The Love Of Mischief

Chapter 36

It was now the morning after and the first thing I registered, Was the soft feeling of comforting sheets. Bright sunlight was next and I let out a groan. I swear I will never sleep past dawn. It was only when a light snore came from who I was holding did I begin to gain some awareness. My hazy vision picked up that I was close to him. I quickly put my glasses on. I sighed with contentment at the sleeping God. I ran my hands over his face. He looked so peaceful.
"You know, there are worst ways to wake me up at the crack of dawn" Loki whispered as I pulled my hand away.
"I didn't mean to, I thought you were sleeping" I bit my lip.
"It's fine" Loki smiled. He opened one eye "Anyway, Why are you on the other side of the bed. Get back here" Loki wiggled his index finger at me. I wiggled over to Loki and sighed. The God smirked, wrapped his arms around me, and moved my hair away from my neck. He kissed me gently on the temple.
"Morning darling" Loki murmured into my ear. I craned my neck and kissed Loki on the lips. Both of us lingered for a moment.
"Morning. Did you sleep well?" I quizzed as I placed a hand on my God's chest.
"I did" Loki held my left hand in his hand "Even better knowing that last night wasn't a dream" His thumb ran along with the gemstones of the ring.
"Still feels like a dream" I sighed as I rolled over so my face was now in Loki's chest. this was my happy place.
"So... do you like it?" he murmured "The ring, I mean not your happy place"
"Yes, I do. Yes... it's... it's absolutely beautiful. Where did you get such a beautiful gem?"
"Remember a while ago, Back in the early days of our relationship. I went to Jotunheim?" Loki asked. I nodded "I went there because my biological mother wanted to see me. Happens every year. Something about how I should come home... Blah blah blah. All that rubbish" I looked over my glasses at him "Anyway. After storming out of the palace, I saw this green thing embedded into the ice. Naturally, curiosity got the better of me. It was the brightest emerald I have ever seen. Almost rivaled your eyes"
"Loki," I went to speak but Loki put a finger over my mouth.
"Having inspected it fairly closely, I knew it would make a fine gem to give to you but I had to make it more special"
"How so?" I muttered.
"I didn't come up with the final design until Stark was at Asgard. He helped me" I tilted my head "After I showed him the emerald. He said I should represent myself so when I asked how. He said that I should add ice"
"Ice?" I frowned. Pushing my glasses up my nose "In Asgardian terms please" Loki licked his lips as he laughed.
"Adding ice to a ring in Midgardian terms, Means adding diamonds"
"So the diamonds represent you and the emerald is me" I smiled. Loki nodded.
"It means that I will always be around you as well"
"Loki, I love this ring almost as much as I love you"
"I love you way more than you ever thought possible. Plus, You can't get rid of me now that we are getting married" Loki smiled. I pushed Loki onto his back.
"Who said I wanted to get rid of you?" My hair draped over my shoulders. I still had some concerns about this marriage but it was a conversation that I needed to have back in Asgard. Loki pulled me down so my head was now on his chest "So what shall we do before we leave today?" I laid there. Listening to his heartbeat.
"Tony said last night that we need to go back and see him tomorrow. Which is today" Loki sighed.
"Do we have to? I kind of feel stupid about last night" I groaned as I hid my face.
"Tony won't care. He's friends with Banner" Loki said as he ran a hand up and down my arm. I let out a small sigh "They are used to random outbursts of anger"
"I guess" I smiled. Loki soon felt a hand caress his cheek. My delicate finger traced the edge of his jawline and down his neck. My fingers outlined his collarbone. I felt Loki shudder.
"Amelia, You drive me wild" He groaned "And yet, only you could tame me"
"Though I don't need a leash for you" I chuckled.
"Think you prefer it when I am unleashed" Loki kissed me. He lowered his head down to where my collarbone was and blew a raspberry on my skin. I giggled and squirmed under Loki. Loki rolled onto his side and rested his elbows on the pillow, his head in his hands.
"What are you thinking about?"
"How I would follow you to the ends of the world" Loki's tone was reverent now, and he gazed down at my face "because you are stuck with me till the end of time because nowhere is home without you" His view drifted now, looking out the window at the view of the concrete skyscrapers and the rising sun "And somehow I'm gonna find a way to make you happy"
"You do already"
"I love you so much" His voice was small and shy, He blushed a bit and lowered his gaze.
"I love you too" I placed my hand on Loki's cheek. Making him look at me "So when do we tell people about this?" I held up my left hand, The ring dazzling in the light.
"Let them guess" Loki shrugged "I'd rather keep it to ourselves for a while. Thor's gonna overreact, Steve, Bucky, and Barton will try and kill me. Tony will throw another party. I don't know about Natasha"
"Wanda, Vision, and Pietro will be over the moon"
"How do you know that?" Loki raised an eyebrow as he looked at me.
"Well, When I sent you away, We were talking and she asked me if I saw marriage on the horizon for us and I said yes" I bit the corner of my lip "I didn't tell her that you already asked a few times beforehand or that we had spoken about it"
"Was that when she squealed?" Loki wondered. I nodded "Thought so"
"She also that she gets first dibs on hugs of any child we have" I laughed a little.
"Actually I get first dibs. Wanda can get in line"
"Actually I get first cuddles. Baby comes out of me and straight on my chest" I smiled. Loki laughed at me "What?"
"I love the fact that we are debating on who gets first hugs on a baby that we haven't conceived yet"
