"River will you follow me to see your new room?" Nat gestures as she walks towards the elevator, River and Loki exchange a glance before they both decide to have another race to the elevator. They both crash into the wall as Nat gracefully avoids them, "You two are sharing a floor with Thor so behave yourselves." The two of them exchange the same evil look.

"Okay I win. I don't even need to see your room to know mine is a thousand times better. Like wow...The bed is a circle!" River exclaims as she runs around the room exploring with Loki walking not far behind her. "How about we call it a tie?" He holds out his hand and River looks at him, "I'll shake that hand once I've seen your room." Nat sighs, "I'll let you two settle down for the night. Goodbye." She leaves and not long later the both of them leave to Loki's room.

"This is my room." River looks up at Loki excitedly. Loki coughs in an attempt to hide his smile and regains his composure then says, "It's mush better than I thought it would be in all honesty. The library is perfection. The books are  Asgardian and other mythology, plus there's a few other fantasy novels. I'm trying to learn as much as possible about Midgardian literature." River runs around his room a bit more before holding out her hand with a grin, "I'll accept that tie."

After that two of them make themselves at home in their rooms but after being together for the past two weeks it feels just plain wrong for them to be apart. River sucks it up and tries to fall asleep.

She lays on her side hugging one of the pillows slowly falling asleep but trying to keep herself awake, the bed dips beside her suddenly. "Hnn?" She rolls over and is met with Loki's usual smirk "Hey little wendigo..." She lets go of the pillow and latches herself onto Loki's side "hey" She mumbles dozing off again. Loki softly chuckles and lays down beside her, he was slightly surprised he didn't need to convince her to let him stay or that she hadn't thrown him out. It had been a long day and the pair cuddled throughout the night.

Morning comes and Thor comes bounding into River's room and rips off her covers, seemingly forgetting that you should never enter a sleeping woman's room unless you want to die (of course Loki is an exception), "Lady River have you seen my brother?! He's missing!"  Somehow River doesn't wake up but Loki does "Brother...get out.." He waves his hand gesturing for him to leave and covers both of them with the covers in an attempt to regain all the lost heat, he goes back to cuddling River and trying to sleep. Key word: trying.

"Brother did you sneak into Lady River's bed?" Loki turns over and rubs his eyes before opening them "No?" He could feel that Thor was about to say something or tease him when he felt River roll over to face them and she was clearly not a morning person if that scowl is anything to go by. She pulls Loki back down beside her "Sleepy night night time..." Loki gently shakes her awake "Darling it's morning...We have to get up." She continues to grumble so Loki leaves it to Thor to wake her up "Come on Lady River we have much to do!" His voice is as loud as usual which definitely wakes her up.

She shifts her hair from one side to the other and looks at the two gods "Yeah, Loki is definitely my favourite god out of the both of you." The two of them high five. "Now boys, I think it's time you leave. I don't want to hear any complaining, I need to change and shower and I am not having either one of you in here whilst I dress." Without any argument they both leave "Don't worry Loki, I'll knock on your door once I'm done then we can go find something good to eat!" River grins before disappearing into the bathroom.
