Just remember me

Remember me, Carry your memory through time… — Loki… Sylvie is happy when she sees his warm, gentle eyes again in front of her. The lump in her throat grows, because she hasn’t seen him for so long. She steps forward, finding herself in his arms. The emptiness in her soul is filled for a moment when Sylvie feels the warmth of Loki’s body, catches his so familiar smell… Remember me, And no matter how long the hour is, I will rush to you through a thousand centuries… — Hello, Sylvie. His voice once again envelops her with its sound, causing pleasant goosebumps throughout her body. He hugs her tighter to him, runs his hand through her hair, over her cheek, as if he doesn’t believe that she is standing in front of him, that he can touch her, that he finally managed to see her again… — I’m so glad to see you… — he says with a tremble in his voice, and his heart is breaking from pain and at the same time from happiness… I ask, in your soul and mind, I was imprinted… I believe there is a place for me there, Just remember me. — And I’m very glad to see you, Loki, — Sylvie’s eyes shine with tears, and her heart clenches and unclenches, not allowing her to breathe. — I miss you so much… It’s so unusual that you’re not here right now. Sylvie would never have admitted it before, but she really did miss him a lot. Loki strokes her shoulders soothingly, although the same tears shine in his eyes… — And I really miss you all, — he replies.       — Everyone misses you very much, — Sylvia looks at him with eyes wet with tears, — Mobius even left TVA, I saw him today when he was looking through his past life…       — I know, — Loki answers quietly, — when you meet him again, tell him that I’m okay, and… Tell him that our friendship with him is the best thing that could ever happen in my life… He truly is a man with a heart of gold. Sylvie only silently nods her head affirmatively as a sign that she will fulfill this request, because the lump in her throat does not allow her to say anything… Remember me, Because from now on I’m alone… Sylvia is literally torn apart from the inside. She wants to tell him so much, to thank him for the fact that Loki gave them a chance for a quiet life, full of freedom of choice… He gave her freedom, giving himself in return… She so wants to tell him how important he is to her. — I’m so sorry that everything ended like this between us, Loki… — she whispers, finally gathering her courage, — forgive me for everything, if you can… When she said this, it was as if a stone had been lifted from her soul; It was really very important for her to ask for his forgiveness. Loki smiles softly. — I’ve never been angry with you, — he replies, leaning his forehead against hers, — and you forgive me, Sylvia, for not being able to show you in all this turmoil how important you are to me. For the fact that I couldn’t say then how much I love you… Remember me, Until now, while my soul lives, You know that my love will survive centuries… — Will you dance with me, Sylvie? — After a minute of silence, Loki suddenly asks, looking at her with a mischievous look. — Are you serious? — Sylvia smiles fleetingly and even laughs quietly. — How long have you been thinking about this request? — I just want to defuse the situation, — Loki replies, shrugging, — please, don’t deprive me of this opportunity… The almost pleading note in his voice touches Sylvie, and she allows him to gently lead her into a dance, music began to play around them, Sylvie didn’t know where it came from, and it didn’t matter. The two of them just wanted to share this short moment, they both wanted to lose themselves in each other, they both wanted this moment to last forever. Sylvie was very happy to cling to Loki’s chest like this, listening to his heartbeat like the most beautiful melody. Let time not defeat us, We can’t stop his progress, Despite him, I ask: don’t leave, just look me in the eyes… — Stay with me a little longer, — Sylvia asks quietly, to which Loki only gently kisses the top of her head. — Don’t leave me, please… They then continue dancing, enjoying the moment. — You know, Sylvia, — Loki replies after several minutes of silence, — while I’m here, I’d like to do something… Sylvie looks up questioningly, and at that moment Loki kisses her tenderly. She immediately leans forward and kisses him back, closing her eyes. Sylvie feels Loki squeezing her tighter in his arms, not wanting to let go, but, alas, he has to… — I’ve wanted to do this for so long, — he says when the kiss breaks. But even now he leaves fleeting, tender kisses all over his beloved’s face, as if he still can’t get enough of her… — What a pity that the end of our story turned out to be exactly like this, Loki, — Sylvie sighs, snuggling into his chest again, — we are so alone now… — Alas, — Loki’s face becomes even sadder, — but I could not do otherwise. You’re all safe now, and that’s the most important thing… — Thank you for everything, Loki, — says Sylvie, — and forgive me again for everything… Loki gently strokes his beloved on the back, although from now on he is doomed to eternal loneliness, but at the moment Loki’s heart is filled with happiness from this fleeting meeting with his beloved. It’s just a pity that this happiness will end soon… — I also thank you, Sylvia, for sharing my loneliness at least for a moment, — Loki replies, smiling sadly. — Is there really nothing that can be done? — Unable to bear it, Sylvie suddenly asks, looking into his eyes, as if trying to find an answer there, — Nothing at all? I would really like to do something for you. Don’t blame yourself Because I know I didn’t do everything in vain… Wait for me in your dreams And just remember me… — Just remember about me, — his quiet voice will carry this phrase into her mind in a soft whisper before Sylvie opens her eyes the next morning, and all their touches, dance and tender kiss will turn out to be just a sweet dream… — That’s all you can do for now. Sylvie’s eyes open and she wakes up on the couch. Sylvie looks around her apartment, where she has lived for a long time. A soundtrack song for a Midgardian cartoon was playing in the headphones, which she really liked and downloaded it separately to her player. Sylvia wiped tears from her cheeks. Her heart sank painfully from the realization that she was alone… Again. — I always remember you, Loki, — Sylvie whispers softly as the last chord of the song plays. Emotions are asking to come out, and Sylvie does not hold them back, burying her face in the pillow. Is it fair that Loki is now forced to remain trapped inside the Tree of Time forever? So much time has passed, and she still cannot come to terms with the fact that he will never be around again. She cannot come to terms with the fact that Loki now has billions of stories in his power, but none of them have a happy ending… At least for the two of them… And this cannot be changed from now on.
