Mystical Magic (Loki x Reader)

Chapter 9 - Party preparation

After training with Nat you went to have a quick shower before going down to the kitchen to have lunch before you went to take a nap. Everyone you passed insisted you take a nap before the party and you were sick of saying you will after the third time.

By the time you managed to sit down on a settee with a sandwich you wanted to take that nap even more.

You saw Loki across from you and when he smirked at you, you knew he had heard everyone telling you to take a nap but before he could even open his mouth you pointed at him and glared. "Don't you dare" you warned him, only half serious.

He put his hands up defence and his smirk just got bigger. "You should though" Loki said sincerely and you didn't want to snap at him because it was the nicest he had talked to you since he had been there.

"I know, i will, don't worry" You smiled to him instead as you continued to munch on your chicken salad and mayo sandwich. "You don't sleep all that much though. Why's that?"

"I don't need to sleep when i'm not using my magic," he simply said without taking his eyes off his book, as usual

"How come I have to sleep even if i sit around all day doing nothing if im Asgardian too?" You asked, wanting to know more about yourself as you realised there's a lot you don't know about.

"Because unlike you, i am a God" he smirked and that seemed to be all the answer that was needed so you dropped the subject and finished your sandwich

"Well, I'll see you later then. I'll go take my nap now" You announced as you took your plate to the kitchen

"Pleasant dreams," you heard Loki say quietly as you made your way to the elevator and it put a smile on your face like you were a little kid

***

"Y/N! Wake up, Y/N! It's time to get ready!" You heard Nats voice trying to wake you up from your blissful sleep

"Hm? Nat? But it's so comfyyy" you groaned and turned over pulling a pillow over your head

The next thing you knew your duvet was flung off you and you let out a yelp and sat bolt upright in surprise. Pepper and Nat were both by your bed looking excited and already half ready for the party.

"Jesus, guys! Talk about a wake up call!" You moaned as you rubbed the sleep out of your eyes

"Come onnn Y/N. We only have an hour before the guests start arriving!" Pepper said excitedly, clapping like a high school girl which made you chuckle

"It doesn't take me an hour to get ready you know" You informed them as you got yourself off your now duvet-less bed and made your way over to your wardrobe that was filled with all of the clothes you had bought a few weeks ago.

"It does if you want it done properly" Nat returned with a smug look. "Which dress are you going to wear?" She added as she came to stand next to you

You looked at all of the gorgeous dresses that were hung up and picked out a dark blue dress that flared at the waist and stopped above your knees and had short off the shoulder sleeves . It was simple yet dressy enough for a Tony Stark party. At least you hoped it was.

"Oh good choice!" Pepper commended on your pick and took it from you as Nat sat you down on your desk chair and seemed to pull out multiple makeup bags from nowhere

"Do I really need all of that?" You asked, a bit shocked at the sheer amount of make up there was

"Of course you don't, I just like to be prepared!" Nat beamed and began doing your makeup as Pepper got to work on your hair. It was nice to be pampered like this for a change. You had never really been big on going out to parties and whenever you had done you left things simple.

When the two were finished with you they wouldn't let you look in the mirror, much to your annoyance

"Put the dress on and then you can look!" Pepper squeaked in excitement as they finished up their own hair and makeup.

You didn't bother going to the bathroom because you were all girls there and you had on your underwear already so you stripped off your pyjamas, throwing them on your bed and shimmied into the dress. Nat handed you a pair of black strappy heels which you raised your eyebrow at but took them and put them on anyway

"If i fall and break my neck, it'll be your fault" you deadpanned

"We have plenty of time to get you used to them, don't worry" Nat assured you as you fastened the clasp

"Are you ready to see?" Pepper asked apprehensively, excitement beaming from her and it was contagious. You couldn't wait to see yourself in the mirror so you nodded your head and stepped over to the open wardrobe which had a full length mirror on the inside of the door.

You nearly cried at your reflection when you saw it. You'd never looked this good in your whole life. The makeup was gorgeous and Pepper has curled the ends of your y/c/h and pinned a few strands either side back at the back of your head with clips.

"Don't you cry and ruin my masterpiece!" Nat joked

"Guys! You did an amazing job! I look really good!" You gasped. You weren't one for complimenting yourself but hot damn, you looked fine tonight!

"Let's head to the lounge and see where the boys are at" Pepper said and you all followed her out and down the corridor. By the time you reached the elevator you were semi-confident in walking in the ridiculously high high-heels Nat had chosen for you.

The three of you stepped out into the lounge and everyone was already there waiting for you all.

"Trust the girls to be-" Tony started to say until he saw us all and stopped in his tracks. "You all look beautiful" he smiled softly. 

A small blush rose to your cheeks as he came over and took Peppers hand and whispered something in her ear that made her giggle.

Thor strode over to us and took Nats hand and kissed her knuckles and said "You look lovely, Lady Natasha" to which she playfully smacked him on the shoulder then he came over to me and did the same. "Lady Y/N, you look beautiful too"

"Oh shush you" you blushed, looking away from him slightly, trying to will the heat away from your cheeks.

"Well, I think we will be fighting the men off you all tonight" Steve smiled to which you smiled back

"Let's get this party started then shall we?" Tony announced and you all made your way over to the elevator to head to the party floor. Yes, there is a whole floor for partying. But you didn't see Loki anywhere which left you a little sad
