Hello! So, I thought I'd let you know that today is my birthday and that I had a great day. Anyway, on with the chapter!
"You may kiss your spouse."
When the priest said those words, Loki's heart started pounding. their first kiss. Hopefully the first of many. He tipped his head up slightly to give his Husband better access and sighed slightly when he felt the soft lips press against his briefly, before Thor pulled back and turned to smile at the on-lookers. Everyone was smiling and cheering, and when they walked down the aisle so they could sit at their table, confetti was thrown over them.
They sat down at the table and then there were speaches given by both Odin and Laufey. Upon Laufey's finish, the food was brought out. On there table, for they were different to the wedding ones, was Volstagg, Hogun, Fandrall, Sif, Vidar, Saga, Alvis and Hildr with her husband-to-be, Gunnar. They were to be married in a week, so the halls would remain set up and only the colours would be changed.
Thor decided to introduce Loki to his friends, as in Asgard he spent much of his time with them, "Loki, I would like you to meet Volstagg, Sif, Fandrall and Hogun."
"It's nice to meet you all." The raven-haired man surveyed his husband's friends, assessing them. The first was Volstagg. The first thing the prince noticed about him was that he was rather large. Even sitting down you could tell he was a tall man, and he was carrying some extra weight around his middle too. His fondness for food was the obvious cause for his size, not laziness as he ate his way through his plate with no trouble and quickly piled some more onto his plate. As he ate, he joked with his friends, his blue eyes twinkling merrily and his hands waving around excitedly, earning a disapproving look from Sif.
Sif was an interesting lady that he hoped he could get along with. By talking to her, he learned that she was clever but what intruiged him was he Warrior status, one never acheived by a woman before her. He wanted to know how, and he wanted to fight her. Her looks were deceiving - her dark hair and eyes against her pale skin made her look like a lady, frail and unable to defend herself. Loki was used to being underestimated due to his effeminate looks and small body and it was an exelent tool, if frustrating at times.
Fandrall was frustrating, even having only known him an hour. He had tried already to flirt with Saga and Hildr, much to the dislike of their partners. He quickly backed down upon learning their situation, instead turning to bragging about the women that he and Thor had seduced, telling 'comical' stories. His blond hair was perfectly coiffed and his blue eyes were permanently set on 'seduce' mode, seeking out all the women and winking at the discretely.
Hogun was the only one Loki couldn't figure out. He was disciplined and quiet, rarely joining in with conversations merely listening. He was fascinating, just because he wanted to work him out. But the prince could see himslef liking this man. He found it reassuring how his dark eyes scanned the room, almost as if looking for an escape. He didn't like these parties. Neither did Loki.
After the dessert was finished and the toasts were made, Thor and Loki decided to retire for the night, Fandrall giving a lecherous look and the others waving goodbye. They had decided that the castle in Asgard would be a good place to go after their marriage, as everyone was staying in Jotunheim for the wedding next week and it was mayhem.
When the young princes reached the portal, Thor yelled, "Heimdall, take us home!" and suddenly, they were flynig through the Bifrost. Loki's nerves resurfaced as they travelled. He was about to see his new home for the first time. He hoped that he could be happy there.
When they landed, Loki took a moment to steady himself before looking up, "Wow..."
The prince's admiration made thor puff up with pride, "It's magnificent, is it not?"
"Yes, yes it is." he breathed, staring up at the shining buildings, before turning to look at the rivers and the trees.
"Come, lets go back to the castle. I wish to speak with you before anything else."
The blue man nodded dazedly, letting himself be lead to a horse. Once he was on, he felt Thor climb on behind and then they set off towards his new home.
There you go! Hope you enjoy it and see you next week.
