Story type: Fluff

Y/N sat in their room, finishing preparing for the huge ball. To celebrate the establishment of Asgard, the castle was holding a ball in honor of it. Y/N was a royal cook, and was permitted to attend the ball as a guest instead of a servant, thanks to a little persuading of a good friend, Loki. They weren't exactly dating, but they were definitely more than friends. Loki always bent the rules and used his smooth talking to get Y/N more luxuries than any other castle worker could dream of. As Y/N put the finishing touch on their outfit, a knock came upon the door. "Who is it?" Y/N called. "It's Loki!" The familiar voice called back. Y/N smiled and ran to open the door. Loki stared at them up and down. "You look ravishing tonight." He said. "Oh...I- thank you." Y/N stuttered, blushing. They always got flustered and became a stuttering mess when Loki flirted with them. "Shall we go?" Loki asked, flashing his charming smile. "Oh-I....yes, let's go." Y/N replied. Loki held out his arm, and Y/N wrapped their arm with his, then they set off down the long golden hallways to the ballroom. "I'm so flattered you chose to take me to the ball instead of the other fine, more respectable people around you." Y/N said as they strolled along. "Of course I wanted to take you! I'm not very thrilled with stuck-up, respectable people." Loki said. "And I wasn't very thrilled with having to be a servant to hundreds of guests." Y/N added, causing Loki to chuckle. "I think you'll have a good time." He said.

As the couple entered the huge ballroom, hundreds of guests were already present. They were chatting, eating, drinking, and laughing. Odin and Frigga sat on their thrones overlooking the floor, while Thor mingled with the guests. "Hello brother!" Thor greeted Loki as he came up to them. "I see you've decided to escort Y/N?" "Yes, of course. I would never have them slaving away in a kitchen on a night like this." Loki answered. Y/N smiled shyly, aware they were the lowest class person in the whole room. "Why don't you take Y/N to the buffet? I'm sure you both could use some good food before the dancing commences." Thor suggested. "Shall we?" Loki asked Y/N. "Certainly." They replied. The couple went to the buffet and filled their plates with all the grand dishes there were to offer. Y/N felt like they were in a wonderland, with good food, high-class people, and of course Loki by their side. After they had finished eating, Odin called everyone's attention, then proceeding to make a speech about Asgard's history. Loki took Y/N's hand and held it gently under the table so no one could see. Y/N chuckled nervously and tried to pay attention to what Odin was saying. After he had finished his speech, the music started playing, and people escorted each other out to the dance floor. "May I have this dance?" Loki asked, kissing Y/N's hand. Y/N gasped and answered, "Yes. I'd love to dance." The couple stood up and went to the dance floor, then carefully embracing each other, began to sway elegantly to the music. "You're quite a good dancer." Loki said. "My mother taught me how when I was a child. She was a great dancer herself, and wanted to pass it down to me." Y/N explained. "Well, she did an amazing job then." He said. They smiled at each other as they continued to move across the floor.
After the first song had ended, a sweet melody began. (This is the song playing)

Loki smiled fondly at Y/N, and they began dancing again. Y/N felt the music and the angelic singing surge through their veins, and the way they dances grew more powerful and elegant. Loki noticed this positive change, and in turn, proceeded to put more feeling in each step. They didn't even notice that people had stopped their own dancing and were moving back to give the couple more space to move. The woman's voice sounded clear and refreshing to the soft, sweet melody of the music. Loki and Y/N's steps continued to grow more elegant and elaborate as they felt the music in their souls. Like nothing else in the 9 realms even mattered. Like they were the only people alive. Y/N had never felt this energy before, and they hoped it would never end. More and more people left the dance floor and stood back to watch the passionate couple. Even Odin and Frigga were watching. The golden walls and shiny floors glistened, giving off more light to the dancing pair. Loki stared into Y/N's eyes with his own icy blue ones, and Y/N stared fondly back, a small smile on their face. Many minutes later, the song came to an end, and the entire ballroom of guests cheered and yelled. Y/N and Loki broke out of their trance and finally realized they had the entire dance floor, that every guest there had stood back and watched them. "I love you so much Y/N." Loki said, giving them a kiss on the cheek. Y/N blushed and stuttered, unable to find words. "There's no need to try so hard." Loki said, smiling at them. Y/N smiled back, and all they could do was kiss Loki on his cheek back. The couple left the floor and went to sit down again, and the dance continued on normally. However, no one would forget that lovely, passionate dance between Loki and a servant.
