Astraeas POV

'Astraea you need to leave' Loki whispered

'I enjoy your company' I said sitting on his bed beside him

'It's late, you need rest for your training'

'5 more minutes' I smiled

'5 more minutes then' he smiled shaking his head

'Tell me about Asgard' I said crossing my legs on the bed looking at him

He did the same position just opposite me

'Well it's the land of the gods'

'I knew that already' I laughed

'Well when I was younger I turned into a snake, because my brother Thor loves snakes. He picked me up, as the snake, to admire it and I dropped the illusion and shouted 'aha it's me!' And stabbed him' he said laughing

'You did not' I said putting my hand over my mouth to try and stop my laugh escaping my mouth, making it muffled

'I did indeed' he said still chuckling

'One time when I was around 12 or 13 we were practicing throwing knifes and I accidentally threw it near Gamora and cut some of her hair off' I said trying to hold my laugh in so much

'She must have been furious' he said trying to hide his smile

'She wanted to kill me' I said then grabbing the pillow and laughing into it, hearing Loki laugh as well

'Awhhh back when times were fun' I sighed laying down smiling

'What are you saying I'm no fun?' I said laying down beside me

'Your the funnest thing to happen to me actually, I could never laugh like this with my sisters'

'And yet you want to stay here forever?'

'Where else could I go, this ship is all I know' I said turning to look at him, noticing he was already looking at me

'You could always go to Asgard' he whispered

'The land of the gods? I don't think I'd fit in' I whispered back

'You would, more than most' he whispered tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear

'Maybe some day Loki'

'Definitely some day Astraea' he said making eye contact with me

'Come on. It's been over 5 minutes' he said sitting up

Getting up I noticed him looking at me

'What?'

'Nothing' he smiled

'There's something, your smiling at me weird'

'Just the unspoken thing'

'What unspoken thing?'

'You know what I mean' he said still smiling

'There is no unspoken thing' I smiled

'Yeah because if you admitted to there being an unspoken thing it would be speaking about it and then it would be the spoken thing, making it a lie' he said

'Your making no sense' I said walking out, looking at him before locking the door

'See you soon' I smiled

'Good night Astraea'

'Good night loki' I said leaving the keys back and sneaking out and back into my room, going straight to sleep.

...

'Astraea wake up' Gamora said poking me

'What' I whispered pulling the blankets up over my head

'Father has a mission for us, get ready we leave in a hour'

After around 25 minutes I was ready to go with time to spare.

I decided to sneak down into the dungeons again

'Loki' I whispered running towards his cell

'What are you doing down here at this time?' He said looking at me wide eyed

'I needed to tell you I'm being sent for a mission with my sisters and I don't know when I'll be back, so I mightnt see you for a while'

He smiled 'the unspoken thing'

'No unspoken thing' I sang sarcastically

'I'll see you when your back then'

'Yeah. I really need to go though' I said

'Goodbye' he smiled and I waved then running off towards fathers throne room where Gamora and nebula already were

'What took you so long' nebula said

'I couldn't decide what weapon to bring'

She nodded her head

'No longer than 4 days girls' father said looking down at us

'What's it for?' I asked

'There's rumours of two infinity twos on different planets. We're going to see if it's true or not' Gamora said

I nodded my head 'let's go then'

~3 days later~

The rumours were fake.

'Do you think he'll be mad?' I said

'I don't know. It's not really our fault they weren't there' Gamora said

'Most likely he'll be mad, be realistic Gamora' nebula said

I pushed the feasting door open as we were told that's were father was

But before I could take a step forward I seen Loki by my fathers side eating. With unnaturally blue eyes.
