“Go back to bed.”

Loki stands just a few feet away from the throne. His head and scepter are held high. In front of him, down the steps, is a creature you have never seen. It’s hideous, and it holds many weapons. Hostile. you think. Danger. Still, you approach Loki.

“I just want to check on you.” you whisper. Loki’s eyes seem hard, but you can see through them (you can see through him). There’s worry in them- Whoever this foe is, Loki clearly doesn’t want you near it. 

Loki suddenly pulls you toward him, his hand gripping the back of your nightgown so hard you feel silk seams rip. The creature sees you from behind, Loki keeps his eyes open and locked on it as he forcefully kisses you. When he pulls away, he places a hand on your stomach.

“Go back to our room, okay pet? You’re not just endangering yourself now.”

You knit your eyebrows, but play along. You squeeze Loki’s hand, and cradle your belly as you walk away.

As the doors to the throne room shut, you hear the creature laugh.

“You’ve got that one wrapped entirely around your finger.” it says.

“It’s a mutual feeling.” comes Loki’s cool response.

Then his scepter hits the floor, and you decide there’s no need to snoop anymore.

“You know I’m not pregnant, right?” you ask Loki when he finally climbs into bed. He laughs.

“Yes, I do.”

“And you haven’t called me ‘pet’ since we actually got together.” Loki props himself up on his hand and stares at you.

“I’m terribly sorry, dear. Asgardian foes… There’s an understanding. A code. None of us would ever attack a maiden with child… I must say, you have terrible timing. You had me quite nervous there. That was what I came up with to keep you safe.” you smile, and grant Loki a kiss on the nose, but don’t linger.

“I don’t need to be protected Loki.” you say. Loki grins.

“I know. But I’m a King now. It’s my sworn duty to protect all my people.”
