Knight (Loki x Male! Reader)

So just a quick note for all of you, (Y/N) = your name and I've made it so you can decide who Loki was fighting against so there is no enemy really mentioned insert your own and enjoy.





Loki lay on the ground for what felt like forever just breathing as slowly as he could to prevent any more pain then he was already in. Loki couldn’t focus on anything as his sight blurred around the edges before slowly collapsing inwards till he was barely able to keep the darkness at bay. Pain, pain and more pain that’s all he could focus on as the warm stickiness of his own blood pooled beneath him as well as inside his armor making him rather uncomfortable. Loki actually huffed a little laugh at the thought that he was worried about something so trivial as being in discomfort when he was possibly dying from blood loss or from what he could tell were internal injuries. Loki closed his eyes not just cause it felt better to close them but also to try an attempt at summoning his magic to heal himself however it was all in vein once again as many times previous it slipped from his grasp. Suddenly Loki felt hands wrapping around him, pulling him up in to the air before leaning him against a very firm chest, he would have been startled maybe even in panic if he weren’t so weak…weak, that was something Loki thought he’d never associate with himself. Loki couldn’t see yet through the fog that clouded his vision but he could smell the familiar scent that told him immediately that it was (Y/N) who was carrying him. Loki tried to remain conscious of his surroundings even if it was only by hearing or touch but eventually the darkness won out sending him into a dreamless slumber from which he could only pray to wake from.

You carried Loki from the barren lands back to the Asgard palace ignoring the looks of scorn you received once you’d returned with the fallen prince. You walked through the halls swiftly with blood dripping in your wake from Loki’s battered, broken body that sat in your arms currently while you rushed him to your chambers and demanded that the healers be summoned. You pressed the double doors to your chambers open with your shoulder before striding over to the bed where you gently laid Loki on the covers to begin removing his armor gasping as the blood that was trapped under it was finally allowed to flow free. Loki gave a small moan as he arched his back in response to the air suddenly hitting the wounds covering his torso including the one that was currently draining the life slowly from him on his sternum. You heard the healers cross the thresh hold to your room at that moment their footsteps hastening once they saw the blood flowing from Loki on to the bed beneath him as the wound reopened. You were shoved aside as the healers began to work on Loki as swiftly as they possibly could using both simplistic means as well as technological ones including placing healing stones around Loki’s body before pulling energy from them to pool all at once over the severe slash to his sternum.

Loki could feel hands, lots of hands all over him as his mind slowly began to come back in to focus though he still felt no desire to open his eyes. Voices now, multiple voices including the voice of (Y/N) speaking almost as if he were a hundred miles away or perhaps he was under water Loki couldn’t be certain. Loki clawed at the darkness that was engulfing his mind trying desperately to pull it away so he could think clearly again suddenly pain snaked it’s way through his body wiping any intelligent thought from his brain. Loki could feel his vocal cords contract as a scream wrenched it’s way out of his chest only causing more pain to build that’s when he felt restraints around his wrists and ankles but not the magic inhibiting ones that he was familiar with. Loki could feel his body tiring before finally sagging to the mattress under him while the darkness consumed his consciousness once more. Loki could feel the world slowly coming back to him again but this time the pain was dulled by quite a substantial amount to where he could almost bare it but he could still feel a pair of hands on his body that’s when he realized that he was surrounded by water. Loki tried to focus a little more discovering that one of the hands was wrapped around his shoulders holding him up as a cloth gently glided over his bare flesh, his cheek was pressed against a cotton covered shoulder that once again smelled like Y/N. Loki normally would have complained about being handled in such a manner however first off he was too exhausted and second he never minded when Y/N touched him no matter what the context. It was as if consciousness was so close that Loki could simply reach out to grab it but yet it stayed just out of his reach in the distance, mocking him with it’s presence just as his magic was also doing.

You had washed Loki of the caked on blood and dirt after the healers had finished with him then you’d taken the fallen prince back to your bed where you laid him under some fresh covers. Loki’s complexion had always been fair but he was quite pale at the moment as well as fragile definitely not a word you would have ever associated with Loki in the past. You watched as the slight figure of Loki was practically drowning in the night cloths you’d supplied him with but they were all you could scrounge up at the moment especially seeing as Loki locked his room using magic every time he left it. You sat in a chair next to the bed watching Loki sleep with one of your legs crossed over the other, one hand propped up your cheek while the other was draped over the arm of the chair. You watched Loki’s chest slowly rise then fall with every shaky breath he took occasionally stuttering more then likely from pain that would occasionally wreck his body. People had scorned you as well as Loki for falling in love the way you had not to mention the fact that you were both male didn’t help the issue luckily neither of you cared about technicalities. Loki had been, unbelievably shy to approach you so that had resulted in you making the first move however once things were out in the open both of you just let your emotions take the lead. You had been a prince from another realm who found himself on Asgard then you started falling for prince Loki and before you knew it the both of you were smitten resulting in you moving into the palace just to be close to Loki then this happened. You were the one to fault for this cause you should have been paying better attention when Loki didn’t come home right away from his mission or when the guards from his group hadn’t returned either. You found the group dead with Loki missing but luckily there had been a trail left for you to follow leading straight to Loki’s badly injured, unconscious body.

Loki finally felt the fog truly beginning to flee this time as the world slowly came back into focus around him. Sounds at first then feelings such as pain unfortunately that throbbed through him causing a small coarse moan to escape his dry throat that’s also when he heard a chair move across the tiled floors followed by a couple swift footsteps before a firm yet gentle hand pressed to his shoulder. Loki could feel the covers beneath his body now as the world grew a little clearer he could also make out some of the words that Y/N was saying.

“Loki, can you hear me?” You asked

Loki tried to respond but his throat was hoarse as well as a little sore from screaming perhaps. Loki forced his eyes to open this time wincing immediately as the early morning sunlight streamed through the windows lighting the room but he could still make out the figure looming over him as Y/N. Loki could feel his lips curve into a slight smile as he continued to blink his eyes in an attempt to clear the haze from them as a familiar large hand came to rest on his forehead. Loki loved how cool the hand was against his warm skin, which was unusual in itself cause as a frost giant his skin was normally quite cold to the touch even in his disguise but he didn’t dwell on that right now he simply pressed into the hand that was on his forehead. You moved your hand from Loki’s forehead to his cheek then over to the other feeling out his temperature only to discover he might be running a fever with that you gingerly grabbed some water from the stand next to your bed. Loki’s green eyes followed your movements then once he understood what you were doing he tried to sit up but yelped as pain shot through him immediately causing you to shake your head.

“Take it easy, Loki” You soothed as you planted one knee on the bed then gently wrapped an arm under his shoulders to ease him up. Loki hated feeling this way, hated having so little control of himself but most of all he hated being so weak, fragile, feeble but he took the water from you nonetheless cause at least he could do that much. After sipping the clear liquid Loki’s throat felt better so he decided to try his hand at talking again.

“T-Thank you” Loki managed to rasp out as you lowered him back to the mattress

“Your welcome” You said simply feeling a thrill run down your spine at hearing Loki speak again. You traded the glass of water for cloth that you poured some fresh cool water onto before gently pressing it to Loki’s forehead earning a slighted moan of relief from him as you did so.

“Wh-where am I?” Loki asked still not completely focused

“Your in my chambers Loki,” You said still patting the cloth around Loki’s face to cool him down. Loki could now tell it was indeed (Y/N’s) chamber’s as he looked around with the last of the haze gone he could clearly make out the room, he could also feel the bandages wrapped around his torso reminding him suddenly of what had happened to him.

“I was attacked…” Loki whispered

“Yes, you and your group who were all killed” You informed him

“They dragged me off to take me prisoner but when I fought back they tried to kill me” Loki continued mostly just running through the memories that were popping into his head.

“We figured that out but Loki…” You trailed off placing the cloth back on the stand

“Hmm?” Loki hummed curiously at your sudden pause

“Where’s your magic?” You asked carefully

“My…” Loki suddenly remembered how his magic had kept slipping through his fingers when he’d tried to use it while lying on the barren ground of the battlefield.

“The healers told me that your magic was very weak and that’s why you aren’t healing,” You informed him

“I…don’t…” Loki furrowed his brows as he tried desperately to remember what had happened during the fight that could have caused this anomaly.

“Don’t strain yourself, if you can’t remember then don’t force it” You explained trying to keep him calm. Loki wasn’t trying to remember strictly for you though, he genuinely wanted to know what had happened to him so he closed his eyes to concentrate on the battle that ensued after he was dragged off. Loki could remember making the first move followed by the retaliation for that action leading up to the moment when they thrust the blade into his sternum then sliced sideways causing him to wince at the memory. Loki suddenly recalled that just before they stabbed him that the one _____ had chanted some sort of incantation and that’s when he’d felt his magic drain from his body this memory caused Loki’s eyes to shoot open.

“They cast a draining spell on me” Loki stated

“A draining spell? Is there such a thing?” You wondered now sitting on the edge of the bed.

“Yes, it’s ancient magic that I thought was extinct” Loki explained

“Well we have an entire squadron out searching for the ones who did this too you so the magic won’t exist for much longer” You explained trying to put Loki’s mind at ease as you gently brushed a strand of stray hair from his face.

“My knight in shinning armor huh?” Loki scoffed sarcastically. You were simply brimming on the inside cause Loki’s sarcasm though annoying to some was how you determined how he was feeling and to hear it again meant he must be feeling better.

“Always” You shot back with a smile before leaning down to press a gentle kiss to Loki’s lips.
