Heart of Mischief

Revealing What's Within

Loki would visit every chance he got. Sometimes he would have to project himself because he could not see me in person at that moment. I think I was falling in love with him. One night, I sat on the balcony for Loki. Someone grabbed my waist then started caressing my neck.

"Tell me what you're feeling right now." Loki whispered. 

"I feel...free." I turned around and saw the confusion drawn on his face. "I feel free from the curse and everything when I am with you, Loki."

"That is untrue," Wait, what did he mean? I was not lying. "You are not free from me. You're still in my grasp." He smirked and I laughed because that was the truth. I wrapped my arms around his neck. 

"And you're not from me either. I do not plan on letting either." I smiled and giggled but he frowned. 

"Maybe you should Embla." I unwrapped my arms from his neck, with so much confusion swimming in my head.

"Why Loki? Tell me!" He turned around with his head down. I stormed in front of him to see him, the true him. His skin was dark blue with deep markings and his eyes were bright red.

"I told you I am a monster." I wasn't afraid of him. 

"You are a frost giant, not a monster Loki. I am not afraid of you. I almost tried to kill you remember?" I grinned trying to make him feel better. He grinned a little as he turned back to normal. "Loki, look at me. No matter what you are, I will not leave your side." He stared at me with blank eyes.

"Don't leave me Embla. Promise me." 

"I promise." He smirked at me.

"Good because I think I love you." My heart pounded hard against my chest. "I-I love you too." I stuttered. 

"Why did you hesitate when-" I cupped his face in my hands and shut him up with my lips. "What were you saying?" I asked, smiling. 

"I love you." I giggled as he just stared at me. He decided t ostay in my chambers with me, and we fell asleep into each other's arms. In that moment, everything was perfect. Loki was beyond perfect as he slept with ease.
