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

Chapter 25 - Away to the Ball

Thor's loud stomps could be heard from a mile away it seemed. Accompanying him were always his friends. Fandral, Hogun, Volstagg and Sif.

You'd met them the other day, they were all extremely inviting and friendly, however you hadn't seen much of them. You assumed they were just hanging out with Thor at all times.

You didn't mind them though, as you had Loki by your side. He was great company and always easy to talk to.

"Are you up for the ball tonight, darling?" Loki peered up from his book.

You finished rearranging a flower basket that the maids had brought up. "I believe so. I'm feeling much alive again." You grinned happily.

Loki let out a relieved sigh. "I'll inform the maids, and they will fetch you for preparations tonight." He explained.

"Sounds good, thank you Lohk."

This was all new to you. The service, the maids, having a royal guest status in a place you'd never even been before... yet it was all so incredible. And you were enjoying every second of it.

"If you would like to wear a certain dress or item just tell the dressers and they'll make sure to include it."

"Yeah. Although, I would like to see what the dressers put me in." You stroked your chin softly.

Loki squinted his eyes at you, trying to guess what was going through your mind.

"It's just.." You set down a flower that had been in your hand, "Everything here is so beautiful." You raised your eyebrows, "The nature, the culture, the food and clothing.. everything is so special."

"Yes, that's one of the many reasons why I love Asgard." Loki said proudly, putting his book in his lap.

Loki hardly ever traded a book for a conversation.

"Someday, when I'm the rightful king, this place will thrive in peace." He smirked.

"With you by my side, ruling as the queen." Loki added last.

Your eyes went wide at the mention of you being his queen, and you weren't opposed either.

"We'll see." You winked, and picked up your flower again.

"Yes, we shall." Loki smirked mischeviously, bringing his book back to his face.

"Yes.. we shall."

"The maids will be here any minute, darling!" Loki called into the bathroom.

"I know! You've said that 3 times in the last minute." You struggled to put your bra on.

"Do you need help?"

"Yes please!" You answered, your voice bouncing off the walls.

Loki rushed into the bathroom to help. He tried not to linger his eyes on you, as you were only in under garments.

You pretended not to see him staring, "Please attach the clamps in the back." You ordered.

He did so with ease and you were comfortable at last.

"Thank you." You stood up from the stool you'd been seated on.

"You're welcome darling." He smirked.

You turned around to "catch" him staring. Taking your finger, you poked him right in the chest and pushed him out of the bathroom once again.

"Let me finish getting my clothes on." You told Loki, shutting the door behind him.
