*on Hold* Beauty & The Beast (Loki x Reader)

Chapter 9

Loki's POV

Closing the door after her dramatic exit, I sat on one of my chairs, thinking. If the curse isn't broke in at least 4 days, who knows what I would turn into...full Johtun? No, I won't let it get that far, I thought. I placed my elbows onto my knees, face planted in my hands. Why must I be so cruel? Why do I shut her out? I had that one moment to make everything up to her and I just mucked it up, horribly. I shook my head violently at my thoughts, gritting my teeth. She shouldn't be snooping around. What if she had found my rose? What would be the aftermath if she had made the time shorter for me? She would get hurt...killed even! Johtuns are a force to be reckoned with. Something about her made me feel...happy. I can't let her get killed because of my or her actions. From now on I wouldn't be rash, but kind to her. Ever since I was exiled I felt as if no one would care, or love me. But...she is different, right? She has to be different, she needs to love me. I now vow to make her 'visit' at this wretched castle as delightful as I can. I stood up and made my way to her room, a surprise in store for her.

Your POV

I bundled myself into the covers, gathering as much warmth as I can. Lumiere has went to his cabinet for the night and the fire had went out. A faint knock could be heard at the door to my chambers. Gathering myself into the covers, I stumbled to the door. I opened to door to see Loki standing there, his signature smirk playing at his lips.
"Cold, are we?"
"S-s-shush, L-L-Loki."
He made a face, as if he hasn't heard that name in years. A loud sigh erupted from his chest and he looked back up at me, no more snarky smile or smirk visible. Just those beautiful puppy eyes he used to show me when we were children.
"Would you care to accompany me to the sitting room since your so cold?"
I thought for a moment and nodded, placing the cove gingerly onto my bed. I shook slightly, the cold hitting my bare arms and ankles.
"T-This is why I don't w-wear nightgowns..." I mumbled. He appeared to hear because he made a small, yet deep chuckle.
"If you would like, you can wear some of my night clothes."
I blushed heavily, not knowing exactly why,"N-no. I'll probably warm up when we get to the sitting r-room."
He took off his outer jacket and placed it around my shoulders, smiling warmly. He seemed to notice his act of kindness and quickly assumed his position, leaving his coat cloaked around my shoulders. I smiled up at him,"You have a soft side,sometimes Loki. You should show it more."
"Perhaps I will."

If you haven't noticed, this chapter is actually a really big part in you and Loki's relationship status. It shows his heart melting a bit by his acts of kindness. If you have noticed this before I have told you, comment what you thought was the biggest (and best) part of the chapter! Bai my MARVELous people!
