So here comes another chapter. Im on a roll today. I hope you like this one. I do love writing Loki/Leera moments I also know that's what you guys like, so more of it will be happening. But I do want something good to happen, like perhaps an argument, or fight, or something with Little Loofney. So, because I loves my fans, for the second time in writing change of heart/love lost in a single heartbeat, I would love to hear what kinds of things you would like to happen, and I shall take them all into consideration. I DO have ideas, but I love to hear from you all and I love to please my fans with something they are going to love. So, when you comment/if you do, say what you would like to see, and I may incorporate the best idea along with mine in the upcoming chapters. Don't feel bad though if I don't use some of the ideas, I will try my best to use bits and bobs.

Marvel owns Loki and all remnants of Asgard

….

Loki sat under a great oak, leaning against the trunk of the tree and sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. The peace and quiet helped him think. It was tranquil, his sense of place. The breeze swept through his hair and the strong scent of blooming flowers filled his nostrils. "Your back early brother. Mother and I just saw Leera and Loofney" a voice sounded, breaking through the enjoyable silence. Loki groaned at his interruption, but kept his eyes closed. Feeling a slight breeze by his side, Loki knew Thor had sat by his side. "She would not tell me or mother why you came back you know. She said that you would tell me?" Thor urged on, not liking the silence.

"Did she now" Loki sighed heavily.

"Is everything alright with you both brothers?" Thor inquired.

"Stop"

"Stop what?" Thor's brow furrowed, confused.

"stop calling me brother" Loki replies, opening his eyes and rose to his feet, brushing down his knees and began to walk away, walking along the river side next to the grand trees.

"I only say what the truth is, Loki" Thor answered, catching up with the young prince.

"You know we are not brothers" Loki stated, looking to the side with Thor looking straight back.

"Not by blood maybe, but you are my brother. We were brought up together Loki, we played together, and we have such fond memories..."

"... Memories you have kept Thor, not I" Loki snarled.

"You do not wish to remember such things between us?" Thor stopped, hurt, and yanked his brother's arm to stop him. Loki still looked away and Thor reached out his hand and gripped his chin, moving it to face him.

"Why would I want to remember a childhood that took place under false pretences? Thinking I was an asgardian, being brought up as one, when all along, I never was?" Loki spat, his voice slightly shaking.

"Brother, nothing has changed between us, not matter what has taken place in the past, well at Least, it has not changed to me" Thor offered

"Then you are a fool for thinking so. It will never be the same Thor, never." Loki spat, removing his face from Thor's hand and walked, almost ran, up the path. Thor looked to the ground, his heart felt like it was attacked by a thousand daggers, and solemnly rushed after his brother.

"What did Leera want you to tell me?" Thor mentioned. Loki exhaled, knowing that Thor would not leave him be to his own thoughts, and would persist his nagging until he retrieved an answer. Spinning around, Loki stood face to face with his brother.

"We came back because of… Leera and my son were in danger…" Loki trailed off, feeling suddenly saddened.

"What, by whom?" Thor demanded.

"They found me, your friends!" The young prince scolded, his eyes darkening "They wanted me! They thought I was a threat to them still. How foolish! By no means were they going to harm my loved ones. We escaped quickly before an attack could take place. Leera wanted me to ask you, though I don't see why, to go to your friends and tell them about me, about my changing, and not a threat to them!" Loki explained, almost exhausted with grief. Thor shook his head and placed a hand on his brother's shoulder.

"Loki, I shall so what Leera wishes me to, if that is what you want?" Loki shrugged and turned back towards the entrance of the gardens, running a hand through his midnight hair.

"What do it matter what I want. You'll do it anyway" Loki waved a hand at Thor as a sign of defeat and disappeared from sight. The golden god inhaled loudly and felt hurt. His brother was not the same anymore, and he never would be, not after everything.

. . . .

Leera sat on her bed, knees to her chest, her arms wrapped tightly around them. Loofney was overly tired and slept almost instantly as his little head touched the pillow. The once mortal woman stared out through the window at the beautiful sky, thinking about what her life would have been like if she never met Loki. She came to the conclusion that it would be a boring life. She would be alone, childless, and bitter. She loved him, yes, she did love him. This life up in the sky? Not so much, but she was prepared to accommodate herself to the surroundings, because of course she believed that a woman should be wherever the husband was. The dark haired woman could not stop thinking about this morning; the man of iron aiming his weapon at them, the two agents pointing their guns, and then and arrow approaching them. Leera could not stop thinking about what would have happened if the arrow hit Loki in the head or Loofney. A single tear trickled down her pale cheek at horrid scenarios played across her vision. Sniffling, Leera raised her head as a gently knock came on the door. The door opened slowly and Loki walked in, closing in behind him and stayed put, facing his crying wife. "I'm sorry Leera…" Loki whispered and watched as Leera turned her face away from him. Loki felt in sinking feeling in his stomach, and climbed onto the bed. Sitting next to Leera, Loki pulled her down so that her head rested on the top of his thighs, and ever so gently, he ran his fingers through her hair. Leera tucked her hands under her cheek and sniffled quietly. Loki looked down at his wife on his lap and felt ashamed. "…I told Thor" Loki offered, breaking the silence.

"And?" Her voice came, shaking with emotions.

"He said he will do so, if I so wish, which means that he will do it anyway. Leera, I'm sorry, please forgive me. I should not have picked at them. I should have just brought us back straight away. I knew what they were capable of, and yet, I did not turn away. I did not think of you and our son, just my selfish needs to appear stronger, and above them. I was reckless" Loki admitted and another sniffle could be heard, but it did not belong to Leera. Leera lifted her head and sat upright. Lifting a leg over Loki's lap, so that her legs were either side of Loki's lap, Leera sat down and leant into loki's chest, wrapping her arms around his neck. Loki wrapped his arms around her back and slowly crossed his legs, so that Leera was lifted a little higher and now sat in his crossed legs.

"It's ok, I know your history with them, I possibly would have done the same, challenge them, if it were me..." Leera admitted lifting her head a little and placed a loving kiss on Loki's neck. Loki closed his eyes and leant his head back against the headboard.

"Unless you want to, we shan't go back. Even if Thor explains everything, I hurt a lot of people, and killed their friends and family; I cannot see them turning instantly to forgiveness. Some may even still, seek revenge. I don't want that for either of you" Leera placed another kiss on his neck then sat back. Loki opened his eyes, missing the feeling of the kissed and placed his hands on Leera's hips.

"Ok. I'm ok with that. Besides, where would we go if we went back? You kind of destroyed my house" Leera chuckled, lightening the mood, and wiped her tears from her face. She could never stay angry or upset with him for long, she found. His face was just so, well it melted her insides that was for sure.

"I'm so, so sorry for that!" Loki said almost too quickly.

"It's a house, Loki. Houses can be replaced, Husbands and children, not that easy. I'm just glad that you are both ok, and that nasty gash has gone from your face" Leera noticed, stroking his face softly.

"Yes, you are right. I'm-" Loki began but was cut off by a finger placed on his lips to silence him.

"If you say sorry one more time, I may have to hurt you" Leera teased and removed her finger. Loki raised an eyebrow and grinned mischievously.

"…. Sorry" He said, face straight. Leera poked her tongue out, losing her dignity in that moment and crawled from Loki's lap and stood next to the bed. Holding out her hand, Loki took it suspiciously and pulled himself up, hovering over Leera. Indicating for him to move, Loki frowned and stepped forward, and found himself catching his foot on Leera's and fell with a thud on the floor, his knees slamming against the hard wood, and he yelp at the shock and began to laugh. Leera stood over him and raised an eyebrow.

"Told you…" Leera pointed out and tried stepping over Loki, but was unsuccessful when he grabbed her legs, nearly pulling down her jeans, and she fell on top of him ungracefully.

"Now that, my lady was not very nice" Loki said playfully.

"And pulling me, ever so graciously was, my lord?" Leera said sarcastically, falling on top of Loki as he led on the floor.

"The view down here is quite nice, I thought you might like to join me" Loki joked, grabbing Leera's face. Leera steadied herself by placing a hand on the floor either side of Loki's head.

"Oh really? It not that great to be honest, I've seen better" Leera replied, pretending to be unimpressed and rolled her eyes. Loki laughed and brought his loves face down to his and both their lips met in a loving, lingering kiss.
