and low for only him to hear.
You two were on the balcony of his room in Asgard long ago, up when even the gods and the mighty slept.
He chuckled kissing your cheek, “I love you too my dear.” He said with a smile.
You were oh so close to him, throughout it all. No matter what he did- what chaos, destruction, or shame he brought upon himself or others you always stayed.
From when he tried to take over the mortal realm to when he faked his death.
You held his hand in pride.
Even when he dragged you into the tomfoolery of the TVA on accident, he used a tempad to see you. Even with Mobius yelling after him, running at some point to catch him.
Loki hugged you, embracing you tightly and close to his chest with a kiss so tender and loving it made your heart whirl.
“I love you,” he said with a smile on his face again.
“I love you too.” You responded quickly, even though you had to deal with Mobius right after.
But he hopped through time to see you, one last time, one more time.
You were stroking his hair gently through your fingers, as he was lying on your lap at the end of time. Your beautiful face, every part of your body he loved.
Every edge, every line, how your face contours. He put a hand on your cheek, his eyes began to water as he realized his resolve.
“I love you.” He said with a frown and tears dripping down.
“I love you so much more than you could ever know… It will be my greatest regret to never be able to marry you. But now, you’ll be able to never worry on living another day to marry…”
You were speechless as you tried slamming or banging the door open, searching for a way to open the door.
“I know what kind of god I need to be, for you… For all of us.” He smiled, ever so bittersweetly as he walked out to brave the loom.
You were in shock, your body could not move- it shut down completely your legs hitting the floor and your eyes watering and pouring like a faucet.
Even after when it was all over and the deed was done, being brought back to New Asgard.
You cried to yourself shutting yourself in and weeping, mourning the love you still have. But will never see again.
Loki saw your pain through Yggdrasil, he shed a tear, he never wanted to put you through that much pain. He wanted to make you grin, laugh, and dance. He felt awful, but it was either this or never you having the chance to laugh again.
