*Flashback 5 years*

The cold Asgardian wind blew outside of the castle, but inside it was warm and cozy, considering how big it was. It would have been nice to relax, but there was much to be done. That was the day, Odin and Frigga found poor Ophine sick in the streets and she was taken straight to the castle for treatment. Ophine tossed and turned, she was hot but then cold. She would have awful hallucinations and visions about death. But, though it was a close call, she slowly became well. Thor would sometimes sneek in to check on her, but Loki was always sneeking in to her room to make her smile, with magic or poems. But the real reason why he would visit was because he thought she where utterly beautiful. He loved to see her sleepy chocolate eyes look at him and the way her brown skin looked against his pale skin. He loved to hold her petite hands as she rested. He loved to hold her slender figure as he helped her walk around to regain the strength in her legs. All those little traits made Loki coming to see her more. He was so thankful to have Ophine living with them...for he would see his new love everyday.

*Present day*

The warm sun was setting as Ophine walked back to the castle. As she headed toward her chambers to change she could hear the faint sound of yelling and arguing. She walked toward the thrown room and hid behind the pillars so she wouldn't get caught. She slowly looked from behind the pillar to see the quarrel.

"Loki enough I am done speaking on this subject and I don't wish to continue in this conversation." Odin says as his voice is growing angry.

"Father, all I ask is why Thor must have all the kingly training assignments. If I am to be king don't you think I should have at least some duties too!"

"LOKI ENOUGH! I AM DONE WITH YOU GET OUT OF MY SIGHT" Odin growls, making Ophine jump a bit. " I will see you at dinner." He continues.

Ohpine could hear a angred sigh come from Loki as she abruptly turns around to walk to his chambers.

*Later*

Ophine walked to the dining room quickly for she was already late and she knew she would get in trouble for being late....again. She was running a bit as she was trying to pin up her wild mane. She quickly turned the corner she bumped into someone. When she got up Ophine realized it was Sif.

"Oh Sif I'm sorry! Are you alright?" Ophine asked.

"Don't worry, you did no harm." She replies with a small smile as she gets up and lends Ophine her strong hand.

"Do you need help?" Sif asked as she picks up a hair pin from the floor. Ophine nods with a slight chuckle. Sif has been like a sister to Ophine. Sif taught her how to fight and how to be strong, but also to be a lady and kind. She was also a big help to her when she was learning the customs of royalty.

As Sif pinned the last part of Ophines hair up Thor and Loki came walking down the corridor.

"Well, no wonder why you are late, you two are playing dress up" Thor says jokingly.

"Oh bother, you two are just as late, so keep quite" Sif say, " Anyway,I should be off, bye Ophine, bye boys" Sif continued as she walked away with a laugh.

"We should get going, we don't want to feel the awful rath of father" Thor says in a silly scary voice. Ophine notice Loki's jaw clench as he says through gritted teeth. "Yes, we surely don't want that do we"

Thor laughs in oblivion to Loki's anger and walks ahead. Ophine turns to Loki and grasps his hand, giving it a small squeeze.

"Are you okay?" She ask, perfectly aware that he is mad.

" I just- Father- He just-" he sighs "I'm fine, my dear..don't- don't freat over me..." he said as he looked away from her.

Ophine was inclined to say more for her heart ached at the sight of her friend being angry, but they where already late.

*Dinner*

"And so I ran up to him and as The Warriors Three distracted him I had my Mijor and I struck the ground. He collapsed right over onto his own sword and died in a instant! It was amazing!" Thor said, telling his story of his day.

Odin commended Thor and praised him for his achievement.

" Now Thor, I am proud of you and what you had done today, but you know I hate the talk of death and dying at the table"

At that remark, Ophine got the same strange but satisfying feeling she had when she was ill and had the visions of Death. But she brushed it off.

"Loki, how was your walk with Ophine?" Frigga said trying to bring a lighter subject to the table.

Loki looked up from his plate and looked into Ophines eyes and a
small smirk appeared.

"I had a wonderful time, we talked about poems and I gave her a little speach and - and I just had a wonderful time" he said the last part in the in dreamy whisper. But his moment was cut short.

"Poems.....POEMS LOKI! Is that all you do all day? Talk about poems and give speaches about friendship?" Odin yelled. Loki flentched a bit and clenched his jaw.

"Well I had nothing else to do-"

"WELL YOU COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN TALKING ABOUT THAT! WASTING YOUR TIME WITH WOMAN WHEN YOU COULD BE DOING OTHER THINGS" Odin interrupted.

"Odin, dear lower your voice" Frigga said in a low harsh voice.

"WELL I CANT HELP IT! MY SON DOES NOTHING BUT BE IN THE GARDENS AND READ SONNETS WITH YOU!" Odin yells as he looks at Ophine in annoyance.

"FATHER DO NOT GET HER INVOLVED! IT IS NOT HER FAULT THAT I HAVE NOTHING TO DO! I HAVE APSOLUTLY NO RESPONSIBILITY HERE, THEY ALL GO TO THOR!

"Brother that is not true" Thor says trying to calm him down.

Ophine kept her head down. She had learnd that though she is like a sister and daughter to the family, she knows when not to get involved.

"stay out of this Thor!" Loki snarled. Ophine jumped a bit at the sight of loki, he looked so angry and frightening.

"DONT INVOLE YOUR BROTHER IN THIS LOKI" Odin yells.

"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS SPARE THOR FATHER! AM I NOTHING MORE THAN YOUR LITTLE WIPPING BOY? I HAVE HAD ENOUGH" Loki says as he abruptly pushes his chair away from the table and he walks away.

"When will that boy understand-" Odin was cut off by Ophine walking away from the table to go after Loki.

"Loki! Loki please" She yelled. Loki slowed down to a stop at Ophines command and turned around angrely.

"What! Can't I be in isolation for a moment" He coldly hisses. He then realizes her sudden change of expression and walks up to her, grabbing her hands.

"Im sorry, my love...its just..he- he-" he stutters, trying to find the words to say.

"Shhh I know I know" she says. She puts his medium length hair behind his ear and looks into his emerald eyes that are now glassy with tears.

"Ophine, I cant stand him. He is always choosing Thor, aslways favoring Thor..its always...Thor" he says as his voice quivers.

"Oh Loki, dear its alright." she says as she embraces him into a hug. Soon be begins to wimpers a bit. "Loki I'm here...im here" she whispers.

"See, this is what I mean, you are always there for me. You are her for me when I'm sad, I'm angry, and you lend me a shoulder to cry on.....thank you" he says, muffled into her hair.

"You are my best friend, it is almost a must for me to be here for you." Ophine replied.

"Well thank you" he said. And in a inaudible whisper, he says "And I love you Ophine"
