Illuminated.(A Loki Love Story)

What Lies Beyond- Ch 15

I felt a slight blush on my cheeks as I kissed This man back. He reached over to brush some hair from my face and smiled.

''Lovely?'' He grinned and placed my hand on his chest. ''What are you-'' ''I know you can feel it.'' He cut me off. ''My Heart,Trouncing through in my chest.'' I stared at him,only blinking when I had too.

''Thats...Beautiful.'' I replied while turnning the car back on. ''We have to go back,Now. Marco and Siti, They're waiting for me to come home...'' He sighed and sank into the seat gracefully. ''Yes. I look forward to using your flat.'' I stare at him and cock my head to the side. ''Wait,What?''

"You need not worry, It will not be long before my stupid brother realizes I'm gone and come to collect me.'' I nodded and looked off as I drove home, An empty feeling in the pit of my stomach.

''You're back?! Thank god.'' Marco hugged me and Siti was going through Netflix, ''We need to speak,Now.'' I told them as Loki made himself at home at the bar. We all walked down the hall to my bedroom and Loki-bird chirped in her cage.

''He has to stay here.'' I said trying to be as upfront as possible. Marco's lips pursed in an unslightly way and he folded his arms; He was going to listen to my reason.. '' I can't let him go wreak havoc in another realm. I'd be accountable for that crap.'' I babbled on as my best friend and cousin listened. When I finished, Marco nodded. ''I'm sleeping in the living room with him then. For this weekend. Since we have the same night class tomorrow.'' he offered.

I almost jumped out of my seat in excitement, but I retained myself. ''Marco you're the best. It'll only be for a couple of-.''

''Aorablle I don't care how long it takes. Just nothing funny.'' Siti stared at us and gaped. ''Really? REALLY?! Ewwww I just can't even.'' she muttered random words under her breath and sighed. ''Do you boo boo.'' She said finally. I laughed and they all came it for a hug or two.~

I was awaken the next morning by a light snoring in my ear. ''Siti....Get off of me.'' I whispered without opening my eyes. ''What are you talking about?'' I jumped and opened my eyes to a half asleep Siti. I pushed her off of me and rolled over. It had been quiet all night, I slid out of bed My hair was in a messy pony tail and I was clad in 'The Big Bang Theory' themed Pajamas. I walked out into the living room,From the balcony I could see that it was still raining out. Morning was hazy and dim outside.

''Morning Princess.'' I heard Marco whisper as he came in through the front door,A huge bag of McDonald’s breakfast and a walmart bag in his hand. ''What is that?'' I ask a little curious. ''I didn't want to deal with him so early and cook breakfast, I went to get some and stopped to get some clothes for the bastard...No need to thank me.'' He smiled.

I walked over and took the bags from him, I knew I had a lot to do today: Shopping, Cleaning, 'catching up' With Loki. I was lucky to have Marco somewhat supporting me. ''I'll wait for Siti to wake up on her own, I just want peace right now.'' Marco nodded and sniffed the air. ''I have Theology in 20 minutes, I'm going to get dressed. I already ate.''

I nodded and waited for his room door to close. I tip-toed over to where Loki was sleeping peacefully. It made my heart melt a little bit; He slept like he hadn't slept well in years, He was turned on his side and a slight could be heard coming from him. I giggled and sat cross legged beside him on the floor. '' Loki, Prince of Asgard; lying sleepily on a mortals couch.'' I mocked to myself and fell on my back whilst in the middle of a laugh.

I lay on my back,In a laughing fit. I hadn't even noticed that said Asgardian was staring at me with curiosity burning in his eyes. I froze at once when I caught sight of him. ''I woke you up?'' I asked him. ''I'm sorry.'' I pushed my hair back and smiled wryly. ''It's fine. I've watched you sleep plenty times.'' He sat up and stretched in the most beautiful way. It was weird, the way he moved and even blinked, after everything he'd done, everything we'd been through. He somehow still had a hold on me, he was still able to make my cheeks flare up in blush, still made me bat my eyes and want him in a way that was in no way human.
