The Tea 🐍

Warnings: vomiting!!! fainting, blood, needles

I went into the coffee shop, a soft ding announcing my arrival, followed by a chorus of 'good evenings'. After ordering my tea, I sat down awaiting my order, pulling my phone out and texting Loki,

"Do you need anything for dinner?"

"If you could grab some tomatoes from the market, that'd be amazing, love"

"No problem, I'll be home in half an hour, King"

The barista yelled, "Y/n, your tea is ready" as she searched the shop. I stood up, waving gently as I grabbed the cup from the counter.

I drank my tea as I drove to the market, grabbing my green tote bag from the back of my car to go into the open air market. The sun was warm but the wind kept me cool, the smell of the homemade honey wafting through the aisle between the stands.

I smiled as I found the beautiful red tomatoes at the end of the aisle. Feeling a few, I took one in my hand and asked, "How much?"

"3 a pound"

I took a few and handed them a five, getting two in return and putting them in my basket. I had almost left when I sauntered passed the flower stand and just couldn't resist getting a bundle for the apartment.

I finally got back to my car and quickly texted Loki,

"I'm omw home, love"

I drove home as the sun set, finishing my tea as I drove into the driveway, grabbing the tote out of the passenger seat and heading inside.

As I moved inside I set the tote on the counter, moving behind Loki in silence. It was his turn to cook tonight, so he's hovering over a pan with his classic black apron. He's singing softly and I simply do not want to interrupt him, so I pulled the flowers from the bag and set them on the table, searching the storage closet for a vase.

I finally found one and filled it with water, placing the flowers in and setting them on the table. The light blue bringing a bit of color to our kitchen.

"It's ready" he whispered against my neck, kissing my cheek before setting the plate on the table. After a nice dinner, discussing our days, we left a movie on while we both read our books, stopping every few minutes to discuss the idiocy of the characters.

Then we went to bed, wrapped in covers, seperate but together, the sound of his breathing lulling me into sleep.

I woke up in the middle of the night, covered in a sheen of sweat and incredibly warm. I snuggled over into Loki's bicep, my hands yanking the blanket off of me.

His breathing hitched for a second before he calmed, "You okay, my queen?"

"Hot" I sleepily slurred, his cold skin providing relief.

Normally we sleep in our own sides of the bed, I like my space when I sleep. So even I was confused when I got all snuggly against him. He grabbed my left arm and pulled me over him, laying my head against his chest, and my body over his abs.

"Here" he mumbled, his eyes still closed, his hands finding their way to my head and holding me close. His cool skin brought my temperature down for a moment, until another wave of heat hit me.

I focused less on just how hot I felt and more on how I could hear his heart beat, and feel his gentle hold, keeping me close. Soon enough, I fell back asleep with him.
