Loki's pov
I sat reading on my black leather couch in my room, I was nearly finished the book I started this morning, and it was only 11:36pm, when I started to hear small wimpers and screams.
That's strange I thought, Pietro was on a mission and my imbecile of a brother left to go see his lady, I should be alone on this floor , but it appears I am not.
As I got from my chair I vanished my book and summoned my daggers to hand.
Taking to the hallway I realized the door opposite mine was where these noises where drifting from.
As I opened the door I felt my eyes soften and I vanished my daggers back to where they belong.
Wrapped in the covers, the young maiden from earlier tosses and turns , whilst wimpering , slightly screaming and breathing heavy.
I myself are burdened with nightmares some nights and want to help this fair maiden with the plague.
Going to her side I shook her shoulder , she did not awake so I shook again, the next time I tryed I added "wake up, it's ok, just wake up" and she did.
She shot up sitting on the bed , sweat dripping down her forehead, as she tried to catch her breath. Panic flooded her eyes she looked around as if wondering where she was, calming when she saw she was not alone.
"Are you alright?" I asked worriedly to which she nodded.
"I I'm s s sor orry for waking you" she stuttered
"You didn't, and I'm glad you woke anyway, so I'd rather have woken if I was anyway" I said adding "by the way I'm Loki , I live opposite this room"
"I'm s Stephanie" she said seeming to calm down a bit now.
"I'm here if you want to talk about it, I get nightmares as well" I said feeling slightly vulnerable, that's the first time I've mentioned that to anyone.
"Thank you, I don't want a reminder of it though if that's ok" she said, which made my face shift to a softer expression, this doesn't normally happen to me, what's going on.
"Well that's fine, I can keep your mind off it if you want" I asked nervously but she nodded and moved over on her bed, I assume so I could sit which I did ,but instead I sat opposite on the end.
"Do you read?" I asked
"I try but I do find it hard, I have dyslexia which makes the words move and get jumbled but I try sometimes" she said as I nodded, summoning a book.
It was one of my books I had since I was a child , my favourite story's graced this book.
It was in the language of Asgard so I translated as I read.

An hour and 11 minutes later...

I had been reading a while now, and was quarter way through the book.
Uncomfortable in my current position I stood, her face looked sad when I stood and I panicked
"Its alright darling, I'm just getting more comfortable" I said softly, to which she Nodded and blushed , looking down at the bed
"Is it alright to sit here?" I questioned looking at the space next to her with cushions, to which she nodded again and moved over slightly for me.
I sat down again letting my long legs stretch along the length of the bed, and continued reading.
