I knew that the clock would reach midnight in the next ten or twenty minutes, but I still lied in this bizarre state of warm and comfortable exhaustion while not being really tired. I snuggled up to Loki's naked chest, felt his hand caressing my back and heard the crickets through the open window. Something was in the thick summer air that kept us awake.
Despite it being night I could see his features clearly, or more like the half of his pale chest on which my head lay. I smiled and slided with my hand over it. Pleasantly cold as usual.
He inclined his head and I looked up to him. His green eyes that seemed almost grey in the silver light gleamed lightly.
"It will rain soon", Loki whispered.
And as he spoke, the sound of featherlight droplets hitting grass and leaves came from outside.
I smiled. "How did you know?"
"You learn to get a feel for that when you grow up with Thor", he murmured.
"Is that him?", I asked.
Loki listened, then he shook his head. "No, that is just a light summer rain."
We listened for a minute, then I looked up to him again.
"You know", I said, "in the time in which we weren't together, I used to watch these movies every day. You know, the ones that Shield made to make the regular people think we don't exist. I watched every step of yours and I wondered if I would ever meet you or be in your arms. Do you know what I most liked?"
Loki looked at me, his pupils deep pools of pitch black. Infinite, and curious, and filled with an emotion I couldn't identify.
"The part I most liked", I continued, "was when you was calm. I know the time in Asgards cell wasn't great for you, but you know when you lay on that bed, throwing that cup into the air, you had such a calm thinking face. It was beautiful. It is beautiful today." I lifted my fingers to trace his jawline. "Really, what is there that is not to love?"
His gaze wandered over my face. "I never thought I would meet such a beautiful human like you. I am so glad." He paused and the corner of his mouth twitched upwards. "Tell me, what else did you love about me in the movies?"
I laughed quietly. "That mischievous smile of yours."
He smiled and the mischievous sparkle appeared in his eyes.
"Oh my god", I said and buried my head in his chest. "You can't just do that. Do you know how many times I just fell to my knees in front of the tv?"
He laughed. "I like that."
"I know", I chuckled.
"Hmm", he said and caressed my back with his fingertips. Goosebumps ran down my spine. "What else did you like? Did you crave me? And how did you feel when we first met?"
I snickered. "You really love hearing that, don't you? You already have a god complex. If your ego would be any bigger it wouldn't fit into your head." I giggled. "I will not make that worse. Or ... not this night."
"Oh, what a pity", Loki chuckled a little disappointed. "Can I at least have a kiss?"
I smiled and lifted my head. But I couldn't reach his lips so I placed a kiss on his chin.
"Wow, that was unromantic", he said with a smirk on his face.
"I am not unromantic!", I protested.
He laughed in response.
"Gods, you are such a tease", I sighed happily. I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

I got the idea for this oneshot while I stood in the pouring summer rain after a ten period long school day today, waiting for my mum to pick me up. It wasn't very comfortable, and I was cold after a few minutes, but the feeling still was special :) Got into the bathtub afterwards. Would really recommend it.
