In-between Love Sweat And Tears (Loki Short Stories And One Shots)

Appreciation

Today, it was all about Loki. Confusing him, but loving him. Currently, you were walking through a random huge mall, (You both had snuck out from the tower) and you were giving Loki a sudden questionnaire to fill out. You were asking the questions, and whatever he answered you would write down.
"Asian or Italian?" "Italian." "Park or Theater?" "Park." "Pub or Club?" "Club." "Concert or Ballroom?" "Hmm.. Concert." "Modern or traditional?" "What are these questions?" "Mine, keep answering." "Hm.. Modern." "Walk or carriage?" "Carriage." "Shower or bath?" "Bath." "Spicy, sweet, or a mixture?" "Mixture." "Mhmm.." Smiling innocently, you look at him. "No reading my mind to figure out what I just did." "But why all of the questions so suddenly?" "Not saying. And if you read my mind you'll either be saying goodbye to pudding or to sex tonight." "Y/N, how could you?" "If you don't read my mind you'll get both tonight."
You hum, pulling him into a little shop. It sold your usual items like incense sticks, charms, aesthetic items, yoga mats, etc. "Alright, find a few things that you like. And this place sells a hundred count incense sticks for only five dollars and you can mix it all." "Is that so? What are you going to do?" "Just come find me once you've got what you want. And keep out of my head mister." Gently pushing him in a random direction, you go off in a different direction of the shop.
Finding the crystal necklaces, you smile happily and look through them all carefully. Prosperity, Love, Wisdom, Peace, Health, Energy, Fun. You choose a few different designs out of the colors that they have, and settle for a pack of ten chains to put the crystals on. Grabbing a clear baggie that the store offers, you put the items inside gently before you keep looking around. You stumble upon the dream catchers, and rub your chin some as you look at them all. They're very pretty, but you could only hope that they would actually work. Or at least the one you would pick out. Sighing carefully, you decide to let your gut decide. Or, your mind. Whichever, the one that stood out to you.
Glancing over each one, you end up choosing a medium sized dream catcher. It's a bright turquoise color, with black tipped white feathers hanging down a few inches below the hem. The inner design has a black crescent moon on the left, and the rest is art with a black wolf that seems to stare directly at you with eyes just as bright blue as the turquoise. Starlike dot patterns decorate both in white, finishing it. "That one is rather stunning, isn't it?"
You turn your head to find Loki standing beside you as he's studying the same dream catcher, and you nod. "It is. Good dreams stay, bad dreams go." You bite your lip, reaching up and grabbing it carefully so that you don't mess it up. "Imma get it, but if it doesn't work I'm going to figure out how to make it work." Chuckling, Loki kisses the top of your head. "I'll help you, my love." You smile at him, before looking to see what he has gotten. A ton of incense sticks for the bundle, that's for sure. "Is that all you got, Loki?" "You said I could get what I wanted." Rolling your eyes, you smile. "We'll go to a different department after this. And then we can get some food." Kissing his cheek as he nods, you pay for everything that you've gotten, before you and Loki continue walking around.
After a trip to a Bath and Body Works department, a mini pet store, and Spencer's, you and Loki are enjoying some Panda Express together. "Are you going to let me know what you asked all of those questions earlier?" "Nope~. And I'm going to up the stakes. If you read my mind, I'll ban sex for a week, and no more of the pudding you like. It'll be sugar free jello- No, rice pudding." Stiffening, Loki stares at you. "Please don't do that. I won't invade your mind." "Good." You giggle, making a disapproving sound as he steals a piece of orange chicken from your plate.

Once back at the tower, you get to work on planning tomorrow's activities in your room. Loki's behaving for you, looking at the crystals that you've bought. "Why so many?" You hum, being on your phone and keeping the screen from his line of view. "Every day is usually different, so I wanted to infuse my aura into each one. You can wear them, too." "Asgard has real ones." "I bet they do, but we can't go there yet, can we?" "Well, technically my brother and I can with the tesseract." You smile, still typing away furiously on your screen. "If I give up some of my pudding to you, will you tell me one thing?" "Bribery is a big no no, no matter how small or cute." "Cute, you say?" "You aren't getting me with that look, either."
