My Sweet Flame

Chapter 48. Kinda Like Snow White...Except Not Really

Y/N P.o.V.

My eyes gently fluttered open to small flickering lights around the Wreck Room. Soon, I realized they were candles.

Romantic....WAIT!! Who-

I then realized that the couch was incredibly warm.

I looked down, seeing that I was lying on top of Loki. His arms were wrapped protectively around me, my legs tangled with his.

When did he get here?!?! How long have I been asleep?

I nuzzled my head into his chest, taking comfort in the smell and embrace I had missed for so long. I glanced around the room as my head rose and fell with his chest. After a few minutes of lying in the dim, comforting surroundings, I pulled the blanket up a bit more over me as I looked to the kitchen window. The sun was just beginning to rise. Excited, I shook him a bit.

"Loki!" I whispered. "Loki!" I shook him again, "Loki!!"

His breath hitched, and his breathing pattern changed, signaling that he was waking up. His grip on me loosened, then tightened when his eyes began to open. Growing more excited by the minute, I crawled up a bit so that my head was above his, smiling as my hair drooped from my inside shoulder.

"Morning sunshine!" I whispered.

He smiled up at me, just like he used to when he awoke.

"Good Morning, Cupcake." He spoke groggily. Loki glanced over at the window, "Someone's up early."

I jumped off of him, catching his hand and pulling him up as I shed myself of the soft cardigan.

"Come on or we'll miss it!" I said excitedly.

"Miss what?" He yawned.

"Just come on sleepyhead."

"Will I need my," He yawned again, "armor?"

"No, just shh." I said quickly, leading him to the window, "Follow me, Babe."

"If we're leaving, couldn't we just used the door?"

"No! Someone will see us!"

I popped open the latch and landed silently on the misty ground outside, motioning for him to follow. As he landed, I grabbed his hand and pulled him along through the dark courtyard. I turned down one of the paths and practically ran to the trees.

"Where are we going, Y/N?" Loki asked, now mostly awake and functional.

"You'll see."

"I can't see, Love. It's dark."

"Well I can. I'll lead you there."

The only reason that I could see was because of my force sensibilities. I gripped his hand tighter and ran down the petal-covered path through the trees.

"Tree." I warned.

"Wher-Augh!" Suddenly, His hand wouldn't pull, and there was a small smacking noise, "I think I found it."

I snickered, "Come on!"

Soon we reached the tree I wanted.

"Up." I pointed.

Loki gripped my waist, pulling me to him.

"Why are we going up to your room, Y/N?" He smirked, "Privacy? Comfortability?

"No, actually I was going to show you something." I shoved him playfully towards the tree. "Go. Up."
