The Year that Never Was

The Truth will set you free

Natasha's P.O.V

It's been 3 months since Loki and I have been going out and let me tell you it was amazing. Especially the sex, but that's another story. He's so passionate & charming yet cunning and full of mischief. Loki always makes sure everything was in my best interest, listens to me blabber away and takes me out on the most beautiful dates.

One time when we're taking a short cut through the ally a group of 5 thugs tried to mug us. I was about to go black widow on them and make Loki feel like less of a man, but that didn't happened. Instead he suprised me. When the thugs launched at us, he gracefully kicked their asses. It was almost like dancing the way he swung his legs, blocked and dodged hits. It went by so fast. His I could tell he was determined on one thing......to protect me. Although he's very skillful, too skillful for an average man.

Don't get me wrong I love him. Yep I said it, and I truly mean it. We both talked about our feelings for each other, only to find out we love one another. But it feels like there's something else is hiding in the shadows. What's worst is; I haven't seen or heard from Loki in a week. I'm starting to get worried.

Loki's P.O.V

"BROTHER WHY DO YOU LOOK SO GLUM?" Thor practically shouted at me. " It's nothing brother , I'm just thinking.. " I had came back home to find something special for Natasha. She means everything to me. I would do anything for her even jump in front of train for her.

" MAYBE A POPTART WILL EASE YOUR MIND BROTHER." he was holding said poptart in front of me."where the Hel did you get that from " I questioned. "POPTART TREE!" *face palm *I swear sometimes I think I'm adopted. "Brother by any chance do you any good jewelry merchants around here?"

His expression turned into a amused one."Why yes I do. Are you looking to court someone dear brother? Whose the lucky dame?" I instantly blushed "Maybe. let's just say she is the most wonderful mortal I've ever met. Will you show me where that merchant is please?" Thor's smile dropped, he looked like he was about to cry. Why? "Sure anything for you....brother." The entire walk to the merchant's was awkward silence. I wonder what's up Thor's arse. When we got there I could feel Thor's eyes burning through my back as I picked out the perfect thing for Natasha.

She's going to love it. Back to Midgard I go. Said goodbye to my family & friends then headed to the Bifrost. "LOKI!!!" It was Thor running toward me. I groaned. "What is brother, I'm about to go?"

He stopped in front of me. " I know it is forbidden to do this but....... I LOVE YOU LOKI ODINSON!!" what could I say I was shocked & confused. "Thor..." Out of nowhere he kissed me very rough. Then before I knew it I was thrown into the telport machine. The last thing I saw was Thor flying away, before I was whipped away to midgard

Thor's P.O.V

I flew as fast as I could to my room. I am the god of thunder. No one must see me cry only Loki, my brother that I am in love with deeply. I know it's forbidden but I've always dreamed of us being together. You know making it our little secret, but when I heard him talked that Migardian my heart sunked. I love him, I want him to be happy, I just want him. His soft lips, his sexy touch, & his cunning voice. I have loved him since the day I could remember.

"NOW HE'LL NEVER LOVE ME!!!!" I sobbed loudly. I was crying & scarfing down poptart for hours , then Farther came in looking worried. "Son no need to explain, I saw it happened," He sighed loudly. "come here boy let daddy help you forget."

Natasha's P.O.V

"hyyyyha" I killed the lasted of the intruders. Man, I really hate Russian ninjas they're so hard to beat. I was about to call clean up , but someone busted through the door. Holy shit it was Loki! well he looked shocked but not scared, that was a good sign. " Now that the cat's out of the bag, let me explain.

" He nodded and went to go sit on the couch. I sat next to him. "I'm a highly skillful mercenary, and everday someone is trying to kill me. My code name is black widow." I don't know why but it felt good to tell him this. Like a weight being lifted off my chest.

"I'm perfectly fine with this. Since we're being honest I might as well too." Loki responded. "I am Loki Odinson of Asgard. The god of mischief." That was not wat I was expecting. He knew I didn't believed him because I gave him that WTF face. Before I could ask him to prove: he raised his hand & whispered something in a funny language. Then there was a flash of light and the bodies disappeared. "OK now I believe you" Loki stood up & walked in front of me.

"Now my dearest Natasha I hope this isn't too soon but ," he got down on one knee and pulled out a small box, "Will you marry me?" He opened the small box, it contained a gold ring with a roundlike diamond in the center & four red rubys, each on one side. It was beautiful. I knew I was taking forever to answer, but I was scared. The gleam of hope was slowly dying in Loki's eyes.

I love this man, & know for a fact he won't hurt me. "yes!" I shouted happily. He smiled widely and hugged me. "oh thank the god's" breathed. I'm happy I made this choice. We kissed passionately. funny he tastes like poptarts. Maybe he likes those?
