~That night I slept on your side of the bed
So it was ready when you got home
We're like noughts and crosses
In that opposites always attract~ Always Attract, You Me At Six
Maybe it was the moon, or the way the stars lit up the sky. The way the moonlight glistened off of the sea, the way the warm summer air brought everything to life. The slow and quiet song her iPod played added to the effect. Her hair was tied back into a bun, a few loose strands framing her face. He stood merely five inches away from her as they swayed slowly to the music on the Mediterranean Sea. They were lost in each others eyes as a smile grew on his face, getting wider as she returned it.
"Thank you for this wonderful trip." she whispered, her face lighting up even more.
"Barcelona is one of my favorite cities in your mortal world." he whispered in return. She laughed at his wording.
"Is it really necessary for the word 'mortal'?" He laughed, his face lighting up like a child receiving presents on Christmas.
"It is only a habit that I have grown up using, darling." he leaned in and kissed her forehead. She looked up to him, her eyes filled with passion and desire. It was her mesmerizing gaze that got him, he realized. It was her charm, determination, and utter stubbornness. The way she bit her lip when she was nervous, the gleam in her eyes when she expected an adventure, her smile brightened his day.
"Thinking much?" she interrupted his train of thoughts.
"Just wondering." he stated, looking back into her bright blue eyes, getting even more lost by the minute.
"About what?" she questioned.
"Things." he replied, smiling. He knew it got to her when he wouldn't reveal something.
"What things?" she asked, glancing down at his lips for a second before staring back into his eyes. He smiled, and decided to live in the moment. He bent down and whispered in her ear,
"Things like this." He shifted and kissed her full on, passionate as ever. She returned the passion, kissing with determination and force. He didn't mind though. He was perfectly capable of taming her. She leaned closer until there was no room between their bodies. They lost connection with the rest of the world, and were sucked into their own. She broke away from the kiss and stared into his eyes, silently daring him. He smiled, and kissed her again, this time tender and gently. It was then when they made love for the first time.
"Forever and Always." Natasha whispered before falling asleep with Loki at her side.
"Whats wrong?" Loki asked. He noticed that she was quite quiet around him the past few days. He stood from the bed and walked over to her, pulling her into an embrace.
"I have to tell you something." she whispered. He looked down at her, not able to detect anything but worry in her eyes.
"What is it love?"
"I'm pregnant." His heart stopped. Tears were welling up in her eyes as she started sobbing into his chest. He didn't say anything. He didn't need to. It felt like hours of silence, but it truly had been a few minutes. Natasha stopped crying and looked up at Loki, wiping her tears away.
"What are we going to do?" she whispered, her voice strained.
"I don't know," he said, his arms pulling her closer. Then the idea popped into his mind. "We could live in the outskirts of Asgard."
"But what about everyone? I can't just disappear for nine months and then reappear again like nothing happened." Natasha took a deep breath. "What about our child? I couldn't bear to give it away, but I can't take care of a child! Let alone a family. What will Fury say? What-"
Loki interrupted her rant. "Shh, darling. Don't worry, I have someone in mind we can trust." Natasha thought about it for a moment.
"But what will my excuse be for being gone for nine months?" Loki smiled.
"A capture, maybe."
"Fine. But when do we leave?" Natasha asked.
"Why not now?" Loki teleported them out of the apartment, and into Asgard without looking back.
Any Good? Yes? No? Maybe so? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I know this is mighty short, but I promise longer chapters in the future.
Salut,
