Moody (Loki x Reader)
Loki softly hummed as your fingers traced his collarbone. They made their way up, lightly caressing his neck and then running through his hair. “As much as I’d love to spend the day in bed with you dear, I must travel to the tower to assist with the avengers’ upcoming project,” he said calmly as he slowly sat up. After everyone had finally realized that the New York attack was not his fault, they had allowed him some freedom with the condition that he cooperated with SHIELD and adhered to any of their guidelines.
Usually he helped train any recruits who used magical powers and sometimes he would participate in missions. Although there was a mutual distrust between Loki and the avengers, he had definitely grown closer with each member and possibly even liked them.
Loki made his way to your bathroom to take a shower and you made your way to the kitchen to whip up breakfast clad in an extra large T-Shirt and stretchy shorts. You grabbed the frying pan and started to make fried eggs. You popped some bacon on the griddle and two English muffins in the toaster. He was was just leaving the bedroom, prepared to leave for the day, as you finished the meal and made two plates for the both of you. You both ate and you kissed him on the cheek before he walked out the door.
You also worked at SHIELD where you used your healing powers to assist the team during battles. You also helped with some logistics regarding uniforms, weaponry, etc. Recently, there had more days than normal where they hadn’t needed you. This was because you had been banned from going on any missions or partaking in any dangerous activities. Why? Because you were pregnant!
When you had told Loki that you were pregnant with his child a couple months ago he had been overjoyed. He was also nervous about his heritage and his ability to be a father, but you always helped to console him when he became doubtful. As you cleaned the dishes, you smiled and put a hand to your stomach. You were a little more than three months and beginning to show. Once you finished, you went out to run some errands and complete the rest of your daily activities.
When you finally got home, Loki was waiting for you with dinner on the table. You greedily ate way more than usually to satisfy your large appetite. He chuckled and said, “I’m glad you enjoy my cooking so much love”. You laughed and said “the baby definitely does”.
Because you were both tired, it wasn’t long until you started to get ready for bed. You took off your dress, one of the few items of clothing that still fit, and searched around for some PJ’s. While you were moving some clothes around, you saw some of your lingerie. “That definitely won’t fit me now” you thought and glanced over at the large hanging mirror. “I’m getting so fat,” you thought, sadly.
Loki noticed you looking in the mirror and commented “wow the baby is getting big”. He was thinking about how wonderful it was to see the life inside you grow. You didn’t see it in the same way.
You looked back at him with tears in your eyes. You couldn’t help it, you were hormonal and pregnant. You grabbed the night shirt and ran to the bathroom to change and finish getting ready. He was shocked. What happened? Were you in pain?
He busted into the bathroom, concern evident on his features, “what’s wrong?” Still crying, you started mumbling, “first you thought I was eating too much and now you think I’m fat and you won’t think I’m attractive anymore. You won’t love me anymore and then you won’t want to raise a baby together.”
He stood there, completely dumbfounded at your outburst. How could you possibly think he found you anything but the most beautiful woman he had ever seen? Had he been neglecting you lately? After a few seconds, he took a few steps forward and wrapped you in his arms. He leaned into your ear and murmured, “You are the most beautiful, strongest, most wonderful woman I’ve ever met. I am so lucky to have you in my life and so grateful for all the things you’re doing to give us a healthy child. I love you so much and there is no way I could ever possibly find you unattractive”.
You started crying harder and Loki began to panic. You turned around and kissed him. He froze for a second and then returned it, surprised. “I love you too,” you replied, “these are happy tears, I promise”. He looked hard at you to confirm that you were, in fact, alright before leading you to the bed, “honey, why did you think I felt that way about you?” You looked away, embarrassed, “I don’t know. I was just feeling hormonal and insecure I guess. Sorry”.
Loki just smiled. He would navigate a million hormone fueled mood swings to help you feel better.
