This day just couldn't get any worse.

To begin with, Maddy woke up to realise that there had been a time lapse of three days before her last memory, that she had engaged in a possibly lethal battle and that lastly, she was kept inside her house all day long like a prisoner. As if these weren't enough, she had just started to feel light-headed and dizzy, her vision blurring while she thought she could hear some voices...

It was an hour to midnight and Maddy was feeling restless. Several thoughts were running through her head and clouded her thoughts. She thought she was feverish so she tried laying down on the bed and falling asleep. No success so far.

At some point she heard the door creaking and soon after that the soft sound Loki's boots made as he strolled towards her room. She didn't get up to kiss him or indulge him. She didn't try to hide and sneak up to him. She didn't even move. She was just tired and mad at him so she kept sitting criss-crossed on the bed.

He slowly opened her bedroom door looking surprised to have found her in that state.

'Why are you awake?' he asked beggining to undress.

'Why are you here?' she asked him back trying to look defiant and angry.

'Oh, but you're so cute when you're mad!' he took of his shirt and shoes and sat down beside her. He took her hand in his and kissed it, and then he kissed her forehead. He usually tried to make his way out of uncomfortable situations with kisses and hugs and pretty things whispered in the ear but this time he stopped and took a good look at her.

'You're hot.' he said.

'Loki, seriously? Do you think there's any chance you can make it up to me by saying I'm hot?'

'No, I mean you're really hot. As if your forehead's hot. Not that what you said isn't true.' he added with a silly grin.

'Oh, that. Yes, I think I may have the fever. It's nothing.' she told him avoiding to look at him.

'OK then.' he said, hiding under the covers.

'Who told you, you're aloud to do that?' she asked him in a fiery tone.

As in a manner of answer he grabbed her arm and pulled her onto him, bringing his arms around her so that she couldn't leave. Not that she didn't try.

'Loki, let me go, I'm mad at you!'

In reply he simply kissed her neck, then her jaw, then her cheek, then her nose... The more she fought to break away, the more passionate he made his kiss.

At some point she simply stopped struggling and let go. His lips were on her neck again, hungry and full of passion. She couldn't help but let a small sigh escape her lips. Of course that was all the more motive for him to keep on going. He got up and turned around so that he was on top of her. He kept on working on her neck and lips while his hands travelled up and down her body.

Another sigh escaped her lips, only this one wasn't quite a sigh of lust, rather than a sigh of pain. He stopped immediately and looked down at her. She wasn't looking well. Her forehead was sweaty and her face flushed but it didn't seem to be a reaction he had caused.

'I think your fever's getting worse. Come on, let's go see Idun.' he told her softly.

'No.' she said, 'do you actually have a sense of time?'

'Yes, I do, but this is a little important.'

'It's just a fever, it's not like I haven't been through it before!'

'Yeah, I get that, but you're in pain.' he urged.

'Why do you have to be so stubborn?' she asked, 'Look, we'll go to Idun first thing in the morning. But now, please, let's just sleep. You're actually lucky you're aloud to sleep here.'

Loki looked as if he would fight it still, but eventually changed his mind. He slid in the bed beside her and hugged her. Just like every other night, they fell asleep like that.

Little did she know she wouldn't manage to get any actual sleep.

I am so sorry guys for my completely unorganised writing schedule, I have trouble dealing with my writer's moods so please, bear with me!

I will *try* to update more often but with school in the way, it may be a little hard.

I'm very, VERY seriously considering including a charachter that belongs to Cassandra Clare from one of her books, though if I do that, he will be slightly different as I will be putting him in a different world (DAH!).

Kisses! :*
