The Black Cat in the Window (Loki x Reader) (Completed)

Chapter 23 - The Cure of Nergal

"She's in worse condition than what I've seen." She looked you over.

Loki watched your unconscious body, afraid. "Can you still save her?" He watched his mother carefully.

She gave him a reassuring smile. "I can guarantee that she will be fine." That soothed Loki and pit him at ease for a bit.

"What could've caused this?"

"Many things dear, it's hard to pinpoint a direct cause for Nergal." She sighed disappointed.

Loki watched you as you slept deeply. He wished he could be there with you, guiding you through your dreams and discovering a new universe inside those precious blue eyes of yours.

"I know you worry about her Loki." The woman put a delicate hand on his shoulder. A single tear drop ran down Loki's cheek.

"I love her mother." He confessed.

The woman looked at him with kind, wise eyes. "I know. But when will you tell her? When is soon?" She read his mind.

"I want to tell her, but I don't know how. What if she doesn't love me the same way?"

"She likes you doesn't she? There's always more time to spend with her."

Loki stood silently thinking.

"Does she know she's Asgardian?"

"I've mentioned it to her before, although I don't think she knows she is, despite being ill."

"You need to tell her directly, Loki." The woman suggested.

"I know." He sighed, "But how is she Asgardian? Which of her parents came from Asgard?" He questioned.

"We will know in time once she heals from her wounds. For now it's best if we give her peace and let her sleep." She ushered Loki to the door.

Loki took a last look at you to make sure you were alright and went with the woman.

"Mmm" You grumbled, sitting up. The splitting headache finally ceased and you felt like you were alive again. Standing up, you finally realized your surroundings.

The walls were plastered with white gold slabs and the floor was decorated with marble granite. You had been laying on a gigantic bed with beautiful white silk sheets. The bed posts rose a good 5 feet and had velevety curtains dropping down over.

On the other side of the room was a seating set up. Armchairs laid untouched next to a golden beer table. And a large wooden bookshelf stood steady.

Next to the seating arrangement was the largest door you have ever seen. It nearly reached the high ceiling. It was a dark oak with large silver handles. An engraving in the wood depicted the yggdrasil tree reaching from each of the 9 realms. You remembered this from your Norse Mythology book.

Moving on, there was another separate room. You waddled over, your feet cold on the hard marble. Inside the room was a bathroom. The most luxurious bathroom ever, even those expensive bathrooms in Los Angeles mansions couldn't compare. There was marble everything.

A large vanity with marble counter tops seemed to float above the ground. Another vanity was across the bathroom. Next to each vanity was a huge sink with shiny golden appliances. Two huge marble bathtubs sat in the middle of the room on either side.

You blushed thinking about what Loki had said before, how there was no showering on Asgard.

At the end of the far wall was a picture window, accompanied by white drapes reaching the floor.
