A/N: So, this is where the story started originally. This is what I imagined before I wrote the prologue, and this chapter’s premise is what inspired me to write this fic. Hope you enjoy!
“Why do you think those things?” says a voice. It’s small, and very quiet, but deeper, and filled with heartbreak. You can hear it, the sadness.
You think you’re hallucinating, hearing things. So you go with it.
“Because I do,” you answer, weakly, your voice hoarse from sobbing, “I don’t know.”
“You are not alone.”
You nod, not really acknowledging the thought. You’ve tried to convince yourself the same thing many times over, telling the point to yourself repeatedly.
“You don’t believe me.” It’s not a question.
There is no need to shake your head. The sobs well up in your throat and you choke them back. You hear the voice sigh, almost hopelessly.
“Look at me, please. I want to see you.”
The voice is louder now. It takes you a minute for it to register that this voice is not in your head. It is, in fact, right near you, on the other side of your room.
You blink. Then, your eyes shoot open, and with a gasp, you shove the covers off of yourself. Your head whips to the side and you see someone standing near your bed.
You raise a hand to your mouth to cover up a scream that begins to rise from your throat.
“No, no. Please, don’t be afraid,” says the voice, and the person steps forward. He wears a black suit that matches his black, shoulder length hair. His face is pale and narrow, but his eyes are soft.
As soon as you make eye contact with him, something changes in you. Immediately, you feel a sense of calm run over you like a wave, something so gentle and sweet that you’ve never felt in your entire life.
Your breath catches in your throat, and your eyes fill with a different kind of tear, but your heart doesn’t beat as rapidly. “Who — who are you?” you stammer.
“My name is Loki,” he says, “and this may sound very cliché to say, but it’s true: I am your guardian angel. I’ve been watching over you for your whole life, and I…”
He goes on a little, but the rest of this is completely lost to you. You feel confused, dazed, tired. You still feel like you’re hallucinating, just a bit…
But how, then, can you explain that feeling you’re having? Wishful thinking?
“I have a guardian angel?” you ask, stunned.
Loki looks a little confused… and a little sad. “Why, er, yes. Yes, darling, you do. Everyone does.”
“That’s a nice thought,” you say.
He nods. “It is.”
“Why are you here?” Curious, you wipe your eyes and sit cross legged on your bed, leaning closer to him.
“Well, as I said, I am your guardian angel. And… it seems like you haven’t been having the best of nights lately. Am I correct?”
You can’t meet his eyes, but you nod anyways. “Mm hm.”
“Would you like to talk about it?”
“No,” you answer honestly. “No, I don’t.”
“That’s fine,” he says calmly. “All you should know is that I am here if you’d like to talk about it. Remember, I am your friend. I want to talk with you, I want to stay with you. I want to help you.”
He reaches down and… and takes your hand in his. His own hand is very warm and large and the contact takes the shivers from you.
His words are unexpected. Unexpected but soothing and kind and so, so loving.
“Could… could you stay with me tonight?” you ask shyly.
He smiles then. It’s a very pretty smile. “Yes.” He gets into bed beside you, but not before he changes his clothes; you blink, it seems, and he now wears a regular tshirt and some sweatpants.
You do not touch each other. You do not hold each other. In fact, you both stay on either side of the bed, not facing each other.
It is what you need — just someone next to you to look at. Someone that wants to stay with you, at least for tonight.
What you do not know is that once you’re asleep, Loki takes his pinkie and locks it with yours.
“I will protect you,” he whispers. “I will protect you and care for you, just as I always have. But I shall love you, too, even if you will not love me. I am here for one thing, to remind you that you are not alone. And I shall do that. I swear it.”
