Note: This was originally requested to be Y/N having ADHD but tbh i don't know the condition enough to feel comfortable writing about it. it's not so much accuracy but i don't want to risk offending anyone who has it and i describe it wrong so the one shot had to be adjusted to "hyper"
Loki's fingers tightened against his book, gradually raising it closer to his face so it somehow heightened the chances of concentrating better. The sound of shoes passed by him for what felt like the hundredth time before it would then come back to go to opposite way. His brows furrowed and a low hum threatened to leave his lips while his patience drew closer and closer to withdrawing.
Finally, as soon as the sound of a chair could be heard being scrapped against the wood flooring, did he snap his book shut and he rose his eyes quickly towards the sound with a frown.
Low and behold you had found yourself balancing upon a chair, reaching as high as you could for the drapes that hung from the hook by the largest window in your bedroom. you finally opted to balancing on one foot- somehow thinking it would give you extra height before a frustrated exhale left your nostrils. 'I need to go higher..-' you thought and as soon as your feet left the chair, you felt two strong arms wrap around your waist and catch you from probably falling onto the ground.
A chest was pressed against your back, your hands flying to the forearms of the being behind you before you felt yourself being turned and set on the ground with less than a delicate landing. Turning around, you rocked a guilty look while your dress flowed with your quick movement, seeming to match the faint red color in your boyfriend's cheeks while he opted to hide his bothered state and look down at you.
''by Norns sake Y/N- what are you doing?" he asked, his voice hiding his frustration weakly while he clasped his hands behind his back.
You barely flexed a muscle to wave at your present activity but he quickly held a finger up to stop you and drew in a breath. ''with your words darling.'' He reminded, a little gentler while you looked up at him with his careful eyes that were ready to capture your monologue.
''so I figured while you were reading I'd busy myself around our room cause I noticed the chambermaid didn't put on the sheets straight so I just decided to strip the bed and do it myself but that made me realize sheets are for warmth and I was cold at that point so I went over to made the fire bigger and then fire made me think about light so I turned around to find the light of my life- you- and then figured you may not have enough light while you were reading so I was going to open the curtains more but then noticed how they don't exactly match to well with the new colored sheets we got then we picked them out together so I was going to take them down and go hunt some new ones before you stopped me just now.'' You rambled, putting together everything into words in one breath while Loki gave you the familiar stare where it had no expression but his mind was trying to figure out things as fast as you had spoken.
''..darling..'' he began with a low tone, calm even but careful so you wouldn't think he was bothered. ''first of all, don't ever go up onto a piece of furniture and risk yourself falling. Second of all, we have maids that can fix all that with the mere ring of a bell or a holler. Third of all, we've talked about calming your mind and finishing one project at a time so you are not accidently left with several possibly unfinished ones.''
''I know it's just- I thought I'd have no problem doing it all this time.. i like the work-''
Loki gently scooped up both of your hands and placed a kiss on both, having to lean doing a little so he could look you in the eyes with love and patience. ''I know you do darling, but here we have our own responsibilities and the ones you're used to on Midgard are already being taken care of.'' He reasoned, knowing it was still an adjustment from having come from Midgard to Asgard and adjusting your independence but at the same time your wild mind tended to get the best of you.
''besides,'' he added, wanting to cheer you up when he placed a hand on your stomach. ''if you are to carry one day, you must learn not to exhaust yourself.''
Your cheeks heated up and you turned away with your hands covering your cheeks. ''don't talk about stuff like that- we haven't even-''
Two hands wrapped around your waist then, pulling you back so your back was up against his chest again with his lips pressing to your exposed neck ''perhaps it's a good time to start, distract you from other things..'' he smirked, his voice low and but a whisper which made you shiver.
''your mother is expecting us this afternoon- we haven't got time and need to finis-'' your steps were interrupted by Loki once again picking you up from the ground, arms around your own to pin at your sides while your feet dangled. ''Loki!"
''you worry to much darling and need to relax yourself.'' He told you, his voice a gentle warning while he buried his face in your hair to inhale your floral scent.
''..fine, I'll leave it to the maids.'' You sigh with mild frustration while you squirmed in his arms.
''relax darling.'' He warned you again, his voice soothing in hopes it will help while you drew in a breath and fell limp.
''faking it darling will not work again, I will only end up catching you to start over, so relax.'' He told you again with a chuckle while you sighed and tried one more time to squirm out of his arms.
His hold on you was firm, like always and was a battle you haven't won yet nor you think you ever will. Drawing in a deep breath, you closed your eyes to calm your mind and pushed away any thoughts as best you could before you felt your body begin to loosen and untense. You felt your heart rate begin to slow down and your body slowly lowered so you could stand on your own while Loki kept his arms around you.
Allowing you to turn around to face him, you smiled up at your lover while he moved his hands to your hips, leaning down to brush his nose against yours. ''alright darling, I'll fetch the maid to take over. Why don't you sit with me for a few more minutes before we get ready to join mother?"
You beamed up at him while grasping his hand excitedly ''you could always read out loud until it's time?"
Loki chuckled and let you pull him over to the couch, taking hold of his book again while you got yourself comfy on his lap and closed your eyes. No sooner did a second pass before you looked at him again while he searched for his previous page.
''while reading, have you ever thought about-''
''no darling. Reading is reading, everything else can wait until I choose to be done.'' He said calmly, clearly in no rush while he settled back and pulling you closer into him.
''wish I had your ability..'' you shrugged, not entirely sad about it while you rested your cheek against his chest.
''then who would keep me busy?" he teased, laughing once you swatted at his arm until it turned itself into a chasing match, Loki laughing while he moved himself between furniture, making you trail quickly to keep up and catch him.
''you can't run forever'' you tease while you debating jumping over the low table to get to him.
He merely smirked and spread his arms out to his sides while he waited for you to run around to him.
''I'm in no rush darling.''
