"How much more do I have to apologise?! I did not know Munnin would be so brutal towards you, the deal was to talk only" Odin repeats for the umpteenth time. Slamming his fist down on the breakfast table in the great hall.

For the past few days since waking up immortal, you've been ignoring Odin. Refusing to tell him anything about your time in Hell with Hela, and about the power you feel run through your veins.

You knew his pretend niceness was just to satisfy his curious mind. His compelled need to be nosey and his desire to seek knowledge was stronger than ever.

You loved torturing him with silence. Not giving in to his constant pressing.

You did however talk with Queen Frigga which was insightful, you learned that every God had abilities, each having a uniqueness of power.

She believes you were a magnet to magic even before you became immortal. Being able to set Fenrir free by removing the enchanted sword, to wielding Thor's mighty hammer shows the powers that be were drawn to you.

Odin knew your powers extended further than his as you were immune to Jotun skin. An ability he's never seen anyone possess.

It was unheard of.

The reason was unknown, and because it was mysterious it rattled Odin, the supposedly God of wisdom.

His mind was consumed with curious yearning, eager to no what powers were bestowed on you. So when you yet again refused to speak with him this morning he burst. He had to do something drastic.

"And again, I don't believe you" you argue

"We don't believe you!" Loki corrects

"Odin make this right. You have wronged Loki and his beloved since the very beginning. None of this would have happened if you had just let them be happy together" Frigga accuses

"And I'm making amends, yet she refuses to acknowledge my presence. Me! I saved her life, gave her a great power, made her immortal and yet I'm being ignored!....Shunned!....I am the ALLFATHER! I demand to be respected!" Odin yelled once more, puffing out his chest, his voice booming around the hall.

Frigga rolled her eyes "shouting demands will not get you anywhere" she replied sternly

You were trying hard to conceal a smirk, casually going about eating while Odin ranted on. It wound him up even more when you didn't react to his loud outbursts.

Even Loki kept his anger cool, he learned from you that not reacting was a better way to aggravate his father even more. And he loved it.

You peek up at Loki, catching his eye. He smiled smugly as he followed your lead with silent torment.

This was day three of learning to love Loki. Like a gentleman he remained patient, immediately giving you space, not crowding you nor being pushy. You were grateful for his consideration.

Yet, unbeknownst to you Loki was simply following the advice of Thor.

He acted cool, gentlemanly and patient, yet it was a great battle everyday not to give into his mad thoughts. Thoughts of him taking you by surprise, throwing you down on the bed and fucking you until you remembered him.

Loki convinced himself that if he could just fuck you over and over until your mind was crowded with only his image, until all you could comprehend was his stiff cock, then surely that would trigger lost memories of him? And if it didn't maybe his passionate, yet rough pounding would win you over?

He relayed his thoughts to Thor on a few occasions, but regretted ever confiding in him.

The idea was scrapped when Thor adamantly repeated the word no, warning Loki if he ever consider's the idea he'll swiftly tell mother, and feel her wrath.

Instead of sharing a bed with you Loki reluctantly gave you your own bedchambers, a grand room he filled with all your earthly possessions.

He hid his reluctancy well. You were blissfully unaware how much it crippled him sleeping away from you.

Each night he'd walk you to your chambers, hopeful  you'd welcome him in, instead he left saddened when the door always closed behind you.

He slept alone with only the memories of you, the ghost of you visiting him each night. Making sleep an arduous task.

He'd twist in the sheets as your image replayed in his mind. Some sweet, some loving, but most memories were of you entwined with his naked body causing him to have a painful erection that begged for release.

His cock longed to be buried deep inside you, a pleasure unlike any other. But mediocre satisfaction came only by his hand each night. Which only furthered his need for you.

As a way to win your heart Loki instructed a maid to bring you fresh flowers each morning. For three days, you've woke up to a vase filled with fragrant flowers. So far you've had roses, lilies and this morning sunflowers.

Breakfast was always with the family, Odin demanded it. And although you could've easily argued that order, you really wanted to keep peace between the Asgardian royals.

Being a new Goddess you really needed help and guidance from Frigga, especially with your bestowed Aesir magic.

"A ball! I will host a ball in your honour, introducing you as our new Asgardian Princess. A royal Goddess. Everyone who is important from the nine realms will be there" Odin chirped, commending himself for such a great idea.

A public display of affection? Odin really was desperate to please if he's showing his kindness and generosity in front of people.

Yet, excitement brewed within you. The thought of attending an Asgardian ball filled with other beings that occupy all other realms was just too fascinating to pass up.

You'd finally get to meet the many different people, not just read about them in your history book.

You heard Loki scoff, he was amused at his fathers feeble attempts to charm you. Odin so fraught with your silence he was willing to part with an enormous amount of wealth on a fancy ball.

Loki smirks convinced you're going to ignore Odin again and dismiss his offer. He felt self assured that you'd not want to attend a pompous ball.

Loki looks at you, a smirk at the ready. But his smirk turned to puzzlement as he watched you. Instead of you peeking back at him your attention was now on Odin.

"I accept" you say, staring at Odin

Odin grinned wide. You've never seen him smile so big, he actually showed teeth. It was strangely unnerving for a smile.

"Thank the Nords!" Odin exclaims

Your eyes flash to Loki, you notice he looks at you stunned. Never believing you'd agree.

"What? I like to dance... surely if we were in love you'd no that?"  you say, not meaning to hurt his feelings, but it did. You saw his face downcast.

Immediate regret tugged at your heart.

"I don't remember if we ever danced, so maybe this is our chance to make a new memory. We can dance together, me and you" you quickly add.

You felt relieved when he smiled, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes.

"I would love to dance with you darling, ball or not. Any time you wish to dance, I'm more than willing"

You grin, you've come to learn he was such a charmer. You like that about him.

"I hope you save me a dance Flower?"

You look towards the door and see Huggin walking to the breakfast table, just arriving back from his time away.

"Huggin!" you exclaim, standing up and running over to him.

He instinctively grips you tight, his hug warm and welcoming. You lean back and look at his human face. His golden amber eyes still making you awestruck.

"Should I still call you Flower? I've heard you're now a Goddess" he beams

"Never stop calling me Flower, I adore it"

"Flower it is then" he grins warmly, looking into your eyes. His hand moves to your face, brushing a stray lock of hair behind your ear. You lean into his palm, missing your raven friend.

Loki watches in turmoil, jealousy bubbling up inside him. He hated that you remember Huggin but not him.

He gripped the silverware so tight they snapped in his hands, the pieces flinging in different directions, landing on the floor with and clank.

You turn around and see Loki struggling to remain composed. You may not remember him but you recognise the look of jealousy.

"I'm sorry for what you went through Flower, truly. I plan on making a trip to Munnin and giving him a piece of my mind" Huggin says angry.

You were surprised, usually Huggin was cool, but his tone was heated. He genuinely wanted to hurt Munnin for what he did to you.

"Don't bother yourself Huggin, leave him rot in his cell"

"You're still as sweet as honey even with all that Odin force running through you" he says amused

You hear Frigga and Thor chuckle at his comment, but can feel the heat of Odin's glare on the back of your head.

Huggin suddenly leaned in close, making sure only you could hear him. "Keep on Odins better side, I no what he did to you. But don't rise up, he has powerful allies" Huggin warns

You nod, understanding well. Keep your friends close but your enemies even closer. Behave around Odin, and everything will be sweet.

You heard the screech of chair legs scraping across the floor. You turn and see Loki stand abruptly, walking over to Huggin.

"Ah, Huggin. Good to see you're back" Loki says  extending his arms out, initiating an embrace

You look on surprised. Even Huggin stares bewildered.

Loki gripped Huggin into a big bear hug. Squeezing him tight.

"Loki, good to see you. I'm glad you're well again. I was worried for you" Huggin struggles to speak, Loki's firm grip compressing his chest

"Yes, I'm sure you were" Loki says squeezing even harder.

You see Huggin holding in a pained expression, not realising Loki has more strength since being cured by the immortality stone.

"Ok, Loki. You can let go now" you say sounding worried

He doesn't relent, continuing to squeeze

"Loki, let go!" you raise your voice slightly louder

"Loki! I also want an embrace" you say, hoping your offer of a hug will snap him out of his not so inconspicuous jealousy.

"Of course darling, my arms are all for you" he says, instantly letting go of Huggin.

He wraps you into his embrace, holding you tenderly. His hand holding the back of your head as you rest on his chest.

Your eyes look to Huggin, you see him rubbing down his arms, and stretching. You wince hearing his bones click back to together.

"Sorry" you mouth silently

"Did you like my choice of flowers this morning darling?" Loki asks in a low voice, still holding you.

"Sunflowers are my favourite, they remind me of a beautiful sunrise" you reply

"I'm glad they pleased you, if you like sunrise's maybe we could watch one together. I shall wake you early and we'll ride together. Do you approve?"

You smile against his chest. Your heart screams yes, but your head pushes anxiety in. Nervous at the thought of being alone with Loki.

You were worried to feel nothing should he kiss you as he'd surely sense it, furthering his pain.

Yet also, you were equally nervous if you did feel something. Because at the moment life was calm, people were behaving civil, a stark different to when you were in a relationship with Loki.

It seemed like someone or something always tried to tear you both apart, causing pain, suffering, turmoil. Do you risk the calmness, taking another gamble for love?

You pull back and look at Loki. He doesn't look in your eyes for as long anymore, always averting his gaze to a feature on your face instead. He can't bare not seeing your light, your missing love.

You smile as he stares at your lips "I approve Loki"

Love is worth the gamble.

Loki beams down at you "I can't wait sweetheart"

Loki feels you jump when the doors suddenly fly open.

'She keeps following me! She's annoying, she doesn't stop talking! All of them, each head having a conversation or a question. I can't bask in the sun in peace without the constant chatter! Cerby is tiresom!' Fenrir announces, speedily walking away from Cerberus who follows closely behind.

You laugh, seeing Cerby crawl up Fenrir's body and settle down within his fur. She's been inseparable from Fenrir as soon as you introduced them.

"She's just a pup Fenrir, she'll soon grow and be less chatty, and will want to bask as much as you" you reassure him

"Then you'll miss her talking with you Fenrir. Don't take for granted her affection. You'll crave it should it ever disappear" Loki adds

You feel Loki's eyes on you, his hands holding you just a bit tighter. You look at him, returning the gaze.

Guilt clutched you, more guilt.

"She's getting bigger, it's been three days and she's already twice her size" Frigga says, looking at Cerby curiously

You break away from Loki's grip, using Cerby as an excuse to distance yourself. Sometimes the guilt plucks at your heart too much, your empathy making you feel all the hurt Loki feels. It becomes overwhelming.

You look closely at a sleeping Cerby, "you're right! She certainly has grown"

'And she's heavier!' Fenrir says in annoyance

You smile seeing Cerby yawn, all three heads open their mouth simultaneously.

"I told you, she'll become as big as Fenrir" Odin says, slightly worried.

Fenrir's whole body vibrated, Odins words amusing him. 'She may be growing at an alarming rate but she'll never be as big as me!' He boasts.

"Well we'll soon see. It seems hellhounds grow faster when out of hell" Loki says

You suddenly remember Hela's words "Hela did say time is different in Hell" you announce

Odin suddenly sits up, all ears "Oh, what else did she mention?" He asks as though merely intrigued, but you knew he was desperately curious and hoped you'd continue.

"Quite a lot. Quite....a...lot..." you say smiling, walking away from the conversation.

You could hear his body slump in dejection as you strutted towards Queen Frigga.

"Are you ready Dear?" She asked smiling

"Oh yes, very much so"

Everyone looked on in wonder as Queen Frigga linked arms with you guiding you to leave the hall.

You hear Loki clear his throat, a clear signal to his mother. He wants to know where she's taking you.

Frigga turns, seemingly to address the family, yet looks directly at Loki. "I'm spending some quality time with the new princess of Asgard" she smiles, taking your hands in hers "I'm hopeful that one day, I can say quality time with my daughter....not daughter in-law, I find this in-law stuff nonsense" she laughs.

Your eyes immediately flit to Loki, then back to Frigga. You caught a smile on his face before looking away.

"Shall we go?" you say smiling nervously, wanting to leave quick before the knots in your belly got bigger.

Frigga nodded, guiding you towards the door. You felt eyes on you as you walked away. You urged yourself not to look back, to just walk out of the door and you almost did it, almost.

You peered back, and sure enough Loki was watching you. His eyes linking with yours, this time not breaking away. You see his lips move, mouthing words with no sound.

You felt your heart skip a beat as you read his lips.

"I love you"

And then Odin spoke which broke the hypnotic gaze, and suppressed the butterflies that fluttered in your belly.

"Don't forget my Queen, I will need assistance with organising the ball. Do not take all day lallygagging about with menial things. We have an extravagant dance in honour of our new Princess to plan" Odin's voice trailed off as Queen Frigga pushed you out of the doorway, not bothering to respond to her King.

———————————————-

"Try again dear, you're doing so well" Frigga praises

"Oh please no, I can't bare to cause you more pain Queen Frigga" you say in turmoil.

"Ah ah ah, how many times today do I have to correct you. It is Frigga. Royal etiquette is not needed when addressing me.... and besides, the pain is minimal, more like a tickle, you really are doing so well"

You watch as Frigga takes a sharp dagger, and runs the blade across her palm. The dagger slicing through her skin cleanly.

Once again she doesn't wince, not even when you take her hand and begin your novice healing.

For the past few hours you've been practising your magic with Queen Frigga. She was eager to train you in healing, a skill she knew you'd master in no time.

"Are you sure I'm not hurting you?" you ask again for the tenth time

"Dear, I assure you I feel nothing which in itself is odd. Healing does tend to cause pain, from mild stings to severe affliction."

You look surprised at Frigga, but you were glad you didn't cause her any pain.

"I have to confess, I started with a simple graze, then every wound I cut I made deeper and deeper. Yet each time no matter the severity of the wound you take mere seconds to heal it. Even an experienced healer would take at least an hour to fully heal this deeper cut"

Frigga looked at her hand once more, holding it up for you to see. "See, all healed and no scar in sight. You're a natural healer child, gifted. Now, I wonder if you would help me with something I've not been able to fix"

You look at Frigga curiously as she walks towards the closed door. She opens it wide, and peeks out into the corridor. "She's ready, come on in" she calls out

You wonder who she speaks with, your expression a surprised delight when you see Huggin walk in, Frigga closing the door behind him.

"Hello Flower, don't be sad if this doesn't work"

You're suddenly in awe when you see Huggin release his wings, his black feathers well kept, and groomed to perfection. Except, his left wing. It hung lower than the other, the wing bent and broken from Fenrir's protective assault.

You stare sadly at it, seeing it for the first time.

"I'm sorry Huggin"

Huggin's eyes darted to yours, seeing your dejection.

He strutted over to you and cupped your face "don't ever say sorry, you're not to blame. Neither is Fenrir. I hold no grudge in my heart, that I swear"

"I don't no if I can help you Huggin, forgive me if I can't" you say lowly

You suddenly felt Frigga stand next to you. "No time to waste, let's get started. It's an older wound, and it's big. It may take a long while if it should work at all"

You nod, letting Frigga explain one more time. "Just like we practiced dear, move your hand over his body, get a sense of what feels normal. Then move your hand to his injury, you'll feel it as abnormal. We need to focus on making that abnormal return back to normal"

You nodded understanding your assignment. You began to move your hand over Huggin's chest, smoothing your palms over his pecks suddenly feeling him tense under your touch. You smile "Just relax, i'll try to be quick with my frisking" you laugh.

"Take all the time you need Flower" he replied as you work your hands down his lower abs, feeling his well defined muscles underneath his soft bird fuzz. His smile widens, enjoying your touch.

You wonder the extent of Loki jealousy should be see the wide grin on Huggins face, and your hands all over his body. You're glad Frigga closed the door behind her.

"Now, move to his broken wing" Frigga reminds, as you get sidetracked. The soft fuzz on your palm quite enjoyable.

She joins you, placing her own hand on Huggin's wing too. Together you omit healing magic, Frigga's magic a different shade to your white magic.

You focus all your energy into healing his wound, closing your eyes as vivid images come into your mind.

You see the anatomy of a broken wing, willing your magic to snap it back together, fusing the bones, tethering the torn muscles and breathing new life into the dead nerves.

Your hand flops down after you feel the healing completed, suddenly feeling weak. Your power almost drained.

You hear an audible gasp, and open your eyes. You beam wide as you see Huggin spread his wings out far and wide, fluttering them as though about to take flight.

"You did it Flower! You did it!" He squealed in pure delight.

"No we did it" you correct, looking at Frigga.

She shakes her head "No Dear, your eyes were closed. I took my hand away, you did it all by yourself. I knew my magic could not heal this wound, yet you'd have trepidation to do it alone. I had to make you believe I merely needed your help, when in fact, you were the only hope for this heal"

You look at Frigga in surprise "I did it alone?" you say stunned. Suddenly smiling as big as Huggin.

You're suddenly scooped up and spun around, Huggins black wings covering your body entirely. You laugh nervously, screeching to be put down as he whizzes around too fast.

The sound of a door suddenly slamming closed made Huggin stop abruptly, the door closed so fiercely it rattled the whole door frame. Huggin held you in his wings as he turned towards the sound.

Your heart sank seeing Loki's angered face stare at you and Huggin. His fists balled at the side of him, fighting back the desire to do the same to Huggin as he did a Munnin. Rip his wing off entirely.

"Put her down, now!" he growled, he couldn't fight his emotions anymore, about to toss aside all of Thor's advice. He wanted you, and you will remember him after he's done with you.

He marched towards you fired up and ready to take you away, knowing the perfect place to fuck you.

Queen Frigga suddenly steps out interjecting his strut, positioning herself between you and Loki.

She grips Loki's face softly, forcing him to look into her eyes "my son, think before you act" she advised firmly.

You broke from Huggins entanglement, distancing yourself from him. This simple act causes Loki to simmer down, his mothers pleading eyes also making him wake up from his mad frenzy.

"Brother, she cured me, your betrothed fixed me!" Huggin boomed, excitedly showing off his wings to Loki.

Loki softened, trying hard to shake off his harsh feelings towards Huggin. Hearing the term Brother, and Huggin admitting you were his betrothed and no one else's made him less angry.

It had been a while since Huggin had the courage to refer to Loki as Brother, after the cruel treatment he was put through he felt rejected, denounced as a sibling.

Loki knew he had no excuse to warrant abusing Huggin anymore, it was primarily the dark potion that caused his previous outrage. Only his jealousy would be to blame this time.

"It's truly a blessing from the Nords Loki! They've bestowed her a great power" Frigga said excitedly. "what an asset you will be dear child to all of Asgard, and if the realms should find out your gift, you'll be famous!" she declared

"And highly sought after" Loki said lowly, almost saddened

"I think perhaps it's best to keep this between us, I don't wish to be put on a pedestal and gawked at. I'm enjoying the serenity, no more storms please" you joke, yet there was truth to your words and everyone felt it.

Loki felt relieved at hearing your words, he imagined if he'd gone ahead with stealing you away you'd have fought him, closing yourself off from him completely. You announcing you don't want storms reminded him not to overreact. He can't risk losing you.

He reluctantly admitted to himself that Thor was right. Remain calm, be patient, he repeated over and over in his mind.

"Right, I suppose I better go and plan this ball. We can resume practice of a different kind tomorrow dear" Frigga approached you smiling, squeezing your hands before leaving out of the door.

An awkward silence fell between you, Huggin and Loki. No one knew what to do.

Loki desperately wanted to be around you, yet Huggin too, also felt the need to remain, he wasn't finished praising you, or thanking you for making him whole again.

But you, you had an empty belly and needed to eat. The silence broke by your stomach grumbling loud.

Both men's eyes widened, looking at you surprised.

"Well that's my cue to leave in search of sustenance" you say out loud, beginning to walk towards the door.

You look back at the two before you leave, feeling maybe it's best you not leave them alone together.

Loki looks at you hopeful that you'll address him and not Huggin.

"Maybe it's a good idea to make a takeaway breakfast for our sunrise gazing tomorrow Loki, shall we go to the kitchens and prepare it ready?"

Loki's dark brows raised, he quickly shot a gaze to Huggin. His lips turning up into a smug smile.

"Great idea Darling" he says strutting towards you, his mood uplifted.

"I'll see you later Huggin"

"Of course Flower" he replies

You exited with Loki, beginning to walk towards the kitchen together when Loki sighed.

"Just wait one minute, sweetheart"

You watch curiously as he turned on the ball of his feet and headed back towards Huggin. He peeked his head inside the room, talking to Huggin.

You strained your ears to listen "maybe later we could watch you practice flying, observe as you test out your new fixed wing Brother"

Your heart swelled as a warmth spread throughout your body. Loki's action totally unpredicted and unexpected. Even Huggin stuttered as he answered, agreeing to meet later for a raven air show.

Loki skipped back to you, a clear spring in his step as he looked at you cheery.

"That was nice Loki, I appreciate your kindness towards Huggin" you say sincerely.

Loki looked joyous, glad he's made you happy, and pleased he made amends with Huggin.

You continue your walk down the empty hallway, both of you gravitating closer to each other as you walk side by side, until eventually your shoulders brushed ever so slightly together.

Your heart rate quickened, suddenly finding it harder to take a breath.

Silence fell between you, the air thick with anxiety and excitement. Both you and Loki trying not to expose your laboured breathing.

Your heart jolted feeling a delicate touch on your fingers, you glimpse to the source, and see Loki purposely, yet hesitantly grazing his fingers on yours.

You conceal a smile, quickly looking ahead, wanting to remain inconspicuous. Yet you feel disappointed when his contact leaves you. His hesitancy and self-doubt getting the better of him.

Bubbles of courage rose up inside you, the flutters in your belly rapid as you gingerly stroked his hand with your pinky finger. You hear Loki take an audible inhale as he feels you return his touch.

Your whole body was screaming for him to kiss you, and Loki's heart was begging his mind to do so but Thor's words replayed on repeat. Thwarting away his desires.

The large double doors of the kitchen barged open as a maid hurried out almost bumping into you. Loki quickly pulled you to the side, your body crashing up against him as he fell back onto a wall.

For the first time you felt the lower part of your body tingle, your core mimicking the same sensation you have when dropping from a great height.

Loki felt the rush of heat pool to his loins, feeling your breasts press against his leathers. At that moment he wished he was wearing thinner clothes, he'd give anything to feel the curves of your breasts closer to his skin. To have your nipples poke into him.

You watch in surprise as Loki suddenly emanates a green glow, his thick Asgardian leathers replaced with a thinner emerald green tunic.

Loki looked down in surprise, having involuntarily changed his clothes. He see's the look of puzzlement on your face "I- Umm, just feel a bit warm"

"O-oh.. yes, it is rather hot" you reply, believing his blatant lie.

"Im sorry Princess, I should not have barged out of the kitchen doors. Forgive me please" pleads the maid

You leave Loki's body, reassuring the maid that she's done no wrong.

Another loud grumble escapes your belly, much to your embarrassment.

You feel Loki walk up against your back, his warm breath felt on the side of your neck "allow me to escort you inside the kitchen, where you will feast until your angry belly no Loki yells at you"

You giggle at his words, feeling his hand hold yours as he pulls you inside the busy kitchen.
