Chapter 25

I DON'T OWN GIF

Ivy stare in shock at Loki. He has blank expression, but she sense fear of rejection radiating from him. She blink couple times and look him up and down. He has blue skin, red eyes and strange marks over his skin. She take little step toward him to better view. She slowly reach her hand toward his cheek. "Don't." He command while dodging her hand. She roll her eyes and brush her fingers over marks over his cheek. "Ivy!" He say in fear and turn back to his Asgardian form. He grab her hand and examine the fingers. "What?" She ask confuse. He turn to look at her in shock. "You didn't get frostbites..." "Of course not, I used fire magic to prevent that." She answer smugly. He stare at her for a moment, then little sneer come in his face. 

"Did you knew?" Loki ask angrily. Ivy frown and tilt her head in confuse. He drop her hand. "Did you knew?" He ask again. "Did I knew what?" She ask confuse. "Don't lie to me." He growl and push past her. "Did I knew what? Talk to me Loki. What do you mean?" She ask confuse. "That I am not Asgardian? That I am Jotun?" He snap and glare at her. "Of course I didn't know. How could I?" She answer and put her hands on her waist. "How you then knew to protect yourself?" She roll her eyes. "I can sense magic, of course I sensed that your skin can give me frostbites." She explain. He scoff. "Did Thor told you?" She sigh and grab the dagger from bed. He frown and look at her warily. 

Ivy put blade against her left palm and turn to look at Loki. She wrap fingers around dagger and squeeze while pulling dagger out. "I don't lie to you Loki from Asgard. I didn't know that you're not Asgardian. No one has told me." She swear while blood spill on floor. He stare at her in shock. She open her palm and show deep cuts in her hand. "That I swear to you by my blood." She say lastly and let blood slide down her arm and drop on floor. "Why you did that?!" He finally ask and grab towel from couch, where he has left it. He wrap it around her hand. "Did I finally convince you that I am telling the truth?" She ask. He glance at her determined eyes. "I believe you." He whisper and start to pull her toward bathroom. 

Ivy let Loki wash her hand and neck and examine the cuts. "You are crazy." He murmur and glare at her. She smile and shrug. "It will heal in 28 hours." She answer indifferent. He sigh and for her surprise pull out some bandages from cabinet. "You have something like that?" She blurt out. "I stole it from Banner soon after Thor brought me here. Like I trust any of them to take care of my injuries." He scoff. She chuckle. He try to bandage her hand but fail miserably. "Let me." She laugh and snatch them from him. She quickly bandage cuts and smirk to him. "I am a prince, I never had to do this things." He defend and put rest of bandages back in cabinet. "If you ever get injured, you better come to me than try to take care of them yourself." She chuckle and nudge his arm gently. He snort but nod. She grin.

They walk back in bedroom when Ivy twirl to look at Loki. "You should know that you are not a monster and you are not only one with different forms." She say and take couple steps backwards. She pull out her wings and let rest of her fairy form come in view. She feel how her teeth change, tips of her ears get longer and sharper, her eyes tingle for a moment. After she feel transformation is ready she turn to look at him. She smile shyly. "This is my look in full fairy form." She tell quietly and stretch her wings as wide as they go before adjusting them on her back. 

Loki take couple steps so he stand front of Ivy. She stare at him little nervous while he examine her new look. Tips of her ears can be seen inside hair and he reach toward left one before stopping. "May I?" He ask. She nod and he push her hair behind ear to see it better. She shiver when his finger brush over tip of her ear. "Sorry." He mumble while he quickly pull back his hand. "It's fine." She assure. He turn to look at her eyes lastly. "They are pure gold." He murmur. "Yeah, color of destruction." She murmur and turn back her human form. He frown to her comment. "What do you mean?" She realize her slip and sigh tiredly. "Gold eyes are sign for fairy of destruction. It is old legend, once in 10000 years is fairy with golden eyes born. That fairy will bring pain and destruction around them." She explain with indifferent voice and rush to slip under blanket.

Ivy lay on her side, facing the wall when Loki slip in bed too. They stay in silence and she close her eyes. "I think they are beautiful." He whisper after awhile. She stiffen before slowly turning to look at him. He lay on his back and face the ceiling. "What?" She ask confuse. "Your golden eyes, I think they are beautiful." He say and give her little, quick smile. Little smile form in her lips and she turn to lay on other side so she face him. "You're not a monster Loki, no matter what your heritage is." She tell him softly. He didn't answer, but even in this darkness she can see how he grit his teeth. "You're not." She say louder and grab his arm. 

Loki turn to look at Ivy. "You're not a monster Loki. You are you, prince and God of Asgard and friend of mine." She say sternly and squeeze his arm before letting go. "You really are different." He murmur quietly. "I am awesome." She say proudly and grin. He snort and roll his eyes. She laugh quietly. She see how little smile form on his lips too and smile proudly. "We should get some sleep." She say and yawn. He stiffen and turn to face ceiling again. She frown and then realize what he scare, even if he would deny it. 

Ivy move to cuddle Loki. She lay her head on his chest and hug him gently. He stiffen even more under her. "What are you doing?" He ask warily and little scared. "I will chase your nightmares away, I want to sleep and you need some sleep too." She answer tiredly and snuggle to better position. "Bu-" "You won't hurt me, it is alright Loki. You can relax." She cut him off and relax fully against him. "Your frosty scent must come from your Jotun heritage, I like it." She murmur. "Frosty?" "Frost, old books and tea. Perfect combination." She answer tiredly and close her eyes. Before she fall asleep she feel how he finally relax and wrap his arm around her.
