Affection 2

Part 9

Luna walked briskly after her husband as she heard his door close with a huge ‘BLAM’. As she finally reached his door, she pressed her ear against the door; the sound of Loki’s crying came from the other side and just hearing it made Luna’s heart sink.

Was it the wrong idea to come here…?

She knocked hesitantly, biting her lip from being so nervous.

“Go. Away.” Loki roared through the door. It sounded like he was crying. Luna’s head sunk from his rage as she pouted.

“Aww, sweetheart, don’t be like that.”

Silence.

She put her hand on the door longingly. “Please, baby, open the door…” Luna cooed affectionately.

It only took a couple of seconds before she heard the door unlock with magic; the door opened to show a crying Loki curled up into a ball. It reminded Luna of the year when he found out what he really was, always going back into a state of tears and she’d have to comfort him. She closed the door quietly and gracefully walked towards him.

Loki just sobbed as Luna curled up to next to him, wrapping her arms around his shaking form. His head rested on her chest, the slow rise and fall of it and her warm skin calmed him down a bit; he closed his eyes as he listened to the soft thumps of her beautiful heart. There they lied; in the soft warm embrace in silence.

The loving touch of his wife’s hand stroking his hair was what Loki needed to feel better. He wrapped his arms around her waist; nothing needed to be said. All they needed to convey their feelings was just touch. No words.

The silence between the couple was soothing.

Nothing was awkward.

And the air wasn’t tense.

It was just simply…bliss for the moment.

Luna and Loki felt as if it was just the two of them in all the nine realms.

But, someone had to break the silence.

Luna sighed. “Do you think it was a bad idea to come here?”

“No,” Loki sighed. He looked up at her with teary and swollen green eyes. Luna wiped his tears away with the swipe of her thumbs, and he smiled at her.

“No. I think it was actually nice to see everyone –excluding Odin. It was nice to let Mother see Solene too.” He moved his hand to stroke Luna’s arm.

“You can tell she’s in love with Sol. Mother’s been holding her ever since you gave the baby to her.”

Luna laughed. “Yeah, she reminded me of my grandma and I; thick as thieves.”

Loki nodded and chuckled as he imagined Luna as a baby being coddled by her grandmother.

“How cute…”

“Oh shut up,” Luna jokingly bopped him on the head. They both laughed and then Loki looked back up at her and gave her a soft kiss on the lips.

Luna pouted. “So, you’re not mad at me?”

Loki’s eyes widen. “No! Gods no, why would you think that, Luna?”

His darling wife blinked. “Well, because I got the idea for us to come here and for you to talk to your father and now look at you: your eyes are swollen, you’re angry, and you’re incredibly sad.”

Loki shook his head rapidly. “No, Luna. I chose to take part in this as much as you did.” He stroked Luna’s cheek affectionately. “Luna, darling, I could never get angry at you. I love you incredibly too much to let a little fight –whether it’s us or my father- get in the way of what we have together. You mean entirely too much to me.

A smile curled on Luna’s face as she ran a loving hand through his thick hair, which made Loki smile.

“What is it, Luna?” What are you smiling about?”

She bit her lip, trying to hold back a laugh which made her look ridiculously adorable. “You said ‘my father’…you didn’t say Odin like you usually do when you talk about him.”

Loki didn’t notice that he said it, actually. He looked up at his wife with big eyes.

“Maybe what you said finally rang true to me; I may not have to like Odin, but I can respect him for what he did for me.”

Luna chuckled, kissed him on the forehead, and squeezed him softly.

The dashing God of Mischief purred and pressed his lips softly in Luna’s cleavage, kissing each breast individually and intimately; it sent a chill up Luna’s spine each time, but she wasn’t in the mood for that at the moment.

Luna giggled as Loki fondled her up her dress; she was trying extremely hard to resist. She caught his hand before he actually touched something that set her off and they wouldn’t be able to stop.

“Sorry, honey. Not tonight.” Her husband pouted, placing his hand on her bottom.

“Why, darling?” he whined. Loki nuzzled his face in her breasts again.

“Because I just want to comfort you,” Luna said softly.

“But this is comforting me, love.” He punctuated his statement with a gentle squeeze.

Luna stifled a moan at his hand and bit her lip as she said, “How about we just kiss, hmm?” Luna gave Loki a sweet smile.

“Is that comforting enough for you, darling?”

Loki chuckled as he nodded and rolled his eyes. “I guess it could suffice for now.” He leaned in to kiss his wife’s soft lips until there was a lovely slender finger placed on his.

“Wait, why did you stop me?” he asked.

“You need to make a deal first.”

“Oh?” Loki said, an eyebrow rose in amusement. “What sort of deal?”

“You have to promise that you’ll take your two favorite girls out on the town because Asgard is too beautiful of a place to pass up.”

Loki smiled happily kissing Luna on the nose and lips.

“It’s a deal, darling.”
