Loki's POV
I open my eyes and suddenly I'm out of breath. It's like I've just waken up from a nightmare. As I catch my breath, I take a look around me. I'm in bed, but I don't quite recognized this place.

It's a really nice bedroom though. I notice the empty pillow next to me and then the other night stand. On top of it was her butterfly necklace. I almost jump out of the bed and I run out of the room.

Katelyn's POV
I hear loud steps from upstairs, like someone is running.
"Even dead, I can't have some silence!" I think and I continue to read.

But the steps didn't stop. Instead, they came closer, so I leave my book and I go check it out. But as soon as I stand up, I see Loki. He's staring at me frozen.

"Loki...?" I whisper

"Is this real?" he asks

"Oh my..." I run to him and I hug him. He hugs me back tightly and buries his face in my neck.

"I missed you so much" he sobs.

But then it hits me.
I pull away "Wait... No. If you're here, it means that..." I say

"Yeah..." he replies

"No, no, no, you're supposed to live. It's only been 5 weeks--"

"No, Katelyn, it's been 5 years" he corrects me.

I look at him shocked. "5 years?". He nods and a tear escapes his eye.
"What happened?" I ask as I wipe his cheek

"It's a long story. But I think it was for good" he answers

"Were you the hero?" I ask proudly

He chuckles and looks down
"I did my best" he admits

"I'm sure" I reply and he smiles.

"I fucking missed you" he says and hugs me again. But this time tighter than ever.
"I wasn't ok. I'm sorry, I know I promised to but I couldn't" he admits

"Did you try your best everyday?" I ask

"I did" he answers

"Then I'm good with it" I reassure him.
"How have the others been?" I ask as we pull away

"It's complicated after the whole Thanos thing. He erased half of the universe so many people turned into dust. They were trying to reverse it, but we'll get into the details later" he explains

"Right, we have plenty of time here"

"Here... where exactly are we?" he asks

"I'm not sure, but I didn't bother to find out. I guess it's whatever you believe it could be. It's kind of different for everybody, but it's peaceful and quiet most of the time. A happy place..."
"Oh, also we're not alone. For example, Frigga was here this morning"

"My mother is here?" he asks as tears form in his eyes again

"Yes. She remembered me from that day we met on Asgard and we've been hanging out here and there. I swear she's the sweetest person I've ever met"

"You two are going along?" he wonders

"Of course. And she's been telling some things about you..." I answer

"I'm sure they're all lies" he says immediately

"You stabbed Thor when you were 8?"

"Ok, that may be true..." he admits
"But that's how I show love. I mean you 'killed' me when we first met and then I stabbed you!" he reminds me

"But that wasn't when you were 8!" I insist

"Oh come on, like you weren't already sucking magic from weak witches by the time you were 10" he argues and I look at him speechless, pretending to be offended.
"I read your journal. Great idea by the way, to write down all the details of your life so anyone could find them" he says ironically

"Only I could read them. Until I gave you access. I just forgot about the journals" I admit embarrassed.

He smiles and kisses me.
"I also found some things about me in there, things that you never told me" he whispers next to my ear

"Oh no..."

"For example, you wrote about our first meeting on Asgard. How did you phrase it...? Oh yes. 'He was good look, it's a shame I had to kill him'. Or my other favorite 'He stabbed me but I wish he got inside me a different way'"

"That's not going away any time soon, is it?" I ask

"No way" he answers and kisses me.
"I didn't know you wanted it that bad" he jokes

"Speaks you? Remember the choice I gave you? 'Choke me or make me cum' What did you choose?" I wonder knowing the answer very well

"And look where that got us" he says

"Yeah... I wouldn't change a thing" I reply and I kiss him

"Nothing? Not even killing me?" he asks offended

"Nothing" I insist and I kiss him over his smile.
"I love you" I say

"I love you too. Today and forever".
