All My Fault. // Loki x Reader

Chapter 2 | Catnip and Cream

He pushed himself against the wall and patted the bed in front of him. "Come here little one." You hesitated. He just asked you to sit on his bed. Why would he do that? Was this a trick? Then again you stood on his shoulder earlier so boundaries seemed out the window at this point. He rolled his eyes when he noticed your hesitation. "I could have easily forced you to change back, and yet I have chosen to let you keep the form you are most comfortable in. So grant me the chance to speak with the kitten." If a kitten could shrug, you shrugged and jumped up onto the bed.

As you sat in front of him he waved his hands as a bowl appeared in his hand. "We are going to develop a little system together." He smiled fondly. He held the bowl down towards you and it was filled with fresh cream. God, you loved magic. You stepped forwards looking into the bowl resisting the urge to slam your face into it. You looked back up to him curiously as he yanked it away. "Ah ah ah." He placed it on his bedside table. "In order to earn this, you will need to answer my questions."

How am I supposed to do that smart guy?

"One little meow will suffice for a yes and anything else I will consider a definitive no."

'Meow'

He sat back against the wall crossing his arms. "Considering how smoothly you seem to move, I can assume you have had this power for a while. Since birth, if I am to assume correctly."

'Meow'

He nodded. "You can't be much older than twenty. And yet you live and fight with the Avengers. You must have done something truly terrible to get on their attention."

You didn't answer.

"Something good then. What could a kitten possibly do to..... oh. Oh, I see." He smirked at you. "You can be more than a simple kitten can't you?"

'Meow'

He thought for a moment. "I could tell you weren't a kitten However I wasn't sure how far off you actually were."

You walked over caressing your head against his hand. "Can you do all of them?"

'Meow'

"You are interesting." He reached over itching under your chin. "I now understand why I was drawn to you." He hit just the right stop. "I believe you were drawn to me as well." You began purring softly and he itched your head. He laced his hands around your waist lifted you up.

'Meow'

You protested.

"If you want the cream I suggest you cooperate." He said as he smirked like a child.

'Meoww'

"Hush." He placed you down next to him and began petting your head but you pulled back. He pulled his hand up. "A stubborn one aren't you?" You looked up to him looking annoyed. "If you continue like this, the cream may never come." He tried petting you again and you didn't pull away. "If you wish to turn into your normal form, I would not object."

Hah, forget it. Not in front of you and your silver tongue.

He raised his brow at your defiance. "I suppose this is your favorite form then?"

You didn't answer him.

"Oh? Then what is?"

You jumped off the bed walking onto the middle of the room. He stared at you in curiosity as you shifted into an arctic wolf. "A wolf?" You trotted around in a circle barking once. "Fascinating." You walked over to him resting your head on his leg as he began scratching at your head.

"The lady likes you," Thor said from the doorway.

"Knocking seems to be one of the various skills you can not master," Loki growled to his brother as he continued to pet your head.

"I heard her bark and came to investigate. Just to make sure she was alright."

"She's fine Thor," Loki answered annoyed at his brother. "I have no desire to harm her contrary to what the others may think."

Thor kneeled down whistling for you to come. You hated when he did that. You may have looked like one but you weren't one. You sat down where you were as Loki continued to pet you. He smirked at you then up to his brother. "She doesn't like when you do that."

"It seems so." He walked up behind you and began scratching your neck.

"I would be cautious around the others brother. They will not take to you as well as she has."

"You mean by the way they looked at with fear and anger? No. I hadn't noticed."

"They are just cautious. "

"You know as well as I that I was being controlled."

"However they still have the right to be careful. You did try to kill them all."

"Thank you for reminding me, Thor. I will put it on my long lists of things I can never forget as you keep reminding me."

Thor sighed. "If she is fine then there is no need to worry. I'm sorry to intrude." He stood up walking towards the door. "Goodnight brother. Goodnight Eva." He smiled down on you before shutting the door behind him.

"Eva." He said as he looked into your eyes. "Your name means life. How fitting." He itched behind your ear as you both sat in silence. He read the book and scratched your head in silence. "If you would still like that cream," He said without looking up from his book. "I believe you will need a kitten for that."

You nodded your head and stepped away before swiftly shifting back into a small kitten. "It is painless correct?"

'Meow'

You jumped back up next to him stepping over next to his hip. "Beautiful kitten." He grabbed the cream from the table placing it in front of you. "A deals a deal." You began lapping up the cream. Maybe as a human, this would be gross. But as a kitten, the cream was filling and warm. Making everything around you disappear.

He was sweet. You didn't know why you were nervous. He treated you wonderfully and seemed to enjoy your presence.

The bowl was half empty when decided you were finished and full. You looked up to Loki who was reading his book once again. You had no desire to leave as the cream left you tired and warm. You curled up next to Loki purring softly as he began to scratch your head again. "Sleep tight little one." Your eyes drifted closed as the world became dark. "I won't let anyone harm you."
