Stepping in, you could sense he was there, but not where he was, until you realised there was a light coming through a keyhole from another room. So you closed the door went to search for a light source. "Close your eyes." You were ordered in the darkness, startling you slightly.

"Loki." You smiled, not needing to even think to recognise his voice. "What are you doing?"

"Close your eyes," He repeated.

"But I just got my sight back, I want to see you." You looked around.

"Please, for me, close them." He all but begged, causing you to stop looking around, take a deep breathe, and obey.

"Can I ask why?" You asked, not liking that you were being forced into darkness once more. A pair of hands cupped your face, and though you were expecting it, you jumped slightly, before calming again. Your eyes flickered open, but the room was still in darkness. "Loki?" You asked, he gave a small 'hmm' in response. "Are you scared of me seeing you?"

"I fear nothing," He replied, his lips gently pressing against yours.

"Then let me see you." You challenged as his lips gently slid down your neck, not giving an answer to your request. "You are scared, why? Is it that you think I will not want you now?"

He remained silent for a moment, his lips lingering over your throat. "If you do not find me…"

Slightly annoyed, you pulled his lips to your and kissed as though your life was depending on it. "I do not care one bit what it is you look like. Appearances mean nothing to me."

"But all beings look different, and to each other being, they can be more appealing or less appealing that others, take for example Thor? You have seen him, haven't you?"

"I have, and he did nothing for me." You shrugged.

"Really?"

"He is too burly looking, and looks way too like his father, and so; no, not interested." You voice was not one of repulsion, but not far from it. It was entirely true, you could see why others would be attracted to Thor, but you were most certainly not. "I want you Loki." You pulled his lips to yours. "Only you." You let your hand slid over his face as they had done the day that you were blind and had done so. Still his hair was long, his cheekbones were well defined, and even his nose seemed to intrigue you. "I love how you look in my mind, this will only add to it."

"What if it does not?"

"Not possible." You smiled, kissing him again. "You did this for me. How? Why?"

"As I watched you rest after we lay together, when you said you loved me, I knew that I would never want another to say such to me, and I remembered a spell, I wanted to give you something to express that I feel so too. I wanted to give you everything, even if it meant you wanted nothing more to do with me."

"Why would I not want anything more to do with you? You didn't do anything illegal for this did you?"

"No, everything was fine with regards it, all the research was done by Thor."

"Then I am not sure what you are going on about."

"You might hate how I look." You could hear the anxiety in his voice.

"If you say that one more time, I will knee you in the nuts, just like I did Rogers," You warned.

"You what?"

"Oh, you weren't upstairs. I told Rogers that if he bad mouthed you, I would knee him in the crotch, and he did, so I did."

Loki erupted in laughter, louder than you ever thought possible, and he held you close to him. "My darling, I cannot express how much I wish I could have seen that."

"You can, Tony has it recorded."

"Well then, that is on my plans for today, perhaps tomorrow." He pressed his forehead to yours. "I hope how you have seen me in your mind has not given you a false idea of me and that seeing me makes me unappealing to you."

"Never possible." You took a deep breath. "Please Loki, let me see you, I have wanted only this since I realised I could see again, and indeed long before that also. I need to find a way to thank you too."

"I would sacrifice my own sight to have you have yours."

You stiffened against him. "Please tell me you didn't."

"No, I did not."

"Then why say that?" You slapped him hard.

"Odin tested me with such a threat."

"He's an ass."

"What did he say to you?"

"You didn't hear?"

"No, I did not, hence my asking."

"Just that he cared for you, and that he wanted to see what all the fuss was about with me, and thanking me for saving you."

"He is a truly odd being."

"He's emotionally constipated on levels that make you seem tame."

"Hey!"

"I jest, well, if he was half as caring to you when you needed it, you would not have felt so vulnerable," You growled, pulling out of his embrace.

"Where are you going?" In the dark, Loki could not see where you were gone.

"I am finding a light switch," You answered, knowing better than him how to manoeuvre in the dark. You heard him grunt as he struck some piece of furniture behind you and causing you to giggle.

"Please, don't." He pleaded.

"Loki, I want to see you, not because I want to know if you are attractive, to me you…" You had found the lighting dial, and swiped it to half way, leaving you looking directly at Loki, who was not far from you, looking back at you in with something akin to fear in his eyes. Your own eyes widened as you look at the man in front of you. His features were starkly contrasting, he stood straight again, assessing you assessing him. He was, without a doubt, the most handsome creature you had ever seen. Your trying to analyse his face with your hands and the image in your mind, as a result, had done him no justice.

"Am I…do you…?" In shock, all you could do was shake your head.

"Why did you even look at me?" You asked when you finally found your voice again., tears in your eyes. Loki frowned, even such an action made him seem even more handsome. "You look like that and I am so…ordinary."

Loki could hardly compute what you were saying. "I fear you have us confused." He gave a small smile. "You are the most exquisite creature in all the realms." He walked forward cautiously when you did not flinch or step back, he continued. "I cannot imagine one more beautiful. It is I that is nothing spectacular."

You blushed at his words. "I suppose your not repulsive." You bit your lip and smiled at him.

"Words failed me, I was not thinking," He stated in self-defence. "You were naked in front of me, what else was I to say?" He looked at you again. "So I am pleasing to you?"

You nodded wordlessly, eyes wide. "I suppose that makes some sense, I mean, if you were naked now, I dare say I would faint." You immediately realised what you had said and regretted the words leaving your mouth.

Loki cocked a brow and gave a mischievous grin. "Really?" His hands made his way to his tunic to remove it. Your eyes widened and you bit your bottom lip. Loki felt relieved to see your now no longer clouded eyes were dark with arousal. "I did not cease thinking of you on Asgard," He stated as he pulled the tunic over his head, revealing the alabaster and taunt muscled skin of his torso. You swallowed audibly and stepped back against the wall to try and hold yourself up, your knees feeling weak. His grin grew as he realised what you were doing. "In particular, what we did before my leaving."

"Loki," You whispered.

"I was hoping to show you more attention during the subsequent times we are together, but all things considered, I am not entirely sure that is possible now, even seeing you in front of me has me yearning so desperately for you I am not sure I can take my time." You nodded in agreement, trying to process what was happening. He walked towards you and instinctively, as soon as he came into reach, your hands made for him, latching on around his neck and pulling him close.

"I love you." You gasped before pressing your lips to his.

"As I do you my sweetling." He grinned when he broke the kiss for a moment, before lifting you into his arms and leaning you into the wall, to prevent your height difference being irksome.

You looked into his eyes, the perfect blend of green and blue, your hands, gently caressing his face as you did so. He stood there, looking back into your eyes, somehow managing to keep you level with him. "Loki." You smiled. "For the record, you are far better looking than I ever thought possible." You played with his hair a little bit, your eyes falling to his chest, to the faint scars you could barely see there. "I was scared you left me."

"I will never leave you now my little dove, not as long as you want me here."

You kissed him again. "Is it selfish of me to want you to stay?"

"Only as selfish as it is for me to want to remain." He grinned, kissing you again.

"You're stuck with me now so."

"I want it no other way. You saved me, you were my light in the dark."

"Funny, for it was you that was a beacon in mine."
