    You gladly walked along the flower beds of the royal garden. Each tulip and daisy was perfect along with the trees and small pond that housed gorgeous koi fish. You sat yourself on a bench under the overhang of two apple trees.

    You observed the palace and how sturdy it was for being ancient. Similar to your castle back on Alfheim it was large with the intent of housing a large royal family. You shuddered at the thought of having a family of your own. Icky, Sticky children, a demanding husband or wife. It sounded like too much yet a husband you were getting in a few weeks.

    You plucked a few petals from a daisy and tossed them into the mulch of the flower beds. Each petal glowed a shimmery gold before growing into more flowers.

    "Princess Y/n, breakfast is ready." A guard informed you from the gate.

     "Thank you," you smiled and rushed past him down the corridor. You decided to check if Lola had delivered Loki's breakfast to him. You pushed the concrete doors open with great force.

Loki was still sound asleep, but on the nightstand next him was a tray of food. You approached to make sure it wasn't poisonous. You hovered your fingers over the meal and let gold shimmer down.

There was no poison but there was a note that peaked out from under the tray. You slipped it out and scanned the words.

From Princess Y/n, your future bride. Was all that was written. You chuckled and placed it back under the still heated tray. Hopefully he would wake up before it cooled. You turned on your heel and tiptoed out of his chambers and down the hall to breakfast.

"Good morning," Frigga was first to greet you when you stepped into the dining hall.

"Good morning, your majesty," you dipped into a curtsey and made your way to your usual spot.

    "Y/n what have we talked about?" She scolded.

     "My apologies," smiled warmly and began to pile food onto your plate.

     "Where is Loki?" Thor whispered from across the table.

     "He didn't sleep much last night, so he's resting now." You informed him. He nodded and took a gulp of his orange juice.

     "Why didn't he sleep last night?" He inquired.

     "He decided to sleep on the couch like an idiot," you replied, "a selfless idiot." You added.

      "You and him have that in common," Thor replied with food in hismouth.

      "Did you just call me dumb?" You jokingly scoffed.

      "You know what I meant. You're selfless, I think thats what draws him to you." He laughed.

     "I guess something has to if we're going to marry," you replied and began to dig into your food.

      "I'm sure it will all work out," Sif chimed from beside Thor.

    After breakfast, you retreated back to Loki's quarters. When you returned, he was awake and happily eating the breakfast Lola had brought.

     "I'm going to take a gamble and say that you did not write this note," he greeted you and held up the slip of paper Lola had left with the breakfast.

    "No, Lola did," you laughed and grabbed the paper from him.

   "Lola?" He tilted his head.

    "She's a maid, I met her this morning." You explained.

    "You would be one to make friends with the maids," Loki laughed and placed the empty tray down on the nightstand next to him.

    "What can I say, I'm a selfless idiot," you joked.

    "That you are, darling." He agreed.

    "How did you sleep, your majesty?"

    "Better, do you mind if I sleep here tonight? I can not stand the couch."

    "Of course, its your bed."

    "Our bed now,"

    "Right, ours," You whispered.

    "Speaking of ours, let me help you unpack. That tower of boxes is ruining the aesthetics of our space." Loki segued to the subject that had been bothering him.

    "You won't stop bothering me until I take care of it will you?" You sighed.

     "Nope!" He smiled innocently.

     "You are incorrigible," you told him and lifted yourself from the bed.

     "I've been told," he chuckled and followed you to the stack of boxes.

     "Lets get to work." You joked and cracked your knuckles.
