A bride for Prince Loki

Unexpected first meeting

Loki stood watching (Y/n) waiting impatiently for a response. "Are you deaf, I asked you a question?" he almost growled.

Thinking it was Odin you spoke as calmly as you could, "I am sorry sir, I am a huge animal lover and wanted to be somewhere calming."

"You must be a new maid in the palace. Nobody is allowed near my horse." he spoke down on you as if you were a mere servant.

"I am sorry, I didn't know. He is so beautiful; I couldn't help myself." you sighed and slowly turned around to see who the voice belonged to; gasping as you saw Loki standing before you.

'Oh shit, what do I do? He's not supposed to see me nor I, him' (Y/n) thought looking anywhere but at the raven-haired god. He raised an eyebrow as if to wait for you to curtsy or leave.

"I suggest you get back to your duties at once," he spoke sharply, still not knowing you were a maiden for the contest.

"I am not a maid," you said harshly crossing your arms getting annoyed with his attitude

"I do not care. You shouldn't be in the royal stables nor near my horse," He responded threateningly, his green eyes glaring at you.

You looked up to meet his eyes and he looked at you menacingly. "You? You are one of Thor's Midgardian friends" he formed daggers in his hands from out of nowhere.

"I am here for this stupid contest. I was allowed to come early for a tour since I nor my fellow companion know anything about Asgard. Now if you will excuse me... Prince Loki" you spat in his general direction "I must get back before dinner starts"

"You dare talk t-" Loki tried to speak but you just cut him off in a flash of violet-colored smoke you disappeared to your room, slightly startling Natasha.

"So, how were the stables?" Natasha asked after you flopped onto your bed groaning.

"Infuriating" (Y/n) sighed looking up at Nat "How can one person be so frustrating and hot?" you asked aloud not really wanting an answer.

"Don't tell me He was there?" she asked, watching you strangle your pillow.

"Yup, shortly after you left. He even had the audacity to call me a maid," you said through gritted teeth. As the two of you talked a maid knocked on the door, bringing in a cart holding both yours and Nat's dinner.

"Seeing as you're both early the All-father has demanded you eat in your room until the competitions begins." the maid said bowing then left.

Loki's Pov

I had finally written the exam I would give the maidens that would test their intelligence. Looking at the sky I estimated it was nearing dinnertime. 'I think I can squeeze in a short ride' I thought standing up and stretching my back out. I had been in the library for around six hours. I straightened out my clothes.

Snapping my fingers, I changed into my black leather pants and white button-down dress shirt (one of the only items I liked from Midgard) and headed out to the stables.

Once I got to the stables, I heard someone inside. I did not think anyone would be in the stables this close to dinner. I snuck inside to see who it was. I looked at her from the shadows. I did not recognize her. "What do you think you're doing here?!" She jumped. I had to fight to hold back a laugh. "Are you deaf, I asked you a question?" I asked, getting impatient.

"I am sorry sir; I am a huge animal lover and wanted to be somewhere calming."

'I didn't know Odin hired a new maid. I wish he would tell me these things,' I thought to myself. "You must be a new maid in the palace. Nobody is allowed near my horse."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know. He's so beautiful, I couldn't help myself." She looked up at me and gasped. I rolled my eyes. She looked away from me. I smirked then waited for her to curtsey or leave but she did neither. "I suggest you get back to your duties at once!" I was starting to get fed up.

"I am not a maid," she practically spat at me.

"I don't care. You shouldn't be in the royal stables nor near my horse!" I glared at her. She looked up at me. 'Where have I seen her before? Oh! She's one of Thor's stupid Midgardian friends.' "You? You're one of Thor's Midgardian friends!" I summon two daggers. "I am here for this stupid contest. I was allowed to come early for a tour since I nor my fellow companion know anything about Asgard. Now if you will excuse me... Prince Loki." She spits at me. "I must get back before dinner." That was it! "You dare talk t-" She teleported away with purple smoke. 'Magic? But she's Midgardian...' I just stood there shocked and annoyed.

"Brother," Thor called loudly, snapping me out of my trance.

"What is it Thor?" I asked with boredom in my voice.

"It is time for dinner, mother and father are waiting"he bellowed back as we both walked to the dining hall, Thor smiling idioticallyand myself lost in thought
