Hidden in Plain Sight // A Spiderfrost Fanfic

Chapter 28

I apologize for this chapter being so short. I have a lot of work to do, so I could only spend so much time working on this chapter. Sorry!

Peter's POV

I sighed and started walking towards the elevator. Loki seemed sad. Then again, he was a snake. I stepped into the elevator.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

The doors slid shut. I pressed the penthouse floor.

The snake hissed quietly and his tongue flickered in and out. Praying he didn't bite me, I reached over and stroked him. He leaned into my touch.

"You don't have to be a snake anymore," I told him.

The snake shook its head and flicked its tongue.

"I see. You still feel guilty."

I continued petting him until the elevator doors opened. I stepped out.

"What would you like to do, mini Loki?" I asked him.

The snake opened his jaws wide like he was about to swallow prey and then shut his mouth. I realized it was a yawn. Can snakes yawn?

I smiled. "Sleepy, huh?"

I went to the kitchen and walked to the living room. To my surprise, it was empty.

"How about we take a nap here?"

I reached out my arm to the couch and Loki slithered down it until he was on the cushions. I plopped down next to him. I laid down and patted the space next to my chest. Loki came over and curled up in the spot.

I began petting him again and closed my eyes. I promptly fell asleep.

When I woke up the first thing I saw was Loki. He had turned into his normal self. The second thing I noticed was that we were cuddling.

I smiled. Loki looked so cute when he was asleep. I didn't want to move because I was afraid of waking up Loki, so I played with his hair. It was silky and soft. I was tempted to wake him up to ask what kind of shampoo he used.

I started braiding his hair. My nimble fingers weaved through his hair, braiding tiny strands together. By the time Loki started to stir, I had almost covered his whole head in braids. He opened his eyes.

I gave him a soft smile. "How was your nap?"

He smiled back. "It was really good."

We untangled from each other and sat up.

Loki patted his head. "What's up with my hair?"

"Go look in a mirror."

He stood and headed towards a decorative mirror Tony had put on the wall. He said it was so he could look at his beautiful face whenever he wanted.

Loki gasped when he saw his hair. He turned back to me.

"You did this?"

I nodded.

"It's amazing! Thank you!" He exclaimed.

I blushed. "You're welcome."

There was a moment of awkward silence and then Loki made a face like he had an idea or something.

He cleared his throat. "Peter.."

"What, Lo Lo?"

"You're not going to like this."

"Huh?"

"I'm going to make you be a pretty princess."

I shook my head. "Absolutely not."

"Yes."

"Never!"

"You leave me no choice then."

Loki snapped his fingers. A purple dress appeared on my body.

"What the- Loki!"

He smirked. "Yup. You really do look like a princess."

"Whatever! I'm taking this off!"

I pulled on the fabric. It refused to come off. It was like it was glued to my body.

"What the heck, Loki?!"

Loki chuckled. "You can't take it off until I say so!"

"Fuck you.."

"Peter language! Not to mention so forward!"

"Loki!" I said, blushing furiously.

He laughed. I sighed and smoothed out the dress. At least it had sleeves.

"Loki, please let me out of this dress."

"Not a chance, princess!" He picked me up bridal style. "Let's go show everyone your pretty dress!"

"Loki!" I exclaimed grabbing onto his so I wouldn't fall. "Put me down!"

"Nope!~"

My blush darkened at the close contact. The god started heading to the doorway to the kitchen, while I desperately tried to struggle out of his arms.

"Loki if you go in there I won't give you any cuddles!"

He stopped and looked down at me. "No cuddles?"

"No cuddles."

He seemed to think for a moment. "Fine."

He placed me on the carpet.

"Thank you."

I looked around and realized it was completely dark outside.

"Hey what time is it?" I asked.

Loki glanced at a clock. "9:45. Woah."

It was as if a lightbulb lit up in my head.

"Loki! Do you wanna have a sleepover?"
