They Blossom in the Winter
Ch.4
Loki's POV
That angel. The one called "Cherie", HA! She's no angel. Or if she is then a foolish one. She says she's saved me. Well the joke is on her, I rather have stayed in jotunheim than be with that one eyed tyrant.
I could not really rest at night. Much to my dismay, that black haired woman stayed in my head. She had first looked at me with. Oh gods… sentiment of some sort and then her eyes changed from a light amber to this deep and dark brown with even hints of red. That red matched her fury I could sense boiling inside her. Her behavior is insufferable and I'll be damned if anyone expects me to treat her in a forgiving manner. Better yet, someone much teach that girl that she cannot touch or speak to a God in a demeaning matter. I may not be king but I sure as hell am royalty.
I finally decide to get out of bed and wash myself. After some minimal technical difficulties with the temperature of the water, I relaxed with the cold down pour. I chuckle to myself. Unlike most asgardians and probably humans, I relax with cold water, not hot.
"That's obviously because you're a frost giant Loki", I admit to myself and sigh. I don't remember how to turn off the bath contraption. I push and pull every lever and hook but alas no use. I have no time to be bothering with these things so I freeze the water with a swipe of my hand and head out the room with a towel around my waist.
I summon lounging attire for myself but the only thing that happens is my towel dropping on the floor. I try again and nothing! Oh that fat king must have restricted my powers! What in the hell am i suppose to wear now?
Cherie's POV
KNOCK KNOCK "NO", I grumble automatically.
I dont even know who it is but I sure as hell dont care. "Oh Miss. Aaaaangeeel!" Tony sang. I hide my head between two pillows. I'm most certainly not a morning person, and I don't even feel remotely happy this morning. The sheets were too hot for my preference and instead of hearing the crickets play at night, I heard what the humans call cars drive by, and even some sort of aircraft that sounded like IT passed right by my window!
It seems Tony Stark has forgotten of his mission to wake me up and has began enjoying a game of knocking and scratching at my door at a uplifting melody. "All right Stark! You can stop rubbing your butt against my door...yes i can see things most humans can't.", i retorted. And quietly tried to hide my giggles when i saw with my celestial powers that Tony slightly blushed before adding "Well um, breakfast is served! See you there!".
I huff and sit upright. I didn't really have time to observe my room as much, but by God, it's magnificent! The walls are a light soft yellow with white molding. The bed is in the back center and it's huge I can sleep from every angle. Haha and I know this because I woke up with my head on the left corner and my legs were barely in the middle of the bed. There is a desk in the front right corner with writing material and I'm guess to the right is the bathroom.
I slide out of bed to freshen up slightly before heading out for breakfast. I slept naked, though I know I really shouldn't living in someone's else's home. But I didn't have much time to conjure up nightwear last night. Right before turning the handle to leave my room to leave, I now wear tight black pants that rest just under my navel paired with a royal blue shirt tucked in with an arms length that reached my elbows.
I don't really feel like wearing any shoes yet and besides the cold floor is welcoming to my toes. I reach the opening to the dining room to find Thor and Stark chatting about how not to break the toaster over when both turn to me. Tony smiles wide and waves. Thor has a shy smile and coughs nervously before walking up to me. "Good morrow Lady Cherie" he announces kindly.
"I would hope you forgive me for my hostile intentions towards you last night, I only come in peace now." The gentle giant says. I smile more to myself and think how curious it is that someone so big and warrior-like is also the politest. "No worries Thor, you did what you felt necessary. And let me apologize for coming in so abrupt haha".
Tony cuts in, "Damn right you did! I haven't forgotten about my windows, and my back for that matter". I roll my eyes look and something catches my eye at the bar.
It's Loki and as if he can sense my eyes, he turns over his shoulder slightly and studies me up and down with his emerald eyes. I can't help but feel nervous with his eyes on me.
I focus more on adjusting with the present avengers than trying to deal with loki. I know I shouldn't feel intimidated. I'm the angel, I'm more powerful than him but something is making me fidgity in the way he looks at me. I try and forget about it while serving myself breakfast from the platters of fruit and juices on the table.
I sit down in front of stark and thor and both share funny stories and fill me in that the rest of the avengers are away in Spain on a mission. Tony had to stay back and code out some information using someone he called Jarvis? I haven't seen him yet though...
Loki's POV
This tea and fruits are incomparable to the great foods of Asgard. But It'll have to suffice. Just as these clothes that I found in the drawers in my appointed chambers. I chose a dark green long sleeved tunic, but it's much form fitting than I anticipated. The so called "jeans" were so tight. I don't understand why midgardians feel it necessary to have clothes that have to outline ones legs and rear end so prominently. However I stayed with my own boots.
The angel has taken a liking to stark and thor of course. Those buffoons are throwing themselves at her.
It's pathetic. She may be smooth skin with full lips. but she still slapped me. I can't stop myself but look to her frequently. I have many questions but I don't want to risk being chastised again. She caught my glance once and the former look of power and confidence vanished. Cherie had her mouth slightly parted and her cheeks slightly blushed before drawing her attention to Stark again. I grin to myself and wonder to myself if the woman thinks me attractive. If so, then today shall be fun for me.
