Sometimes being with Loki can be... something. But most of the time it's always surprising. I woke up in an empty bed, stretching my arm out to feel for my beloved but he wasn't there, I frowned and peeked an eye open, sitting up and rubbing the sleep from my eyes. I stood and walked to the bathroom, he wasn't in there either. I washed my face and did my business before walking out of my room and down the hallways. The palace of Asgard was gigantic, the outside made with fine gold and the interior was polished and velvety. The walls held windows that looked out into the city of Asgard and to the gardens of the palace.

There were multiple rooms in the family wing, and even more in the guest wing. The kitchens were grand and wide, accompanied with the dining room. Then the court room where the throne sat in its glory, and Odin, the king and all-father, sat on it. Then the queen's study. I've only been in there a few times but there were shelves on shelves on shelves littering the walls, the smell of eucalyptus always lingering in the air. Her desk was always neat and clean, only a fair amount of books and scrolls laid on the desk.

Making my way through the hallways were always an adventure, maids and servants rushing through the halls in order to get to their destination. I walked into the 'chill lounge' as the warrior three calls it, seeing Thor, Sif and Hogun sitting on the couches talking about something as Frandral and Volstagg ate at the table. Still there was no Loki to be found.

"Morning. Have you guys seen Loki?" I asked, Thor smiled at me and shook his head

"No, he might be with mother or in the library. He didn't come to training either so good luck." He said, I nodded and bit my goodbye, deciding to check the library first, I walked through the giant rows of literature but there was still no sign of Loki. I sighed and made my way back out, walking to Queen Frigga's study, knocking gently on the door I heard faint hushing then a "who is it?"

"It's Y/n... I was wondering if Loki was with you. I didn't see him this morning and he didn't go training with Thor and the warrior three, I'm quite worried..." I said through the door, I heard gentle murmuring then the door slowly opened, just enough that I could see Frigga peeking out

"Loki's fine dear, just came down with something so I'm, uhm, taking care of him." She said, she hesitated a little at the end which got me more worried

"Can I see him? Just so it'll ease my mind." I pleaded, she looked over her shoulder then back at me with a sigh, she opened the door wide enough so I could slip in.

On the couch sat Loki, only he wasn't the normal Loki I knew... he so happened to be... blue.

I stood frozen in shock and awe at him, he didn't look me in the eye once, only keeping his eyes on the floor below him. I breathed out and took a step towards him, then another, and another till I reached him. I sat next to my blue Loki and gently touched his shoulder, he jerked away from me and he sat further from me

"Hey..." I spoke gently, his jaw clenched and his eyes clenched shut, it pained me to see him like this, scared to even look me in the eye

"I'll give you two some privacy" Queen Frigga saidbefore walking out the study, closing the door behind her. I fully turnedtowards him, placing my arm on the back of the couch and propping my head upwith it. My eyes ran over the intricate designs etched into his blue skin, his eyes were a scarlet red, his hair was being parted by two small horns growing from his head. Icy smoke floated around his shoulders, making the air around him chilly.

"Talk to me, sweetie..." I said gently, he swallowed thickly then raised his head, staring at the bookshelf in front of him

"Why aren't you afraid of this? I'm hideous." He spoke in a whisper, my chest ached at his words, I stood up and sat on the floor in front of him, his eyes falling on me in confusion

"Why should I be? You're still the Loki I know and love. The color of your skin or your race won't change that." I told him, he gently shook his head, his bottom lip trembling ever so slightly

"But I-I'm the monster that parents tell their children about at night. Everyone thinks I'm evil already, that I'm a cold, heartless god that would kill anyone in an instant. If they find out I'm one of those barbarians... they'll surely have my head on a platter." He said stuttering over his words, his eyes flashed with so much emotions and then none at all... going from a heartbroken man with severe trauma to as numb as a statue

"Listen to me," I began, sitting up on my knees and gently touching his face, the chilly flesh nipping at my skin, I pulled my hands back slowly, realizing that if I touched him any longer I would probably get frost bite. "You're not a monster. You're a beautiful man who I love dearly. Who would kill in an instant only to protect the people he loves. A man who is kind and so smart that he shocks me every morning I wake up beside him. So don't think for a moment that I will stop loving you just because you're blue."

"Why are you so good with words?" he asked with a quivering smile, I smiled with him and chuckled "why aren't you even a little bit fazed by the fact I'm a frost giant?"

"Cause it's not the first time I've seen you like this..." I admitted, he furrowed his brows and looked at me confused

"What do you mean?" he asked, staring at me like if I've grown two heads

"A few weeks ago I woke up in the middle of the night and you were blue. I didn't say anything because I wanted you to tell me on your own time." I told him, standing back up and taking his now pale hand in mine, pulling him to his feet and kissing him, his lips still felt cold but not to the point it hurt. He wrapped his arms around me and leaned into the kiss, once we pulled away from each other he hugged me to his chest tightly, exhaling deeply and kissing my head

"Thank you, Darling. I love you dearly." He murmured against my head, I chuckled and kisses his chin

"I love you too... my blue icicle..." I said teasingly, he laughed and poked my side, tickling me as revenge.

Even though we both go through hardships and trials, we're still there to pick each other up when we fall. I'm his rock and he's, my anchor. I love him more than the stars in all universes, and I can only hope that he does also.
