Frigid Love

Chapter 26

I made my way to the kitchen, a strong, delicious smelling aroma filled the air.

Loki was standing with his back to me as he placed something on plates that were sitting on the counter. His hair was tied back into a bun at the nape of his neck and he had the sleeves of his dark black dress shirt folded up.

I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his torso from behind, resting my head on his shoulder.

He leaned back into me and turned his head to me, placing a soft kiss on my temple.

"It smells amazing." I spoke.

Loki's face lit up before covering both of the plates and teleporting them onto the table. He turned around in my arms and faced me, looking me up and down.

"Darling, you look ravishing." He complimented.

I blushed a little as he took my hand and kissed my knuckles before leading me to the table.

He pulled out my chair and gestured for me to sit down. I sat down and he helped me push my chair in before he sat down across from me.

He had set up a small square table in the dining room which had a white tablecloth draped over it, a lit candle, and a few red rose petals spread across it.

Loki used his magic to vanish the sliver domes which were sheltering our plates of food. Green magic flowed around himself as well, fixing his hair and shirt before we started eating.

"Wine?" Loki asked.

"Yes, please." I responded and moved my glass closer to him.

He poured some red wine into my glass and filled his shortly after.

We talked, laughed and ate for about an hour before we both got up and placed our dishes in the dishwasher.

I turned around to face Loki after closing the dishwasher.

"Dinner was amazing. Thank you." I smiled warmly.

"Do you really think that that's all I have planned for tonight?" Loki smirked.

I gave him an inquiring look before he snaked his hand in mine and spun me into his arms, placing soft kisses on my lips.

He pulled away and took my hands again, this time pulling me through various hallways.

I let go of his hand and ducked into his room, grabbing his gold helmet with the big horns and placing it on my head before Loki came in.

I gave him a childish smile.

"Y/n, what did I tell you about touching my helmet?" Loki asked.

"I don't recall you ever saying to not touch it." I lied.

Loki walked closer to me with a sly grin. He jumped towards me and reached out to grab the helmet from my head. I veered away from his arm and ran out of his room laughing like crazy. Loki chased after me, following me out of the cabin and into the refreshingly cold air and snow.

He eventually caught up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me to him as we both lost our balance and fell in the snow. We laughed aloud together for a quick minute.

Loki's magic swirled around my head and vanished his helmet.

"Damn it!" I laughed.

My back was against Loki's side. I turned over and placed a kiss on his lips before he sat up, taking me with him.

He sat in the snow with me in his lap, my legs on either side of his body as we continued to kiss, our lips moving in perfect sync. I ran my hands through his hair, twisting it in my fingers as he kept one hand cupping my face and the other resting on my hip.

"You guys couldn't have done that somewhere else?" A voice spoke.

I broke the kiss with Loki and looked up to find Clint. He had a target pinned to one of the trees and had his bow and quiver of arrows. I gave him a slightly awkward smile. And got off Loki's lap. He huffed and stood up next to me.

"Sorry." I blurted, my face turning a little red.

"It's fine, really. I was just messing around with you guys." Clint laughed.

I nodded sheepishly and looked over to Loki, who had a proud smile on his face and was stifling a laugh. He took my hand and led me back into the cabin.

"Why's it always so hot in here?!" I whined and flopped down on the couch.

Loki laughed and sat down next to me. "Mortals freeze easy." He spoke.

"Don't remind me."

"Come on." Loki got up and pulled me off the couch.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"The last part of our date."

I smiled and followed him through the various hallways until we reached his bedroom door.

Loki opened the door and gestured for me to go in first. I walked in and found his balcony dimly lit with hanging lanterns with candles in them. There was a blanket sprawled out on the floor along with pillows, bowls of snacks and drinks, and a laptop sitting on top of the blanket.

I opened the sliding glass door and walked out onto the balcony.

"Do you like it?" Loki asked with a genuinely concerned look.

"I love it Loki!" I exclaimed. "Do you mind if I go change really quick though?"

"Already have that covered." Loki smirked.

A flow of green magic appeared and swirled around me, changing my clothes from my dress to a tank top and sweatpants.

I thanked him and sat down on the blanket, grabbing a tub of popcorn.

Loki sat down next to me, turning on a movie on the computer. He started to lift his arm but quickly placed it back down. I smiled and lifted his arm up, placing it around my shoulders and resting my head on his chest. I nestled my head into his shirt and wrapped my arms around his torso as he pulled me closer to him.

I shoveled popcorn into my mouth as I sat cuddled up to Loki and he placed a soft kiss on my head.

...

We finished the movie and we got up. Loki used his magic to clean off the balcony and place everything back where it goes.

He walked me to my bedroom door and took my hand, kissing my knuckles before speaking.

"I had a lovely time tonight, Darling." He smiled.

"As did I." I returned the smile as we both leaned forward and pulled each other in for a quick kiss.

I pulled away and opened my door, telling Loki goodnight and slipping inside.
