Your eyes fluttered open slowly, your legs curled around the thin sheets, scrunching your toes together as you tuned your body on its side, your arms loosely laid on a warm smooth surface, your opened your eyes fully and saw Loki.

His head was turned away from you, his eyes closed as he inhaled softly, his chest rising and falling.

You never thought this would happen, just a year ago, he was attempting to rule New York and possibly the whole world, you were possibly on this day a year ago, standing on Stark tower, trying to talk to the God as he was in madness, the aliens coming through the portal from another realm, his golden armor, and scepter..

'You really are a beauty, aye?' He tapped in the glass of your cage, pressing his bare hand against it, he knew you could hear him, his eyes stared at you as he stood still.

'You'd be prettier if you weren't dying..' He snorted with laughter, tapping louder against the glass, your eyes flickered up to him.

You breathed out shakily, swallowing thickly as you tried not to think about it.

"Are you okay?" Loki was turned around, his head gently directed at you, he moved his arm and his fingers stroked your face softly.

"I'm alright." You told him, part of it was the truth, you turned around on your side your arm draped round his torso, hugging onto him.

"Darling, there's been some problems late last night, due to intruders that have somehow got into Asgard.." He kissed your forehead trying to keep you calm.

You sat up quickly.

"Intruders?" No. This couldn't be happening, it was the shield and they were coming back to get you.

Loki sat up too, looking down to meet your eyes.

"Foreign uninvited guests.." he rephrased, but he knew exactly who they were.

They were from Earth, and they were from the shield.

"How- how did Heimdal let them pass?" You asked getting up of the bed, Loki did the same coming over to you, walking round the bed to get to you.

"They were already here when he had warned us, some things can slip by." He explained rubbing her shoulders.

"It's nothing really."

"Nothing? What if they are the shield, what if they take me back?" You worried more, your insides shaking.

"I'm afraid you are instructed to stay in the palace as we deal with this.. problem." Loki sighed, his eyes flickering around her face.

He wasn't told to keep Y/n inside, he didn't want her to be hurt or taken, he couldn't risk it.

You looked down to your bare feet, "When are you leaving?"

"This morning, i'll be gone for the whole day."

You nodded, the pit in your stomach aching as you worried.

Loki hands intwined with yours, his fingers wrapping round yours as he squeezed gently.

"I will be back," He reassured you, you could feel his eyes stare.

"i ugh, do need helping getting in my armour.." he chuckled which made you smile and laugh too, you looked up to him and his eyebrow was raised.

He leaned in putting his hands on the side of your neck, kissing you gently, you kissed him back but before you could wrap your arms around his bare neck he pulled away, walking to his armoury wardrobe.

He smirked with a chuckle.

"You little tease." You grinned and went after him.

———

"Don't drop it." He told you as you carried over his horned signature helmet, the weight made you hold it with two hands.

You stopped in front of him, the rest of his armour was fixed to him, you looked down at his helmet, then grinned as you placed it on your head.
It was obviously well oversized and the widows peak covered you eyes.

"Moooo." You mimicked a cow whilst holding the helmet to your head so it wouldn't slip off.

You heard Loki laugh loudly as he leaned in and tapped the helmet with his finger, you peered your eyes out and he snatched it off tour head.

"Hey!" You complained with a laugh, it was getting a bit heavy to wear.

He held it by one of the horns easily with one hand and raised an eyebrow at you whilst he smirked.

"I really don't know how you can wear that, it's so heavy." You laughed fixing your hair.

Loki stood up, your eyes flickered round his body admiring the armour he wore gracefully, then you remembered he was leaving.

"Be careful." You were serious now, sincere and genuine, you fiddled with your fingers as you walked over to him, wrapping your arms round his torso and leaning your head against his chest, feeling the cold slip of golden metal.

"This is like child's play, it'll be fine.." He kissed your head, referring to what he was doing.

You looked up to him, his features making you think why was he with you? He was so attractive it dumbfounded you.

Loki went to the door and looked back, breathing in and thinking, like he had forgot what he was going to say.

"Stay in the palace, Y/n, please." He reminded you.

"I will see you soon my dear."

As soon as he walked out you ran over to the door peeking your head out as you watched him walk down the hall.
Not long later you saw Thor join him, walking next to him.

"Brother." Thor nodded as he greeted him, he wore his armour holding his hammer.

"Thor." Loki had nodded back neutrally, and they walked together out of your sight.

You went back into Loki chamber, sitting on the unmade bed as you thought.
You sat in his bed thinking, you had stayed there for about an hour, you had looked round his chamber, seeing his clothes and armour..

You couldn't go after them.
Loki had told you to stay in the palace until he gets back.

You couldn't leave?
Could you?
