Chapter 12: Once Upon A Dream
Okay y'all. I need to say things.
1. You'll have to scroll past the cute lil pic, but I have to say, this is the most beautiful pianist of our age that I've heard. His name is Kyle Landry (hope I spelled that right!) Y'all should check out his YouTube channel!
2. I am frEAKING obsessed with the pic above! It's too adorable! I love it!
3. Sorry that it's been a while. I meant to say this in my last chapter, but it didn't save right so this wasn't in there. I was traveling from my home in Stillwater OK to Tennessee to see me sister, so I haven't had a bunch of time to write! I hope y'all can forgive me!

"See ya Thor!" You called out as Thor left the apartment after eating an amazing dinner of Fettuccine Alfredo that you had so graciously cooked for them. Thor and Loki both liked it, so you counted it as a victory.
"I'll see you later Lady (Y/N)! Tomorrow right? You're not taking a day off?" Thor asked kindly.
"Nope. I'm not taking any days off. I'll be there tomorrow morning!" You reply.
"Alright. Goodbye Lady (Y/N), Loki!"
"Bye Thor!"
"Goodbye Thor."
When the door closed and Thor had left, you turned to Loki and smiled.
"So, what do you want to do? We could watch a movie, binge a show, or just hang out. Whatever you want to do." You ask as you head to the couch.
"I think a movie sounds nice. From the way you described them, they seem quite intriguing." Loki answered with interest clear in his eyes.
"Okay. But what to watch? You probably don't want to start any series or anything like that tonight, so how about a Disney movie? They're classics that have to be watched by any and all, they're mostly stand-alone movies, and they are just so cute and perfect." You suggest, thinking aloud. The way you looked when you thought aloud make Loki all fuzzy on the inside. You were just so adorable with your furrowed brows and sharp, concentrated, eyes.
"Aren't they childish movies? From what I've heard of them, they are movies made for the young." Loki replies, not necessarily against watching a Disney movie, just curious.
"Yes. They are considered 'children's movies', but even adults get a good laugh out of them, or a pang of nostalgia, or just happy memories of watching them as kids, so everyone appreciates them really." You reasoned as you answered, convincing Loki to agree.
"Alright. Which one shall we watch?"
After a while of describing each movie without spoiling anything, you and Loki were arguing about watching Sleeping Beauty.
"The plot sounds uninteresting and boring. It just doesn't seem worth my time." Loki stated in a rather aloof tone, taking a second to look at his nails as he spoke.
"Oh come on! It's an amazing movie that has some of the most beautiful music of any Disney movie! It's got no parallel. Please give it a try? It's one of my favorites." You plead quietly, giving your best puppy dog eyes, your wings drooping and moving around you a little, to make you seem vulnerable, much like a puppy. Loki was still seemingly fascinated by his nails.
He was about to give his final contradiction when he looked up from his hand. Why did he have to look from his hand? He could have won the argument if he hadn't looked up to see your wide, pleading eyes and those soft, snowy-blue, wings that were barely wrapped around you to make you look smaller. Your oversized, grey, sweatshirt didn't help either. His heart melted a little at the sight of it. His eyes went wide and his knees went a little weak at the sight of you so helpless-looking. He had to use every ounce of self control to keep his mouth from gaping at the cute sight before him.
'Curses.' He thought, "Why does she have to be so adorable when she pouts!"
He finally conceited.
"Alright. We can watch this Sleeping Beauty. It had better be worth my time." Loki says with a half-hearted warning.
"Yay!" You happily shout, your wings fluttering as you hop up and down. Loki chuckled quietly at your sudden change of mood. It was cute to him.
You grabbed the movie and put the cassette tape into the VCR and waited for it to play. As you were waiting for the movie to start, you popped some popcorn and threw in some M&Ms.
You sat next to Loki on the sofa, your wings folded comfortably behind you. The movie started once you turned off the lights in the living room, leaving the kitchen lights on behind you.
During the movie you watched intently almost unaware of your surroundings. However, you didn't fail to feel Loki's arm wrap around your waist when Once Upon A Dream started.
It reminded him of you. You seemed as if from a dream. Sure, you hadn't always been the kindest soul to him, but once he got to know you, and you showed him your kindness and sweetness, he felt like you were perfect. He almost dared to say he loved you. Almost. He didn't want to admit that to himself yet. He had known you for around two weeks and he had already fallen for you? Unthinkable. So he didn't admit it. He kept thinking of you as a friend, despite how much his mind screamed for more.
When the movie was over, you were snuggled into his shoulder, with one wing on your lap, and another spread along the unused space on the sofa.
You yawned and stretched your arms, being careful to not punch Loki in the face, as the credits rolled.
"That was actually a rather enjoyable movie. I liked it." Loki reviewed as he returned his arm to his side.
"See! I told you it was great!" You paused for a second, "Welp, I'm going to get ready for bed-" you were cut of by your own thought.
"You don't have any pajamas do you? We need to get you some clothes." You think vocally.
"No need to worry about that my dear." Loki stated, not missing the interested twitch in the wing when he called you dear. He snapped his fingers and was in green pajama pants and a loose grey v-neck. It was actually kind of, really attractive to you.
You stared for a half a second before you spoke again.
"Alright then. We're still going to have to buy you some clothes." You state strongly.
"Okay. I'll be in my room. See you in the morning."
Loki says as he heads down the hall to his room.
"Alright. Don't hesitate to get me if you need anything at whatever hour of the night." You call back to him as you enter your own room.
When you were behind your closed door, you put on a piano cover of Once Upon A Dream that you adored. You made sure that it would repeat once it finished, so you didn't have to worry about changing the song or hitting replay. You were in the mood, so why not?
As you got dressed in your pajamas you sang.
Once you had on your loose white top and black pajama pants with snowmen all over them, you continued to sing, only to be interrupted by a soft rapping at your door a little while later.
You opened the door to find Loki on the other side.
"Hey. What's up?" You ask cheerily. Your wings subconsciously raised a little with happiness at seeing him.
"Nothing much. I was just distracted by your voice."
That was new. Yes, he had heard you sing before and mentioned that he thought your voice was beautiful, but this was almost too flirtatious.
"Oh. Okay. Do you want me to stop?" You ask timidly, looking down, wings falling ever so slightly.
"No, no. I wanted to join you. I believe the song was a duet? Yes?" Loki stated, knowing full well of the blush that was turning your cheeks rosy, and smirking at it. That smirk was hiding his nerves of your possible refuse.
"Y-yes. It is." You say quietly, trying to hide the blush on your face.
By now the song had restarted and Loki had made his way into your room.
He grabbed your hand gently with his right hand and took your waist with his left. He started to sway with the music as you looked at him questioningly.
"Sing for me?" He asked, and you obliged, finding yourself unable and unwanting to say no.
You started to sing softly. Loki reveled in your voice and joined in where appropriate for the duet as he lead you in a waltz around your room.
You move in time with him, dancing as you were taught years ago while singing with him. Your wings moved along with you, making Loki admire them, and you further. Every once in a while your wings would wrap around him and brush the back of his neck, sending shivers and goosebumps down his spine from the soft touch.
You were surprised by how smooth and gentle his voice was. It was like silk and satin. Looking up to his eyes, you saw him already staring down at you.
Your (Y/E/C) eyes met his forest greens softly as you both stared happily at each other.
Loki move his hand from yours and rested it gently on your cheek. Your hand, that had previously been in Loki's, moved to hold his wrist softly as you both began to lean into each other.
Loki's cool lips were just over yours, his eyelids closed as well as yours, and your bodies nearly touching with your wings wrapped around him, when the ringtone you had assigned to Fury rang out across the room, snapping you back into your senses and reality. You quickly realized what you had been doing and separated yourself from Loki's hold in a jerk as you went to answer the phone, filing your wings tightly behind you as the fidgeted nervously.
"Yes sir." You answered as you turned from Loki to talk to your director. Partly from want of a feeling of privacy, but mostly of embarrassment.
In his mind, Loki was shouting and screaming every curse he knew to Fury with such rage that Thor's thunderstorms seemed like child's play. On the outside, however, he only shot pointed glares at the cellphone that was against your ear, slowly destroying in his imagination it with tiny daggered glares. He was so close! So close, and Fury had to go ruin what was probably going to be his only chance to show you how he felt! And with a stupid phone call no less! He had accepted the fact that he loved you while watching the movie. He didn't want to hide it any longer. It was too much.
When you hung up you tuned and started speaking without really looking up.
"Uh, sorry about that Loki. Fury just wanted to-" you stopped speaking when you looked up to see that Loki had left your room and closed your door behind him.
You sighed and sat, criss cross on your bed with your head in your hands.
You were so close.
