I have just read through some chapters and just realised that I have made a few spelling mistakes and some words don't fit in certain places. Forgive me, that's due to using my ipod to write these stories with the t9 on. I am however, editing them on my computer to improve any spelling mistakes. So please, forgive the mistakes. I hope you enjoy this. Please comment loads and loads!
Marvel owns Loki and all remnants of Asgard. Loofney and Leera are mine
…..
Leera strolled back to her room, nodding to all the guards happily. Stopping outside and turning the handle, Leera walked in and shut the door. Walking to the cot, Leera smiles at her son and then realised, where was Loki? Turning around Leera saw a black pile on the balcony. Rushing over, Leera saw Loki leaning against the bars of the balcony, eyes closed and cheeks stained with salty evidence that he had been crying. Dropping to the floor, Leera pulled Loki up to a sitting position and pulled him against her chest. "Loki, wake up" Leera said, talking into Loki's ear. Leaning over to stray towel on the floor, Leera brought it up to his face and gently wiped away the residue of the salty tears. Loki twitched and opened his eyes. Sitting up quickly, Loki collected himself as he recognised his surroundings. Turning, Loki saw that he was sat on the floor of the balcony with Leera by his side. "What are you doing on the balcony Loki?" Leera whispered, sitting up on her knees.
"I- I um" Loki rubbed his eyes and remembered. Looking away, Loki's eyes began to fill again. Leera leaned forward and turned his face to her's.
"Tell me" she begged, and Loki collapses into Leera's embrace. Leera held him tight and rocked a little. Loki gripped Leera's arm tightly and buried his face in Leera's neck, quiet sobbing echoed in the room. "Loki, loki's what's wrong?" Leera frowned, stroking his head.
"I can't do this anymore" Loki confesses, leaning in tighter.
"Can't do what?" Leera said, kissing his head.
"With them..." Loki said, not clearly explaining what he was trying to say. Leera sighed and placed her head on top of Loki's, stroking his face. "I- just can't. I hate, no, I mean ..." Loki tried to speak but, for once in his life, was at loss for words. Leera tried to calm him down but the more she calmed him the harder he sobbed.
"Loki, I, I don't know what to say..." Leera felt suddenly guilty and kissed his forehead repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, I just..." Loki said, pulling away, looking at his dark haired beauty's face. "I can't be the same around them. I have tried to change, for you, for Loofney, but I can't. I can't, knowing what they did, knowing what I am"
"I don't expect you to change for anyone. I love you for who you are, Loki. If you can't... Towards your family... I will respect your decision. I understand. But you're not going to take Loofney from them are you?"
"I don't want to leave Leera, you mistake my meaning..." Loki replied, stepping up "I wish to stay here in Asgard. What I mean is that, I can't treat them like my family. Knowing what I know, it doesn't feel the same between us. They are nothing more than an acquaintance to me now." Loki explained, wiping his eyes. "I will not remove Loofney from their love, or you. But as for me, I wish nothing to do with them. I will be civil. I will attend meals and celebrations. But I will never see them as I once did"
"Loki, never say never. You don't know what the future holds. But if that is what you want, then I will respect that." Leera said sadly, and also stood. Loki nodded in thanks and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Have I not made things better Loki? Have I not made your life happier? Do you still feel unloved and lost?" Leera asked solemnly, standing in between Loki's legs, placing her hands on his shoulders. Loki looked straight up into her face and his eyes sparkled with water.
"What? You have changed my life, so much you could never understand. You are my love and have made me feel loved. Feel lost?" Loki looked to the floor "... That my dear, is not down to you, and I don't even think that your love could every replace that. They left a hole in my heart that I never think will ever be repaired" Leera's shoulders sunk and rested her forehead against his.
"I will try, with all my being, to fill that whole Loki. I love you so much. I don't want you to feel like this anymore. If not me, then surely Loofney will. We love you Loki" Loki let another whimper leave his lips and pulled Leera's legs, knocking her onto his lap. Falling backwards onto his back, Leera dropped above him. Loki grabbed Leera's face, tears streaming down his cheeks. Leera leant down and kisses Loki slowly, her face wetting from his tears. Hugging his wife tight, Loki rolled to his side, so that they were now side by side and broke the kiss, looking and stroking his wife's now wet cheek.
"I hope so. I want to feel whole again. You made most of the happen, my love. You have knit me back together more than I could anticipate. I can't still feel that gap though. As if someone shot a hole through my being." Loki said, stroking his wires arm. Leera nodded and shuffled closer so that their noses where just millimetres apart.
"I promise I will never stop loving you, as long as I live" Leera whispered, never taking her eyes from Loki's.
...
The two that led entwined with each other, dried tears on both their faces woke at the sudden high pitched scream the echoes around the room. Loki sat up straight, conjuring a bright light, hovering it over his hand. Running to the cot, Loki looked down and saw little Loofney in Jotun form, eyes scrunched up wailing loudly. Leera gasped as she saw her child blue. She remembered the moment when Loki healed her burn when he frightened her and she rounds the cooker and his hand turn blue and cold. Loki placed his hand on Loofney's head and he felt extremely clammy. "Should I get the healers?" Leera panicked. Loki spun round to face her and shook his head.
"No! They cannot see him like this! No one can!" loki's voice shaking as he looked back at Loofney who wasn't changing back into his alabaster form, and carried on crying.
"Loki? What's going on? Is the baby ok?" a voice came followed by thunderous bangs on the door. Thor had awoken, and more or less half of the people in the castle because of the high pitched wailing.
"Go away Thor!" Loki shouted back over the wailing of the child. Leera looked back and forth from the door and Loki. Loki cast a warning glance at Leera to keep the doors closed, and for a split second, Leera felt scared.
"What's wrong?" Thor bellowed.
"He's a baby Thor! Babies cry!" Loki snapped back, picking Loofney up and held his blue, cold body to his chest.
"They don't cry like that Loki! I'm coming in!" Thor shouted, turning the door handle. Leera stepped back, afraid of the dark covering hovering over Loki's features. Loki thrust a hand forward to the door and used his magic to keep it closed. Loofney just wailed into Loki's ears.
"Let me in brother! This is ridiculous! Leera? Are you there, don't listen to him, open the door for me!" Thor begged, furiously rattling the door handle. Leera looked at Loki then to her son and walked towards the door slowly.
"Don't you dare Leera?" Loki snapped. Loofney could not handle all these feelings and the shouting of his parents and screamed his heart out. "I mean it. I do not want them seeing him like this!"
"He's not well Loki! We can't keep him in here whenever this happens!" Leera cried, now physically shaking with fear at Loki's grimace.
"When what happens?" Thor questioned, confused.
"Leera, do as I say, I can heal him, whatever is wrong... Please, don't open the door" Loki stared at his wife, taking his focus from the door. As soon as he forgot to hold the door shut, Thor flung Miljonir at the elegant door and it broke through the dark wood. Leera quickly jumped out of the way, and toppled on the floor. Thor's face darkened as he entered the room. Loki quickly turned his back to his 'brother' and shielded the crying child. "Do not come any closer Thor" Loki hissed. Thor apologetically handed his hand to Leera and pulled her up from the floor. Then Turned to Loki.
"Face me when you speak!" Thor demanded, taking a step closer.
"I said leave! Now!" Loki screamed, instantly regretting it as Loofney cried harder. Leera rushed to his side Ns looked pleading to Loki.
"Loki, turn around, or I will make you" Thor challenged, taking another step.
"Do not dish empty threats Thor! Leave!" Loki hissed, never taking his dark eyes from Leera. Leera shivered at the cold gaze and wandered to the bed, sitting down. Thor ignored his brother and stomped forward, placing a hard hand on Loki's shoulder. Loki shrugged him off harshly, but Thor pushed Loki harshly into the wall with a thud, unaware that Loki was actually holding Loofney. He thought the child was in his cot. Loki's back slammed against the wall and he shouted out in pain, still holding his son. Looking up, wide-eyed, Thor saw the blue skin covering the child. He knew Loki was a frost giant be blood, but he didn't even see Loki in his true form, so to see a new born baby of Asgard like this, was frightening. Thor took a step back and hit his back into the bed post. Loki looked up at Thor, pain spread across his face as he witnessed his golden brother's disgusted expression.
