Authors note:YAY! another chapter! Thank you for your reviews. You are amazing!


I got up the next morning with a strange feeling through my body, was a kind of tingling. 'I suppose it's for the bond'. I turned in bed to look at Loki, he was still sleeping peacefully, I separated a few strands of his face and kissed his forehead. He was the most beautiful being I had ever seen before. 'He really looks tired'.

I got out of bed and got into the shower, while I showered I carefully analyzed the tattoo, the truth was it was beautiful and I loved it.

I put on a bathrobe and turned on the television, on the news they said that tonight there were many dispersed terrorist attacks around the world and no one knew who the culprit was. I didn't give much importance but it was very strange. I looked at my watch, it was 11:00 AM. 'What a pair of sleepers!' I laughed a little; I was usually the one that always slept more. I turned off the television and turned on the stereo, put the iPod on random and it played Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, turned up the volume and sang the song aloud.

"So close no matter how far, couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are… And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way, life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say… And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you. Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view… And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far, It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are… And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

I never opened myself this way, life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say… And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you. Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view… And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say, never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do, never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah, yeah…

So close no matter how far, couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are… No, nothing else matters"

I finished singing and the next song was Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers, one of the songs that most cheered me up when I was depressed because I mentally remembered the video and began to laugh alone. Today wasn't one of those depressed days.

The next song made me laugh even more, was Lord of Lies by Týr, a song dedicated to Loki. I began to sing out loud while jumping around the room.

"See me rise, out of fact and fiction, sacrifice…
Raise your hands for my love and legend of these lands
"

At one point I noticed joy running through my body, but not from me, was going to turn around when Loki's hands settled on my hips and he kissed my neck.

- ''Oh... Good morning! I already thought I was going to have to call the tow truck to get you up from bed''.- I joked.

Loki turned me around and kissed me gently on the lips, I felt his happiness through my body and that made me smile to his lips.

- ''You seem in good spirits''.- I said happily.

- 'I confess it is the first time in ages that I am completely happy'.- He said as his lips descended through my neck.- 'I think it's because of a certain redhead'.

- ''Then we shall celebrate it''.- I said blushing and letting out a small laugh.- ''Kari is still sleeping so, how about if we going to the supermarket and preparing a memorable breakfast?''

- ''I like the idea''.- Loki said before kissing me again.

When separated we were dressed, he wore a shirt to matching his eyes and dark jeans that took breath away, I looked myself and my mouth fell open, I had a slight modern cut emerald green dress and sandals. I looked at Loki narrowing.

- ''You said we had to celebrate. To celebrate something you have to be presentable, right?''.- he asked, a slight smile on his lips.

I grunted a couple of curses and we went to the supermarket, obviously we called slightly attention for going so arranged to shopping.

We were leaving the supermarket when I noticed that Loki tensed, I turned to look at him and saw that his clothes had become the Asgardian war armor, causing many people to run away from us. 'What's happening Loki?' Suddenly, there was a slight wind and Thor landed in front of us, Loki stood before me.

- ''Brother, I have not come to attack you. I have to talk to you''.- Thor said. - ''I come to warn you that Midgard is in danger''.

- ''Why do you think I'm going to help you?''. - Loki asked coldly.

I heard the familiar sound of repulsor rays and Iron Man appeared alongside Thor, removed the front side of his helmet and Tony Stark looked seriously at Loki.

- ''Because the problem is your old buddies, the Chitauri''.- Tony said.

I could see Loki pursed lips. 'Shit! So soon?' He thought bitterly.

- 'So soon what?'.- I mentally asked him.

- 'He wants the tesseract, he said that if I fail the plan I would regret it'.- Loki replied me.- 'Thanos has come for me'.

- 'Tell them'.- I said seriously. He looked at me and I nodded, he clenched his jaw muscles and I knew he didn't like the idea of proclaiming that this was also his fault and that he needed help to prevent the destruction of this planet. Loki sighed.

- ''It is Thanos, a being who I met in exile''.- he said, looking coldly at Thor and Tony.- ''He has come for the tesseract and kill me for not having delivered it to him''.

- ''So they only want you, the tesseract is safe in Asgard''.- Tony said.

- ''Do you think it will stop the destruction of your planet, man of metal?''.- Loki said with a cold smile.

- So the Chitauri were the perpetrators of the attacks on all those cities, right?. - I asked looking at Tony.

- ''Right. S.H.I.E.L.D called me this morning all hysterical scolding me for not being reachable yesterday which, by the way, what a rode you built''.- he said looking at Loki and looked back at me.- ''They also wanted to conceal the facts to the media preventing the panic spreading but we must act soon because the Chitauri are not walking with little girls, you know''.- Tony replied.- ''By the way, I'm glad to see you again. You are not returning my calls''.- He continued winking at me.

Loki tensed further and Tony put on his helmet and raised his hands quickly.

- ''Just kidding, just kidding. No need to be so sensitive about your girl, big man''. - he said nervously.

- ''Let us stop trivialities''.- Thor said.- ''Do you know where Thanos can be now?''

- ''No, but surely he is around, looking for me''.- Loki replied.- ''Do you trust me after what happened yesterday?''.- Loki asked with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes and cursed Loki's need to tease Thor. Tony raised his helmet again; spoke over the intercom with S.H.I.E.L.D requesting that Natasha and Clint were needed ASAP and to try to locate Bruce. The Avengers were needed again if Thanos intended to destroy the earth.

- ''Tony, tell them I need a favor''.- I told Stark.- ''I want them to take my sister away from here to a safe place and, when I say safe, I mean if the whole fucking world dies I want her alive''.

Stark relayed it to S.H.I.E.L.D and they agreed to take Kari in a Quinjet that would arrive along with Natasha and Clint.

- ''What about Bruce?''.- I asked.

- ''He's untraceable and they are doing everything possible, I suppose he already smell something that is happening and he is coming soon to lend a hand as the time that your boyfriend failed of mastering the Earth and stuff''.- Tony replied me with a smile.

- ''If I were you, I would cease seeking his tickles''.- I warned him.

- ''Come on! We're on the same boat now, no need to be so susceptible with the fact that we kicked his ass last year''.- Tony continued.

I looked at Loki and I noticed he was getting angered.

- 'Don't follow his game, you know how he is'.- I said to Loki.

Loki looked at me with a mischievous grin and I knew that he was going to ignore me.

- ''The only one who kicked my ass, as you say, and it was not literally, was the man beast''.- Loki replied taking a step towards Tony. He started to get nervous again and returned the helmet to its place.- ''Are you afraid of me, man of metal?''

- ''No, just taking precautions''.- Tony replied taking a step backwards.

But he stayed completely still noticing that he collided against something, actually against someone. He turned his head a little and found a projection of Loki who was pointing a dagger under the neck, at a critical point. Iron Man raised his hands defeated.

- ''Okay, you win. Oh, mighty lord''.- Tony said in fearful tone.- ''I won't criticize or make jokes about you''.

- ''I like that''.- Loki replied satisfied, the projection disappeared.

- ''Did you have to do it, right?''.- I asked to Loki. He looked at me with raised eyebrows in an innocent gesture.- ''Anyway you asked for it, Anthony''.- I told Tony, pointing at him.

We hear police sirens in the distance; I hadn't realized how much we had drawn attention in broad daylight. I muttered a curse.

- 'Let's go to your home until S.H.I.E.L.D arrive. I'll hide us'.- Loki told me and I nodded.

He summoned a sort of black cloud around us and we went way home, taking advantage of this moment.

- ''They will arrive here in about an hour, they say that we have to go to Hotel Carris Beiramar''.- Tony informed us as we stepped on my elevator.

- ''Okay, that is only 3 minutes from here''.- I said.


We entered into my apartment and we found a newly awakened Kari glaring at us with sleepy eyes until she realized what she was seeing.

- ''Holly bitch!''.- she exclaimed.

- ''No doubt she is her sister''.- Tony laughed as he took off his helmet.- ''They have the same kind of charisma''.- then he fell silent, listening to what sounded background for the stereo. Back in Black by AC/DC.- ''And has good musical taste, I like her''.

She blushed and ran back to her room.

- ''Oh, how lovely!''.- Tony said.

- ''Don't you dare to laugh at my sister or I'll cut your testicles''.- I threatened him.- ''Well, you can get comfortable. Anybody want coffee or something?''.- I asked.- ''I need coffee''.- I mumbled heading to the kitchen.

- ''I want a coffee''.- Tony said, throwing himself on the couch.

- ''If you don't mind, I would like one, Yami''.- Thor requested me.

While waiting for the coffee machine to be ready I noticed that Loki was behind me, I turned and looked at him.

- 'Are you worried?'.- I asked. He stared at me, I approached him and he absently stroked my arm.

- 'Yes'.- he admitted.- 'Thanos is very powerful and If he comes with the Chitauri we are going to have problems'.

- 'I don't care'.- I said looking at those beautiful emerald eyes and began to give him little kisses on his lips, I noticed his mood began to lighten.

He put his arms around my waist and drew me close to him as we kissed; the desire appeared between us again. I heard a slight noise and I separated from Loki, catching Thor off guard, watching us in astonishment.

- ''E-Excuse me, did not intend to interr...''- Thor stammered uncomfortable, looking everywhere except at us.

- ''It's okay, Thor''.- I said, separating from Loki.

We had coffee in the lounge, Thor watched us puzzled occasionally, until Loki had enough.

- ''Do you have some problem "brother"?''.- Loki released acidly.- ''I'm starting to get sick by the way you are looking at us. If you have something to say drop it already''.

Thor gave a start and looked nervous, scratched his hair and sighed.

- ''It just seems strange to me, brother''.- Thor said softly.- ''You never get attracted of mortals and now... well...''

- ''Now he is intimating with one, isn't it?''.- I finished.

- ''Exactly''.- Thor said looking at me.- ''Since when, if not indiscreet, you're... eeehhmmm... together?''

- ''None of your business''.- he replied. I looked at Loki seriously and he growled softly.

- ''I really don't even know''.- I said without looking at Thor.- ''Let's say that Loki caught my attention since I saw him in Stuttgart, although he attempted to kill me''.- I remarked caustically.

Loki stared at me slightly surprised and so Thor and Tony did the same.

- ''So it was love at first sight, eh?''.- Tony said.

- ''Let us say attraction at first sight''.- I remarked with a smile, blushing slightly.

- 'And yet you did the tough on me? How cruel!'.- Loki told me in falsely hurt tone.

- 'You might result me attractive but you didn't do merits to earn my trust, smartass'.- I replied smiling.

- ''Can you two stop of mentally fucking each other and pay attention?''.- Tony asked in a tone between angry and amused.

I blushed more and Loki looked in a killer way. Thor also blushed a little at the indecent commentary.

- ''I think I'll talk to my sister. Don't destroy anything, okay?''.- I said getting up off the couch and heading to Kari's room.

I entered Kari's room and she startled, she was already dressed.

- ''Hello, midget''.- I said gently.

- ''That was Iron Man, right?''.- She asked nervously. I nodded.- ''How do you know him? Why is he here?''

- ''I know him because I fought by his side to defeat Loki last year''.- I said as I approached her.

- ''No shit, you were the ones defeating the alien attack!''.- she exclaimed.

- ''The attack was Loki's fault, we avoided it as I told you. And now we have another problem, another asshole will try to get us into trouble, so I need you to do something for me''.- I said stroking her hair.- ''I need you to be safe, some friends will come to pick you up shortly and will take you to a safe place''.

- ''No! I do not think...''- she began, but I cut her off.

- ''Loki won't let anything happen to me, Kari''.- I said.- ''It's decided and I don't care if you get mad, sweetheart''.

She put a face but ended up nodding reluctantly. I smiled and hugged her tightly.

- ''Come on, make a bag or so with your stuff''.- I whispered as I pressed her against me.

Someone knocked softly at the door, I went to open it and there was Loki, looking at me with some concern.

- ''They have already arrived, are at the hotel''.- he simply said.

I nodded and turned to Kari, who already had her backpack ready. We left the room, we all had face of concentration and seriousness. we went heading to the hotel without saying a word.


At the entrance of the hotel were Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Natasha and Clint, accompanied by a few soldiers of S.H.I.E.L.D.

- ''I promise you she will be safe''.- Nick told me, approaching as he looked at Kari.

Kari shrugged slightly intimidated by Fury and I passed an arm around her to reassure her, looked coldly at Fury.

- ''You better fulfill your promises''.- My voice was so cold that Fury stilled looking surprised.

- 'I love that aspect so serious'.- Loki whispered amused.- 'Although I think what I enjoy is when you use it against others, dear'.

- ''Kari, these are the men who will take care of you until things normalize again''.- I said to Kari, looking fondly at her.

She nodded and hugged me, turned to Loki and, to his surprise, she also embraced him.

- ''Take care of my sister, please''.- she said through tears.

Loki remained silent but smiled a little to reassure her. Nick Fury motioned to the two soldiers and they escorted Kari.

They took us to one of the meeting rooms and there we talked for hours about the Chitauri army, its strengths and weaknesses; also talked about Thanos and how little we knew about him. Loki commented that he knew that this being had been dating the death and that left us pretty discouraged.

At the end we develop a plan to draw Thanos attention, Loki would provoke him by the media to fight in Vigo, previously evacuated, and the battle would be fought here. At least that was what we expected.

- ''Well guys''.- Nick Fury said.- ''Now take rest and good luck tomorrow''.

I went to the room I shared with Loki but he was not in sight, but felt his presence near. So I concentrated, I mentally search him and I knew he was on the roof.

I reached the roof and Loki had his back to me, looking at the sky. His thoughts were mixed with each other at an amazing speed but in all was the feeling of worry, fear and guilt.

- 'Are you okay?'.- I asked stroking his back.

- 'No'.- he moaned raising his hands to his head and breathing fast.- 'You have bonded to me, supposedly to be safe. And I have achieved the opposite, I have condemned you to death'.- He groaned in frustration.

- ''I wouldn't want it any other way, Loki''.- I whispered and hugged him.

As we embraced I heard as he thought that he didn't want me to go to battle and began to think of any way to avoid me from going.

- ''I can hear you''.- I sang.- ''I'm going to battle, Loki. I'll be by your side''.

He let out a little laugh and kissed me on top of my head.

- ''Sorry, I had to try''.- he said, I could sense the smile on his lips.- ''So perhaps we should enjoy this beautiful night''.

We appeared in our hotel room, his lips glued to my own in need and I reciprocated the kiss in the same way, feeling his uncertainty and fears... 'Or are they mine?'

I headed Loki to the shower as we took off our clothes and we mimed and caressed mutually all over our body. Loki cornered me against the shower wall and we kissed passionately, my hands roamed his naked torso and he held me against his body as he opened the hot water tap.

I noticed his erection growing against my abdomen and an idea that came to my mind made me blush. Loki turned away slightly from me between confused and amused.

- ''What was that?''.- he asked with a lascivious smile.

I blushed violently and bit my lip, avoiding by all means look at Loki and to rethink that idea. I've never done anything like that. 'Why the fuck I thought that?'

- ''You might want to try a new game''.- Loki purred, biting my earlobe playfully.- ''There is always a first time for everything, min elskede''.

The tone of his voice gave me a chill through my body in anticipation and looked into those emerald eyes that had me hooked for so long. I sighed and bit my lip as my hands slowly descended his torso, then his abdomen and finally reached his manhood. He gasped softly to the contact and I began to stroke slowly, fearing to hurt him. Loki suddenly closed his hand on mine and I looked at him blushing as he increased the rate of the caresses and his face was the personification of lust and lasciviousness. I felt the pleasure I was giving him, and if that was not enough, the moans that escaped his lips were confirmation enough. With his other hand surrounded my waist, he approached me and began kissing my neck.

I hadn't realized that his hand was no longer on mine, it was caressing me, moving slowly through my back from the shoulder blade to the hip and began to stroke my gender, gently at first but then became its pace fastest since his desire was beginning to cloud our senses.

I removed my hand and he moaned in protest, but I smiled mischievously and, when he saw in my mind what had occurred to me now, he smiled too.

- ''I think I've corrupted your innocence''.- he purred.- 'But I love it'.

I didn't answer, I knelt before him and looked at him from my position, he stroked my cheek with his thumb.

- ''Are you sure?''.- He asked hoarsely.

I could perfectly feel the excitement that the idea of I what was about to do caused to him, I wanted do it but I was afraid of not doing well.

While looking at him I put my mouth to his cock and licked once, Loki's reaction was immediate, he stifled a gasp and I felt the pulse of pleasure that ran through his body with that simple gesture. I licked it again, this time more slowly and prolonged.

- 'By Yggdrasil Yami, you're driving me crazy with pleasure!'.- he said and groaned, confirming his words.

I introduced it in my mouth slowly and Loki let out a guttural sound that resembled more of an animal than a man, I began to take a fast pace, blinded by the pleasure I felt from Loki.

He took us to the bed at breakneck speed, I kept providing my attentions and I could feel the pleasure dominated Loki's senses, his breathing became more erratic and his body tensed with the imminent arrival of the climax.

Before that happened, he quickly pulled me away from his body, he laid me down on the bed and penetrated with passion but also there was another feeling, desperation. His mouth quickly found my right nipple and began to lick it and suck on it eagerly while his hand was focused on the other. It was too much pleasure, and just when I started to moan his name before the arrival of my orgasm, he panted hard announcing his own. We kissed, silencing our mutual moans and trembling with pleasure.

Loki separated a little and rested his head on my chest, I hugged him gently against me and I fell asleep instantly.


I woke up a couple of hours later alone in bed, and for a split second, I panicked until my eyes fell on the figure that looked absently out the window but that, seeing my distress, turned to me.

- ''Are you okay?''.- He asked in a whisper.

- ''That's what I was going to ask you''.- I said with a sigh.- ''I have startled when I didn't see you in bed and I thought you had been able to commit some stupidity unusual in you''.

He smiled weakly and lay in bed with me.

- ''I've been kicking around a certain idea since I found that Thanos was around''.- He confessed.

- ''Don't you dare''.- I hissed, grabbing his hair hard but without harming him.

- ''I'm too selfish to sacrifice myself that way, my love''.- He said, smiling widely. It was the first time he called me that out loud and I blushed slightly.- ''Besides it would mean get away from you and, as I said, I am very selfish and the last thing I want is just that''.

He took me by the waist possessively and nibbled my lips, causing a slight moan scape from them. I looked into his eyes and his mind conjured a thought that I wasn't expecting.

- ''We can't, Loki''.- I whispered pulling away a little from him.

- ''I do what I want, Yami''.- He said coldly. His gaze had darkened and I tensed involuntarily.- ''Let's go, let's forget Thanos and all of this. Together''.

- ''I won't do it, they are my friends and I won't flee like a coward just because you are afraid''.- I replied in a cold voice.

An intense rage came through me but not from me and I knew I had injured strongly Loki's pride. He clenched his jaw muscles to be controlled and breathed hard through his nose, brought me closer to him as a cold smile graced his features.

- ''I think you've forgotten something, darling''.- he hissed.- ''You're mine. You'll do what I say''.

I was surprised and hurt by those words, I felt my eyes filled with tears and looked at him directly.

- ''And you are mine. So you're going to do what I say''.- I replied in a firm voice, emphasizing the "I".

That caused a tumult of feelings in Loki, I managed to differentiate surprise, anger and impotence but there was love and affection.
At the end it seems that impotence won because Loki rose from bed and disappeared. I knew that he wasn't anywhere near but I also knew that he wouldn't commit any folly. I sighed and a solitary tear rolled down my cheek.

- 'Good night, my prince'.- I repeated the words I had said yesterday to him, when we bonded. 'How little lasted happiness. Fuck!'

I fell asleep hugging the pillow, immersed in a turbid and restless sleep.
