Loki woke first and smiled. Dolly had curled into him with her arms tightly around his waist. Her features soft and relaxed he thought she looked angelical. Loki kissed her forehead, "You are my heart little Midgardian and nothing shall ever harm you with me near."
Dolly deep in sleep softly cooed making Loki smile and sinking back into slumber himself.
----------------------------------------
Bucky went to wake up Dolly, "Hey Doll you want pancakes?"
There wasn't an answer so he opened her door. She wasn't there; her bed unslept in.
Bucky felt worry creep up his spine, "Nat... Steve..."
Both peeked out from the living area, "What's up Buck?" Steve asked seeing him worried.
Bucky tried to remain calm, "Dolly's not in her room... I don't think she came home last night."
Nat smiled and gave Steve a nudge. Steve bit his lip, "She probably stayed over with Wanda and Pietro or something."
Nat chuckled, "Or something..."
Bucky looked over, "You don't think..."
Steve tried to reassure him, "We raised a very smart and capable girl. She's 21 now buddy..."
Bucky grounded his metal hand into a fist, "I'm going to kill him..."
----------------------------------------
Dolly stirred and felt strong arms around her. She snuggled into them. Last night was better than her imagination could have created. Her heart felt full.
Loki turned and softly kissed her lips, "Good morning my love."
Dolly smiled, "Good morning." She kissed him again and trailed her fingers up his sides.
Loki snickered, "Keep that up and we may never leave this bed today."
Dolly grinned, "I wouldn't mind."
Just as Loki was about to claim Dolly's lips in a hungry kiss a knock sounded on his door, "Brother... Is the Lady Dolly with you? She never made it home and her father is quite worried."
Loki rested his forehead against hers, "It appears that we will have to leave the bed after all."
Dolly giggled.
----------------------------------------
Bucky stood in the living area that Thor shared with Loki when they visited.
He paced fuming as Thor went to fetch his brother and hopefully Dolly. If she wasn't here...
Bucky was torn between hoping Dolly was safe here and gone missing.
"Hey dad..." Dolly's soft voice answered his prayer, "Sorry I worried you."
Bucky wanted to rush and hug her, but stopped himself when he saw her holding Loki's hand. He wanted to be mad, but he understood how silly that was.
Loki kissed Dolly's temple, "I too apologize for causing worry-"
Bucky sighed, "No... It's ok. Just next time if you're not coming home call."
Dolly hugged her dad, "I promise."
Loki grinned, "Maybe tonight we can stay in your room."
Bucky gave him a look, "Don't push it."
