Summary: Loki is having frequent nightmares and they all end the same. Y/N dying in his arms. He needs someone to get rid of these nightmare before these nightmares get rid of him. So he seeks comfort from someone who cares for him.
Loki gasped for air and sat up as quickly as he could. “It was only a dream, Loki.” He muttered to himself swinging his legs to the edge of the bed. “Only a dream.” He said reassuring himself before getting out of bed. He pulled out a dark green shirt to put on since he only fell asleep in some black sweats and he stared at his long horned helmet before walking out of his room.
He walked into the elevator with a yawn and was greated by Tony’s A.I. “Mr. Laufeyson do you want me to alert Y/N that your a awake?” Friday asked in a calm motone voice but Loki shook his head. “No thank you, Friday i’m just going to the kitchen for a glass of water.” Loki said with another yawn rippling through his throat before exiting the elevator.
His way to the kitchen was so silent he was sure no one else was up except him. But boy was he wrong. “Loki?” Natasha asked raising her eyebrow and Loki gulped nervously turning around slowly to the ex-assassin. “Yes miss Romanoff?” He asked with hesitation. “What are you doing here?”
She asked before giving him a look that said ‘do-you-want-something-to-drink-or-not?’ “Um a water bottle please. And I could ask you the same thing.” Loki said keeping up his sarcastic side. It wasn’t on purpose but he had just woke up from a nightmare and he was scared to think he was still sleep. “Well i’m up cause I just got back fom a mission.”
Natasha said before tossing him some water. “As for you, you look like you just stared death in the face or you just had a nightmare.” She said before opening a bottle of water for herself. “Your right. Thanks for the water. I guess.” He said muttering the last part before heading back to the elevator.
Loki sighed softly as the machine whirled to life. He closed his eyes and hummed quietly. “W-why d-didn’t you save me?” Y/N said as her hand gripped the helm of his armour. Loki’s eyes snapped open as the elevator ‘binged!’ To life before the doors slid open. Loki sighed softly and walked out of the elevator walking towards a familar door.
A small knock woke Y/N up from her slumber. She sighed before tying a black robe around her while walking the the door. “Motherfuc-” She started before she opened the door her expression softened. “Loki, What are you doing up? It’s 1:15 in the morning.” She asked looking over Loki’s tired body.
Y/N brought him inside her room and Loki wrapped his arms around her. “I just couldn’t sleep.” He muttered into her hair closing his eyes but his grip tightened around her slightly. Like if he let go she would disappear. “Hey, let’s lay down okay?” She asked while caressing his cheek with a soft smile. “Mmhm.” Loki hummed quietly as the both laid down on her bed.
Loki had dark images in his head. Frost giant, murder, useless, untrustworthy. Different words flodded through his head before Y/N snapped him out of it. “Loki. It’s me. I’m here for you.” Once those words left her lips loki started sobbing. He would never do this infront of others but knowing that you were there for him was all he needed.
Loki made himself comfortable and laid down between Y/N’s legs while his head rested on Y/N’s chest. “I’m sorry for waking you up, Y/N.” He said softly snuggling into her as she combed his hair with her fingers delicately. “It’s alright, Loki.” She said quietly. They stayed like this for a few hours and before Y/N knew it he was fast in her arms. She chuckled quietly and kissed his head. “Sweet dreams my prince.”
