This is only short but I hope you all like it. There will be some kind of plot to this story eventually I promise. Enjoy.

Loki was sure Sigyn wouldn't come see him again, not after the way he had treated her. She had come to see him twice and twice he had yelled at her. Sigyn was many things but forgiving was not one of them, at least not toward him. He had learned long ago that Sigyn was not one to tolerate his toying with other people, especially when that other person was her. He had already done it twice and Loki knew she wouldn't be back to indulge him for a third time. That's what he thought, anyway.

He was shocked when he heard her coming down the staircase. At first he thought it must have been someone else, some tiny servant or other, but Sigyn's delicate steps couldn't be confused with anything. His suspicions were confirmed when she walked forward and stepped into the light that spilled from his cell.

She greeted her husband with a nod. "Good morning Loki."

For a while all he could do was stand there in shock. She was back, standing there in front of him. Loki felt strangely happy at the sight of her; like he was glad she hadn't given up on him. He calmly masked his disbelief with indifference. "So you've come back, have you?"

He was on the opposite side of the room, sitting on the floor and leaning against the wall. From his position he could see every inch of Sigyn clear as day, at least the parts of her that weren't hidden by that dark cloak of hers. Her pale skin glowed against the darkness behind her. Her magnificent blue eyes pierced his soul as she stared him down, wordlessly telling him that she would not be taking any of his games today.

"You are entertaining, I must say." He said when she didn't reply. "With this naïve belief of helping others. Tell me, what have you come to convince me of today?"

"Have you eaten?" She said, ignoring his words.

"If you can call what they bring me food." He snorted.

"That's good." She nodded to herself. "You should be eating."

"Still with this wifely concern? Even after everything that's happened?" He said in mock sincerity.

"I have never stopped caring for you Loki. You know that."

He looked away childishly, lacking the energy to move do anything else. "I don't know why you waste your time."

"Waste my time? Caring for you?" she shook her head. "Loki, I can't help but care for you. You are my husband and I love you."

"Are you really so content with being a monster's bride?" He sneered.

"You are not a monster." She told him. "And I wouldn't leave you even if I could."

"Are you sure? It would be rather easy to be rid of me, you know. All you would have to do is go to your beloved Alfather and beg him to lift the magic bonds that bind us together. I'm sure he would bless you with your freedom, he's the pitying type. After that you could just take your pick from the long line of suitors waiting by your bedroom door."

She said nothing, refusing to let what he was saying get to her. Sigyn knew better than to fall for his games by getting angry or upset.

"I know you're lonely, why else would you continue to visit me?" He continued on in her silence. "If you don't want to marry one, at least take one to warm your bed. I'm sure with a face as pretty as yours you convince any handsome, dim-witted oaf to keep you company at night."

Loki could help but be surprised when a grin spread across Sigyn's face. She laughed softly for a while before finally speaking. "You still think I'm pretty?"

He raised an eyebrow. That was what was so amusing? "You are the most beautiful woman in Asgard; I wouldn't have married anything less."

Sigyn did her best not to react to his words. She was so surprised; it had been so long since he had said anything that kind to her. It was kind of sad, when she thought about it, to be so overwhelmed by a single compliment amongst a sea of insults. But that was what her life had become.

"You are a sight to behold." Sigyn was so lost in her own thoughts she didn't notice he was staring at her again.

There was such ferocity in the way he looked at her, a hunger in his eyes that Sigyn had seen so many times before. "I don't think I'm the one who's lonely."

He smirked at her. "Loneliness is the price you pay of glory."

"Doesn't seem worth it." She replied.

He smiled. "It will be."

"Are you planning something?"

"I'm full of tricks, my dear. Just remember that."

"I don't think that's something I could forget." He laughed at her comment. She found herself smiling at the sound. "I missed you."

He gave her a knowing smile. She knew he wouldn't return the sentiment; he wanted to keep his power over her. But she didn't care. She continued on in his silence. "I dreamt about you when you were gone. Such vivid, powerful dreams. They were so strong, so clear; they made me think that perhaps… they weren't really dreams."

Loki said nothing; he just sat there and continued staring at her. The look on his face was one of amused superiority. He knew it would drive her crazy, it would force to question everything she though was true. Good. It was better she think herself mad than believe he genuinely cared for her. She really thought she was that important to him? That he visited her dreams just to get a glimpse of her? No, Loki was not that weak. He would not admit to such a pathetic act of love. He would not tell her of the visits into her dreams, the time he wasted watching over her, the nights he spent wandering through her mind just to see if she still thought about him…

"You do not have to answer." She said sadly. "It may be better if you don't. I honestly don't what I would do if you told me they were merely dreams."

For a moment Loki pitied her. She was so broken, so alone. He had done that. He had taken this once fiery, confident woman and made her desperate and unsure. His heart broke for her, just a little bit.

Sigyn's head shot up suddenly. She looked over her shoulder with a worried glance.

"Someone is coming. It's time I leave." She told him apologetically.

"Will you be back?" The question was spoken before Loki could stop himself. He was shocked at the words that left his mouth, and by the look on her face so was Sigyn. She looked at him for a while before nodding slowly.

She turned away and quickly left before either of them could say anything else. Loki was left to his own thoughts for a moment before he heard the heavy clunking footsteps of his guard.

The feeling of contentment he felt from his time with Sigyn made him uneasy. He had forgotten how addictive this woman was, but he couldn't allow her to force her way back into his life. He didn't want it. It was too dangerous for the both of them.

As always I want to hear you guyses opinions. I accept all kinds. Sorry this isn't very long chapter and nothing much really happens but eh. There'll be some more flashbacks next chapter, I'm going to try and reveal more of Sigyn and Loki's history and junk. Oh, and Thor may come visit him sometime soon, you never know.
