Villains Love Poetry Too

You both arrived in the dining area where Odin sat proudly at the head of the table already partially done with his breakfast. "Good morning." You said to him with a bow,to which he nodded as Loki took a seat at the opposing end. You took a seat in the middle and grabbed a toasted slice of bread and spread a thin layer of butter as you watched the leader of Asgard stare down Loki. "So Odin.." you attempted to break his gaze "any word from Thor? I know he just left. But I was hoping it would be soon." The plan worked and Odin looked over at you with a look of disappointment "no. I'm afraid not my dear." His voice filled with disdain. "You shouldn't worry Odin, I'm sure your son won't fail you" Loki muttered under his breath "enough." You said to him as you shot a glare his way. Causing him to retract into himself and pick at his breakfast. "I shall leave you to deal with Frigas experimental mess (Y/N) have a good morning, I shall see you at lunch " Odin removed himself quietly from the table and walked out. "You know... Your comments aren't exactly needed. Breakfast was going fine until you had to be snarky " you scolded the God of mischief. He looked up at you apologetically before nodding on acknowledgment "perhaps you are correct, but looking at him causes my blood to boil in a rage you could never possibly begin to understand. " he kept looking down at his food while you stared at him. After you both finished eating Loki wanted to go to his room to read "did you not read enough in prison?' You teased "I actually didn't get to finish the book I was reading so I'm choosing to now. You are more when welcome to join me." He offered as he stuck his hand out for you to hold. You reluctantly grabbed it and he laced your fingers within his. "Let me read something to you.." he said in his oddly smooth tone. You nodded in anticipation as you both walked hand in hand towards his room again.  You both arrived in his room and  he reached for a book that read ' midgardian poetry' which caused you to raise your brow in a curious manner. "You have poetry from earth?" You asked as you eyed the book. "Your poets are something that Gods couldn't even begin to compete with. " Loki smiled an innocent smile as he opened the book. "E. E. Cummings is one of my favorites thus far, I shall read I this one

You watched him as he read the poem so passionately. "Loki i had no idea that you had such a soft side..." He smirked at you before closing the book. "There's more than just a monster behind this exterior my love."
