ARIA'S P.O.V

I feel refreshed as I get out of the shower (I've got the hang of it now)

Why was Loki being so weird earlier? he's probably just upset about what's going on, I still wish there was someting I could do to make him feel better.

I put on a long comfortable robe and leave the bathroom, looking for something to wear in my chest of draws. As I put on a green vest and some leggings (comfy clothes) I can feel Loki's eyes burning into the back of my head.

"Aria" Loki starts, breaking the silence

I turn around "yes Loki?"

"Tomorrow i'm going to Odin and I'm telling him that I know he cheated on mother, I'm telling him that I met you but I'm also telling him that I sent you on your way, which means you will not leave this room without my permission. do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Loki" I say ashamed at that I didn't stand up for myself, I was mentally slapping myself round the face.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Stay there" Loki tells me as he sees me getting up.

He opens the door and two guards come in with a bed frame, the next two guards come in with a mattress, then an elderly woman with a kind face comes in with pillows and blankets.

When loki dismisses them I ask

"My bed?"

Loki nods.

"Why can't I sleep in yours? I did last night" I wonder

"I did a few things last night that won't happen again, and you sleeping in my bed was just one of them.

I blush thinking of last night.

"Are you hungry?" he asks

I shake my head

"Good, now get to bed, in the morning after talking with Odin I'm meeting an old friend I'll be gone for most of the day, lunch will be delivered at noon and I'll hopefully be home for dinner, once again you're allowed on the balcony, I'm going down for dinner, don't wait up" and with that he'd turned off the light and he left.

It was late but the light of the Asgardian moon shines through the balcony doors giving me enough room to reach the bed ok, at least it was comfy.

I wonder what made Loki have a change of heart, I'm too tired to think about that now.

I'm not sure how long it took me but I drifted off into a deep sleep.

LOKI'S P.O.V

As I walk back into my chambers I see her, laying in her bed, so beautiful, I just want to pick her up and place her in my bed, next to me, but I know I mustn't.

As I take off my armour I think of Elena, she's much more my type, blonde, blue eyes and we had a lot of fun. I wonder if she's still the same Elena I knew two years ago, I really hope so.

I lie in bed wishing for the comfort of Aria's body, (why do I feel like this? I've known Aria for two days) but I'm alone. And somehow I drift into a long lonely sleep.

I wake up to find Aria sound asleep, I just sit in my bed watching her for Odin knows how long, I only get up when I feel pins and needles starting to build in my foot.

I get up and get dressed in my usual armour and set off to have the conversation with Odin. Oh Gods I'm dreading this.

The last time I was outside Odin's chambers was when I met Aria only two days before.

I knock on the door and I hear Odin's voice "enter"

I walk in and say "Odin , I have to tell you something and I want to get it over with so please let me finish without interruptions.

Odin nods so I begin.

"Two days ago I was outside your chamber about to ask you a question about our upcoming war. I heard you and a lady's voice who sounded distressed, when she left I took her back to my chambers and she told me everything. I can't stand the sight of you, how dare you cheat on Frigga" I hesitate "mother, she's an amazing woman and you disgust me" I can feel the anger building up inside me.

Odin begins to talk "I'm sorry my son"

I interrupt "I'm not your son"

"Loki listen, it was a drunken mistake and if I could undo I would but I can't".

"Listen Odin, I want you to erase the memory of what I did in the Midgardian city of Manhattan from every Asgardian being, if you do so I'll keep this between us"

"Loki, I'll do as you wish, but this enchantment will not work on people who have cared for you before you're doings or who now care for you"

I nod, no one cares for me apart from Mother, so that's not an issue. As I turn to leave Odin calls me and says "I'm sorry".

I just scowl at him and walk out. I'm going back to my chambers to see if Aria's awake.
