Day: 30 Royal Guard Loki x FTM!Reader
TW:Dead name,transphobic parents
âYour highness the king has requested your presence in the dining hallâ One of the guards informed you,you gave him a nod and dismissed him. Quickly changing before heading to the dining hall,you found your parents and your two sisters already sitting there. Your mother quickly noticed the new bruise on your arm.
âHave you been practicing with that sword again?âShe asked,her tone filled with disgust. You didnât respond,knowing if you did sheâd find something else to complain about. There was a moment of tense silence before your father stood up.
âIâve had enough of this,youâre a princess not a prince. We let you have your fun but now itâs over. By tomorrow I expect this phase to be overâHe yelled at you,everyone else was silent. You were used to it by now but then he said the words. âBecause I have already promised you awayâ The words you knew youâd hear eventually,every princess did,but you werenât a princess. You couldn't endure listening to him belittle you any further and quickly left.Â
When you got back to your room you started packing some of your things,not taking anything that you didnât absolutely need. You were almost finished packing,when there was a knock on your door. You quickly rushed to hide the bag,before answering the door. Both of your sisters stood there,they looked a bit hesitant before asking.
âCan we come in?â You backed away,letting them both in. âAre you leaving?â Lilian asked.
âI canât stay here,Iâm sorry. But if I stay Iâll be trapped for the rest of my lifeâYou hugged both of them. âI really donât want to leave you two. I love you and I hate having to do thisâ
âY/N we understand,weâre not here to stop youâRosalie stepped closer to you,she handed you a small box,inside it was a necklace. It was a silver chain with a ring on it,both of your sisters' names etched on it. âWeâre going to miss youâ
âBut itâs for the bestâ
âDonât worry,Iâm sure weâll find each other again somedayâ
Itâs been two years since you left your family,during that time you finished your transition. No one that met you recently had a single idea,you had never been happier. During that time you had also traveled to Asgard,joined the royal guard and saved Loki which ended up with you being his new guard. Everyone told you that there was no way heâd accept that,but surprisingly he didnât seem to mind. He was never hostile with you,he was nice to you, sometimes it sounded like he was flirting with you. And youâd be lying if you said you didnât have a crush on him.
Odin had asked all the guards to be extra vigilant,since some royal family was visiting. You had been sticking closer to Loki and he didnât mind,he trusted you more than anyone since he knew youâd do anything to protect him. The day they arrived everyone gathered in the throne room to greet them,as usual you were standing beside Loki. The second they walked in and you saw them,it started getting harder to breathe. Your family,they looked mostly the same but they didnât seem to recognize you,or they didnât really pay attention to you. With every step your father took closer,it was getting harder to breathe and your hands started shaking slightly. You felt Lokiâs hand on yours,making you turn to him.
âAre you alright?â Your hand started shaking even more and you couldnât breathe,you couldnât even answer his question.Â
âIâm sorry my prince,youâll have to excuse meâÂ
âGo aheadâ You left calmly,not looking at them or saying anything. Thankfully the halls were empty since everyone was busy protecting their guests. You practically fell to the floor,crying and breathing heavily. Gripping your hair you started shaking again,but this time you were worried about your sisters was your father planning on doing the same thing to them. You felt someoneâs arms around you. âY/N itâs okay,Iâm here just breatheâLoki had his arms around you,his fingers through your hair. You held onto him tightly,crying into his shoulder.
Later that night Loki asked you to come to his room,you assumed to talk about what happened earlier today. You werenât sure what you could say,youâd probably just have to tell him the truth. Standing in front of his door,your hand hovered over the door. Finally you knocked,he opened the door and let you in. He seemed nervous,which you didnât expect,maybe this wasnât about you.
âMy prince, are you alright?âYou asked, breaking the silence.Â
âThereâs something Iâve been wanting to tell you. I just want you to make me a promise,that what Iâm about to say wonât change anything between usâ You started to freak out âDid he know? How did he find out?âÂ
âOf course. And I have something to tell you tooâ It didnât matter whether he knew or not,youâd rather heâd hear it from you than someone else.
âMe first. Ever since that day when you saved me,I was so happy that you cared so much about me. To the point where you jumped in between me and that dark elf,you saved me barely knowing anything about me. I highly doubt anyone else wouldâve done what you did. Just seeing how much you cared,I realized that I like you. Iâve never said this to anyone before and I never thought I ever would. Y/N I love youâ The last part made your heart hurt,did he really think that no one would love him?Â
âLokiâHe quickly corrected you
âLoki Thereâs something I need to tell you and I understand if you donât want me after hearing thisâ
âY/N thereâs nothing you could say that would make me not want to be with youâ You sat down on his bed,he sat down next to you.
âIâve never told anyone about my past,itâs not something I want to remember. I wasn't always like this,I-I was born as a woman.âYou paused,waiting for his reaction but he didnât seem to care. âI quickly realized that I was a man and told my family,as you can probably tell they didnât take it well. I changed my name and took up stuff like sword fighting. My parents didnât like that,they stopped me from sword fighting and put me into what they considered ladylike. They kept referring to me by the wrong name and telling other people to do the same,telling them that itâs just a phase. Always introducing me as their daughter,even when the person they introduced me to could clearly see that I wasn't a woman. The only thing that got me through was my sisters,they always corrected people when they got my name wrong.â
âThey mustâve really liked youâ You reached to the ring on your necklace.
âThey did. I just dealt with my parents but one night two years ago,we sat down for dinner and my father started talking about how he arranged to marry me away to someone. That night I snapped,I couldnât take it anymore. I knew that if I didnât leave Iâd be trapped for the rest of my lifeâ As you finished talking,Loki wrapped his arms around you.
âIâm sorry you had to go through that,I can promise you that as long as Iâm here no one will dare say anything about youâHe let go of you,leaving one arm around your shoulder.
âSo you still want me?âHe moved his arm,pulling you closer to him.
âNothing would change thatâYou kissed him,moving closer. There was a knock on the door,making you pull away. Loki got up and answered the door,you recomposed yourself and stood behind Loki.Â
âYour highness, will you be joining our guests for tea?âHe turned to face you,you just nodded.
âYes I will and so will Y/NâHe closed the door and walked up to you. He kissed you again,letting you wrap your arms around his waist. He only pulled away when both of you were out of breath. âY/N I promise you if I find them Iâll make them pay for all the pain they caused youâ You didnât say anything about that,you just let go of him.
âYou should probably get readyâ
âYou too,youâre joining me right?â You didnât exactly wanna tell him who your parents were,but you didnât want to disappoint him.Â
âI donât know,theyâd probably think itâs weird for the royal guard to be sitting with themâ
âFirst of all youâre my guard and as I just said no one will dare say anything about youâ
âOkay,Iâll join youâHe gave you a quick kiss.
âGreat now go get readyâ
âLokiâHe stopped,turning to look at you âI love you tooâ
Through the entire tea,you avoided looking at your parents. Loki wanted you to sit down with them but you convinced him otherwise.Your dad was talking about something but you only caught the tail end of it.Â
âSo when do you wanna start planning for the wedding?â You froze,was he doing the samething to your sisters? You knew that he wanted some sort of alliance with Asgard,apparently this was the only way he knew how. You couldnât say anything but you didnât have to.
âWhat wedding?â Loki asked.
âThatâs been called off,I asked you here to talk about itâThankfully Odin spoke up,and you knew your father wouldnât dare say anything to him. Suddenly Odin asked. âDidnât you have another daughter,D/N? What happened to herâÂ
âSheâs no longer my daughterâThat moment you wanted to explode,you were never his daughter. You put your hand on Lokiâs shoulder and leaned in.Â
âCan I talk to you,alone?âHe got up and followed you taking a few steps away.Â
âI didnât wanna say anything but I canât stand it anymore. I canât stay here,Iâll assign someone else to guard you for the rest of the meeting.â He quickly grabbed your arm before you could leave.Â
âY/N Whatâs wrong? You can trust me with anythingâ You turned back to the table.
âItâs them,theyâre my parentsâ
âWhat!âLoki stormed away before you could stop him,walking up to the table he slammed his hand on it. Everyone froze,you quickly tried to pull him away.
âLoki donâtâ He was practically fuming as you tried to hold him back. âLoki! Heâs not worth itâ
âWhat are you talking about,what about all the years of pain and suffering heâs caused!âHe yelled at you,you never thought youâd have to do this. You grabbed both his arms,he didnât stop strugglingÂ
âStop,I donât want you to do thisâ He only stopped struggling when Lilian bolted up
âY/N!âYou let go of Loki and turned to your sister. âY/Nâ She ran up to you,hugging you. Rosalie quickly did the same. âWe missed youâ
âI missed you tooâYour father stood up,making his way towards you. Loki quickly stood between you. âLoki!â
âDonât even try to stop me! I said Iâd never let someone treat you like this and I mean itâ You had no doubt that Loki wouldâve stabbed him if Odin didn't step in between them. He turned to your father.Â
âI think you should leaveâ
âFine,Lilian,Rosalie come hereâHe called them,but they didnât move.Â
âNo,weâre not going anywhere with you. Y/N was right,the night he left he said something that stuck with us. âIf I stay Iâll be trapped for the rest of my lifeââ
âHe was right and weâre not you keep us trapped any longerâ He was fuming as he stormed out.
âSo did you plan on telling me?âLoki asked
âWho your parents were?â Or that you were royaltyâ He asked
âI donât know. I never wanted to see him again. But my sisters,I care about themâ
âWell they can stay here as long as you wantâHe wrapped his arms around your waist,pressing his chest against your back and his lips onto your cheek.Â
