Redemption [Loki Laufeyson x Warrior!Reader]

Loki

Oh quiet down, I've had enough
I guess it's now or never
I've been around, I've settled up
I'll bolt soon or later

Everyone around me cheers of joy whilst they drink and laugh, celebrating the victory.

I've had enough.

I groan to myself. It isn't that great...and certainly not worth celebrating...

But alas, they must.

That's when I spot her.

Is she new?

I cock my head to the side. I swear I have never seen such beauty in my life. Her waist length [h/c] hair compliments her [s/c] skin very nicely.

She turns and I see her bright [e/c] eyes sparkling.

If she's happy, maybe I should be too.

I'm settled down and have been around here since I was a child. I would have noticed her before, yes?

I guess it's now or never.

I took a photograph of me
When I was only nineteen
I looked a little lost at sea
I keep trying to find me

You used to take pictures of yourself all the time, before you became a warrior.

The last one you remember taking was a few years ago when you were nineteen.

It was the day that you got recruited. You remember feeling lost, but you knew by joining that you would finally find yourself.

Loki

So pray for me brother
I need redemption
I'm just a man
A man on a mission
I want no trouble [x4]

I could ask Thor to pray for me, but there is no need. I know I can do this. I'm just a man, and she's just a woman.

Now I'm a man on a mission as I make my way over to her to introduce myself.

I tap on her shoulder and she turns around with a smile.

"Prince Loki!" She exclaims.

I smile. "Good evening, Lady..."

I pick up a hand, pressing my lips to it, keeping my green eyes locked onto her [e/c] ones.

"Oh, I am [y/n]." She blushes.

"It's a pleasure, Lady [y/n]."

Her blush deepens as I release her hand.

Offering her my arm now, I ask, "Would you accompany me to a dance?"

She takes it eagerly.

"Of course, Prince Loki."

I want no trouble, only her.

Reader

Pray for me sister
Give me a mention
I got no faith
And, oh, did I mention
I want no trouble [x4]

Your sister would squeal at the sight of you and Loki. You let him lead you to the dance floor, snaking his arms around you as you do the same. You have no faith in yourself and she would probably mention it.

You want no trouble, just to be happy.

Oh pack it up, and hit the road
And only take my lighter
I've seen the glitz, I've seen the glam
But I prefer the pay dirt

A few days after you and Loki's first dance, you sit in your room, polishing your blade.

Loki hasn't visited you once yet, and that worries you.

You take a lighter to your blade, altering it to the shape that you want.

You like wearing fancy dresses and armour, but you prefer to wear peasant clothes and fight with the boys.

I took a photograph of me
When I was only nineteen
I looked a little lost at sea
I keep trying to find me

You lay your sword down on your bench as you pick up that photograph you took when you were nineteen.

You smile sadly at how lost you looked. Now you know exactly where you are and where you belong.

Loki

So pray for me brother
I need redemption
I'm just a man
A man on a mission
I want no trouble [x4]

I am on my way to Thor's chambers to speak to him about [y/n]. Surely he must know something of her whereabouts. After our dance, we talked a little, but I never asked if I could see her again.

I need redemption, and I hope she gives it to me. I am only just a man. Now I'm on another mission.

I pause in front of Thor's chamber door and knock on it.

He answers almost immediately.

"What is it, Loki?"

"I want no trouble, Thor."
~
With Thor's advice and direction, I make my way to [y/n]'s chambers with a new mindset to win her over completely.

Pray for me sister
Give me a mention

And, oh, did I mention
I want no trouble [x4]

You set the photograph back down, once again thinking of your dear sister. You hope she mentions you during her training. Using your name, she can get far due to the fact that you are on the King's guard. You may no longer have faith in yourself, but you do in her.

Just then, there is a knock at your door.

Curious, you go over and open it.

There stands the very man that you could not stop thinking about.

"I want no trouble, [y/n]."

Maybe you could save my soul
Cause of all the things that I don't know

Maybe he could save me from myself, you realize then.

"Loki? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to proclaim my love for you."

You blush and blink at him.

You don't know many things, and love is one of those.

But maybe together, you could figure it out.

You open the door wider with a smile.

"Come in."

Loki

Maybe you could save my soul
Cause of all the things that I don't know

Maybe she could save my soul, I think to myself.

I walk into her chambers, breathing in its scent. It smells like her.

She closes the door and we turn to each other.

I step towards her, pulling her hands into mine.

So pray for me brother
I need redemption
I'm just a man
A man on a mission
I want no trouble [x4]

I silently thank Thor that I was able to find her. She's the one. I just know it.

I came here to redeem myself because I'm just a man.

"I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since the day we met." I tell her, kneeling down.

She pulls one of her hands from mine and covers her mouth.

I look up at her as she giggles.

"Lady [y/n]...would you do the honour of becoming my Queen?"

Wait until your sister finds out that you will one day be Queen of Asgard. You have no doubt in your mind that she will be in your Guard.

You once had no faith, and now, you do.

You don't want any trouble. You just want to be his Queen.

You grab his hand again. You squeeze both of his with yours now.

"I want nothing more than to be your Queen, Prince Loki." You grin as Loki stands up and cups your face, kissing you.

EXTENDED ENDING [4 years later]

You place a new sword into your sister's hands.

"Lady [fem/n], you are now on the Queen's guard."

You grin down proudly at your younger sister. You couldn't be prouder of her for becoming strong, much like yourself.

You then turn to your glorious husband beside you, your King.

Two years ago, you and Loki became the new rulers of Asgard and finally, your sister has completed her training, now able to protect you on your Guard.

Not that you need it. You were once a warrior and now a Queen with a clever and protective husband.

Loki wraps his arm around your waist.

"I have something to tell you." You whisper in his ear when he nudges closer.

"Anything, my Queen."

You grin, turning to him.

"I'm finally pregnant."~
