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

Fun

"I want to do something really fun."

You had said this to Loki, as you would rather be doing something positive rather than moping around and waiting for the two days to be over.

Loki looked over to you from where he sat, as you were pouring two cups of tea. "Oh? And what did you have in mind?" Waltzing over to him, you hand him one of the cups carefully. "Be careful, and I want to learn something only you could teach me." You tell him, sitting down a bit eagerly.
Raising his eyebrows, he smiles. "Only something I could teach you? Is this perhaps pertaining to all of those thoughts about you wanting to learn Asgardian?"

You nod quickly, your cheeks red. "Y-yes. If you knew why didn't you say anything?" Chuckling, Loki sets his cup down and kisses you softly. "I wanted you to ask me, first." You smile, and jump a bit as you hear Peter yell. "I wanna learn too!"
Rushing over, Peter's in pajamas as he quickly sits next to you, as you're both facing Loki now. You try not to giggle, smiling and shrugging.

Sighing, Loki can't help his smile from this interest. "Fine, but only for the two of you, you're the only ones I can stand."

Thor ends up overhearing next, and basically barges into the conversation rather happily. You however, tell him that Loki is in charge of this for the night, but that he could help if Loki wanted a demonstrator for things.

This in turn gets Steve, Bucky, Nat, and Clint to come over also, before Tony has turned up as he's coming in from his work area. Bruce isn't far behind, and Loki once again has 'a full class'.

But he couldn't be happier, it seemed, to be giving this lesson in Asgard.

Not much more after that, you're being taught one type of dance by Loki as Thor is teaching everyone else (that wanted to learn) the other different dance that is common on Asgard, and you can't help but to be smiling so much at Loki. "Your cheeks are going to get stuck like that if you don't relax, my dear." "I can't help it, I'm too excited for this. And you're my teacher so triple brownie points."
Chuckling, Loki leans down and kisses you softly. "How did I ever get so lucky?" He whispered softly against your lips, making you smile even more. "Not as lucky as I." You whisper back to him, enjoying the next kiss he leaves on your lips.

Showing you how to start off, you quickly pick up on the steps he's showing you, even with a few missteps on your part. It feels like the Waltz, but it has more elegance and fun to it. You try to lessen your smile, but it doesn't help as he's holding your hands for one of the moments of the dance and you both have to make eye contact up close. He can't help his full smile either by this time, before he's having you spin in circles around him as he claps gently. 'Is this going to be our dance at the wedding?' You ask him mentally as you've stopped, watching him do his part of the dance around you next. 'It very much will be, my rosebud.' You try not to mess up as you're practically beaming by now, continuing to learn the dance with him.

As soon as you've finished, you're getting pulled over with Loki by a very energetic Thor that wants you both to join in on the group dance. Loki knows this one, and chuckles as you're taught by Thor.
Thor shows you the steps, before you're all dancing together.
Then the rarest occurrence of both brothers singing a song together happens as they teach you and Peter the words, which blows you over the moon to hear.

Once everyone is either too tired or tired but still buzzing, Peter and Bucky pick out some movies that you all can watch.

Feeling as though you should go shower and change into pajamas first, you head upstairs to your room.

Loki isn't far behind, and pulls you into his arms as you enter the room. Laughing softly, you rub his arms before turning around in his hold to face him. "You're glowing, you know." You tell Loki, and he hums rather happily. "How could I not be? I haven't done something like that in a while, and now I get to do it with you." You watch him as your smile softens, seeing a bit of sadness behind the joy in his eyes. "Once this situation is resolved, we can do this properly." You say to him, caressing his cheek lovingly. "Your happiness means so much more to me than my own, Loki. And enjoying the little things with you is so much more meaningful to me than anything." Squeezing you closer to him, Loki gently lifts you up on the hug and kisses your lips softly. "My happiness is right here in my arms. You, loving me, loving you, loving me." You wrap your arms around his neck gently, running your fingers through his hair softly. "Say it again, but slower." You tease, your body shivering as he grins softly and lands light kisses against your lips. "You. Loving me. Loving you. Loving me." 

Your eyes flutter closed as you melt into his arms, holding the last kiss with him. His arms move from around your waist to the back of your legs gently, hoisting you up. Wrapping your legs around his waist readily, you both disappear into the bathroom to shower.

Once you're both cleaned up and in pajamas, you put your hair into a bun before seeing that Loki had done the same with his, and you giggle. "Matching buns, that's nice." Smiling to you, Loki grabs your hands, and gently leads you over to the bed to sit for a moment, and then he speaks.

"Du er min evige kjærlighet."

Blinking quickly, you stare at him questionably, but excitedly. "What does that mean?"

He rests his forehead against yours gently, looking softly into your eyes. "It means, 'You are my forever love.'" Your cheeks burn hotter than you've ever felt them, and you can't help but stare back into his eyes. "T... Teach me how to say it, please." Chuckling softly, Loki squeezes your hands. "Why wouldn't I teach you?" You smile, and then do your best to repeat his words correctly.

"No, evige. Not evite." "Evige." "Good. Now say kjærlighet." "Kua- No I got it. K.. Kjærlighet." Loki gently presses a finger up against under your chin. "Annunciate like this. 'Kjæ. Rlighet'." You try again a few more times until you get it just right. "Kjærlighet."  Grinning, Loki nods. "Now say it altogether, my love."

"Du er min evige kjærlighet."

You smile happily as you manage it to get it in the one go, your gaze looking deep into Loki's as you squeeze his hands and say it to him again. His cheeks softly flush in color before he's pulling you close, holding you in his arms. Burying into him, you smile softly and wrap your arms around him as you close your eyes, both of you enjoying each other's embrace.

You both look over as you hear knocking. "Brother, Y/N, you're going to miss the film! And Parker has ordered pizzas!" Giggling, you smile. "We'll be right there, Thor!" Listening to his footsteps leave, you look back up to Loki, slightly caught off guard by him holding your hand up to his chest and kissing along your knuckles softly. "Y/N.."

Watching him softly, you notice that even though he's saying your name with love, he seems bothered by something. "I can't lose you..." His words are barely audible, but you do hear them. Your smile lessens for a moment, before you gently raise his chin up with your fingers softly so that he's looking at you. "You won't... Not again, not ever, Loki." You say determinedly, looking into his eyes.

He searches your gaze for a few seconds before he relaxes, and you gently pull his face down until his head rests against your chest with his ear over your heart.

As he hears your heartbeat, Loki wraps his arms around you and listens, as you gently run your fingers through his hair. Your heartbeat is calming down from the small excitement earlier, and is now helping Loki relax the longer he listens. He sighs slowly, his cool breath making you shiver before he pulls away from you gently. You rest your hand on his cheek, leaving it there for a moment. "Do you wanna rest in bed with me?" You ask him, but he rests his hand over yours and kisses your palm. "After we go enjoy some movies with the others. I doubt they'll let us actually have some rest until after we've had some food." Nodding softly, you lean up and rest your forehead against his, giving him an Eskimo kiss that he enjoys. Soon enough, you both get up and head back downstairs, just as the pizzas have been delivered.

The movies do help, and as it gets late Thor and Peter are knocked out on the couches. You carefully clean up the empty pizza boxes and soda bottles as Loki lays a blanket on both of the boys, making you smile as you catch him doing so.

You both retire to bed afterwards, and Loki holds you closer than ever. Rubbing his cheek softly, you press yourself up against him, looking into his eyes. "Are you comfortable, my Prince?" Smiling softly, he nods. "I want to stay like this forever with you." You chuckled softly, smiling shyly. "It's not like I have anything better to do, I've got time." You tease. "Is that so?" You squeal and giggle as he suddenly pulls you closer and moves on top of you, accepting the kiss lovingly that he bestows upon you. Holding both of your hands above your head, he entwines your fingers with his and doesn't break the kiss for a good moment, at least until you need to breathe.

Panting softly, you smile at him shyly and close your eyes, enjoying the feeling of his forehead against yours again.
"I love you so much, Loki." "I love you too, Y/N. Forever and always."
