Affection 2

Part 2

The next day, Luna woke up at nine in the morning, refreshed from a night of intimate pleasures.

She wanted to give her husband a good morning kiss, but his sleeping body was not there at that moment. 

Instead, a handwritten note was in his place. Luna groaned as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

For wizards’ sake, Loki, she thought. As soon as her eyes became adjusted to her surroundings she read the note. It read: Sorry, I couldn’t be there to kiss you good morning, Luna, but I had some important business to attend to at the ministry.–Loki.

Luna groaned as she threw her head back against her pillow. Her last day before maternity leave, and this is how it turns out? Just great.

She had a job as an Auror at the Ministry of Magic, while Loki had a job as an officer in the department of magical games and sports. Loki loved Quidditch,but only liked it as a hobby, while Luna kept trying to tell him that he should do it as a career path since he was so good in school.

As for Luna and her job as an Auror; in her entire life, she’d never gone through such rigorous training from a job. Luna almost didn’t take the job because it practically drained her. Night after night, she came home, slumping through the door, always tired. Loki’s dominance always kicked in; telling her to quit and find an easier job, but she always reassured him that it was all worth it to her.

To rid the wizarding world of evil and unjust is all she wanted to do. And she would do it if she had to do it through sweat, blood, and tears.

Luna awaited the day for maternity leave, and now it was finally here. No matter how much she loved her job.

And finally, slowly but surely, she got up and did her normal routine for work: Get up, go to the kitchen and make breakfast,  take a shower, brush her teeth, put on clothes, and finally head out the door. But, today, there was already breakfast made waiting for her at the table for her; hot and steaming, just begging to be eaten.

As Luna got to the table and began to eat, she noticed another note: Surely, I couldn’t leave you to your own devices in the kitchen, could I? You need to stay safe, love.

Forthe rest of the breakfast, Luna couldn’t break the smirk on her face.

Obviously,Loki had something waiting for her atwork.

And Luna couldn’t wait to see what it was.

As Luna arrived at the Ministry, nothing seemed different. When she entered the building people were rushing past her as usual. They occasionally gave Luna the friendly “hello” or “Good morning”. Needless to say, she was starting to feel a bit discouraged as she went up in the tube-like elevator to her floor. Once she stepped out on the floor, there were barely any people on the floor. Eight to ten at the most.

Luna slowly walked around making sure that everything was just fine. Still she occasionally got the ‘good morning’ greetings.

Itwasn’t until she got to the main room offices that she screamed of delight.

“Surprise!”Every single one of her co-workers screamed. Behind the crowd there was a banner that read: ‘Happy Last Day!’ It was evident that it was handwritten, but thoughtful nonetheless.

Luna’s heart was racing. Almost all of her ministry friends were there, and of course, Loki was there too. His green eyes twinkling with joy.

Luna ran to him with a smile. “Jeez, Loki. What is all of this?” Loki wrapped his arms around her and said, “Well, I knew that your last day was today. So, I threw you a –how do the Midgardians say?- shindig.”

Luna gave him a long kiss which made the crowd go wild. Luna felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned around to see her good friend, Terra.

Terra had done quite well after graduating from Hogwarts. She was fascinated with the muggle world and worked in the Department of Discoveries of Muggle Inventions.Her most precious achievement for her was discovering Disney. Once she discovered the famed muggle company, she devoted all of her time into cataloging every single Disney movie in existence and made reports about every single one. Every single year she always got the “Muggle Discoveries Achievement” awards from the head of the department, Arthur Weasley.

Terra gave Luna a tight hug. “I sure am gonna miss you, Luna. You brought all the fun to the office here.”

Luna hugged her back just as tightly. “Oh, thanks, hun. Just come visit me in London whenever you want,” Luna smiled at her own statement, “I know you will, so why am I telling you?”

Terra nervously laughed as a faint shade of pink crossed her face. Since her family was in London, she had a tendency to visit Luna and Loki quite frequently.

“Ha.Yeah, well, just expect me when you have an owl at your door with carrying a letter saying ‘I”ll come ‘round your flat.” Terra and Luna laughed as Loki stood by just looking at Luna softly.

He couldn’t wait to have her in the house for four, long, long months. His dominance would surely be kicking in at anytime during those months.

Soon, after a couple of people came up to Luna and said how they’d miss her, Luna clapped her hands with a big smile on her face. “Well, Why don’t we cut this cake, everybody?!”

Before Loki got the knife, Luna gave him a big kiss on the cheek and whispered, “This was a fantastic way to end my last day of work and it was a very good present.Thank you, love.”

As Luna turned back around and began to cut the cake, he put his arms around her waist and whispered back, “You’re welcome, Luna.”
