Something Real

Pairings: Loki X Reader

Warnings: None yet

Summary: Reader is raising her twins in New Asgard, the sons of Loki. One night reader and her boys are having a fun Friday night when they get an unexpected guest.

I don’t know where this is going yet…we’ll find out together…🤷🏻‍♀️

“Vali! Momma said we need to finish our homework before we can play!”

Vali rolls his eyes at his twin brother, “relax Narfi, I’m just taking a little break.”

Narfi exhales and continues doing his work.

“Narfi! Vali! Are you guys done with your homework?” You yell from the kitchen where you are preparing dinner.

“Almost!” Vali responds back quickly getting back to doing his work. Narfi grinned at his brother and finished the remaining problems in his math homework.

“Done!” Narfi announces proudly, he packs up his books into his backpack and runs to the kitchen to claim his plate of food.

Vali once again rolls his eyes at his brother, over the little goody two shoes attitude. Vali was more prone towards mischief and having fun! Narfi was definitely a momma’s boy.

Vali finishes his work, puts away his things and heads towards the kitchen to wait for dinner.

Narfi was filling his plate and Vali apparently didn’t feel like waiting so he used his developing magical ability to get his serving so he didn’t have to wait.

“Hey!” Narfi yelps.

“Vali, how many times do I have to tell you? No magic in the house. You remember what happened last week don’t you?” You ask exasperated.

“I’m sorry mom, I’m starving! You know how much I love your lasagna..” boy gets his flattery from his father.

“Mmhhm..come on boys sit down and eat.”

The three of them sit down at the dinner table and have idle talk about their day. The boys talked about how school was and what they were learning, any assignments they have due. Narfi was excelling in his studies of course, the boy loved to read and he absorbed all of it like a sponge. Vali was doing well enough in school, he loved his physical activities and magic school. Thank goodness for New Asgard, if not for the remaining Asgardians she would have no idea how to raise such magical children.

Also the idea of them being alone terrified you, they had such a long lifespan and with Loki gone..you were the only parent they had left and you had maybe 60 more years left if you’re lucky. Thor usually came around to help with the twins, they were the only family he had left and you knew he would always be there for them.

You loved those boys. They were a piece of Loki. The only piece of Loki left.

You met when he tried taking over Earth, he was enamored by you and when he was posing as Odin he brought you to Asgard to be with him there. You knew it was wrong but you fell in love with him and Odin was an asshole. The last time you saw him he was shoving you onto the escape pod with his people when you were all escaping Ragnarok. He tricked you into believing he was going to escape with you but in the last moment he shoved you forward and closed the door behind you.

You screamed for them to open the doors and slammed your hands against them. The people inside the pod grabbed you so they can strap you in and all you could do is stare at Loki while he looked sadly at you through the window. Tears were falling down his face and once he saw that you were safely strapped in your seat with the rest of the people he pressed the release so the pod can fly off the doomed vessel.

To this day you hear yourself screaming for him in your dreams.

You found out you were pregnant shortly after you arrived on Earth.

At first you were devastated, you wanted Loki to be here with you. You weren’t supposed to do this alone. But then you saw it as a blessing, a part of him will live on. And then you found out you were having twins, Thor was so happy he burst into tears.

The birth was tough, they had never seen a jotun/human hybrid before so the healers didn’t know what to expect. Luckily Thor asked for the assistance of Pepper Potts and she was able to get the best doctors that were still there after the snap. They worked alongside Asgards remaining healers and delivered your twins successfully.

Years went on and then after the Avengers defeated Thanos, Thor took some time to travel around the universe. The boys were older and they were starting to go to school, you made sure to teach them your Earth customs while they were also living in New Asgard surrounded by Asgardians learning their culture as well.

The boys are now going on 8 years old and are currently in the 3rd grade. They have their math, science, social studies and language arts classes but they also have seidr lessons. Another trait that they inherited from their father and they almost destroyed your house on multiple occasions. Never on purpose of course, most of the time it would be completely random. You didn’t know anything about magic so you asked one of the Asgardian healers at work and she recommended one of the old seidr teachers that survived Ragnarok.

So now twice a week after their other classes, they have their seidr lessons.

They know who their dad is. You explained to them about what happened in New York, how he was controlled by Thanos, you didn’t tell them how he died..maybe when they were older. You did make sure that they knew he would’ve loved them desperately. And you know he would have, you just hope you are raising them the way he would’ve wanted.

You all finish your meals, “alright guys, you wanna watch a movie or have a game night?” It was Friday night so no need to be up early the next day for school and being Prince Loki’s baby momma has its perks, like not working on the weekends…

Narfi looks at you, “can we go outside and make s’mores?”

You nod, “sure baby we can do that..Vali? You ok with that or did you want to do something else?”

He shakes his head and leans back in his chair, his eyes trained on the ceiling, “no, s’mores sounds good. Just gimmie a minute, I’m stuffed..”

You giggle at his silliness, “alright boys, help me clean up here and we can go outside and get the s’mores started.”

They help you clean up after dinner and collect all of the items for their s’mores, you get outside with some blankets just in case you get cold. The boys of course never get cold..

You start the fire in the small pit you have in your backyard and hand the boys their tools for s’mores.

You are about to get started roasting and then you see an orange door pop up out of nowhere on the other side of the backyard.

You stand up and make sure the boys are behind you, you get your phone ready to call Val just in case.

You wait a moment and then out steps Loki.

He’s wearing a dirty button up, a tie and slacks. His short hair a mess and he’s covered in bruises and cuts.

He looks at you for a moment, “y/n?”

“What the hell is this?” You ask breathlessly.

“Mom?” You hear Narfi behind you sounding so small and afraid.

You turn and look at the twins, “go inside and lock the door, do not come out until you hear my or Aunt Val’s voice. Understand?”

Vali stands tall, “no mom, we’re not leaving. Is that….?…”

“I don’t know who that is baby, but it is not your father.” You try to calm him.

“I beg your pardon? Did you just say father?” You hear Loki ask behind you.

You turn around, “You..You don’t talk!”…you say sharply to him.

He holds his hands up in surrender, his eyebrows raised at the tone of your voice.

“Mom…that’s dad..”

“No baby, it’s not. Your dad died, I wouldn’t lie to you about that.”

“How can you say that?! He’s standing right there!”

“Vali, let me talk to him alone and see what this is about.”

“No, we talk to him together.” He insists.

“No Vali, he could be dangerous..”

He ignores you and looks to Loki.

“Are you my dad?”

Loki looks uncomfortable, “I…It’s hard to explain.”

“We have time it’s not a school night.”

“Vali! Go inside with your brother.”

“No! You lied to us. You just wanted to keep us from him!”

“No baby, I promise you. Let me talk to him, when I know it’s safe you and your brother can ask all of the questions you want.”

Vali looks at you and then looks at Loki.

“Don’t hurt my mom.”

“Loki holds up his hands again, “I wouldn’t dream of it.”

Vali takes Narfi by the shoulders and leads him inside, no doubt to sit by the window and keep a close eye on the two adults outside.

You watch them close the door and you turn your gaze to Loki.

“Who are you?”

“I am Loki, though not the Loki you knew. I am from a different timeline.”

“Ok..and what are you doing here?”

“As I said..it’s hard to explain.”

“Well like my son said, it’s not a school night…I have the time.”

“Are they truly my…your Loki’s children?”

You take a moment to think about how you should answer him, he could still be an imposter just wanting to hurt you and take your powerful children. You can imagine the children of Loki would sell for a high price.

“Yes.”

“And he died?”

“Yes, Thanos…” you clear the lump in your throat and try to hold back your tears, “Thanos killed him on his way to Earth. What are you doing here?”

“I am looking for a new timeline to call home, you see my timeline no longer exists. I have no home, I have been traveling to different timelines to find one where I can assimilate myself into. So far this is the only one that seems like it would fit my needs.”

“Your needs? And what would your needs be?”

“Peace. I just want peace.”

“So you choose a timeline where you have kids? You sure you don’t want to search some more?”

“No, please..they seem…wonderful. What family do I have left in this timeline?”

“Umm..your brother is still alive..that’s it.”

“Ah..I was hoping I found one where mother might’ve survived..”

“This is crazy, why should I believe any of this?”

He takes a few steps towards you closing the distance, “I remember you from New York, you tried desperately to save me, to reach to my humanity. To be honest with you whenever you were around the Other’s influence was less effective. The last I remember of you, I had left you at your home far away from the city to keep you safe. I promised you I would come for you after my victory.”

“Yea well you lost and went to Asgard and then you came and got me like 2 years later. We lived on Asgard together for a while and then when Ragnarok happened we all came here..well you died on the way..”

“Yes. Thanos..he..he his dead on this timeline now yes?” He asks nervously.

“Yea he’s dead, thanks to the Avengers and then some.”

He breathes in relief, “good…good.”

You take a good look at him and he looks disheveled, “did you want to come inside and get some water?”

“Yes, water would be lovely, thank you.”

You make your way to the house and you hear the sound of the boys running from the window, probably getting into a position to make it look like they weren’t watching them from the window.

“Boys? You can come out..”

You see them walk out of Vali’s room hand in hand.

“Ok guys..this is a lot to take in..I’m not even sure if I understand it to be honest..come sit and I’ll explain.”

The twins sit down and you tell them what Loki told you, “so you see guys, your father, from our timeline did die. This Loki is from a different one where you guys don’t exist yet.”

Narfi finally finds his voice, “so this daddy doesn’t love you?”

You look over at Loki and he again had a very uncomfortable look on his face, “no baby, this Loki doesn’t love me.”

He looks down sadly, “oh..”

You lift up Narfi’s face with your finger, “what’s wrong baby?”

His blue eyes fill with tears and he sniffles, “I was hoping that this daddy would stay with us and we can be a family…but if he doesn’t love you then he won’t want to stay..”

Loki kneels in front of Narfi, “oh my boy, I have to learn my place here in this time, I wish to spend as much time with you two as I can..if that’s alright?”

Loki looks over to you, silently asking permission. You look over at the twins and they have the same look on their little faces. Spitting images of their father.

“It’s getting late, we’ll talk more about all of this in the morning.”

“But mooommm!” Vali let’s out a wine, “but mom nothing, you guys are up way later than usual. Come on go brush your teeth and get in bed.”

“Fiiinnee..” they both walk over to you and give you a hug and a kiss.

Narfi walks over to Loki and puts out his hand, Loki looks down at it and then takes Narfi’s little hand in his giving it a little shake.

“It’s nice to meet you.”

“It’s nice to meet you too Narfi.” Loki looks over to Vali, “and you as well Vali, I am glad to see your mother has a strong protector in her home.”

Vali doesn’t say anything, just looks at Loki suspiciously and reaches for Narfi’s hand. “Come on Narfi, let’s get ready for bed.”

The twins leave you and Loki in the living room and you look over at Loki, “hungry?”

He thinks a moment, “actually yes..”

“Ok, I’ll fix you a plate.” You get up and go to the kitchen, you grab some of the left over lasagna and warm it up. As you’re getting his meal ready, Loki walked into the kitchen and watched you work.

You place his plate on the table and pull out the chair, “your meal your highness.”

He laughs and you are hit was a pang of sadness, you missed Loki so much, but this isn’t your Loki.

He sits down and starts to eat, “this is delicious!”

You giggle, “thank you. You can sleep in the guest room, it used to be Thor’s old room so you might find some of his things in there still.”

He all of a sudden looks upset.

“Ah, so even the woman that bore my children was enamored by my brother. Tell me. Did you immediately jump into my brothers bed after my death or did you wait until my body was cold at least?”

“You don’t get to do that. You have no idea what it has been like. Your brother was all we had after you died. I have never, will never sleep with Thor. I haven’t been able to sleep with anyone since you died. I can’t stop seeing your eyes when I close mine, your laugh, your smile..your death broke me Loki, if I wasn’t pregnant with the boys….”

You dry your eyes and stand up from the dinner table, “the bathroom is down the hall, last door on the right. The guest room is next door to it, you can use that for now while we try to get ahold of your brother to figure out what we’re going to do from here.”

You don’t say anything else and you don’t give him the opportunity to say anything, you just turn around and leave towards your room.

You get to your room and close the door, you rest your back against it and slide down, tears streaming down your face. This was too much. How were you going to do this?

Knock Knock Knock

“Y/n” you hear Loki’s voice on the other side.

“What?”

“Can we speak? Please?”

You dry your face once again, stand up and open the door.

You see Loki, looking down in shame.

“I’m sorry y/n. I had no right. You are absolutely correct, I have no idea what it was like for you after my…his death. I am thankful my brother stayed and helped you with the twins, it’s what I would expect of my family.”

You look up at him and finally meet his gaze, “thank you for your apology Loki, I forgive you. I’ll see you tomorrow morning, we’ll talk more ok?”

“Yes. Until then.”

He turns and walks down the hall, you close the door again and get ready for bed. Anxious for what tomorrow is going to bring.
