Loki studies the cracks and lines engraved in his suit's folds. He let a light smile rest on his face, as yours peeked from the corner, pressing and moving pins in his waist. He studied your focused face. Loki had come here as punishment from Frigga, to appreciate mortal culture. He stumbled into this boutique in his first 20 minutes in a huff.

He came every day now.
You slide another pin into your mouth. Loki watches the way it slides through your lips. His eyes linger there until you make a quick movement. You step back and look at him again. You had a tough time smiling after your first 100 years of existence. With a curse like yours, you'd be here forever. Forever watching. Never changing.

You let that same smile fall onto your lips. You grab a different fabric before going closer and adjusting his jacket. Very close. Loki grabbed your chin curiously. You look up to his eyes. He pulls you closer by the waist and meets your lips again. You two break for air a minute after. Your blush was apparent.

He smirked, "Flustered, are you?" you try to escape his grip in embarrassment, which doesn't work. "Ah, Ah, Ah I don't think I'm done with you yet." he pulls you into a kiss again, trailing his hands along your waist. You adjust his collar while kissing him. He smiles at your antics through the kiss. After you break, he pulls you closer and hugs you by your waist, digging his head into your chest.

Loki lets out a sigh. "I adore you," he says quietly. Normally he would never say such a thing, but you two had gotten close. With your nonjudgmental gaze and his very judged one. You wrap your arms around him as well. "You have a gold heart," you speak up.

Though this was a sedimental romantic gesture, it was also an inside joke for yourself. You hadn't told him about you, or your past. Or your curse that infected your heart.

"A trade then?" you laugh bitterly, "Any day, Someone's gotta get rid of that rotten thing one of these days." you traced his chest. "It doesn't seem at all rotten to me." he stands up, hands still on your waist. "Foul," he smirks. If only he knew you were being serious. Completely serious.

You took out the last pin in his arm. "You're done." you smile, he looks to the mirror around you two. His suit's design was a mix of modern and old Egyptian culture. He didn't know where you came from.

"Magnificent!" Loki's face brightens. You smile, before hearing a shout behind you. "it's Closing time! Just because you ring in the most doesn't mean you could break any of my GODDAMN RULES!" Your boss knocked another few sewing extras from the shelves in your area. She looked up to see Loki and you. "Oh, you're still with a customer. I apologize sir." your boss corrected herself, and began to walk off.

"Excuse Me!" Loki shouts, intimidatingly. Your boss turns her heel. "Yes sir?" "Loki." you put your hand on him. "I'll- see you tomorrow- or whenever you come back!" you correct yourself, with your head down. He seemed very confused, and still very upset. "Would you like to spend the night at mine?" he begins, "don't get your suit wrinkled about it." you interrupt, moving your hand to your neck awkwardly.

Loki furrows his brows.
"Could I stay with you tonight?" You look up with a blush. "Of course. I just have to finish this station.. Wait outside for me?" He picks up your pin plush. "I'll help you." you watch his glare at the woman waiting behind the shelf next to you. You nod, whispering a 'thank you'.

You lock the door behind you. You usually teleported back to your place. Your very unusual place. As your hands held the key to the boutique, you make a decision. Tears threaten to fall, as you don't look at the man behind you "Some things wrong." Loki's hand inches closer to you. "L-Loki- I'm 19,000 years old."

His hand stops.
"I was sacrificed at 19. And I'll be like this forever. My heart is cursed by an ancient Egyptian god." you let the cursed words fall from your lips. A cold tap ends it.

💫

Your eyes flutter open. You almost immediately jump up but were stopped by two hands. You flinch back. "It's alright dear." you recognize the woman as Frigga. Loki had told you about her before. You gulp, getting out of bed and rushing to the balcony.
Asgard.

She follows you. You look down to notice the green nightgown you were wearing. Your symbols and scars were visible. A blush fills your cheeks you let out a sigh, and look at the kingdom. "You're very tense.." Frigga places a hand on you. "Why am I here? I told him- what I was and he took me here!" you say frantically. Frigga frowns, seeing tears flow down your cheeks. "Why am I here?" Still.

You rush off to the door and look down the golden halls. Shouting could be heard. Loki's. You close the door. "Why am I here?" Frigga walks to you calmly, unmatching your anxious energy. "Calm-" You notice the familiar dark ominous cracks form on your chest. A curse flare up. Most likely triggered by your emotions.

You walk past her and look at the escape routes. "I won't keep you here but, Loki would be upset if you left." "He called every healer in from all the 9 realms. I had never seen him so scared." you turn back and hear a voice before opening the door. You walk down the halls until you see Loki.
Full helmet, full outfit.
You blush with a gulp.

"Y/n-!" You look at the girl in front of Loki. The Grand Healer. "Tell him, please. -!" You put a hand around your neck again to cover the cracks from your curse. Loki's eyes darted at you, he immediately ripped your hands from your neck, seeing the crack. You feel a tinge of pain from the quick movement on the surface. "Tell him what I told you last-" "ENOUGH!" Loki yelled at her.

"What's done is done, there's nothing anyone can do," you tell him. Loki's eye squint. "Leave us!" The healer nods and quickly scurries off. "You could've escaped. Why didn't you?" he tightens his grip on you like he was afraid you'd slip through his fingers.

"Why am I here?"
"Answer me!" Loki urged, strictly.
"Why would you care anymore?!"
Silence fills the mansion of a room.
"I told you what I was.. And what happened. I'm wasted. You are a king Loki. After 19,000 year's I work at a shitty boutique- that's all I have to show for it. Why am I here?"

"Do you still adore me..?"
Loki looked shell-shocked. "Yes- Yes! I do! I do so much! I-I- just thought- That you'd leave- and-" You covered his hand with yours. "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you. I know you've been lied to- so many times- and I did it anyway. You are allowed to be mad." He looks at you before grabbing your waist tightly.

"I am mad. I am so angered I will keep you prisoner here for all eternity we have together. You will never leave my side." you blush. "I can't object to a king can I?"
"keep that in mind, Love."
"Sure, Loki."
