You suddenly woke up to a knock at the door. Slowly your eyes adjusted to the darkness and your attention was drawn to where your hands laid. On top of Loki. You moved slightly as there was another knock at the door. "Loki? Wake up,"

"A few more minutes, darling," his voice was deep and groggy as he pulled you closer. You blushed crimson as you tried to get out his grip.

"Uh, Loki?" His eyes shot open as he realized.

"V-very sorry, Y/n," he too blushed as there was another knock at the door. "Yes?" The door opened and in came a woman.

"Sorry to disturb you my prince but the allmother has requested for you and Lady Y/n to join for supper,"

"Yes of course," with that she left. You avoided eye contact with the mischievous god as he stood up. "It seems that tea did you good," you looked at your wound and saw that it was healing well.

"Give me the recipe to that tea and we won't have a problem," you chuckle, Loki gets off the bed and stretched his hand out for you to take, you take his hand and get off the bed. Quickly, Loki transformed his clothing from the blood-stained ones to a new fresh set. "I should probably change too," you waved your hand and were changed into a green and gold dress.

"Wonderful choice of colours," you smile as he opens the door for you. You walked down the hall in comfortable silence reaching the dining hall quickly. Loki opens the door for you and follows behind you.

"Lovely for you to join us," Frigga says with a smile on her face, Thor snickers as Sif and the warriors three smirk. Odin just smiles before saying.

"Come, sit," he gestures to the two empty seats by Thor. You both hurry to the seats and look upon the meal prepared.

Considering you had already spent a while sleeping you left your room that night to take a stroll in the gardens. Exotic looking plants lined either side of the stone paths. Different colours and shapes intrigued you to explore more. The beauty of Asgard really showed at this time of night, the night sky shimmered with stars as you passed under. You had the rest of the week to spend here in this beautiful place, god how lucky were you? You started to think about what you would do... more research about your mother was a must, maybe tomorrow you'd do that... maybe even bonding with Loki? You had grown close and you had to admit you had the biggest crush on him!

"Why?" You sighed and looked around. In front of you was a hedge, oddly placed, you looked closer and saw that it was a layered bush that led somewhere. (If you don't know what I'm talking about I'm just thinking about that one part in the labyrinth where the stone walls layered each other to make it seem there was no other way out _—_ < like this) going through you see a secret garden, a tree stood center as candles circled it, roses of all colours grew out the hedges. Behind the tree, a wooden bench stood, next to it a pile of books, Midgard books.

"The Great Gatsby, Alice in Wonderland, through the looking glass..." why were they in Asgard?... you pick up the great Gatsby and sit down. Starting to read you fully indulge yourself in the book. Before you knew it the sun was slowly rising signaling for you to head back to your room.

Once you got back to your room you flopped on the bed. You decided to take a bath in the giant bathroom. Grabbing the great Gatsby you found in the garden you open it up to where you left. Slowly the water filled the tub, pouring the wonderful smelling soap in, bubbles filled it the rest of the way. You slipped off your dress and sunk into the water, you continued to read for the rest of the time.

After some time you drained the bath and got out. Drying yourself off you went into the closet and conjured yo some shorts and a top to wear since you didn't want to go out today. you flopped on your bed and continued to read. This was how you were gonna spend the day, and it was perfect.

Until it late in the afternoon, you moved around your room, currently, you were on your chair leaning back. "Y/n!" Loki suddenly burst through the door snickering. You fall backward hitting the floor with a thud.

"Ow..." you grunt as Loki rushes to your side and helps you up.

"Very sorry, darling," you had gotten used to Loki calling you Darling so you dismissed it. "You have to help me hide from Thor," you chuckle and agree, taking his hand you push him inside your closet.

"LOKI!" Thor's voice boomed from outside, he most likely was looking in Loki's room. "Y/n! Where is my brother?!" Thor had burst through the door as Loki had done just before causing you to jump.

"What? I don't know? Have you checked his room?" You acted innocent as Thor looked behind your bed.

"Yes, I was just there," Thor grunted and looked around once more

"Check the gardens, maybe he's there?" Thor nods and heads for the door. "Anyways what did he do this time?"

"He replaced my shampoo with Orloni blood!" You give Thor a questioning look, him realizing you don't know what they are. "Small creatures? Looks like a reptile?- Nevermind, I will see you at dinner, Lady Y/n" (they're the lizard things that starlord kicked in GotG)

"Just Y/n, Thor!" He corrects himself and heads out the door. "You can come out now!" You shout to your closet. No reply. You sigh and walk into the dark closet looking around. Nothing. "Loki?" You shrug thinking he must have teleported you turn around and were met with a pair of lips. You were in shock to see Loki kissing you, again, but immediately sunk into the kiss, wrapping your arms around his neck. He pulled away before smirking.

"Thank you for helping me, darling," he then walks out of the closet and out your bedroom door after looking both ways. To be frank, you were gobsmacked. He had kissed you again? out of nowhere!

"What in the nine realms just happened?"
