Loki My Love

ballgown

your mother has decided to host a Ball in honor of your engagement and you are actually exited for once, you hate big events, but for Loki its worth it, you put on your uncomfortably tight corset and begin putting on your make up and doing your hair, the gown your mother chose for you was a long, light pink with a complex embroidery, it had a rose gold belt and a matching headband, your shoes are also rose gold with a crystal heel,

after you finish getting ready you make your way down to the ballroom to see a large crowd of people, although you are quite extroverted, you don't like being fake with people and at a ball, everyone is fake. you walk in, tripping slightly on the long dress and feel someone take your hand, you turn and see Loki, he kisses your hand and leads you to the dance floor,

 unexpectedly, the spotlight lands on you two, he looks at you with a devilish smile on his face as he pulls you in by your waist and leads you into a smooth waltz across the dance floor, you have been practicing this dance with Loki for the past 10 years every time you had the chance, you knew it so well that you could now execute it perfectly, all eyes were on you as you glided gracefully across the marble floor, he twirled you around as your dress floated through the air, the fake smile had been wiped off your face, although it was nothing new, dancing with Loki was always a treat.

after the dance ended he whispered in your ear,

"Lets get out of here."

you giggled as he led you out to one of the palace gardens, you had never been to this one before since it was on the other side of the palace and you didn't go there often, you lay in the grass looking up at the stars, you let out a loud sigh and allowed yourself to breath, Loki sat up and looked at you, admiring your perfect face and body, he loved all of you, all the scratches and scars you got on your childhood adventures, all the imperfections every inch of you he loved, he opened his mouth to speak and closed it again, you sat up and looked at him,

"What is it?"

"Oh nothing you need to worry about..."

"Is Loki Laufeyson keeping a secret from me?" you say in a slightly patronizing voice, he loos at you and lets out a half smile, 

"Have you heard about... well us?"

"you mean have I heard about the fact that I have been betrothed to my best friend since the day I was born?" you reply chuckling lightly,

"Well.. yes... how do you feel about it?" 

"Since I'm going to have to marry you anyway I might as well tell you that I have had a crush on you since our first dance together...?" your eyes move to the ground and you blush, he pulls you in for a hug and kisses your forehead, it starts to rain and he scoops you up into his arms and teleports you to the bandstand,

 you both sit down looking out onto asgard, you rest your head on his shoulder and your eyelids start feeling heavy, it takes him a while to notice but when he realizes your asleep he panics slightly, he knows he cant go into your chambers so he resorts to going to his, he carries you through the rain knowing he cant teleport into the palace because of the shield, by the time your in his room your hair and dress are soaking wet, he knows its indecent but he doesn't want you to catch a cold so he undresses you and removes your corset, he slips you into one of his shirts knowing that it will be like a dress on you, your cheeks are rosy red and you sniffle a little, he can feel you shivering so he wraps you in his duvet, he climbs in next to you trying to keep his distance, you roll over and lay your head on his chest, he knows he cant move without waking you so he wraps his arms around you and falls asleep. 

the next morning Loki awakens to find your arms and legs wrapped around him, he slowly moves your body away from his as he tries not to wake you up, when he finally manages to escape from your grasp he goes to get dressed, he comes back and strokes your face, his mind is filled with thoughts of you,

she is so beautiful when she sleeps,

I want to crawl back into bed and hug her for the rest of eternity 

her hair is so soft

he manages to pull himself back into reality as he takes a sip of water, he calls for a maid and she shows up almost instantly

"Prince Loki, you called?"

"Yes, I need you to take these and have them washed and put back in Y/N's room." he hands her your damp clothes,

"Of course your majesty, anything else?"

"Yes, bring some clean dry and comfortable clothes back here for her, and not a word of this to anybody or I will have you sacked!"

"Yes sir." she says trembling slightly as she walks away.

a few minutes go by and you start to wake up, you open your eyes and see Loki reading a book, slowly you get up and notice your not wearing your own clothes you panic wondering who undressed you then you realize, Loki, you smile at the thought of him caring for you and sit in front of him. he lowers his book and smiles,

"morning sleeping beauty" 

you smile back and roll your eyes,

"How do we plan on getting me to my chambers before anyone else wakes up?"

"Simple, You walk through the halls and into your room!"

"And then I get spotted in your clothes and everyone assumes something much worse!"

"Don't worry, I have a maid bringing you some clothes right now."

"Great now I have to get into a corset at 4am!"

"do you only speak in sarcasm? I asked the maid to bring you comfortable clothes!" he says smiling at you still,

"Oh- thank you Loki..." you say feeling slightly bad about how sarcastic you had been,

"Don't stress about it darling, I have everything under control." he brings your face to his and kisses you softly,

after the maid brings your clothes you go into the bathroom to change, she has brought you an ankle length blue silk dress, it has no corset and no annoyingly long sleeves, you forgot about this dress, you walk out and slip on your shoes, before you leave Loki grabs your arm and pulls you toward him, he wipes the smudged eyeliner from under your eyes and lets you go, 

you are walking towards your chambers when suddenly Odin stops you, you turn to face him and curtsy,

"Good morning y/n, don't bother with all the curtsying and bowing now,"

you rise and look up at him,

"What are you doing up so early my dear?" he asks

"I- I just went on an early morning walk that's all..." you reply shakily

"ok then, I shall see you at dinner Goodbye!"

you give a quick bow and walk away, dinner? were you having dinner with Odin? last time you did that you were 13! all those etiquette lessons your mother put you through were finally going to pay off.

once your back in your room you flop on to your bed in relief, you had just lied to the All-father himself and gotten away with it!
By the time you managed to get to your room you realized it was 5am, you have lived in the castle all your life and yet you still get lost, you climb into bed before the maids arrive and pretend to sleep, the truth is you can't, you yearn for Lokis warm arms wrapped around your body and decide to have a shower.

7am

You exit the shower and dry yourself up, you slip into your nightgown and lay in bed, doing your best to look like you slep there, at 7:10 sharp Emma, your personal servant, Enters with your breakfast, she places it on your bedside table and curtsies,
"Anything I can help with?"
"No thankyou Emma."
She takes a step towards you and looks to the floor,
"Erm- Miss Y/n... may I ask you a question?"
"You may."
"How come you weren't here last night, my peer came in here this morning and asked me to fetch you your most comfortable dress but you were not in bed?"
"Well Emma, I ask of you to keep this between us but I slept in Lokis bed last night!" You let out a giggle as emmas mouth drops open,
"Did- did you..."
"Oh hevens no, how can you be so dirty minded!"
She frowns and looks to the floor but you place your hand on the young girls shoulder and look her in the eyes,
"Its ok I was only joking."
"So you did not sleep with master loki?"
You let out a laught and shake your head, she leaves the room and you begin to eat.
