Illuminated.(A Loki Love Story)

Illuminated~ End

~8 Months Later~
Loki:

I stood on the sidelines, near a few gold drapes and watched as Aorabelle conversed with her Family. Tony start and Steve Rodgers sat and enjoyed ale. Agent Romanoff and Barton stood, Hand in hand and awed at the décor. And Bruce Banner had even showed his face; Amazing.

‘’Loki.’’ A voice cooed, followed by another tiny coo. I turned to face my mother, My infant in her arms. ‘’Why are you not over there, with your intended?’’ She asked with an eyebrow raised. ‘’You are no longer a Traitor of Asgard, And she is no longer your Prisoner.’’ She would jump off and say something wise before I’d even thought of a response.

‘’I know. Mother.’’ I answered. I looked down at Nari, his bright grey eyes closed a little when he yawned then they focused themselves on me and he smiled, a sweet little closed mouth smile. ‘’He’s just woken up from a little nap, And now he’s off to see mommy, yes he is.’’ She cooed and fussed over the baby and gave me a half hearted curtsy before waltzing off. I looked after her as Mara, Aorabelle’s mother, Reached out for him, her eyes wide. Siti and Aorabelle’s brother crowded around with smiles on their faces. Aorabelle’s eyes glanced around the room taking in the pre wedding décor. The shifted, this way, and that way, and finally, they rested on me. Oh. Busted. She waved me forward to her, and at first I refused. But eventually Gave in.~

~Aorabelle~

‘’You need not be nervous.’’ He said again, I glared up at him and cocked an eyebrow. ‘’Thor, How many people have you given away at weddings?’’ I asked him. He looked like he was thinking it over, but he frowned and shrugged. ‘’None, But It can’t be that nerve wracking.’’ I chuckled nervously, Maybe for him it wasn’t that hard.

 But My family, The Avengers and Half of Asgard itself was out there waiting to see me walk down the isle in what these gods called a wedding dress. I heard an odd, yet beautiful instrument followed by a few pan flutes strike up a small tune that signaled that it was time for me to make my entrance. I grabbed what Thor called his arm watched as two guards pulled open the double doors. I recited my vows and mantra in my head; 1…2…. You’re almost there girlie. Natasha romanoff looked gorgeous in blue, she looked like a mermaid the way her hair was pulled back, she’d let it grow out. And she held hands with Clint. Or, Hawke eye.

My mother held Nari in her arms, he was sleeping, of course. It almost made me giggle.~~~

‘’His eyes.’’ Loki had started. ‘’His eyes are following you around the room.’’ I had tilted my head and looked down at Nari in his bassinet. He was in fact, staring at me. I walked over to him and picked him up. He gurgled happily and I kissed him on the nose. ‘’Isn’t that what babies do, sleep, eat, and wait for mommy to entertain them?’’ I asked as I bounced him on one hip. Loki turned to look at us and he smiled proudly. ‘’He’s like you.’’ He said softly. ‘’Quiet?’’ That made Loki erupt in laughter, ‘’You and I both know that you are not the quietest dove in the nest. I meant beautiful.’’ I bit my inner cheek and looked back at Nari, who had fallen asleep. ‘’He’s quiet though. If he’s anything like you he won’t be quiet for long.’’ ~~~~~~

I climbed the steps to where Odin and Loki stood. Loki’s hair was pushed back, not like it usually was, there was a small ponytail resting on his shoulder. ‘’You look so lovely.’’ He whispered to me. I felt my cheeks go hot and my knees go week. We both turned to Odin as he prepared himself to make a speech.

‘’I cannot tell you how Proud I am, Of You, Loki. You’ve raised total chaos and even helped destroy my kingdom, But. You’ve redeemed yourself.’’ Loki’s grip on my hand tightened and I looked up at him from my eyelashes. He didn’t look at me. I could see that this was all he’d wanted in life, To be recognized by his father. Not as a monster, not as a Jotun or even as Asgardian. But his son. The thought of Loki’s happiness brought tears to my eyes, and I let them slide down my cheek as I felt two hands cradle my face.

My eyes found Loki’s and we both smiled at each other at the same time. Odin started to recite What I assumed was another speech, this time about binding us together as one. I heard murmurs, Ones from people who thought they were being oh so very quiet. I also heard sniffling, and without looking, I could tell it was from my own mother, Or maybe it was Frigga’s. I was never really an emotional person, the year my dad died and the year I was kidnapped are two different stories; that was way before I even knew how to cope with myself. But now, My face was wet from the tears that were sliding down it and I started crying even more after my ‘Always’ I let out an airy, happy gasp as my lips connected with his and I felt his arms wrap around my waist. The whole room erupted into cheers, It felt like Thor was even closer to me than I thought because his voice was one of the main ones I head, I looked out at the people I cared about, And Laughed; Nari, Was still asleep.

-Loki-
‘’Nari, Slow down You’ll fall again.’’ Aorabelle called after the boy, who simply looked back and smiled cockily at her. ‘’I won’t fall again Mama, I’m as careful as you.’’ But he pouted and pranced back to her in an obedient manner. ‘’Aella, look. Don’t you want to get your feet wet?’’ I asked the girl who, at the moment, was clinging to my wife. She looked over at me, Tendrils of brown hair falling into her forest green eyes, and shook her head. ‘’Aella is such a baby, she doesn’t want to do anything.’’ Nari teased and Aella buried her face in Aorabelle’s hair. ‘’She’ll get bigger, and stronger.’’ I corrected, ‘’And you two will fight over a throne, and try and take over earth.’’ I lightly pinched my wife in her side, and she giggled. ‘’Not funny.’’ I scolded lightly. ‘’Father, what is Mama talking about.’’ Aorabelle balanced Our daughter on her hip and grabbed my hand with her free one. ‘’Nothing, She was just making a half hearted joke. Now, go out there and see if you can find any pretty seashells.’’ And he did. I looked over at my fair haired maiden and flashed her a wicked grin. ‘’I will Get you for that comment.’’ I warned. She chuckled and winked. ‘’Challenged accepted. I’ll be waiting.’’ ‘’Time waits for no one, my dear.’’ ''Do you want to waste some time?'' I squezed her hand and smiled again. ''Maybe tonight.'
