Loki Shorts

Just to Make You Smile part III

You wake up wrapped in Loki's arms and smile. You feel him shift behind you and tighten his arms around your waist.

"You up love?" He whispers.

"Yes." You sigh. "I should probably get up."

"No, stay. It's still dark outside."

"Loki, you know I have to leave before someone sees me leaving here at this hour. That's the whole reason I came here instead of you coming to my house. Someone would notice you were missing then there would be an absolute shit storm that-"

"We were alone together. I know. For how ancient of a civilization we are, you'd think we wouldn't have such strict courting standards."

"Well I would imagine that tends to happen after you end up giving birth to an eight legged horse."

"Don't make fun of my children."

"I wasn't, I'm just saying that knowing Odin, he would rather the royal family be more normal than it is."

"Well he has no problem using Sleipnir as transportation."

"Oh Loki." You run a hand through his hair. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

There's a minute of silence. "I really should go though."

He sighs and lets go of you. "I'll see you later."

"I love you loki." You kiss his forehead. You can feel Loki's eyes on you as you get up and dress. Before you know it he's behind you kissing down your neck and running his hands along your shoulders. "Loki..." you turn around.

"What?" He asks as his hands come to rest at your waist.

"You know what. Not now."

"You're right, I'm sorry. Let me get you home."

You kiss him. "Okay."

He pulls you close and teleports you into your house. "So what are your plans today?"

"I'm taking some time off work to help with the foundation. We're starting by going to schools and educating the students about the new laws. Letting them know that someone cares, and is there to help. For home studies programs there will be a few days when we will educate them. All students are required to attend one of those days.

"Good. It sounds like you're off to a good start." I'll let you get a few more hours of sleep before you have to go then."

"Good night."

"Love you, good night."

He leans in and kisses you before disappearing.

"I hate it when you do that." You say to the now empty room.

You're walking to a classroom where you're going to give the presentation when you see a little girl crying. You sit next to her.

"What's wrong?"

She looks up at you and wipes her eyes. "You're the one Prince Loki is courting."

"I am." You smile.

"Are you going to be a princess soon?"

"I don't know. I don't know if I want to get married."

"Why not? The greatest honor for a girl is to get married and have children."

You laugh. "Who told you that?"

"My father. And my big sister. And my teacher."

"Well they're all wrong. You can do whatever you want. Look at Lady Sif. She is one of the fiercest warriors this realm has ever known. She has great honor. Yes?"
