Loki My Love

Marriage

It is now the day after your birthday, you are officially 17, not good, its only been a day and your mother is already looking for a husband for you, you never liked the idea of an arranged marriage but since you are a duchess you are required to marry well, you can't stop thinking of the kiss you shared with Loki and how after marriage you may never get to kiss him again, a tear escapes your eye as you stare at the wall, your parents are at lunch with Odin and Frigga so you are left alone.

 You head to the garden for a walk, the weather is sunny but cold, you sit by the pond and allow yourself to cry properly, your tears dropping into the water and making it ripple, out of nowhere  beautiful snake started crawling up your arm, it climbs up onto your shoulders and around your neck but instead of chocking you it crawls down the other arm, you lift it in front of you to admire it and then gently place it on the ground as you continue to cry, but it won't go away, you lift it again and plant a gentle kiss on its forehead as you whisper,

"Loki, why are you a snake?"

he transforms back and sat down next to you,

"How did you know it was me?"

"I know for a fact that none of the snakes in asgard are that beautiful"

you let out a small smile before returning your eyes to the pond, he brushes his fingers through your hair as he wipes away your tears,

"What's wrong?" he says calmly, "Why were you crying again?"

"I just can't stop thinking about how this time next year I'm going to be married off to someone and never see you or Thor again, for all I know they could ship me off to a whole different kingdom!" 

Loki smiles, almost like he knows something,

"And what if you were to marry me" he asked

"Then I would be much happier about all this..."

he smiles and leaves without another word, you know that look, he is hiding something. you go back to your chambers and see your mother waiting for you on your bed,

"Hello y/n, I to tell you something!"

"What is it?"

"you are betrothed to a handsome prince, you have been since you were born!"

"but mother I already told you, I don't want to marry someone I have never met!!"

"Oh but you've met this one!"

"Who is it?"

"Loki Laufeyson!"

your mouth drops open, how was this possible, is she being serious! you look at her shocked, you can't move, is this a dream,

"Darling are you upset by this?"

"N-no I'm just very surprised..."

"Well I already sorted it with Odin, I wanted you to marry someone you had known for a long time, at first I wanted you to marry Thor but Odin said he was already taken and suggested Loki, Isn't this wonderful, we are going to be real royals!"

you had always dreamed of this moment but never let yourself hope for it just incase it never happened, a small smile appears on your face as you sit on your bed.

30 minutes earlier at the palace

"Loki your father has summoned you." Frigga says with a large smile on her face, she is smiling, that means something good is happening, he rushes to his father and awaits the News,

"Loki my son, we have arranged a marriage for you."

"What?! Why me, I don't need to get married!"

"Well this girl comes from a very long bloodline and she is a beautiful one too!"

"I don't want to be married though! can't she marry Thor?"

"Thor is already taken plus I doubt you would like it seeing your best friend marry your brother."

"Wait-my best friend... am I marrying Y/N?!"

"Yes my son!"

he sits there speechless until his father dismisses him, he goes straight to the garden to see you sitting by the pond crying, he transforms him self into a snake and goes over to you, he knows you find snakes fascinating, after you figure out its him and he has left the garden he wanders back to his chamber. he is happy. you are happy. everyone is happy, for the first time ever, Loki feels pure golden happiness.
