Warnings: death, obviously lol😂

A loud blaring alarm sounds randomly, making you jump off of the sofa you were gently falling asleep on. You grip the sword on your belt and look around. You watch as Valkyrie runs out the doors to see what is happening and you wait.

You sit down on the sofa again and inhale, thinking.

The doors burst open and Loki runs in with worry traced across his face. You furrow your brows and stand up immediately and hold his hands.

"What's wrong? Why did Thor sound the alarm?" You ask and he stares into your eyes as if it will be the last time, making sure to remember exactly how they look.

"Thanos. He's coming. He knows about what I took from Asgard." He says in a huff and looks down sadly, blaming himself.

You tilt his chin up gently. "What we took. We both took the cube. It wasn't just you, Loki. Let me help—"

"No way." He interrupts you, shaking his head immediately dismissing the idea.

"You're my best friend. Where you go, I'll go." You protest.

"You're right. We are best friends. But no matter how much you care about me, you'll always put our people first. Which is a reason why I lov—care about you." He smiles, his eyes tracing over your face.

"And?"

"And you have to get them off of this ship immediately. Women and children first, then try and squish as many as you can on the pod." He explains.

"The pod? There won't be enough room." You furrow your brows with worry.

"I know. But, you have to be strong and save as many people as you can. Okay?" His cold hand touches your cheek softly and you nod sadly.

"I'll do it." You say with more determination.

He smiles.

He takes his hand away and let's go of your other, about to turn but you pull his shoulder towards you sharply.

"Just don't... Don't die, okay?" You ask seriously and his eyes soften and he nods.

"Cross my heart." He says  and you pull him into a tight embrace.

"God I wish I didn't love you right about now." You whisper against his ear and he chuckles softly.

"Why's that?" He smiles, his cold heart aflutter after you finally say you love him.

"Then it wouldn't be so hard to believe you and let you go." You frown. "But, you said it. My people. My responsibility." You squeeze him once and let him go.

"Now, get the hell outta here." You smile though tears spring to your eyes. He looks at you one last time and smiles before nodding his head and running out the doors to find his brother.

You take a deep breath and start wrangling up your people.

4 days later...

Val stands at your side as you overlook what has become of the asgardian ship that was once so vibrant and full of life, now turned to darkness and hollowness.

"I have to go in." You say without looking at her.

"I know." She says and nods her head. "Be careful." She adds before walking away to talk to a little girl who wants to know where her dad is.

You took off in a pod and now stand in the rubble.

Your heart aches for the asgardian people you had to leave behind. And you close your eyes upon seeing Heimdal.

You crouch down next to his figure and close his tormented eyes gently with your fingers.

You swallow and take a deep breath before shakily standing up.

You turn your head and your knees fall weak. Your heart beats pick up speed and tears fall instantly from your eyes when they fall on your best friend.

"Loki." You breathe out and run to over to him.

Your legs give out and you still check for a pulse and press your head against his chest but when you feel how weak his neck is...
You know.

You straighten your back and inhale deeply.

"You promised, bastard." You tried joking, as your way of healing though tears continuously fell from your sad eyes.

You touch his cold hand and sit there with him for a moment.

"You're Loki Laufeyson. God of Mischief... This isn't over." You say determined to find a way to bring your friend back.

You pick his stiff body up and haul him back to your pod.

You'll find a way.
