Chapter 23: Groom
As Loki stood behind the altar in his temple waiting for Kagome, he couldn't help but fidget with the fringe of the emerald green mantle decorating the table. Odin stood next to him, and when Loki discreetly tilted his head to get a better look at the old man, Odin's gaze immediately snapped to meet his son's. Loki felt his cheeks warm with embarrassment at being caught, and looked away.
"Do not be nervous, boy. It will be a quick ceremony; nothing but stuffy old formalities," he waved his calloused hand about nonchalantly, before chuckling softly. "She has been good for you, son. It would serve you well to treat her like your Queen."
Loki nodded gravely, "I will never stray." He promised solemnly. "Many tricks I have played over the centuries, but I could never hurt her." Odin laughed brashly, giving his son a firm clap on the back. Loki coughed a bit at the rough movement, and gave his father an annoyed look.
"My boy," Odin said with absolute fondness, "Your mother and I…" It was Odin's turn to look away with a flush of embarrassment, "Your mother and I are happy that you have recovered from your ordeals; we have missed your presence in our meal halls."
Loki felt guilty for the troubles he caused, but brushed the damning feeling away with the silent promise to continue to atone. "I have missed the boisterous meals as well," he admitted quietly.
"Just a few more days, Loki." Odin smiled, and he and Loki turned to look at each other. As Loki opened his mouth to reply, the heavy and ornate doors swung open with an effortless whoosh.
Kagome stood in the entranceway, gussied up in flowing robes of crimson and silken silver, and Loki was stricken silent by the consuming beauty of her presence.
Next to him, Loki heard Odin's soft sigh, "Are you ready, son?"
A joyous smile broke over Loki's face, "Yes, father. I am ready."
