You lead Loki into your bedroom.
He wanted things to go slow, this wasn't slow.
You bite you lip. "I always sleep by the window, so..." You climb into bed on your side.
"I know." Loki says.
"Uh... you know?"
Fuck.
"Most people do...yes?" Loki asks.
"Oh...Yes." You nod.
That was close.
Loki climbs into bed next to you.
"Well...goodnight." You say.
Be a gentleman. BE A GENTLEMAN.
"Good night S...Mortal."
You lay there in the dark. There was a handsome man next to you. A very SEXY, handsome man.
"Erm...Loki?" You ask.
"...Yes?" He replies.
You roll over and nearly scream, because he is already laying on his side facing you, staring.
"Sorry, did I alarm you?"
"N..No." You say.
This was a stranger...you let a stranger in your bed. This thought hits you like a ton of bricks.
"I am not going to hurt you." Loki tells you. "If anything...I could and would protect you."
Wait...was he reading your thoughts?
"I..I thought you were a..."
"A villain?" Loki finishes your sentence.
You sigh. "Yeah."
"I was...I am. Now because of my haste and silly plan to take over this realm...I must pay the price. I have realized this now...which is why tomorrow...I will turn myself in."
You are silent for a moment.
"What made you realize?"
You Sigyn.
Loki does not respond and you think he has fallen asleep.
You sigh. "What am I doing?" You whisper out loud.
But Loki was not asleep, no. He lay there pretending to be asleep as he watched you slowly drift off. Tonight would have been the first time you ever...slept together previously. Loki had done it, he had altered the past. Now all he had to was make you fall in love with him again.
You yawn as the morning light shines brightly into your bedroom. You had forgotten to close the curtains. You usually always remembered to...all of the sudden the truth hits you like a ton of bricks or... It all comes back to you...the TV Warning announcement, Loki's shadow in the kitchen... LOKI! You roll over and much to your disappointment he is gone. It's not like you really were together or anything but you wished he would have at least said goodbye.
You enter the living room, ready to flip on the TV and see some news flash that Loki had turned himself in. You jump. Loki is standing in the kitchen.
"Ahhh mortal, you awaken." Loki says as he stands in the kitchen. "Good, I am hungry." He sits on the couch. "Sorry for starling you...again." He apologizes.
You let out a nervous laugh. "It's...fine." You secretly were, for some reason, glad he did not turn himself in yet.
"So what does a great god like yourself eat?" You open the fridge.
"Ah yes, lamb or a smoked hog would do." He nods. You open the freezer.
"The closest thing I've got to that is a ham and cheese hot pocket, or uhh... hot dogs."
"You mortals eat dogs? That seems a bit barbaric..." Loki gasps.
That one made you laugh before, so of course Loki had to use it again.
You laugh. "It's not really a dog, it's...well I actually don't really know what a hot dog is..."
"I shall go with the pocket of ham and cheese...as disgusting as that sounds..." Loki demands.
"Alrightly..." You pop in two hot pockets and turn on the microwave. Then you join him on the couch.
"I thought you were going to leave." You say.
"I did. The streets are crawling with police and the avengers are scoping the area heavily." Loki replies without looking at you.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The timer on the microwave goes off. Loki jumps off the couch and looks around the room frantically.
Damn those things were loud, Loki had almost forgotten.
"Calm down, it's just the microwave." You roll your eyes but smile. You walk into the kitchen and pull out the two hot pockets.
"Here you are." You hand him his. He bites into it and a makes a face.
He also forgot how hot, hot pockets were.
"Hot!" He howls in pain.
"Yes, that's why they are called hot pockets...and why I cooked them..." You roll your eyes again.
Loki eyes you suspiciously before he attempts to bite into the hot pocket again. He takes small cautious bites this time. "This is actually... quite good." He says.
"See, we mortals have some good things." You smile. He smiles at you for a moment before quickly becoming serious again.
"You don't have to turn yourself in you know." You blurt out of no where.
"What?"
"I mean...I can protect...hide you. I can hide you. I already did last night."
"Perhaps..."Loki says quietly.
A few more days for her to fall for him, that's all he needed.
"Just think, I could hide you here. No one would suspect a thing! I hardly leave my apartment, except to go to work. My neighbors all know that I spend all of my nights alone either watching TV or reading. I keep to myself. No one would ever know!" You say in an excited voice.
Loki contemplates this. "If SHIELD or the Avengers find me here, they will arrest you." Loki looks into your eyes.
"So what? I have never at an adventure in my life. And I'd like to have one before I die!" You exclaim.
Oh Sigyn, if only you knew the half of it.
"So what you are saying is, you will risk your life to protect mine?" Loki still looks into your eyes.
"Yes." You reply. Loki is quiet for a moment.
"You are a strange mortal indeed."
"So you'll stay?" You grin.
"For now...but I will expect at least half of your bed chamber to myself."
"Deal." You wrap your arms around him and hug him. Loki is shocked but returns the hug. You feel something wet on your shoulder.
"Loki are you alright?" You ask releasing him from the hug.
Loki had gotten so caught up in the moment...he could not help but cry. He missed your embraces.
"Do not look at me!" He turns from you.
"Loki, it is alright to cry." You touch his chin and turn him towards you.
"I am sorry. No one has embraced me like that, or cared for me at all in a very long time." He sighs.
So maybe he wasn't so tough after all... "How are you so sure I care about you?" You say defensively.
It was like he could read your mind...freaky.
"I can see it in your eyes and you let me sleep besides you last night. You trust me even though I am a killer, You invite me to stay out of kindness and bravery. You risk your life to protect me, someone you hardly know and should fear. You know mortal, I may come to care for you... Your race is obviously below mine, but you seem different...You are smart, caring, funny... Strange...I never thought mortals were so...normal. And to think I almost destroyed them all..."
"Yea..." You swoon. "To think..." You look into his green eyes and without a warning he kisses you.
