Days passed and Suki never woke up! Loki began to worry; yet he never left Suki's side. One day he decided to go to the Bifrost to clear his mind. He was there for a while until Thor came up.
"What is wrong my brother?" Thor asked, sitting down next to him, their legs dangling over the edge.
"What is this that I am feeling? This need of comfort from that maiden?" Loki asked.
"Ah, you've never felt this feeling before, my brother... This feeling is called 'loneliness'." Thor replied.
"Loneliness?" Loki asked.
"Yes. It is a feeling that happens when you are alone and desire a person's comfort." Thor replied.
"Is this why my heart feels so heavy?" Loki asked.
"Yes, but you will overcome it! You are my brother for the god's sake!" Thor laughed, slapping Loki hard on the back, almost knocking Loki off the Bifrost!
"Gah! Watch it you oaf! You almost made me fall off the Bifrost!" Loki snapped, rubbing his back. "I'm going to my chamber to meditate." Loki claimed.
"Very well... I shall remain here for a while longer." Thor claimed. Loki began to walk to his chamber.
- Loki was almost at his chamber when a massive headache hit him hard. He groaned in pain and clutched his head.
"Gah! What is this!?" Loki groaned. He fell to his knees.
"Prince Loki! What is the matter!?" Someone cried.
"My... Head..." Loki groaned. He fell over and passed out.
"Prince Loki!" The person cried.
Soon, Suki woke up in the Healers Room.
"Ah! My lady! You have awoken!" One of the healers known as Eir cried. "Do you have the ability to heal?" She asked.
"Yeah... Why?" Suki asked. She sat up and saw Loki. His whole face was flushed and he was breathing heavily, his face scrunched up in pain. He appeared to be struggling to breathe. Suki ran over to Loki. "Loki! What happen!? What happened!?" Suki cried.
"A guard reported he was on his way to his chamber when he clutched his head in pain and fell to the floor. He claimed that his head was hurting." Eir replied. Suki hovered he hands over Loki. His body began to glow.
"His energy is all twisted up inside. It's no wonder his body would be overwhelmed by it..." Suki muttered.
"But, you can heal him, correct?" Eir asked.
"I believe I can. See, I have a limited amount of magic I am able to use for a certain amount of time. If I go beyond my ability, I pass out and will not wake up for several days. It is not permanent, but I will wake up in time. Since I have been asleep for so long, I may have enough magic to revive him, but he will not awake for some time..." Suki explained.
"I see..." Eir replied.
Suki worked hard to revive Loki. She succeeded, but Loki remained asleep for several days. She refused to leave Loki's side since she healed him. She even refused to eat!
"Hey..." A voice called. Suki turned around and saw Thor standing in the doorway, a tray of food in hand. "I brought you some food, in case you were hungry. A young lady like you should eat. You need your energy..." Thor insisted.
"Oh... Thanks... Just set the food down on that table beside me..." Suki replied, pointing to the table. Thor set the food down and sat down next to her. He rubbed Suki's head.
"Do not fear, for Loki will eventually awake..." Thor insisted.
"I know. I just fear that Loki may wake up, but he will be the same before I had met him... That he will awake as the criminal he once was..." Suki replied.
"Do not fear, that may never happen..." Thor replied.
"How do you know that?" Suki asked.
"Because he is my brother... Plus... He has you..." Thor replied, smiling. He patted Suki's shoulder. Suki smiled back small.
"I guess you are right... But..." Suki replied.
"Do not give me that sound..." Thor growled. "Have faith in my brother..." Thor asked. He turned to Suki and said, "As I have had faith in you..." Thor smiled and Suki did so too.
"Thank you Thor... But I still worry... I cannot stop worrying, for it makes me human..." Suki explained.
"I see..." Thor replied. Suki turned back to Loki.
"Please leave me... I wish to be alone for a while..." Suki asked softly.
"Very well..." Thor replied, getting up. "If you need anything, just come and let me know..." Thor said.
"Okay..." Suki replied. She waited until Thor had left the room. "Loki... You look so peaceful as you sleep... I do hope you can hear me speak these words..." Suki said, as if Loki could actually hear her. "I hope what I do will help you... It helped in times of my greatest need..." Suki explained. She began to sing.
"I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said I'd never let you go,
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said 'don't leave me here alone'
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight~" Suki took a breath and began to sing the chorus, her voice trembling.
"Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be Safe And Sound" She paused so she could catch her breath and prepare for the next verse, not knowing Thor was standing in the doorway. He had heard singing coming from the Healer's Room and decided to investigate.
"Don't you dare look out your window
Darling' everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone~" Suki began to sing the chorus, when Thor joined in. Suki stopped singing, flinched, and spun around, to see Thor standing there. She smiled and joined in with Thor.
"Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be Safe And Sound"
"Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh~" Thor stopped singing and let Suki sing the next part, not knowing that a crowd had formed in the doorway.
"Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be Safe And Sound" Then Thor joined in with Suki when she stopped and nodded.
"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oohhh.~" When they stopped, Suki turned to Thor and threw herself into Thor's chest and cried. Thor just smiled and hugged her back. The small crowd behind them began to clap, startling them both. Thor chuckled and turned to Suki. He patted Suki's back and smiled.
"I did not know Loki's 'lovely maiden' could sing..." Thor complimented.
"Y-Yeah... I've been singing since I was young..." Suki replied.
"I'm sure that Loki heard you..." Thor said.
"You think so?" Suki asked.
"Think so? Why don't you ask him yourself... Right, Loki?" Thor replied. Suki looked shocked.
"Eh?" She asked. She turned around and saw Loki sitting up and smiling. Tears ran down her cheeks as she fell into Loki's lap and cried.
"Why do you cry?" Loki asked.
"I'm crying because I'm relieved! You idiot!" Suki snapped. Loki just smiled and rubbed Suki's head. He let Suki cry on his lap.
I'll end it there! The song I used was "Safe And Sound" by Taylor Swift! Look it up! See you next time! ^_^
