(A/N): Hey! So sorry for making you wait! XS I have been so busy, but here it is! Hope you like it! XD I found it a little amusing, hehe!
"Would you like to hold my hand, Dear?" Loki teased Elsa as they walked through the hallways of the castle, heading to the dinner room.
"I'm not in the mood for games, Loki." Elsa says coldly with her arms crossed nervously.
"Are you now? Is it because of this dinner you are about to have? I thought you would worry about eating more than meeting Odin."
Elsa glances at Loki from the corners of her eyes. She saw Loki's smirk appearing on his lips. Such a cocky man, aren't you, Elsa thought before looking back ahead. They both grew silent within the halls. A few people passed them, forcing Elsa to take Loki's arm. Finally, they made it to the dinner room's large, golden doors. Elsa released Loki's arm and stared at the doors in awe. These are a little bigger than the front doors of the castle, Elsa thought as she fiddles with her hands.
"You seemed to be more in admiration with the doors than the food you haven't seen." Loki laughs.
Elsa looks to him. "Says the one who was trying to soften me with a compliment when we first met. I'm guessing you are like that with all women, yes?"
Loki gets confused. "…I don't see the similarity here…"
"There were none. I was only mocking you just as you did with me."
Loki narrows his eyes and stares down at her as Elsa begins to smile with a soft giggle escaping her mouth. Then, the doors to the dinner room opens with loud creaks. Both Loki and Elsa look ahead to see who was already in the room, but it was only the guards that guarded the doors. Loki walks in, leaving behind Elsa. Keep your cover, damn it, Elsa thought as she followed after him with a sigh. She wanted to grab his arm, but she didn't want any pink showing on her cheeks from her only trying to keep her cover.
The room was not as big as Elsa thought it would be, but the golden table was long enough for about thirty people to sit. A large chandelier was hung overhead that was shaped as the castle. As two guards on each side guarded the towering doors from opposite sides of the long dinner table, the table was already set up for four. There were no food on the table yet. On one side of the room was an opening to a long bridge that leads to a balcony.
Elsa was about to take a seat when Loki quickly grabbed her by her arm. Elsa almost tripped over her foot, catching her balance.
"What?" Elsa asked rudely. She almost yanked her arm away, but remember the guards were in the room.
"We must wait for the king to join us for dinner before we can take our seats." Loki explains and releases her arm.
Elsa glares at him, but knew she couldn't say a single insult to him. "My apologies." She sighs. She straightens to her height and lays her hands against her stomach. She and Loki both stared out at the opened door to the balcony. A breeze was coming in, but it didn't bother them…except one guard.
Elsa glances down at Loki's stomach and slowly raised her eyes to his. It takes a few seconds for Loki to glance at her with a smirk at his lips. Elsa quickly turns her eyes back outside.
"What's wrong?" Loki asked. Elsa jumped from his voice.
"Oh…um…nothing." Elsa answers.
"Is that right? You're not nervous?" Loki continued to interrogate, fully turning to face her.
Elsa glances at him from the corners of her eyes. She saw he took a step towards her. What the hell is he doing, she thought. Loki's eyes were just too…focused. He wanted something out of her.
"No," Elsa says, dryly. "Is there something you would like to say, Loki?" Elsa turns to face him. Loki now showed a smile and seeing his teeth made Elsa a little irritated.
"I was only asking if you were alright, Dear. I can't make sure?" Loki grabs her hand and held it.
Now I know what you are doing. You're playing a game with me, Elsa thought. "Well…I'm fine. Nothing more."
"Though, it seems you have more you would like to say, Darling." Loki says before raising Elsa's hand in front of his lips to kiss it.
Damn it, I can't retreat from this! If I uncover myself, the plan would be ruined! This damn man just wants to have an advantage of playing this game with me, Elsa thought as the pink finally appeared on her cheeks.
Loki saw her pink cheeks and grips her hand a little tighter, pulling her close. "It's amusing to see such a beautiful face turn pink only from a kiss on the hand."
Since Elsa and Loki were close enough to feel one another breath, Elsa shows a glare at him. Loki only continues to smirk before leaning his head close to her cheek. Elsa didn't feel a kiss.
"You're easy to play with." Loki whispers before raising his head to continue their eye contact.
"Don't say such words to me. It's revolting." Elsa retorts as she tries to pull away, but Loki held her tight. So, she stops trying. Anything else and the guards will call for the king.
"Ah…well…I am keeping my cover, aren't I?" Loki says before quickly leaning in and kissed her aggressively. Elsa eyes widens and she tries to pull away another time, but Loki grabs her at the middle of her back. She raises her free hand to try and push back his face, but Loki retreats the second he heard footsteps in the dinner room.
"Brother, please. This is the dinner room." Thor says as he stands on the opposite side of the table in front of them.
Loki heavily sighs before releasing Elsa and turns to Thor, smirking. Elsa recovers with her cheeks red as a beet and her eyes wide as if she saw something terrifying standing in front of her. She was still facing Loki.
"My apologies, Brother. Elsa had me at her feet." Loki replies before glancing down at Elsa. Elsa was still out of place. Loki returns his eyes back at Thor.
"Is that right? It seems you have her at your feet from what I saw earlier today." Thor says as he crossed his arms, smiling at him.
Loki's smirk suddenly disappeared and a frown came upon his face. "Stay out of that."
"Shut both your mouths! I don't want to hear the starting of another argument between the two of you! I want to relax as I eat for once in my long life." Someone says as they walked into the dinner room from the halls. It was a deep voice of a man sounding a little intimidating. Thor and Loki shuts their mouths like the king had demanded as Elsa finally returned to senses. She turns around to finally see the king's face.
The king was shorter than she expected him to be, but he looked like a king. He had a beard and mustache of white and grey just like his hair on the top of his head that was combed back. He seemed to be in his sixties, but since he was a god, he was much older than that. On his right eye was a golden eye patch without a strap around his head. The king was holding a staff as he wore his golden armor that looked almost like Thor's, but instead it had a long skirt that reached his ankles.
"Sorry, Father." Thor mutters before taking a glance at him.
The king ignores Thor and turns to Elsa. He takes a long look at her before finally speaking. "You must be Elsa. I am Odin. King of Asgard." The king says before taking a seat that was beside Thor.
"It's nice to finally meet you." Elsa says with a warm smile. Loki pulls out Elsa's chair and Elsa takes a seat. Loki pushed her close to the table then took his spot next to her. As all that happened, Thor took his seat.
"I as well." Odin says before glancing at Loki then quickly returned his crystal eyes back on Elsa. Loki knew what that look meant: Don't think this woman can make me trust you fully once more. You have a long way to go. No innocent woman of yours will change my mind.
Elsa keeps her smile and looks to Loki. She saw his eyes on Odin and only Odin. He was thinking of something, but she couldn't figure out what was bothering him at that moment.
"Why don't we begin eating?" Thor asked, trying to help everyone change the discomfort between each other.
Elsa looks to Thor. "I agree."
