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

Sakaar pt 8

He had to find a way to show you without risking it all in here alone. He could only thank The Gods that he had been inquisitive on just what you were blessed with by The Grandmaster for all these years of solitude.

"You're saying you have your own ship."

"Yes, I do."

"Gifted to you by The Grandmaster."

"That's correct."

"And you have yet to actually fly it."

"I don't exactly have anywhere to go."

"That may be true, but you also have all of the codes to his other ships."

"So what if I do?"

"You have a fleet of ships at the ready, and you aren't trying to leave."

"I will repeat myself, Prince. I don't exactly have anywhere to go."

If push came to shove, however, you would have a place to go. And it would be with him.

"... But have you at least decorated your ship?"

"The most I've done is decorate one of the rest areas as a safe space. Which is why I'm telling you about having a ship. And why we're heading to the hangers."

"And this includes the rather heavy alcohol and a couple of these so-called snacks."

"Did you not want something to enjoy while actually enjoying yourself?"

"Well I assumed I'd be enjoying you, as my actual enjoyment."

"Well, there's more than just me to enjoy."

"What if I don't want to enjoy anything else?"

He didn't want anything else. He didn't want anyone else. He wanted you.

"You're so clingy, Loki."

"Oh that's grand coming from you, Y/N. Were you not just holding onto me for dear life in the bath this morning?"

"T.. That was unrelated. You looked like you needed help with bathing properly."

He had missed these random and quirky arguments with you. They used to be so much more innocent back then, but they were still very enjoyable, if not more now.

"Is that so? Well, I suppose you were using your mouth for more than just those beautiful musical notes that I've been accustomed to. But I need to know just how you were able to do it so properly--"

You nudged him quickly, your cheeks on fire as he chuckled. "I'm just attentive to your responses." You mutter, embarrassed.

You were always attentive to him, even now, even after so many years.

Feeling him softly tuck a strand of your hair behind your ear, you look forward shyly. "You've grown so beautifully, you know... I wish I had been able to truly see it all."

You look at him quickly as you both have paused while walking, his green eyes having flecks of blue in them as he stares at you lovingly.

You have to look away, sometimes wishing he didn't have such a power over you.

You had a power over him, one that he'd fuel with his own passion for as long as you'd have him.

Your face is heating up worse as you try to calm the fast beating in your chest. "W... Well... You've grown up beautifully as well, my Prince, much more so than I... And I... I should have been there to see it.. S-So, all we can do now is move forward." You rub part of your face shyly, the other hand holding onto the snacks.
