Coffee Coffee Coffee

Pairing: Loki x female reader (Y/N)

Summary: Your over protective boyfriend, Loki, finds out you haven't eaten anything today and he's not happy about it but in your defense, you did have coffee.

A/N: I didn't even have coffee today so it's weird that this is in my brain lol... enjoy 💚

A series of knocks pulls your attention from the email you are typing and you check the clock in the corner of the screen. There's only one person who could be looking for you this late, the rest of your team went home a little over an hour ago.

You rub your eyes and get up from your desk, "Come in, Loki."

The door opens and the God of Mischief enters, "Hello darling." He meets you in the middle of your office and pulls you into a tight hug.

You reach up and kiss his lips lightly, pulling away much too soon for Loki's liking. He smirks, "Well now that won't do."

"No?" you ask with a smile.

He shakes his head no. You reach up again and as he leans to me you, you change direction slightly so you kiss his cheek. A giggle escapes you as Loki's hands move down to your hips and he pulls you flush against his body. His left hand raises to your cheek and he tilts your head up gently, then he presses his lips firmly to yours. His hand grips your hip tighter and you give into his kiss.

"I'm still working," you tell him breathlessly when your lips finally leave his.

"You work too hard," he tells you as he lets go of you.

He walks towards one of the empty chairs facing you desk and takes a seat. You move past him to sit behind you desk but he gently catches your wrist. Pulling lightly, he brings you towards him and lifts you onto his lap so you are facing him.

"I missed you today," he tells you in a low voice, his hands settle on your lower back.

"I missed you too, I'm sorry I had to cancel our lunch. Today has been awful," you wave towards your desk which is stacked high with files.

"Will you be much longer?" he asks, tucking a piece of hair behind you ear.

You shrug, "Hopefully only another hour. I just need to finish-". Your stomach rumbles, cutting into your sentence and you cringe when you can see in his eyes that he heard it.

"Did you eat anything today?" he asks in response to the sound.

"I had coffee," you answer quickly and immediately know that was the wrong answer.

His fingers drum rhythmically on your hip and he asks, "Did you at least drink any water?"

"Yea a little," you nod but he raises his eyebrow skeptically. "I mean, there's water in coffee."

He groans, his hand raising to cover his eyes. You hold back a giggle, knowing it won't help your situation. "Why are you like this?" he asks in a half joking tone.

You smile wide and shrug, "I like coffee."

"I can see that darling," he says, shaking his head lightly to hide a smile. "Dare I ask how many cups you've had today?"

You pretend to think for a moment then begin to count on your fingers, "One, two, three, four, five-"

"Y/N," he stops you.

"Only two," you answer.

"Are you sure?" he asks in a tone that means he clearly does not believe you.

You look away from his gaze but he touches your chin and guides your eyes back to his. "Four... but they were hours apart," you tell him honestly.

He shakes his head, "Love, you can't survive on coffee alone."

"That's literally how I made it through college," you inform him and cross your arms against your chest.

Without another word, he lifts you off his lap and sets you down so he can get up. "What-" you start to ask but he takes your hand and begins to move towards the door. "Where are we going? I still have work to do," you tell him.

"We're going to get dinner," he says as he opens the door.

You suddenly realize how hungry you are and follow him out into the hallway. "Ooh, can we get dessert too?" you ask with a smile.

He nods, "Of course, darling."

"And coffee?" you ask half joking.

"I think you've had enough coffee for the week," he answers as he pushes the button for the elevator.

I hope you liked this!! Please like, share and comment if you did 💚💚

Ok but the fact that Tom says this in 2013,

then goes on to be an Executive Producer for the Loki series, where Sylvie asks Loki this exact question [what do you want?] in s2e5.

I love full-circle moments.

Loki's Silent Sentry (alt. ending Part 1)

Part 2

This is meant to be read after part 2, instead of the original parts 3 - 7

**Seriously please do not read this without reading the trigger warnings**

TW: fire, life threatening injury, blood, death of a main character (if you message me I will tell you who in case that will change if you read this or not), mourning the loss of a loved one, loss of a family member, having to mourn in secret, depression, feeling alone, brief mentions of previous loss of parents, inability to move on, guilt

(Please let me know if I missed anything and I will add it)

A/N: I wrote the fluffy, happy ending for this story but I got this song (tagged below) stuck in my head and it felt like a really tragic way to end this story. The idea just kept getting more depressing and heartbreaking so I had to write it. I understand this is not for everyone, it's not even something I would usually read.

Please, please do not feel the need to read this because we are mutuals or because you read the happy ending version. I will absolutely not be offended if you skip it.

...Last chance to turn back lol 🫣

You close your eyes as he pulls you tighter to him, you are sure he can feel your heart pounding in your chest. "Are you really here?" you ask in a whisper. You fear he will vanish like one of his illusions the second you let go of him.

"I'm here my love," he reassures you. He kisses the top of your head and you look up at him. "Follow me," he says in a low voice.

You smile and nod, telling him, "You know I will follow you anywhere."

He takes your hand and leads you into the room he came out of. You can see he has been busy with his magic, his abilities have always thrilled and impressed you. The magically altered office is twice as large inside as it should be and is an exact replica of his chambers. You look around in awe and can't help but wonder if this isn't an illusion but one of his transportation spells.

He smiles with pride at your reaction and puts his arm around your waist, pulling you close to him again.

"How did you do all of this?" you ask. "Its amazing... you're amazing," you tell him as you turn in his arms to face him.

"I'm afraid the young corporal spent has a large portion of her time this week dutifully guarding my empty office," he jokes and you laugh with him.

He smiles and kisses you, his hands traveling up and down the back of your thin shirt as he hold you close. "Stay here with me tonight," he says between kisses. He doesn't say it as a prince ordering his sentry but you obey his request without a second thought.

It is almost five months since your new Sunday night routine with Loki began. He would slip through the palace with ease after he dismissed his sentry for the night and you would take a left at the top of the stairs after his mother released you.

While hidden away, surrounded by his illusion, the two of you could pretend everything was perfect. You love him with all of your heart and he loves you back just as fiercely. He would kiss you and hold you and tell you that you were his but the moment the sun came up, everything would change. You always did your best to hold back your emotions as you put your armor on and returned to your silent duties.

It devastated you every time you needed to leave him but you kept your pain to yourself. You were afraid to ruin the small window of time you had with wishes and false hope that things could somehow be different.

You stand silently outside of the queen's office and let the smallest smile slip when you notice Loki coming down the hall. He offers you a brief smirk in return as he comes to a stop in front of you.

"Lieutenant Y/L/N, is my mother in a meeting?" he asks you.

"No, your highness," you respond, shaking your head slightly.

"I would like to speak with her for a moment," he tells you and you nod.

After knocking on the door, you wait for her to open it then step out of Loki's way. As he passes you, he carefully slips a folded piece of paper into your palm and you close it quickly. He goes inside, pausing for barely a moment to lock eyes with you before closing the door behind him.

You return to your position next to her door and tuck away the note for later, Loki's sentry stands at attention on the other side. You glance over at him quickly, you recognize him but can't recall his name. He had only graduated the academy a month ago, he was far too new to be guarding someone of Loki's standing but that was precisely why he had been selected. Loki had taken to choosing soldiers with limited experience and often replaced them every few weeks. He said he did this so they were less likely to notice he was slipping away to visit you but you joked that it was because he would never be able to find a sentry to fill your place.

The door opens fifteen minutes later and both the queen and Loki step out into the hall. She closes the door behind her and says, "Prince Loki is going to visit the blacksmith and I've decided to get some fresh air and go with him."

You and Loki's sentry nod to acknowledge the plan. You both follow mother and son down several hallways and winding staircases until you finally reach the steps leading to the courtyard. As you step out into the sun, you take a deep breath and close your eyes for a quick moment. The palace air could be stale at times and you always welcomed a chance to spend even a few minutes during the week outside.

Its almost a twenty minute walk to the blacksmiths, past the stables and a well used for the horses. The apprentice steps out of the one story wooden structure to pick up a few cords of wood that are stacked neatly out front. He opens the door and yells something to the man inside, presumably that the queen and prince are coming. He opens the door and bows his head as they walk past to enter, you smile at him a bit to hopefully help ease the young boy's nerves.

The blacksmith bows to Loki and the queen as they enter and the boy shuts the door once you are all inside. You can't help but look around, you've never been in here before but Loki had told you about his frequent visits. You can feel the heat from the tall fires of the forge off to your left and the breeze that flows through the open windows at the far end of the building. Large timber rafters line the steeply pitched roof and a small rainbow shines onto the sawdust covered floor, caused by the colored glass in the door.

Your attention is drawn back to Loki, as it always is when he is near. He begins talking to the older man, the apprentice's father you assume due to how similar they look. They discuss the knives Loki had previously ordered, a set of two daggers with black leather handles and gold inlays in the shape of a coiled snake. You try not to smile at how obviously Loki his request is.

Your focus shifts to the apprentice, he can't be older than nine or ten you think. He takes something from his father and brings it to the office space in the back then returns with a wooden box containing different types of metal to select from. The queen joins in the conversation with her son and Loki's sentry leans against the wall near an open window, staring off into the forest beyond.

You keep your eye on the boy, watching him run from one errand to the next for his father. He brings things to him and is waved off to find something else, only to do it again. In between helping gather the materials, he continues to feed the forge. He has added at least four logs since you arrived, surly that was plenty to keep the fire raging, you think but truthfully you know little about blade work and forging swords.

Several more minutes pass, Loki and his mother are deeply engaged in conversation with the blacksmith who has easily convinced Loki to get a second set of knives. His sentry has disappeared into his own little world while you continue to observe everyone quietly as you stand near the door.

You stretch a bit and cover your mouth as a yawn slips free, you should really stop reading until the sun comes up, you scold yourself. Suddenly you stand up straighter and sniff the air again, breathing deeply. You can't quite place the smell but the heat from the forge has gotten stronger. Your eyes immediately find the boy who is frozen with fear as he looks into the fire.

Blue flames erupt from the metal and stone enclosure of the forge.

Without thinking, you move to the young boy and grab him by the arm, pulling him away from the rapidly growing flames. Once his feet start moving, you push him in the direction of the door and look for the queen. As soon as your gaze is away from the forge you hear metal grinding and a loud crack as the chimney buckles under the sudden and immense increase in temperature.

You look back to see the fire spark and spit embers onto the sawdust spread over the floor. Walking backwards from the forge, your eyes move up as the fire spreads to the roof of the structure. Smoke quickly begins to fill the air and your eyes sting as you fight to keep them open. You watch in horror as one of the rafters on the ceiling splinters from the flames and you run towards the queen, you know the building won't be standing much longer.

You keep your arm around her waist until you've guided her safety outside. She takes a few steps away from you and sits heavily on the grass, coughing from the smoke. You look back towards the burning building, the roof already partially collapsed as the trusses are destroyed by the flames.

Smoke billows out of the open door and you quickly turn to count that everyone is out. The queen, the blacksmith, his son, Loki's sentry... but not Loki.

"Loki!" you scream, scanning the field in front of you in the hopes that you somehow missed him. You rush to his sentry who is on his hands and knees coughing and gasping for fresh air. "Where is he!?" you demand.

He shakes his head and doesn't respond, you grab his arm and pull forcefully, making him look up at you. You can see the fearful tears in his eyes but his feelings are not your concern, not while Loki is still missing. "Private, where is the prince?!"

"I don't know," he cries. "I just- I just ran- I don't-" you let go of his arm and turn from him, unable to listen to his excuses.

You look back to the fully engulfed building and without a moments hesitation, you run through the open door.

"Loki!" you call for him, you cough painfully as you inhale the ash and smoke. You crouch and shield your eyes as the glass in one of the windows near you shatters. "Loki!" you scream as loud as your lungs will allow. You move forward, towards where he had been when you last saw him with his mother.

You cough harder as the flames surround you and you get low to crawl under the ever thickening smoke. "Loki!" you scream again, your heart racing as tears stream down your cheeks, making it harder to see.

"Y/N," you hear Loki faintly over the crackling of the fire and get up to run towards his voice.

Your heart pounds in your chest when you see him, trapped under part of a collapsed beam. He struggles to lift the large piece of wood, it's edges blackened by the flames growing closer. You grab the end of the beam nearest to Loki and lift while he pushes, it moves but not enough. Your grip slips and he screams in pain from the sudden movement. Your eyes fix on the blood that slowly starts to gather at the corners of his mouth, adjusting your grip you get ready to try again.

Before you and Loki can make a second attempt, a nearby section of the roof collapses. You instinctively use your own body as protection against the falling debris shielding his face and upper body, you hold back a cry as ash falls onto the exposed skin on the back of your neck.

"Y/N, please get out of here," he tells you, his voice hoarse when you sit up.

You shake your head no and tell him, "I won't leave without. Help me lift this."

Again, he pushes with what little strength he has left and you pull with every bit of strength you can gather. The beam moves enough that you can free him. You grab Loki under his arms and pull, he cries out every inch until he is fully clear of the beam. It devastates you to cause him pain but you have no choice. You wipe your tears on your arm and without letting go of him, you tell him you are sorry but you can't stop. You know if you do, neither of you will make it out.

You lay Loki on the grass behind the burning building, ignoring the sound of a wall giving way and kneel next to him. His fingers are dripping with blood as he reaches for you.

"Y/N," he says softly but you shake your head and avoid his gaze. You are too scared to look at him, you know he wants to tell you goodbye.

"I need to stop the bleeding," you say with as much determination and hope as you can force. You move to check his chest wounds and your heart shatters, your mind spins in shock and disbelief as you rip open the rest of his torn and bloody shirt. "No no no," you mumble to yourself in denial.

You move your hands to his chest in desperation, trying to cover the largest break in his skin but his fingers close softly around your wrist, keeping you from touching his wounds. Looking into his eyes, in a gentle tone he simply says, "Stop." His grip on your wrist loosens but you can't accept that there is nothing you can do for him.

You shake your head no again, "Please Loki..."

He tries his best to smile but the blood in his mouth makes him cough violently. You move so you can gently rest his head on your lap and you run your fingers through his hair damp. He raises his hand again to stroke your cheek and you close your eyes at his touch.

"Y/N," he says just above a whisper and you lean closer to hear him. "I knew you would come for me," he coughs and spits out a bit of blood. "You always followed me..." his voice trails off.

You smile through your tears and tell him, "I will follow you anywhere, I promised you that I would."

He continues to slowly stroke your cheek, wiping away your tears but leaving a light trail of his blood, "I'm sorry my love, but where I go now you cannot follow."

"No, Loki please," you cry, "I love you."

"I will always love you Y/N, more than anything in the nine realms," he says softly as his breath grows still and shallow.

"Stay with me," you plead, taking his hand in yours. "You're all I have left. Please stay with me," you beg him. "I love you. Please don't go, Loki, please."

His fingers slip from yours and you look down at his lifeless body, your chest tightens as you struggle to breath. You feel as if your heart is physically breaking, the pain is unbearable and consuming. "I'm so sorry Loki," you apologize over and over. "I was supposed to protect you, I should have protected you. I'm sorry, please."

"Loki! Loki!" the queen's voice rips through your grief and guilt as the rest of the building collapses, the fire still raging. You look up and see Frigga running towards her son, her eyes full of fear which turns to anguish as they met yours.

Getting up, you walk slowly backwards, your body on autopilot as you distance yourself from mother and son. She let's out an agonizing scream, a sound you will never forget, as she falls to her knees next to her youngest son. She cradles him in her arms and kisses his forehead, whispering to him as she rocks slowly.

You stand motionless a few feet from Loki's body and his mother, your breathing becoming more ragged as your chest tightens. You barely register the dozen or so workers who struggle to keep the fire from spreading across the field or the soldiers running with Thor.

"Mother! Loki!" Thor calls as he sprints around what is left of the building, desperately searching for his family. He gets closer and stops suddenly when he sees his younger brother laying in his mother's arms.

Frigga looks over her shoulder and Thor begins to slowly walk towards her, you can do nothing but watch his expression change as the reality of what he is seeing hits him. As he gets closer, she looks back down at Loki, wiping away some of the blood from his face gently. Thor kneels besides her, his hand on her back and she quietly says, "Loki is gone."

Your knees buckle at her words and you collapse onto the grass. You cover your face with your hands as your body shakes violently from the force of your sobs.

Loki is gone, your thoughts echo the queen's words. Loki is gone and it is your fault, your guilt adds. Loki is gone and you couldn't save him. Loki is gone but he shouldn't be. Loki is gone but you were supposed to give your life for his. Loki is gone.

You stand at attention in the center of the throne room in front of the royal family, the council and every high ranking officer from the royal guard. You keep your eyes straight ahead, focusing on a small detail on the wall beyond Odin as he speaks. You are too afraid to look anywhere else but slowly your focus drifts to the queen and where Loki used to stand.

She holds Thor's arm for support, her gaze fixed to the marble floor beneath her. Your chest aches at the sight of the queen in her black mourning gown and you hate yourself for wishing you could wear one as well.

This morning, every soldier in the royal guard was given a thin black piece of fabric to tie around their arm in memory of the lost prince. For five minutes, you struggled to tie it properly before a fellow sentry finally offered to help you. The members of your unit and palace staff no longer made mocking comments about the favoritism Loki showed for you but they would never understand the depth of your grief.

As a sentry, it was against protocol for you to show any emotion while on duty and that was especially true in your case. As far as the king and council were concerned, you meant nothing to Loki and it was made clear to you yesterday that you were not to mourn for him publicly. A part of you didn't care, what could they do to punish you that was worse then the hell you were currently living in. You didn't have the strength to disobey the king, however, it took every ounce of strength you had to simply get out of bed each morning. So here you stand, surrounded by nearly a hundred people, trying with all your might to keep from falling completely and utterly apart.

Frigga slowly looks up and your breath catches when you see the tears in her eyes. She doesn't seem to see you though, it is almost as if she is looking through you, her mind unfocused on the ceremony taking place.

You force yourself to pay attention to Odin as he continues his speech about what is being called "a tragic accident". The phrase sounds like nails scrapped across metal to you and you brace yourself so as not to shiver every time you hear it.

You were still not sure what exactly caused the fire to burn uncontrollably but it was quickly determined that the boy meant no one harm. He and his father had been cleared by the council of any wrong doing and were granted a small sum to rebuild their forge. You wish the boy well and hope he isn't being plagued by nightmares as you are.

Loki's sentry, however, is to be sentenced this afternoon. The day after the fire, he was brought up on numerous charges and subsequently dishonorably discharged from the royal guard. You had stood as a witness at his hearing, forced to recount every detail of that horrific day.

You hear Odin droning on but your mind can't seem to absorb what he is saying. You continue to watch him though, knowing it's almost time for you to play the part of the noble hero.

He gestures for you to step forward and you follow his command, kneeling when you are just a few steps from him. He walks towards you and says, "Lieutenant Y/L/N, you are being awarded the Medal of Royal Protection for your actions during the tragic accident three days ago. This honor is bestowed upon sentries who have risked their lives to save, and attempt to save, a member of the royal family. Thanks to your bravery, my wife, Asgard's queen was escorted to safety."

He pauses, his eyes finding Frigga before he turns back to the crowd of soldiers and council members gathered around you. "We are all heartbroken over the loss of Prince Loki. My son's life was woefully cut short... far too short," his voice trails off for a moment and you think he may let his emotions show but he clears his throatand continues. "But that does not overshadow your extraordinary act of heroism. You risked your life by going into a burning building and in doing so, you have given us the chance to say goodbye to Prince Loki properly, which is what he deserves."

Your throat feels like it is closing, your eyes sting as you fight desperately to keep the gathering tears from slipping free. Your head pounds as you prepare to receive a medal for saving the queen but not saving Loki.

"Lieutenant Y/L/N," he motions for you to stand. He takes a round golden medal with a red ribbon from a council member and pins it to your dress uniform. "Asgard and I thank you for your continued commitment to protecting and serving the royal family," he says and you feel nauseated by the applause that spreads through the throne room.

This is the song that inspired me, if you listen to the end you will see why. Again... I'm sorry to everyone who reads this that I hurt you but I just needed to get this story out of my head. If you want the happy ending version please read the original part 3 (linked at the top) 💙💙

The Redbridge Hunts, Chapter 49

‘You’ve brought the hunt forward?’ Claire asked, eyes wide.

‘Not forward, no. Just decided to hold one on Halloween. I don’t know why I never thought about it before, it’s the perfect night for it.’ He grinned and leaned in towards her, sniffing at her neck. ‘Would be a shame, really. To chuck you out there for any vampire to get hold of you… Though there’s no fun in just having you here.’ He growled low.

‘Loki will kill you.’ Claire blurted out.

Chris chuckled. ‘He can try.’

‘Why would you want to hurt him so much? You know if you put me out there, it will break his heart. What happened with you two? Why can’t you just… get along. He doesn’t want to take your job, I know that this is what’s causing you to do this. You’re angry and upset, I understand that. So will he. He doesn’t want it.’

‘I am NOT upset.’ Chris snapped and stepped backwards, still glaring at her and his jaw was clenched. He slowly started pacing back and fore on front of her. ‘Not that I’d expect you to understand, or him. Such an ungrateful bastard he is.’ He hissed.

Claire frowned. ‘Try me. I understand more than you think. I understand that you love your job, that deep down you care about your students and even the teachers. I know how broken you were when we lost Jeremy. The way you fought for your school, are you really going to just throw it all away by sending me out there into the hunt? You know that Loki really would make sure that your job was no more if you do this. Is hurting him in this way really worth losing your job?’

‘I’ve lost it anyway.’ He snapped.

‘No, you haven’t. You’re not listening to anyone, you can appeal it. Loki will too, and so will I!’

‘Why would you both do that, hmm? You don’t care about me, no one does. No one ever has and no one ever will.’ Chris growled.

‘Of course, we care. You think so little of your brother, but he was mouthing along to your band at the festival in the summer. I don’t know what happened between you too that caused such a rift, aside from turning him against his wishes, but deep down I know he still loves you.’ Claire said softly.

For a second, she thought she saw remorse and a slight glimmer of regret in Chris’ eyes, but his face hardened again and the scowl was back.

‘Enough. He doesn’t love me. He hasn’t since the day I turned him.’ Chris started circling around Claire again, trying to intimidate her more.

‘Why did you turn him? I mean, that was a pretty asshole thing to do. Turning your brother against his will.’

She heard Chris’ footsteps stop behind her abruptly. There was silence for a second, then he started laughing rather manically. She tried to look round, confused. Though Chris suddenly grabbed her neck and forced her head right back to look at him as he leered down at her from above.

‘He hasn’t told you the truth about what happened that day, has he?’ He snarled.

Claire’s fear spiked a bit at his action, though she tried to shake her head, as best she could in his grip. He laughed again and let go of her, much to her relief. He stalked around to her front again, but perched against the table.

Claire noticed that his fangs had finally retracted, which gave her a tiny bit of hope.

‘Of course he hasn’t. He needs to keep up appearances of me being the bad guy.’

‘What does that mean?’ Claire asked.

Chris narrowed his eyes at her, just stared at her, deep in thought for a moment. ‘Do you really want to know the truth?’

‘Of course.’ Claire nodded quickly. ‘Though, please could you untie me first? My nose is itchy as fuck. And we both know that I have no chance of getting out of here without you catching me.’ She pleaded.

Chris raised an eyebrow at her, in slight amusement, but made no motion to move.

‘Please, Chris. Either untie me or scratch my nose yourself. I can’t concentrate properly with it.’ She grumbled at him.

Chris let out an irritated sigh as he stood up and strolled over behind her, he untied her and she straight away scratched her nose while groaning. ‘Ah thank god… Ok, please tell me what happened that day.’

Chris went back to his place by the table and folded his arms over his chest.

‘Things were tense between Loki and I, they had been since Loki found out about me and Lucius being vampires. Though he struggled with the fact that I refused to go down the blood bank route, like Lucius. So Lucius thought taking us out to lunch together might help us bond again…’

Lucius had taken Loki and Chris out to lunch one afternoon, to their favourite restaurant. He tried to get the brothers to talk, like they used to. Though it was a tense lunch. After they’d eaten, Lucius wanted dessert. Though the brothers didn’t want any.

‘I need to go. Thanks for lunch.’ Chris said gruffly to Lucius as he stood up.

Loki kept quiet, he was still torn over his big brother and what to think of him after learning the truth. He had always looked up to him, he loved him to pieces. He still did, he just wasn’t sure if he could handle the thought of him feeding from people…

Loki noticed when Chris stepped outside, he seemed to sniff the air and instead of heading towards his home, he made his way down the street in the opposite direction.

‘I’ll be back in a minute, dad. Just going to the toilet.’ Loki said quickly to Lucius, who nodded and stayed put, while reading the dessert menu.

Loki went outside and followed Chris down the street a bit. Chris then turned abruptly down an alley, Loki followed him but kept his distance so Chris wouldn’t see him. As Loki turned down the alley, he noticed Chris went up to a man that was out the back of a shop having a smoking break.

Chris never said anything to the man, he just lunged straight at him, pinned him against the wall and sank his fangs into his neck.

Loki stared in utter horror as he saw blood drip down between Chris and the man. He couldn’t believe his big brother was willingly feeding from an innocent man. Worse still, he drank so much from the man that he collapsed at Chris’ feet when Chris was finished with him.

Chris licked his lips and took a step backwards, but that’s when he spotted Loki in his peripheral vision. He whipped his head round and his eyes widened, his fangs retracted straight away and his face softened.

‘Loki!'

Loki’s eyes filled with tears and he shook his head back and fore quickly as he started taking steps backwards.

‘Loki… This isn’t what it looks like… Let me explain, brother.’ Chris said in a panic as he started moving towards him.

‘No… no, no, no.’ Loki cried out and turned around to run away from him.

Chris wiped the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand, then ran after Loki. He continued to call out for him.

Loki ran straight out from the alley and onto the road, he momentarily stopped and turned to face Chris who ran after him.

‘Brother… Please, let’s talk!’ Chris shouted.

Chris had never seen Loki look so scared and pained before, the tears rolled down his cheeks. He turned and went to run again, but suddenly a blue car slammed into him. Chris’ eyes widened and it felt like time stopped as he saw his little brother being smashed along the road.

The woman driving hadn’t been paying attention, she was on her phone. Even though Loki shouldn’t have been on the road in the first place, not looking at the traffic. She froze in utter horror when she realised she’d hit someone.

‘LOKI!’ Chris bolted over to Loki, he fell to his knees next to him and lifted his upper body onto his lap, cradling his head. There was blood everywhere, Loki’s left leg was clearly broken as it was twisted the wrong way round, and the blood loss was mainly from Loki’s head.

‘No, no… Loki. Lil’ bro. Stay with me. Don’t you dare leave me.’ Chris cried, his vision turned blurry from his tears as he watched his brother dying in his arms, he could sense his heartbeat slowing down rapidly. The sounds from everyone else around, people screaming and shouting for help, someone calling for an ambulance, Chris heard none of it, it was just a blur.

‘Loki…’ Chris sobbed. He gritted his teeth, he couldn’t let this happen. He knew that Loki was against turning into a vampire, he’d made it very clear to both Lucius and Chris, but he couldn’t lose his little brother. He just couldn’t.

‘I’m sorry… Please forgive me, Loki. I have to.’ He whispered and when he sensed his heartbeat become really slow, his fangs emerged and he quickly pierced into Loki’s neck. He ejected some venom into Loki’s blood stream, then Chris tore into his own wrist to make himself bleed.

Chris parted Loki’s lips as he held his wrist up, so his blood dripped into Loki’s mouth. Chris made sure he got enough before he stopped.

‘Please… please.’ Chris whispered as he rocked Loki back and fore. Though he sensed Loki’s heart stop completely.

Chris felt his own heart break into a million pieces, the pain was like nothing else he’d ever felt. He screamed out in anger and anguish, but then, all of a sudden, he heard a low thump… That then began to grow faster and faster.

‘Loki!’ Chris gasped out in hope.

Loki’s eyes flew open, they were a deep red as he inhaled loudly, taking in a big deep breath, his new fangs were glistening white in the sun.

‘It took him a few minutes to come to… to realise what had happened. He pushed me away, screamed at me that I shouldn’t have done it. That I turned him against his will. Lucius came along after that, grabbed hold of Loki to help him. Loki kept screaming at me though, that he would never forgive me for this. That he would rather have died, that he wanted me to die…’

Chris turned his head away from Claire, she saw his eyes were glistening. She could tell by his voice while telling her the story that he still hurt to this day. She even had her own tears that she had to wipe away.

‘Chris… I had no idea. I’m sorry.’ She whispered.

‘Of course you didn’t. Loki needs to keep up the façade that everything is my fault. I’m the bad guy.’ Chris said as his voice hardened again and he blinked hard before looking back at her. Though the anger that had been there earlier wasn’t on his face anymore, Claire didn’t feel quite as threatened now.

‘He didn’t let go of his anger at you for turning him, even though it saved his life.’ Claire said as she looked down for a moment.

‘No. Never has.’ Chris said in a clipped tone.

‘That’s why you went on that rampage, fucking those vampires. It all fits in the timeline.’

Chris nodded in response.

‘Geez, I thought things were complicated with my sister.’ Claire pinched the bridge of her nose and tried to really take in what Chris had just told her.

‘Are you angry at your perfect boyfriend now, for not telling you the truth?’ Chris sneered.

‘I suspect Loki told himself so many times that you turned him against his will, that he really didn't care it was that or his life… Like he’s forgotten.’ Claire said with a sigh.

Chris said nothing.

‘What happened to the woman driving that hit him?’ She asked, though instantly regretted it by the look on Chris’ face.

‘The person responsible for almost killing my little brother... What do you think happened to her?’

‘Shouldn’t have asked.’ Claire sighed.

‘Loki was the only one who loved me, he was the only one that cared. Until that day, when I decided to save his life in the only way possible. I figured there was no point in even trying to be good after that. What was the point? It got me nowhere in the first place.’ Chris stood and started pacing again. Though Claire could tell this time wasn’t with anger as such, he was just all over the place with his emotions.

‘Now, he might be getting my job. The last and only thing that makes me me. Something I’m good at, where I’m respected and needed. I don’t have a soulmate like he does. He has everything. And me? I have nothing. And I never will, all because I really live out what we are, monsters. I only do what my instincts tell me to do.’

His voice broke a little at the end, though he tried to keep it together.

‘That’s not true.’ Claire stood and went towards him.

‘IT IS TRUE!’ He roared at her angrily, making her halt in place. ‘Not for lack of trying, I’ve been all around the world looking for my soulmate, for years. Before you were even born.’ He sneered at her.

Claire wiped away a tear that rolled down her cheek. She swallowed the lump in her throat and took another brave step forwards. She reached out very slowly, as if trying to pet a feral cat.

When her hand eventually landed on his arm, he broke and a few tears flowed freely down his face.

‘There’s no one for me.’
