Loki's hostage

Asgard

Another day, another planet.
"Loki, we need a plan"
You both walk through a crowd of people (you say people, they have bodies that resemble people, however their faces are alien to you)
"Come on, over here" you take a seat on a near by table, trying not to stare at the passers by.
"The Tempad, let me look at it, I'm not convinced that we can't precisely input a time and place of where we want it to take us, we can't just run forever, hoping for the best"
He doesn't hand it over , you frown at him
"Loki" you hold out your hand
"Ive looked at all available options, there just isn't one, if i cannot work it out, i don't suppose you would be able too"
"Don't piss me off Loki, hand it over"
Again he doesn't "what game are you playing?
"If i have to pry it from your dead hands Loki i will, don't tempt me"
"Oh fighting talk, you will have to do better than that, I've fought with a Rogers before, and well i think you're all talk"
"My brother fights for whats right for him and our country, right now, i fight for me"
You stand up.
"Last chance Loki, give it to me"
He looks over your shoulder
"We need to go!" He stands up quickly
"Yes i know we do, back to Earth, to New York"
"Will you be quiet, we need to go" he stares harder over your shoulder
" they're here"
You grab a coat from the stall next to you, wrapping it over your shoulders and head.
"Quickly" he grabs your hand
"Loki, i want to go home" you sternly look at him
"All in due course"
You both gain momentum and start running, he opens another time door.
"Try and trust me" he looks to you.
You see something in his eyes, its been there the whole time, your gut telling you to believe him. You step through the door.
***
"Wow"
You look around, looking up at the grand paintings on the ceiling, the golden walls and pillars.
"This place is amazing, where are we?"
You continue to walk, turning in circles looking at your surrounding.
" i thought places like this only existed in fairy tales"
Two Beautiful giggling women swooning past you in their silk dresses, armoured muscular men in pursuit of them.
Loki catches a glimpse of you. He turns quickly, a smile forming on his lips.
"This is Asgard"
You stop. Staring at him mouth slightly parted
"This is your home?"
He nods, a proud smile on his face.
"And what are we doing here Loki" your tone quickly changing
"Is this your plan? Ignore my request to go home, just so you can go to yours, honestly, i don't know why i keep thinking there is a kind warm side to you, because every time i do, you either do or say something that causes my thoughts to come crashing back down"
He presses his lips together, looking around he can see people rousing at the impending argument
"Shush" he whispers, walking closer to you
"No i wont" your voice becoming louder
"Not until you tell me why we are here" you demand
He starts awkwardly smiling at the few faces now immersed in your show.
"Amelia, you need to be quiet, we're rousing an audience" he stares at you wide eyed
"And so what, I've had enough of your games Loki, pass me the Tempad I'm going, you stay here and do what you need to do, you're not dragging me along with you"
You lunge, grabbing onto his jacket. His hand gripping your wrist.
"Loki, enough" you shout as you raise your other arm. His other hand grabbing that one, he looks down at you, your anger and frustration building, you can feel your heart pounding in your chest, yet you aren't attempting to fight back.
He stares into your eyes, pushes you against the wall and plants his lips on yours.
The action shocks you, you take a sharp inhale of breath before succumbing to his soft lips, he lowers your arms, and places his hand on your face, you push harder into the kiss, feeling his tongue slip onto yours. He forces you harder into the wall, causing you to let slip a light moan, you feel a smile spread across his lips.
He pulls back and in quick succession you slap him across the face. He stands there, rubbing his face, a slight smile in the corner of his mouth.
"I guess i deserved that"
"What was that?" You question, using a finger you glide it over your bottom lip, wiping him off you.
"I told you to be quiet, you didn't listen, so i took it upon myself to stop you talking"
He walks off. Your anger building again, you take a few deep breathes, you just need the Tempad, then you can get as far away from him as possible. You follow his direction a few paces behind. He stops in his tracks, looks down at himself. He elegantly spins around, his hair flowing in the breeze he created.
"We need to change, we need to fit in"
He magics himself some clothes, his iconic black and green leather Asgardian coat and gold armour. You stand there waiting.
You feel a tingle over your body as you are stripped of your clothes, quickly replaced by a beautiful emerald green chiffon dress, accentuated at the waist with a gold belt, with leaf embroidery, your blonde hair draped over your shoulders.
You glance up after admiring your dress, to see Loki looking you up and down, he lightly bites his bottom lip before making eye contact with you and quickly turning around.
You smirk and start walking with him.
"So, are you going to tell me what were doing here?"
"Just something i want to take care of"
"And i have to come along? Can you not just sit me in a room and get one of these fine men to feed me grapes?" You say, ogling one as he passes by.
He rolls his eyes
"It somewhat pains me to say, but i might need your help"
"Wow, i might actually have to sit down after all" you chuckle.
He holds out his arm to stop you walking further.
"God, i was only joking" you hold your hands up.
He shakes his head, you get a glimpse of his face, his eyes watery, his skin even paler than usual.
"Loki?" You grab his arm.
"What is it?"
You look in the direction of his gaze. A beautiful woman with golden hair, dressed in blue silk and golden armour is walking towards you both.
Loki begins to shift nervously.
"Loki" she moves quickly towards him, as if she were floating.
She embraces him, his grip tight around her, you see his eyes close.
"Did your brother finally let you out, it was awful seeing you imprisoned like that" she pushes him back holding his shoulders.
She tilts her head in concern "you're demure is different, i must have words with your father and brother not to treat you like that"
He hasn't yet spoken a word, your eyes darting between the two.
"And you are? I apologise, i don't believe i have seen you around before, i assume a friend of Loki's, its hard to keep track sometimes"
She looks back to him
The comment arousing suspicion within you
"No, not a friend" you state, sharing a look with him
"More of an acquaintance" you smile at her
"Thats a shame, you are absolutely stunning, i can only hope for him to one day be partnered up with someone so beautiful, someone to take care of him when I'm gone" she holds on to your hands.
"I will leave you both to your plans" she places a kiss on his cheek, he holds onto her hand "stay a while longer" he begs
"Loki, things happen for a reason, you can't change that, what is supposed to happen will always happen, no matter what you try to do" she gives him a knowing look, she breaks her hand away, he watches her walk away, his chest sinking.
"Is that why we're here?" You break the silence
"I know pain and heartbreak when i see it"
You wait for him to speak, but he doesn't. He keeps staring at her.
