Long And Lost (Book II)

Ch.14: I never thought that I'd be facing a sea that's bluer than the tide

Somewhere in the back of their minds, Loki and Sigyn knew Strange had given them some time limit. But time didn't matter while they were tangled into each other. At least Strange had stopped eavesdropping on them after round one. Sigyn nearly had a giggle fit while imagining his reaction to realizing he had made a big mistake, especially after Loki decided they should put on a show.
Still, there weren't words to be heard. Whatever conversation they could have it inside their heads, if they wanted. With 300 years to make up for, they weren't exactly thinking straight.

Sigyn rolled to her back, trying to catch her breath, while Loki snuggled on her shoulder by her side.

"Tell me this wasn't a dream." He said hoarsely.

"It wasn't." She answered with a smile. "It was very real and very awesome."

Loki propped himself on his elbow and looked at her. Sigyn returned the stare a little worried, sensing his troubles. His fears for Asgard, for Hela, for Thor... Thanos .

"We'll get through it."

"How can you be so sure?" He asked. His hand lazily drawing patterns on her belly.

"I have to believe it." She said, stroking the edge of his face. "After all we've been through, I have to believe we deserve to be happy."

"It might not be that simple."

"It won't, but we will find a way." Sigyn bit her lip. "I know you don't want to leave, but you have to. Go back to Sakaar, wait for Thor and go back to Asgard. Right now, getting that stone here before Thanos finds you is the best chance we have."

"How do you know Thor will be there?"

She shrugged. "Just a hunch." Loki knew to trust her intuition. "Whatever happens from now on, we will get through it, together. As we're meant to be." Sigyn took Loki's hand and placed it her lower belly. "And after that-- we could even try again..." She added, with a little smile.

"No." Loki said sternly, trying to get his hand back. Sigyn didn't let him. "We got lucky last time. This time--"

" I know and I don't care." She reassured him, squeezing his hand.

Loki looked terrified. " You know? " He started struggling to get free from her grasp, but Sigyn straddled him and pinned his hands to the bed until he stopped wiggling. "How?"

Sigyn sat on his lap and placed her hand on his chest. Loki closed his eyes.

He was in Odin and Frigga's chambers. Sigyn was there too. He correctly guessed this was when she left him on the cave. He could see the scars on her hands and her torn clothes. It made him flinch to remember everything that had happened before that.

Frigga took Sigyn's hands "That's snake poison." She muttered.

Loki watched Frigga mouth a spell that revealed Sigyn's bond on her wrist.

"How? When? How did you convince him?" Frigga said, absolutely confused.

Sigyn rolled her eyes. "It was his idea, and we got bound right after we got married." She said, snatching her hand back from the queen's grasp. "But of course that's how low you'd think of him. He's not even your son, is he?"

Loki didn't notice how Odin shifted uncomfortably on his chair. He was staring at the Sigyn from the memory blankly. "What makes you say that?"

Sigyn displayed her glowing wrist to the king. "We're bound. I can feel the glamouring spell inside of him."

"Does he know?" Frigga muttered, while tears filled her eyes. Loki looked at his mother sadly.
