Promp: He longed for her and was going to find her if it was the last thing he was going to do.

Loki's POV
The pain in my fingertips remind me I need to ease up clutching Asgard's balcony as I gaze down at the festivities. It is of nothing new, nor of real importance. It's a celebration gathering that happens nearly every night after a successful kill or battle than most likely was easily accomplished but most people snag an easy excuse to drink. Not me, there were more important matters to focus on..
Finding her.
My eyes raise and fall closed slowly at the mere thought of her and I could almost smell her perfume. If she were kidnapped, it would have made it all the more easier to locate her and much fun bringing an end to those who thought they could take what is mine.. but she seemed to have fled on her over volition.
I know she is merely in denial of her own feelings towards me, most women tend to play hard to get, in Midgardian terms. I'm fully aware that she misses her home there, but what better place to live than the one you are suppose to be with?
PAST
"you cant just send spies! I can handle myself-''
''darling.'' I cut her off, knowing she was going to bring up the fact that she used to be an Avenger- a name that leaves distaste in my mouth as I gaze down before her. Her shorter height was an advantage to take things in control when I speak but often it feels like I was speaking to a child as she looked up at me with stubborn eyes.
''you are new to this realm, you could get hurt or lost or worse.. they are there to protect you, given the same duties as they would protecting the royals.'' I indicate myself as she looks away from me, clutching the balcony's edge as I look at her while her back faces me. I would admit that my eyes took the chance to travel down but I focus my words on the conversation at hand as I clear my throat. ''I don't like being under protection either, but I serve an important part to Asgard. Some things we just have to accept-''
She turned around as her fingers clutched her dress at her sides, not knowing fully what to do with her dainty hands as she took a deep breath to calm herself. Her attitude makes me stiffen as I stay quiet. For now.
''I've been on Asgard for a month! I have memorized the palace and know the borders of the city, the creatures that would hurt me and the curfew you apparently set up for me to be back in our room.'' Sarcasm hinted in her voice as she stiffened as well, glancing behind me at the curtains that moved with the gentle breeze of this night in Asgard. ''I can take care of myself and the fact that you want me watched, back at a certain time and to report my actions of the day every day is highly unnecessary..''
At this point I have already made my way over to her while she spoke, her words fading off as her hands grip the balcony edge behind her while I stop just before our shoes could touch. Why couldn't she understand that I am only trying to protect her.. my hand raises slowly, caressing her cheek but to my dismay, she didn't return my affections through her eyes.. as if I were touching stone.
''I'm doing this for your own good Y/N, you've put yourself through danger countless times on Midgard- and you've only been here a month, how can I believe you'll be safer in a place you've been in a short amount of time compared to the dangerous place you call home?'' my words seemed to sting, but it was true.. but her moving her head away from my hand made my body tense.
