Hey guys! So I know I said you shouldn't expect anything for at least a couple of weeks, but I felt really guilty, so I rushed on (in my holiday!) and did a small chapter with a surprise, as a thank you to all my followers on Tumblr and on here, and the reviewers that inspire me to keep on giving!

Sorry for all the fluff, just a time-filler whilst I bask in the rain of Northern Britannia :) Oh btw, Loki's going to get very dark in the next few chapters, beware.

I'm not sure what rating this chapter will be, it's not graphically detailed smut so I suppose a T. Please tell me if it should be an M!

So thank you all tres tres much for your support, hope you like my little surprise for you all!

Haunt me Chapter 15~ Sweet Sincerity

Loki POV (Surprise!)

After our love-making had finished, she fell asleep, intimately close beside me. She curled herself into my chest, and I wrapped my arms around her and leant my head on hers. Her breathing slowed, and I could tell that in six minutes she had fallen asleep in my arms. I chuckled at her- she could be feisty and harsh at times, but she could also be soft and warm. She murmured incoherently, mumbling and muttering and shifting slightly. I tensed under her, worried she was having another nightmare. However, after several long minutes of this, she settled down and made no sound. Relaxed, I synced my breathing with hers, and fell asleep beside her. As the darkness faded and I began to dream, I could hear Thor.

"Father, I know what the punishment must be. I know it! But can you not reconsider, even if a favour to me?" Thor's arrogant voice boomed and made my eardrums rattle.

"Thor, you know the rules that bind Asgard. If we were to tweak these rules, the nine realms will surely ridicule us." Odin responded, although I could tell from his tone that he was conflicted over what was mentioned.

"Father, perhaps you should consider it as a way of apology for lying to him." Thor reasoned. I couldn't see them, only hear them- my vision was raven black. The silence that followed Thor's sentence reeked of consideration. It dawned on me what they were discussing, just as Odin spoke again.

"Very well. Loki will not be culled by higher forces, but he is hereon banished from Asgard, and he is to live out the foreseeable future under Midgard's protection and watchful gaze. They may decide what to do with him, except kill him. He is to be imprisoned by the SHIELD department you speak of often." Odin's tone was riddled with command, and judging by the volume of his voice he was speaking to more than just Thor. I snapped my eyes open, unwilling to listen to my "relatives" discuss my punishment. The room was so dark I couldn't see, even with my sharp eyesight. I could feel Sigyn's even breathing on my chest, and that comforted me. I began to drift off, when I heard her whimpering softly in her sleep. Her breathing became shallow and fast, and I knew she was having a nightmare. I tried to calm her down by rubbing her arms soothingly, but to no avail. Knowing I couldn't bear to see her upset, I recalled a spell I had learnt out of boredom. Muttering the words, I appeared in her nightmare. The room spun as it shifted from the dark bedroom to her chambers in Asgard. I watched as her father hit her and pushed her into the wall, before he stalked out of the room. Shocked, I knelt by her weeping and cut form, and enveloped her with my arms. I explained to her that she was dreaming, and that I was going to use another spell inside the dream to change it to a pleasant memory. I showed her my memory of the lovemaking, and all the times we were content with each other, before leaving her dream to continue my own.

"I love you." I murmured again, finding the three vital words becoming easier and easier to pronounce each time I uttered it. I woke up suddenly once again, this time to a smiling Sigyn. Her breathing was steady once more, and she was warm. I chuckled before falling into a deep, dreamless yet pleasurable sleep.

"Loki… are you awake?" I woke to a whisper beside me. Her voice was so muted, and I realised if I told her that she had woke me she'd feel guilty, so I lied.

"Yes. What time is it?" I tried to control my voice and sound less groggy, but even magic couldn't stop it.

"Are you sure I didn't wake you up? It's 8:30." She said, her voice a little stronger as she propped herself up on her elbows.

"Yes, I am positive. I just haven't spoke in a while. How did you sleep?" My tone remained soft.

"I slept very well… I had a good dream. Well, it started off horrid but then something in the dream made it all better." Her eyebrows furrowed as she struggled to remember all the details. I smiled gleefully at her expression.

"What do you grin about?" She cocked her head slightly in query.

"I'm just happy to hear your dreams weren't terrible. You know I detest it when you're sad." I smoothed my fingers over her cheek delicately, and she practically purred under my touch. Suddenly I felt myself awaken when she purred- I struggled not to ravish her again. I saw the paradigm of the atmosphere change between us, as her pupils dilated and her breathing became shallow. My lips crashed against hers, and she pushed herself against me, earning her a small groan from me. I felt her quiver in anticipation beneath me, so my hands began to roam her body. I chuckled as her breath hitched when I caught her in an intimate place, and continued my quest. She moaned again, and excitedly I rolled on top of her and began to move upon her. She moaned faster, and I groaned and together we found our release. Perspiration trickled down her forehead again, as we once more made love.

"Those poor maidens…" She breathed teasingly. I laughed breathlessly as I struggled to regain my composure.

"Why? Am I good?" I asked slyly.

"Good is an understatement…" She murmured. My heart swelled with pride at her words- no one had ever told me that before. I'd loved and left.

"I love you so much Loki." Her outburst took me by surprise, and my eyebrows furrowed in sincerity at those words.

"Really?" I asked. I knew that she meant it, but it felt good to hear it anyway.

"Yes- I didn't realise it when we were children, but somehow I feel like I always knew I did. Thank you for guarding me in my sleep last night- I could feel the pain from the abuse father dealt me, and you took it away." She shut her eyes and smiled. She knew all along I had more to do with it than just appearing in her dream, I thought. My heart fluttered, and I sighed in content. Then she gently pushed my chest, her eyes wide once more.

"Well, I think we need to get up. Fury said he wanted to call a meeting, we have an hour to organise ourselves and be over there." She said. I could see the anguish in her bright blue eyes as she tore herself from me. Then, she padded out of the room, wearing nothing but the black satin duvet around her. Last night was such an adrenaline rush I did not even recall whose chambers it was we made love in. My eyebrows rose in gentle surprise to discover it was my own chambers. I chuckled once more, before putting on fresh clothes.

"I'll have a wash this eve." I muttered.

"You'd better!" I heard a yell from the bathroom upstairs. I laughed uncontrollably at the horror in her voice, before preparing us both a tasty breakfast meal.

So, did you like my lil' gift for ya? Hope you don't mind the fluffiness of this chapter, here's a quick warning to you all- Loki's going to get a bit dark after this, so look out for that!
