Mystifying the Captain (Steve X OC)

Chapter 23 - A Golden palace

(Cassia POV)

I woke up in Loki's room. He was sleeping soundly next to me. He looks rather beautiful in the glow of the morning light. I took a deep breath and sat up slowly hoping not to disturb him. My eyes were still heavy from all the crying I did. I was still wearing the dress that I wanted to rip off. Slowly walking to the bathroom I noticed more details about his room. There were fur rugs by the fireplaces. Daggers and short swords decoratively placed on the walls, and a picture, on the nightstand on his side of the bed. It was me, a picture Wanda took of me once when I was laughing so hard I fell on the floor.

I look over at Loki wondering why he would have a picture of me. The only time I felt anything from him was for training or when I made him feel it with my powers. He never had feelings for me. So why?

I go freshen up in his bathroom. 

He left a note on the cabinet mirror:

Princess,

There is an extra toothbrush for you if you don't want to head to your room just yet.

Best, 

Loki

He was thoughtful I'll give him that.

When I got out the bathroom he was shirtless, changing. I hadn't noticed how well build he was. It was breathtaking. He wasn't overly muscular like Steve and Bucky, but it was nice, sexy even.

I turn around to give him privacy. "I'm sorry I thought you were still asleep"

"It's alright, I'm just shirtless. Look" he says with a chuckle. I slowly turn around a blush coming onto my face. I see green magic and then he was dressed in his Asguardian attire. "See, all done, no worries"

I squint at him.."If you could do that this whole time, why take your shirt off?" I had a feeling he wanted me to see it. I glance over at the picture which was now turned face down. He was embarrassed by it.

"Sometimes it is nice to take off my clothes." He says with a mischievous smile. I laugh at him and he joins.

"So, when are we leaving?" I ask getting serious now.

"You are sure this is what you want?" He comes close to me with a worried look on his face.

"All I do is hurt people and get hurt when I'm here. It's time for a change." I sigh, unsure of the words I am saying. I will miss everyone, but I have to do this for myself. I talk myself into putting those feelings down.

"Alright, let me walk you to your room, get whatever you would like to bring with you." I nod and we leave. I stop for a moment outside of his room. I stare at Steve's door. At this time he would be in the gym training. Maybe his schedule is different now that he's with Sharon. My heart breaks and a tear drops. "Let's go love." Loki brings my attention back and we head to my room.

I collect little things that I know I will miss. The book Loki gave me, the letters I would exchange with Bucky. A box of pop-tarts Wanda left for me in the room with her usual XOXO. I grab the box of pictures Steve collected of us. I open it and look through it. There was a time I thought I found the perfect life. I close the box and leave it on the bed. I change into tight jeans and a loose white t-shirt.

We walk out and head to the landing pad.

"Where are you going?" Wanda screams at us, Nat right behind her. Nat pulls out her phone and starts texting quickly.
