Valentine's Day (Mini-series) [Loki]

It was Valentine's Day, and Loki had invited you to Asgard for a week. He wanted to show you how he was brought up, and knew you had a passion for elegant things.

You had woken up to a bouquet of Asgardian  flowers that looked a cross between a rose and a daisy, and were naturally a metallic gold colour. Soon after Loki had brought you breakfast in bed - or more like 'banquet in bed' - and he was now escorting you to the palace gardens.

Loki had hired a personal tailor to make you multiple dresses to match his armour so that everyone in Asgard knew you were his. So you were currently wearing one of your favourites: a lavish green gown that reached your feet complete with gold embroidery and small gold embellishments with Loki's crown branded onto them.

He held your hand as you both entered the lush green gardens. Although you were surrounded by a multitude of green, Loki still stood out as the most attractive thing here.
The flowers in Asgard were like nothing you had ever seen before; many were metallic colours and some even appeared to glow. You gasp in awe at the otherworldly beauty of it all.
"I have deemed you beautiful many times before, my lady, but right now, amongst the flowers of my homeland, you look absolutely ravishing."
You blush at his compliments, looking down at your golden plimsoles.

He notices your sudden change in demeanour and places an elegant finger under you chin, lifting your gaze to his.
"Do not be shy. I merely speak the truth."
He smiles at you before gently placing his lips upon yours. The kiss is soft and sweet and you're quite surprised at how gentle Loki was being, usually he was so forward and dominating.

When the kiss broke, he smiled down at you adoringly, before linking his arm into yours and continuing the stroll through the gardens.
As you wandered through the different ferns and foliage, you noticed a large circular fountain in the centre of a ring of deep purple flowers. They appear to look like carnations, but the petals seem wider than they should be. Asgardian flowers are very unusual.

You both walk into the centre and gaze at the fountain. The ring of flowers surrounding the two of you almost created a protective circle, closing the pair of you off from the rest of the world. You both stand in silence, watching the mesmerising water fall from the top tiers down to the pool at the bottom.
You are just about to turn to Loki to express the utter beauty of the whole situation when you see he has gone.
Or so you think.
You then notice he is in fact kneeling on the floor. More specifically, he is down on one knee on the floor.
He is looking up at you with a small black velvet box in his hand.
You gasp, understanding the situation instantly.

"My dearest, (y/n). I love you with all of my heart, and that is something I never thought I would be capable of. Therefore, I do not want to lose this, I do not want to lose us. So, I was wondering - on this Midgardian holiday in which you celebrate the God of Love - if you would do me the honour of becoming my Queen?" He asks, sincerity lighting up his face as he popped open the box.
On the black satin cushion inside the box sat a gold band proudly holding a square cut emerald stone.
You look back up to Loki, who's eyes are twinkling the same shade of green as the ring; nervous anticipation is also swimming in them.

"Of course I'll marry you!" You shriek in excitement.
Loki quickly hurries to his feet as he takes your left hand in his own. His agile fingers slip the ring over the suitable finger and you both take a moment to admire the stunning burst of colour against your pale skin.
You tear your gaze away from the delicate ring to throw your arms around Loki. His pulls you off your feet and spins you in a full circle before placing you back down to attach his lips to yours.
The feelings of delight and excitement fill the kiss and it creates a new sensation between the two of you.
You were engaged to Loki Laufeyson!

As you pull away, Loki keeps his hand on your cheek, gently caressing it with his thumb.
"I want to tell the whole of the nine realms this wonderful news, my dear." He speaks softly.
"Maybe we should start with your family." You giggle.
Loki smiles back brightly.
After all of the pain he's been through, he was now truly happy and you were the cause of that.
Loki had so much to thank you for, and he knew you would never understand just how much you meant to him.
