Imprisoned

Ch.23-What We Were-

"Loki what are you doing out of your cell?!" I scold, pretending like I don't have the urge to grab his face and kiss him as I continue to pack.

"I came to see you and stop you from leaving." I turn back to him in disbelief. "I'm so sorry darling please let me-" he reaches out to touch me but I pull away.

"Don't touch me," I say, tears welling in my eyes.

"Darling please-"

"And you don't get to call me darling anymore. I'm not your darling." I finally look him in the eyes and he looks absolutely broken. Why? He did this.

"Please let me explain! It wasn't me!" Loki is now desperately trying to get me to pay attention. I look at him sharply.

"Not you? Not YOU?!" I yell, tears now escaping my eyes.

"Please, you have to believe me, I can't lose you," he says taking my hand in his, this time I let him. I want so bad for this to be the truth. And if that's foolish, let me be.

"Fine. I'll let you explain yourself." A tiny smile flashes across Loki's face before we both sit down on my bed. "This better be good."

"When I attacked New York I was forced to, but you already knew that. What I didn't tell you was that I...I was tortured and mind-controlled prior." Loki starts. I gaze at him with sympathy and horror. How could he never tell me this? "I was controlled by the scepter with help from one of Thanos's goons. Ever since we arrived I've had this...this presence in my mind and I wasn't fully aware of it until a few minutes ago." Loki pauses, taking both my hands in his. "I promise you, I would have given up the tesseract to be with you. I told you that we would not be separated again and I broke that promise. I swear on us...no, on my mother, that I have not been myself. Please forgive me, Sarah, I don't know what I would do without you." Loki looks desperately at me, awaiting a response. I'm frozen in place trying to process everything and figure out if this is just another lie.

"What about the tesseract." I manage to ask, rather calmly.

"I gave it to them, so I could come and stop you from leaving," Loki says.

"If you were really under mind control...how did you get out?" Loki hesitates.

"I don't know how, all I know is that you were leaving and I couldn't let you, I couldn't let you go...because...I love you." I choke back the tears.

"Y-you love me?" Loki nods with a sad smile.

"I do, I love you more than anything. Please don't leave me." he practically begs, his voice shaking.

"I-I love you too." Loki stares into my eyes for a moment before smiling and bringing his hand to my face to wipe away my tears. He slowly leans and gently connects our lips together. Our lips move in sync as we make up for the lost time. I've missed him so much. I can smell his leather, woodsy aroma as we kiss and it makes me melt in his arms.

After a few blissful moments of kissing, he grabs my head and waist firmly, making the kiss more aggressive. Loki grunts as I push him onto his back on my bed, still keeping our lips in intense contact. I straddle him and move my kisses down to his neck, Loki groans in appreciation. I slowly work my way down to his chest and he pulls his shirt off, then reaches to take mine off, I nod and help him slip it over my head. Once we are both without our shirts, I'm only in a bra and legging. Loki stares hungrily at me and suddenly flips me onto my back. I let out a little squeal in surprise and he leans down to kiss me passionately. I tug against his hair lightly as his hands explore my body. Loki leaves trails of kisses on my neck and collar, and we continue.

The next morning I wake up to the sun spilling through the giant window in my bedroom of the compound. It takes me a second to realize that I'm laying on Loki's bare chest. I carefully lay my head back down on his chest, so I don't wake him.

"Morning my love," Loki says from beneath me. Only slightly surprised that he was awake the whole time, I prop my chin upon his chest and smile at him.

"Good morning Loki," I say in a soft voice, kissing his lips lightly before snuggling up next to him again. I feel Loki's hand start to play with my hair and I let him, enjoying the simple silence of the morning.

"Thank you for not leaving me," Loki says.

"Thank you for stopping me and telling me the truth," I reply, tracing my fingers up and down his chest.

"Thank you for believing me." I smile and slowly straddle him, kissing up his chest, to his neck, eventually reaching his lips, earning an appreciative groan. Only when I feel my bare chest press against his do I remember that we are both naked. I gasp at the memory of last night, pulling away from the kiss. Loki looks at me, confused and amused. I catch his eyes rack my naked body on top of him briefly before returning to my face.

"What is it darling?" he asks. I blink a few times.

"We had sex last night," I say, sounding like a true dumb ass. Loki laughs.

"Yes, yes we did." he smiles, proud of himself. I pull myself together, smirking down at Loki.

"It was good," I state, biting my lip.

"Of course it was, it was with me," Loki says, being cocky. I laugh and slap his chest, rolling to lay next to him again. He turns his head to face me.

"You love me?" I ask, recalling more of the last night. Loki smiles.

"Yes, I love you," he answers. I smile with pure happiness, I don't think I've ever felt this genuinely happy in my whole life. "I love you," Loki repeats, now hovering over me under the sheets. I stare into his emerald green eyes.

"I love you," I say, intertwining my fingers in his hair.

"I love you," Loki repeats again, it's like we both keep saying it to see if this is real or not. I mean who could blame us, this all just seems so perfect right now, how could it possibly be real?

"I love you more," I say back again. Loki's face lowers closer to mine.

"Not possible," he whispers, kissing me deeply. Loki kisses me with such passion, devouring my lips like they are his favorite dessert. We both pull away and Loki flops down next to me again.

"We should probably go out for breakfast," I suggest.

"Not yet. They can wait, lay with me a little longer." I smile and cuddle up to Loki again, with my head on his chest. At this moment all I can hear are the chirping of birds and Loki's heart. All I can feel is the love we have for each other. I feel safe. I feel...

Home.
