The rest of a day was mostly a blur to Clara. Loki left after a little while to tend to some things, and she had to stay in the infirmary for a while longer as doctors made sure she was okay. When she finally got the all clear, she immediately left the infirmary and was lead to her new chambers, the Queen's chambers right next to the King's chambers of course. Loki wanted her close, she would be his queen no matter what.

The rooms were huge, completely breathtaking. Everything was elegant and regal. The bedroom set up to perfection, large windows on the east and west sides of the room for a clear view of the sun rising and setting over Central Park. The bed was larger than a king size. She was grateful that the comforter, certain, and rugs weren't green but different colors, mostly blue. Everything was warm and inviting, but there was still one thing missing... freedom.

Clara sighed and starting to walk through the rooms. There was a library, sitting room, entertainment room, bedroom, grand bathroom, and even a weight room which made Clara smile. He was a dork, but at least he did his homework on her. She was a fitness freak.

She walked into the bedroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her blond hair was ruffled and her skin was faded from stress, smeared in dirt. Her dress hung around her fit figure loosely. She shook her head and walked into the bathroom. She took a quick shower to clean off her body before getting dressed. She did her hair into a French braid and put on makeup that looked natural, complimenting her skin well as to make her eyes pop. She pulled on a short blue lace dress with a black belt before putting on black flats.

There was really no reason to get dressed up, but she had nothing else to do. Her back was turned towards the door as she looked down at a book on the counter top in front of her. Loki soundlessly walked in, looking at Clara. He smirked at her as he walked up behind her, keeping a good bit of distance.

"Darling you look... gorgeous," He complimented, making her turn quickly to look at him. She accidentally knocked the book of the counter. Loki chuckled and shook his head, watching as she put a hand over her heart.

"Are you trying to give me a heart attacked?!" She snapped.

"No of course not, love," He smoothly replied, walking up to her and picking up the book. "The Fault in Our Stars?"

She blushed a little and took it back, "Hey, it's a good book!"

He chuckled and put his hands up in defense. "I'm not judging, just never took you for a romantic type..."

"Just a little... Hey could I ask you a question?"

"Of course love."

"Do I have to stay in here?"

"No dear, would you like to go for a walk?"

"That would be nice," She smiled. Loki smiled back and extended his arm for her. He wasn't sure she would take it, but when she did he was completely thrilled. Her arm wrapped around his.

Loki lead Clara out of her chambers and through the halls, going no where in particular. He just wanted to spend alone time with her as she had her arm around his and her free hand on top of his arm.

"So Ms. Stark your boyfriend wouldn't mind this?" He asked curiously. Clara laughed.

"I don't have a boyfriend."

"Oh...," He couldn't help but smile. "Why not?"

"I didn't like anyone, they were all jerks."

"Did they hurt you?" Loki growled, making her look at him.

"No... They are just rude. Relax, everyone was afraid of my father... never mind..."

"Do you miss him?"

"I don't want to talk about this with you."

"Understandable," He nodded. She fell silent and looked down, clutching to his arm. He watched her before kissing the side of her head. He was madly in love with her, could she see it? Could she see how much he wanted to be with her. He stopped and gently pushed her back against a wall, putting his hands on her hips. She looked at him, unsure on what to do.

"Clara Stark... I love you," He admitted, making her gasp.
