Arranged Love

2

Astrid looked nervously at her father as she looked in mirror. It was her wedding day and she was nervous.
Freyr looked at his daughter.
"Don't look so nervous. You are a daughter of a King. Act like it."
Astrid nodded and breathed in. She put on a fake smile.
"Yes, father."
As Astrid walked out towards Loki she felt the gaze of her father. She smiled as she saw Loki in his new suit and his hair pulled back.
Loki's eyes widened as he saw Astrid. Her new dress and curly hair. He smiled as she stopped next to him. Odin nodded at two and started the ceremony.
"You may kiss the bride."
Loki looked down at Astrid, asking with his eyes if it's alright to kiss her. Astrid smiled gently, as if saying yes.
Loki leaned down and his lips touched Astrid's. It was just a peck but it had both of them wanting more.
It was now a celebration. Astrid jumped as Thor, Loki's brother, clapped his hand on Loki's shoulder.
"Congratulations, brother. She is perfect."
Astrid smiled gently at the tall, blonde man.
"I'm Astrid."
Thor grinned.
"Thor, my lady."
He kissed her hand and nodded at his brother, leaving the two alone.
Loki turned to Astrid and sighed.
"I'm sorry about him. My brother doesn't have manners."
Astrid smiled sweetly.
"It's fine. I don't mind him."
Loki nodded.
"We will have to share a room from now on."
Astrid looked up at him.
"It's perfectly fine, Loki. I know."
Loki nodded. He suddenly turned to Astrid.
"If you don't feel comfortable with me it's fine. I'll go to another room."
Astrid giggled gently.
"Loki, it's perfectly alright. Are you comfortable with me?"
Loki nodded fast.
"Of course. I just thought..."
Astrid took his hand.
"I'm alright."
Loki nodded again and smiled at his mother. Frigga walked to them and smiled at Astrid.
"Oh, darling, you are perfect for Loki."
Astrid smiled and took hold of Frigga's hand.
"Thank you. Your blessings means a lot to me."
Frigga smiled and squeezed her hand.
Astrid smiled after Frigga and sighed. She just wanted to lay down and rest.
