Loki walked slowly through the street. The rain was falling heavily on him but the trickster wouldn't care less about it. They let the cold water soak their clothes, making them stick to his skin. The god had no idea how much time it took him to get to your house. He put his hand up to knock but hesitated. What if you didn’t want them here? How could he explain why he came to you in the first place of all the people. Besides it has been weeks since you last saw each other. Let’s not forget that it was 3 in the morning. 

Loki was conflicted. He couldn't go back to the comprout. He didn’t want to be there after this mission. Everyone was giving him pity looks and Loki couldn’t stand it. That’s what he liked about you, you never pitied him. Maybe that’s why they were standing at your front door at 3 am in the rain. The trickster was about to go away and wander around for a while longer when you opened the door out of blue.

“Come in or you’ll get sick,” you greeted him. It was dark but he still noticed the bags under your eyes “I was in the kitchen and saw you standing here” you let him in and continued “You know I love spending my precious time with you but what in the hell are you doing here so late.” Loki was standing awkwardly in your hallway. He didn’t want to wet your floors and give you more unnecessary work. And you were obviously tired. They felt bad for coming to you but at the same time relieved they were  with you. Loki knew you wanted answers but he wasn’t ready to talk about it. Fortunately you understood it and didn’t pressure them for more. “Oh my god, you must be cold!” your tired brain was slowly processing your surroundings and what was going on “Go to the bathroom and take those wet clothes off. I will give you something to wear.” 

Loki wanted to protest and say that it was alright but both of you knew it wasn’t. He walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. They undressed while you made them some tea and then went to your bedroom to find them something else to wear. He looked at himself in the mirror and examined the wounds from today’s mission. His fingers gently touched the stitches on his left side and he noticed a bruise on his thigh that hadn’t been there before. Loki was thinking about what had happened when you knocked on the door. 

“I had some clothes you have left here last time” your sweet voice pulled the god out of their mind. “I will leave it on the floor and go to the kitchen.” you announced and slowly walked away leaving Loki alone with his thoughts again. 

They sighted heavily and opened the door to pick up the clothes. There was a chocolate bar on top of it which made him smile. That’s another thing Loki liked about you. You always managed to make them smile. And you always had his favourite chocolate in your cabinet.

The god glanced one more time at his reflection with disgust and put the clothes on. He then proceeded to make his way to your kitchen where you have been already waiting for him. They sat down on a stool and you handed the trickster the tea you made.

“Thank you.” Loki said, giving you a sad smile. He realised he hadn’t said a word until now. You obviously had questions but he feared he couldn’t give you any answers. He then opened the chocolade bar you have given him and took a bite. 

You were watching him, carefully thinking what you should say. You knew the mission went, well, not good. Wanda wouldn't tell you much but  she mentioned that this one was very hard for Loki. 

“I don’t think I want to sleep anymore and it doesn’t look like you’re tired either,” you broke the silence “how about we go sit on the couch and watch a movie?” you proposed. Loki only nodded and you two moved to your living room. He put his tea on the coffee table and sat down. “What do you want to watch?” you turned to them and asked “I’ll let you choose this time” You handed him the remote and they hesitantly took it. He opened your Netflix and looked through your list.

“How about this one?” he pointed at the screen 

“I haven't seen WALL-E in a long time” you announced “It’s amazing, you will love it” 

Loki clicked the play button and leaned his back further into the soft cushions. His eyes were glued to the screen but his mind was elsewhere. You took a blanket that was hanging over the armchair and unfolded it. You put it on Loki’s lap and motioned them to lay their head on your lap. You knew he loved when you played with his hair. The god hesitated but did as you asked. Some time passed and you were gently scratching his head when Loki decided to break the silence.

“The mission went not quite as planned” they said quietly

“Wanda told me it was bad” 

“I messed up,” the god declared. Your hand moved from his hair to his cheek and  softly caressed his skin. Loki was fighting the tears but you could hear the pain in their voice. “We were supposed to rescue some people from one of the hydra bases” they continued “and among them was a little girl” he swallowed heavily and closed his eyes so the tears wouldn’t escape them “And she was so scared. And I-I told her�� I PROMISED her I would get her out of there” a quiet sob left Loki’s lips and you leaned down to embrace him. They didn’t pull away and let you hold him. “But then so many things happened and I tried, I really did try to protect her” he continued as you wiped his tears away “She trusted me and I failed” Loki whispered and hugged you back. You only held them tighter and let the god cry their eyes out.

“It’s not your fault, Loki” you reassured him, rocking your bodies from left to right, occasionally kissing his head “It really isn’t” 

“I failed her” he repeated, choking on his tears. The trickster felt terrible. How was he supposed to be a hero when he can’t save people. What if they wouldn't be able to save you?  He didn’t care about the bruises and scars. Warriors had them and they were one.

“I’m so sorry, Loki.” you whispered. Pulling away from their embrace you took his face in your hands and kissed his  forehead. “I know it’s hard for you but I want you to know that I’m always here to help you through it, ok?”

“Thank you” they sniffled. “Thank you so much” You rubbed their shoulders affectionately until he calmed down

You two haven’t spoken any words after that. You held Loki as he was falling asleep. This conversation drained their energy completely. There were still many things Loki wanted to tell you but they will be answered another day.

**Lokis POV**

Loki stared at the screen, a mixture of anger and annoyance on his face as the aggravated alien yelled at him through the screen. Just one of the many enemies Loki had made along the years.

“You have betrayed me one too many times!” the alien seethed “And you have taken from me, stolen from me, and now I think I should do the same to you!” 

Loki let out a smirk, shaking his head “I assure you, there is nothing you could take from me that would hurt me”

“Oh really?” the alien sneered, his teeth showing with a dangerously confident smile.

Loki felt his heart jump slightly in his chest, surely he couldn’t have found anything to hurt him with? 

“Because I heard a little rumor floating around, that you found a little friend on Midgard, one you care for rather deeply” the alien let out a chuckle.

Loki tried hard to hide the fear he felt swell in his chest. Your face crossed through his mind. Surely they didn’t know about you, they couldn’t, how could they? Did they have allies, spies, on Midgard? 

Loki feigned an innocent expression, filling his voice with as much confidence as he would as he stared into the eyes of his enemy “I do not know of any rumors, but I can assure you that there is no one on Midgard I would deem worthy of my time” he lied. 

The alien moved closer to the screen, his eyes boring into Loki’s “We will see about that” 

Before Loki could respond, the screen went black as the transmission ended, leaving Loki alone on his ship as he stared out at the vast space before him. Only one thought crossing his mind. 

He needed to get to you before they did. He needed to save you. 

**Readers POV**

“What?” you asked with surprise, your heart leaping in your chest.

“You heard right” Fury said as he paced in front of you “We got word from Strange that Loki is on Earth”

You tried to process the information, “Why would he come back to Earth? And why doesn’t Stephen just trap him?”

Fury shook his head “Apparently Loki has cast some sort of spell to hide his whereabouts from Strange, and as for your other question, I have no idea. But apparently it’s got to be very important if he is risking getting captured” 

You sighed as you stared at the table you were sitting at. You had feelings for Loki, no matter how much you shouldn’t, you couldn’t help it. Working with Thor off world on occasion, you found a soft spot for his troublesome brother. Though you weren’t sure how he really felt about you. There was flirting, sure, and sometimes he even seemed to care about you. But he was still hard to figure out. 

Breaking from your thoughts you looked back up at Fury “Have you been able to get into contact with Thor?” 

Fury shook his head “Nope. And we have no leads on where he, or where Loki is or why he’s here, so, since you know him, at least more than most of my agents, I’m going to need you to keep your eyes and ears out. If whatever he needs or wants is important, he might come to you”

You nodded your head as Fury dismissed you. As you walked down the hallway your mind was filled with curiosity and questions. Why would Loki come to Earth? What was happening? 

These thoughts plagued you for the rest of the day, even as you sat at your kitchen counter, unable to focus on anything else. You weren’t sure how long you were sitting there before sudden knocking at your door made you jump in surprise. 

You don’t know how, but you knew it was him. It was as if you could feel his presence. You didn’t need to ask who was there, or look through the peephole to know. It was him, you froze in your seat for a moment, unsure of what to do.

Loki knocks on your door again, bringing with him a sense of urgency. Something has gone wrong. What is it? How do you handle it? Is Loki coming to you first, or are you the last resort?

Making a decision, you rose from your seat, making your way to the door, unsure of what string of events was going to play out once you opened the door. As you did, you were almost surprised to see a look of relief cross over Loki’s face when his eyes met your own.

And you felt a weird sense of relief knowing you were right about it being him at the door. But that feeling faded quickly when your mind filled with questions. 

“What are you doing here?” 

Loki was startled at your greeting, no sense of surprise, as if you knew he was going to come. You must have found out he was on Earth. You must have known he would come to you. 

Saying nothing he walked past you into your apartment, his eyes wondering around, noticing the small personal touches that made this your home.

“I’ve made a mistake and I am afraid you are going to be the one to pay the price” he turned and faced you after he spoke.

You hesitated for a moment after processing his words “What the hell does that mean? What have you gotten yourself into Loki?” you asked as you approached him.

He looked down at you, taking a deep breath as he tried to figure out how to word what he needed to. 

“I have...enemies. Many enemies; and they found out that I had an...allegiance with someone on Earth, and I think it’s you, well it has to be you, it certainly isn’t Bruce. They threatened to come take you, to...kill you, I assume.”

“Me? What, to get back at you for something? Why would they think I was important enough to hurt you by killing me?” 

Your words seemed to sting him. Of course you did not know how he felt. Besides the flirty banter, he never truly showed how much he cared for you. When he spoke next, his voice was so soft and sincere it seemed to cut right through you “Because you are important. To me. You are my weakness” 

He watched you closely as you opened your mouth to speak, only for nothing to come out, surely due to the surprise of his confession. Finally you managed to mutter out a few words “But, why me?” 

Loki let out a soft chuckle “How could it not be you? Besides my brother, you are the only other being in this whole universe I truly care for” he took a step closer to you, looking down into your eyes. Your breath hitched as he did this “And I need to keep you safe” 

You stared into his eyes for a moment; the tension being cut-off by the sound of gruff voices from the hallway. Both yours and Loki’s heads snapped in the direction of your door. The voices outside clearly not speaking any human language. 

Moving quickly to a nearby cabinet, you grabbed your hidden weapon. Loki quickly grabbed your wrist as he pulled you towards the window “It’s best we escape without being seen”

Opening the window, you both stared down, seeing the clear alleyway as you both climbed out to escape. Landing on the ground, you were taken by surprise when you were grabbed from behind.

Reacting quickly, you threw the alien away from you, with one swift motion Loki knocked it out before running past you, grabbing your hand and pulling you along. 

“Where are we going?!” 

“I have a ship hidden nearby” 

After running through various alleys, you entered into a large empty lot behind some old warehouses. Seeing Loki tap something on the device around his wrist, you saw a small ship become visible in front of you. 

Quickly boarding the ship you watched the city below you become smaller and smaller as you began to fly off. Loki quickly fleeing towards the sky.

“Are we leaving earth?” you asked as you stood behind him in the pilots chair. 

“Yes. I know somewhere safe we can go” after setting the course he rose from his seat and turned to you. He met your eyes, he could see the apprehension in your gaze. Did you still not fully trust him? 

“Fury is going to be so mad” you finally commented as you looked out at the now darkening sky as you left Earths atmosphere.

Loki smirked lightly “I’m sure he will understand”

“I’m still not sure I do” you admitted quietly with a scoff. 

Loki studied you for a moment before he placed his hands on your shoulders, looking deeply into your eyes “Understand this” he hesitated for a moment “I truly care for your well being, and as much as you may not trust me, I will do my best to finish this, so that you can return home. Because I was telling the truth before, you mean more to me than I think I was willing to admit to myself.” He lifted his hand, stroking your cheek before he leaned down, pressing a soft quick kiss to your lips “I only ever want you to be safe.”

Your chest felt heavy, as you stared into his eyes “You’re wrong” you saw a flash of panic cross his face before you continued “I do trust you.” Relief crossed his face as he realized what you were saying. “And I believe you. And...I feel the same.” you admitted, feeling the weight on your chest seem to lift “And whatever you’ve gotten both of us into? I intend to help you fix.”

A smile spread slowly across Loki’s face as you spoke. Pressing a kiss to your forehead he looked back into your eyes “Let’s finish this then.”
