It was New Years morning, and you were still laying in Loki's arms, enjoying your slumber. That is until, you are woken up by the throbbing hangover that had been brought on by all of the liquor you had drank the night before. You slowly flutter your eyes open, and then immediately close them again, bring your hands up to your head, wincing softly in discomfort. Loki, feeling your movements, awakens to see you now pinching the bridge of your nose, a small smirk forming on his lips.

"Oh my dear, are all of those tequila shots coming back to bite you," he says in derision.

"Loki, please I'm not feeling well right now," you whine, burying your face into his chest.

"I'm sorry sweetheart," Loki responds apologetically, " how about I take care of you for the day?"

"That would be great actually," you reply with a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'll be right back my dear," Loki assures you, gently moving you over to your side of the bed and then getting up to leave the room.

He goes into the kitchen and then begins to put a pot of coffee on. While wait for the coffee to brew, he goes into the washroom and gets a painkiller out of the medicine cabinet, then returning to the kitchen afterwards. Shortly after that, the coffee has finished brewing and then he begins to pour some into a cup for you. While he's doing this, Thor walks into the kitchen for his first helping of Pop Tarts of the day.

"Ah, good morning brother," he cheerfully greets Loki, " what are you doing," he asks noticing Loki put some bread into the toaster and then place the pill and cup onto a serving tray.

"If you must know, (Y/N) is very hungover and I'd be most appreciative if you and everyone else would keep the noise level to a minimum, as would she I presume," Loki explains to his brother, while pulling the toast out of the toaster and then buttering it, putting it on a plate afterwards and then setting it down onto the tray.

"Of course Loki, I'll let everyone know," Thor cooperates, giving Loki a soft smile.

Loki nods as if to say thank you, and then picks up the tray and making his way back to his room.

"Hello sunshine," Loki coos as he enters the room, "I brought you a few things that I hear are good remedies for a hangover," he states, setting the tray down on his bedside table closest to you.

"Oh thank you Loki," you groan softly, with a hint of relief, as you slowly pull yourself up from your laying down position you previously held.

Loki gives you a small smile, and then sits down beside you on the bed, handing you the plate of toast. You take it into your hands and set it down on your lap, then pick up a piece of toast and take a few small bites out of it. Loki then hands you the pill and cup of coffee, as you take them into your hands and swallow the pill down, then returning to nibble on the toast some more.

"So, how did you enjoy last night," Loki smirks at you, as you go between the toast and coffee that Loki had brought you.

"You were absolutely incredible," you smile to him, looking into his eyes, " I really did enjoy our time together," you sincerely say, putting the now empty plate back onto the tray.

"I'm glad to hear that my dear," Loki purrs, taking your hand into his, and then bringing it up to his lips, pressing a soft kiss onto your knuckle.

You begin to blush violently at his action, and then finish up the last few drops of coffee, placing the cup back down onto the tray. Loki then crawls over top of you, and lays down beside you. He places an arm around your waist, pulling you closer to him and begins to softly kiss you. After a moment, he slowly pulls away from the kiss, and looks lovingly into your eyes.

"Perhaps we should go out on a date sometime soon," Loki rasps, smirking softly at you, " would you like to join me for dinner and a movie afterwards?"

"Yes I'd love to," you smile at him, cupping his cheeks in your hands, and then placing a sweet kiss on his lips.

You rest your head in the crook of his neck and then Loki covers the two of you up with the covers, keeping you close to his body.

"Are you feeling any better my dear," Loki asks you, concern evident in his tone, as he gently rubs your arm with his hand.

"A little bit," you respond, " thank you for taking care of me Loki," you say, looking up at him and then nuzzling back into him.

"Of course sweetheart," he sweetly responds, " is there anything else I could get for you?"

You're about to answer him, when all of a sudden, you feel your stomach begin to get rather queasy, causing to you rush out of the room and into the nearest bathroom. You get there just in time, as you hunch over the toilet and begin to hurl into it. Loki, hearing your gagging sounds, comes into the bathroom and holds your hair back out of the way, along with gently rubbing your back.

After what seemed like forever, you finally finish up and then get yourself cleaned up. As you move to turn yourself around, you stop your movements, beginning to feel as if the entire room is spinning.

"Are you alright," Loki asks with concern, as he moves closer to you, placing his hands on your hips.

"Just a little dizzy that's all," you reassuringly respond.

Loki suddenly, without warning, sweeps you up off of your feet and carries you back into his room, gently setting you back down onto the bed. He fluffs up the pillows for you, and then covers you up as you lay your head down. He then crawls into bed beside you, and snuggles up close to you, wrapping his arms around you.

"Try to get some rest my dear," he softly says, gently brushing his fingers through your hair.

As he continues to do this, you slowly drift off into a deep sleep, with Loki still holding you in his embrace. He's about to get some rest himself, when there's a soft knock on the door, causing him to let out a low sigh.

"Yes?" Loki calls out as quietly as possible.

"I thought I'd bring you and Lady (Y/N) some of the New Years dinner that Steve and Bucky had prepared," Thor whispers, as he enters the room, setting the two plates of food onto the tray on the beside table.

"Thank you," Loki murmurs, looking up at his brother.

Thor softly nods and then makes his leave, carefully closing the door behind him, as to not awaken you. Loki then lays down himself, and then falls into a light slumber, not wanting to fall asleep too deeply should you awaken and need something.

You end up resting for just over an hour, and then awaken to see Loki smiling softly at you, having woken up himself just a few minutes before you.

"Do you think you'll be okay to eat a few bites?" Loki asks, gesturing to the plates of food beside you.

"I can certainly try," you respond, picking up the plates and passing one to Loki.

You both enjoy the meal together, and then set the plates aside. Loki then reaches over to the other bedside table and picks up his book off of it, wrapping his arm around you as you snuggle into him, resting your head on his chest. He opens up the book and begins to softly read aloud to you.

As he continues to read, you slowly fall asleep on him again, and Loki closes the book shut, smiling down at your sleeping form. He carefully repositions the two of you, not wanting to wake you, and then entangles your legs with his to pull you closer. He keeps you in his embrace as he presses a gentle kiss to your forehead and moving your hair away from your face. He ends up holding you well into the night, and stays awake for awhile to make sure that you're okay. He decides to use some of his magic on you, casting a spell to lift you of the discomfort, and helping you to have a more peaceful slumber.

"Feel better soon my sweet girl," he whispers to you, deciding to get some rest for awhile, closing his eyes and falling into a peaceful slumber, keeping you in his embrace.
