Description: Loki needs a date to the annual Asgardian Ball and Thor suggests Y/N, a human he met on his adventures on Earth. Once at the ball, Y/N becomes the victim of some rowdy Asgardians. Will Loki notice and save her?

With the annual Asgardian Ball coming up, Loki was feeling more pressure to find a date. Sure, he could ask Y/N, but he couldn't get up the nerve to ask her. Every time he saw Y/N, his stomach tied up in knots. Loki just couldn't act on his feelings in case he jeopardised their friendship, he just couldn't lose her.

Thor had noticed that both his brother and Y/N didn't have dates to the ball. Knowing about Loki's feelings towards you, he walked over and confronted him. "Loki, why have you not yet asked Lady Y/N to the ball? I happen to know that she would say yes."

Loki turned around and gave Thor a scowl. "It is none of your business why I haven't asked her, brother. Anyway, why are you so sure that she would say yes? Y/N would much rather go with the 'hero' brother, rather than the 'evil' one". At his last words, Loki gave a sigh, thinking that the love of his life would never pick him over Thor.

"Well, Loki. I have gained some knowledge that Lady Y/N is harbouring feelings towards you. Maybe, you should stop moping about and act on your feelings?" Loki's eyes widened at this new information, and a little smirk was starting to sneak onto his face.

"Thank you, brother." Loki then strode off in search of Y/N, gathering up the courage to ask her to the ball. He asked around the palace about Y/N's whereabouts until he came to find she was situated in her room.

Excitement was bubbling within Loki, as he gave three raps on the door. He heard shuffling, then the locks, and then seen the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

"Hello, Loki. You Okay?". You asked, slightly surprised that Loki had knocked on the door. Usually, he just walked straight in as both of you were very comfortable being around each other.

Loki bit his lip nervously, trying to think of the best way to ask the very important question. "Yes. Y/N, I was wondering....erm....if you would....erm.... go to the ball with me?". Loki turned away sheepishly, a little blush rising onto his cheeks.

"Of course. I would love to go with you!" You wrapped your arms around Loki's neck and give him a small peck on the cheek. "Pick me up at around 7." You waved goodbye, and closed the door. You couldn't believe that he finally asked you! You sat down on your bed, thinking about the outfit you were going to wear, knowing that it had to blow Loki's socks off.

The day of the Asgardian Ball had arrived, and Loki was a big bundle of nerves. Dressed in a black suit, with a green tie and his hair slicked back, he walked slowly down the corridor towards Y/N's room, anxiously thinking about what the night holds ahead. Shakily, he raised his fist to your door and gave two little taps.

Once you heard those taps, a twang of nervousness shot through your whole body. You knew that this night was going to be magical with the man you love by your side. You slipped your shoes on, and slowly walked towards the door.

As the door opened, Loki's eyes widened at the sight of you. Hair twisted up into a fancy knot and a long, sleek black dress with shoes to match.

"Wow! You look beautiful!" Loki said softly, taking in each and every detail of your face. "Thank you. You look very handsome, L." As you closed the door, Loki raised his arm up and linked yours together, guiding you down the hallway towards the ballroom.

When you entered the ballroom, you felt as though all eyes were on you. A group of Asgardian men were looking you up and down, hungrily. You shifted closer to Loki, feeling a little uncomfortable under their gaze. You both walked over to the bar, still feeling their gazes on you.

"Why don't you order yourself something, Y/N? I'll be right back." Loki kissed you on your hand and walked towards his brother.

You ordered from the bar and began to sip on your drink. Looking around, you could see that the group were still looking at you and began to talk amongst themselves. Seeing that Loki was no longer with you, one of the men broke away and began to make their way towards you. You turned away, hoping that he doesn't speak to you.

A few moments later, you felt hot breath on the back of your neck.

"Hey, gorgeous. What are you doing standing at the bar all alone?". He walked around you and placed his hand on your thigh, slowly gliding it up.

In response, you slapped his hand away and began to walk away towards Loki. "I'm here with somebody, so please if you wouldn't mind." You began to walk away when the man grabbed your hand tight and began to pull you away, with the rest of the group following. You shouted for Loki, not knowing if he heard you over the noise of the music.

Loki was deep in a conversation with Thor when he heard you shout his name. He looked up just in time to see you being dragged out into the palace gardens by the men. Loki excused himself and ran towards the doorway, hoping to get there in time to save you.

Two of the men held you down, whilst one was trying to undress you. "Please stop. HELP!" You pleaded and shouted, hoping that somebody could hear you. Out of the corner of your eye, you seen a black figure moving towards you. Instantly recognising it was Loki, you said to the men, "You are so fucked now!".

Loki leaped out of the shadows and began to beat down on the men, throwing one punch after the other. Anger taking control of him, he threw all of the men on the ground and turned them into bloody pulps.

"Why the hell would you think you could do something like that to somebody like Y/N? She does not deserve to be treated like that at all! Now, get out of my sight. If I ever catch you near her again, I will NOT hesitate to kill you, understand?". Loki loomed over them, nostrils flaring and balling his fists.

All three of the men got up onto their feet and ran away, too scared to say or do anything else.

Loki turned around and knelt down, checking you over. "Y/N, are you OK? They didn't do anything did they?" As Loki helped you up, you placed you hand on his cheek. "No, thanks to you. You got here just in time. You're my hero."

At those words, Loki bent down and kissed you, pouring all of his passion into it. All of the anger and worry from earlier began to melt away as you kissed back, lips moving in sync with each other. When you broke apart, you both had big smiles on your faces and Loki took your hand and guided you back inside to have the best night of your life....
