The Morning After

Hours pass by as it turns into night, then officially into the early morning.

Once morning rises, Olivia opens her eyes from her sleep, blinking slowly as she stretches her arms above her head and looks around the room.

She then looks up to see Loki laying there, his eyes closed and breath shallow in sleep. She grins and softly kisses his cheek.

"Wakey wakey sleepy head." She says as she softly shakes him trying to wake him.

Loki startles awake when she shakes him, his eyes snap open. The first thing he notices is her beautiful face, and it's like he wakes up all over again. He sits up straight and looks at her, with a smile.

"How was your sleep, my dear?" He asks as he yawns to himself.

"You truly are the best, you know that?" He whispers, as he leans in and kisses her cheek.

Olivia blushes in response to the kiss as she nods.

"I slept well."

She sits up to face him and gently strokes the hair out of his face.

"Are you hungry?" She asks.

He smiles as she runs her fingers through his hair. He's feeling incredibly happy and contented, but also a little bit hungry. He nods in response.

"I... could eat, I suppose. Are you?" He asks.

"I'm guessing you'd like breakfast in bed?" He says with a smirk.

"I'm hungry too. Breakfast in bed sounds lovely." She says sheepishly.

He reaches out a hand to her, and when she takes it, he pulls her in close.

"That's perfect, my love. I'll go cook. Is there anything in particular you'd like for breakfast?" He asks.

"My dear, you can have whatever you wish, you know this."

His words are soft and warm, and his heart flutters inside his chest as he asks the question, but his eyes are fixed on her, watching her eyes. It's almost a little like the world has stopped at that moment.

Her breath hitches at the intensity of his stare as she looks into his eyes, her heart flutters once again.

"Waffles with bacon and fruit sound delightful to me. I hope that is good for you too."

She smiles, satisfied with her answer.

Loki chuckles and nods.

"It sounds delightful to me as well. Breakfast of the champions." He smirks.

"Give me a moment and I'll have it here for you." He kisses her gently and then gets up to prepare her breakfast.

"Is there anything else you would like?" He asks.

"My love, nothing is too big or too small. Anything you may desire, you can say. This is my promise to you." He tells her, before rushing into the kitchen to prepare something delicious for her. His energy is full of love.

Oliva chuckles softly as she watches him go to the kitchen.

"I think that will be all for now love." She says as she gets up from the bed and heads to the bathroom to shower.

Once finished with showering, she changes her clothes and heads to the kitchen to see Loki finishing, putting the final touches on the breakfast. She goes up behind him and wraps her arms around him, kissing him on the back of his neck.

"It smells so heavenly in here. It's making me even more hungry." She says, licking her lips.

He lets out a little moan at her touch, just being in her presence stirs all kinds of feelings within the god.

He chuckles and turns his head to face her.

"Oh, you are quite the tease..." He whispers, with a soft smirk.

He kisses her on the lips and smiles at her.

"Breakfast is ready." He says, as he takes her hand and starts walking her to the dining area.

He sits her down at the table and puts the plate full of waffles and bacon in front of her, as well as some orange juice.

"Is there anything more?" He asks.

Olivia licks her lips again as her mouth waters with the food in front of her. She shakes her head as she grabs a plate.

"No. Let's eat." She says as she grabs some waffles and bacon and begins to eat.

He smiles.

"You look absolutely wonderful right now. You've just woken up, your hair is still damp from the shower, and yet you are still absolutely stunning. Are you sure? I'll have you know; I make some absolutely divine pancakes." He says with a smirk.

Just seeing her like this, sitting here at the table, eating this delicious breakfast...he's feeling great and can't help but show it on his face. His smile is soft and warm, but there's also an intensity to it.

"Is everything to your satisfaction, my love?"

She nods as she takes a sip of orange juice to wash down the food she stuffed into her mouth. She looks up at him with a smile on her face.

"Everything is perfect Loki. The food is absolutely delicious!"

She grins as she continues to dig into her meal.

He chuckles at her enthusiasm.

"I am glad. I... I like it when you're all excited like this my love. It makes me happy just to see you being happy."

His eyes are soft, and he smiles back at her. At this moment, his entire personality is soft, full of kindness and compassion, even his voice seems a little softer than usual.

He reaches over and takes her hand, holding it as he leans in closer.

"I just love being with you. It's...incredible" He whispers, giving her another small kiss.

Olivia blushes from the kiss and relaxes into his touch. She looks at him and the soft expression on his face as she swallows her food before speaking.

"You don't know how happy you make me Loki. Your presence is so intense yet so gentle with me. I can't help but be fully smitten by you. I wish to hold on to this feeling...this moment...forever." She says looking intently deep into his eyes.

His eyes soften even further, as his smile spreads. He blinks at her, but his eyes never look away. His voice grows soft as his smile spreads.

"You...make me incredibly happy, my love. I... I'm not quite sure how to describe it either. Your touch...your smile...simply being in your presence just makes me feel happy. I feel alive, like I've never felt before. I... I love that our two lives are joined, my love. There is nothing else like it in the entire universe."

Olivia smiles and nods in agreement.

"Yes, I'm happy that our two lives have passed each other and now have become intertwined. I couldn't ask for better love and companion other than you Loki."

She smiles again before going back to eating, gesturing to him.

"Eat... I have a big day planned ahead for us." She says, cutting up more of her waffles to eat it.

"Really...what have you got planned?" He asks, with a grin.

He's already very interested, knowing that any plan from her would undoubtedly have a lot of surprises, but he is still curious what the surprise actually is.

"I... I trust you completely and know whatever it is, I will enjoy it immensely." He whispers, as he takes another bite of his breakfast.

Olivia takes another bite and swallows before answering.

"We are going to visit the Scarlet Witch."

"The Scarlet Witch!?"

His face lights up and his eyes grow wide.

"Wait, what...that's perfect." He replies as he finishes the bite of waffles he took before getting excited and he looks at her with intense, enthusiastic eyes.

"Tell me, what is this plan all about?" He asks, unable to contain the excitement in his tone.

She chuckles at his profound excitement and takes a sip of orange juice before answering.

"Me and the Scarlet Witch are good friends. We weren't when we first met abruptly. I fought her once and promised her I would get stronger and fight her again when that time comes."

She looks up at him with a determined look on her face.

"Today is that day..."

"Really...that's even more perfect." He says with a grin that grows wider and wider.

"She's very strong...and you're very strong. That fight will no doubt be a glorious one. I, for one, cannot wait." He says the enthusiasm and excitement in his eyes, growing by the moment.

"Tell me more!"

She laughs at his excitement and eagerness.

"It will be a glorious battle..."

She takes another sip before speaking more.

"I met the Scarlet witch while on my journey to obtain the Book of the Damned. It just so happens that the Scarlet Witch had and guarded that said book. I had bypassed her detection long enough to get to the book, but as I was reaching for it… she caught me..."

She takes another sip of orange juice before continuing.

"She threw me in her lair, keeping me captive. I tried any and every spell I knew to escape but couldn't due to her dungeon being magic resistant. I had no choice but to befriend her and take the book back in the process. Surprisingly, she willingly gave me the book. I was not expecting that. However, I didn't want the book just simply handed to me so, I asked her to loan me the book in promise to get stronger from it and give her the real battle she deserves. She agreed and let me go with the book."

Olivia finishes her story with a sip of orange juice.

"And that is how I obtained the Book of the Damned."

Loki listens intently and nods throughout the whole story, and then once she finishes, he claps his hands together in excitement and with a smile on his face.

"My. God. That is an incredibly interesting story. I am utterly amazed at your ability. So, she is very strong...but so are you, my love."

He gives her a kiss.

"You're right, this whole thing is perfect. Is there anything else I should know before this adventure starts? I wouldn't want to go in unprepared." He asks with a little wink.

She grins at him.

"All you will need is your scepter and gear. Everything else I have."

He nods once, before leaning in and kissing her on the lips.

"And what will YOU be wearing, my love? My queen." He whispers, with a smirk.

There's a lot of excitement and joy in his eyes, and he moves back, with a smile.

She smiles and gets up from the table before walking to the doorway and turns to look at Loki. She closes her eyes and clenches the horn of Gullinkambi necklace, letting it transform her into her powerful divine clothes.

Her clothes are now glowing as her trench coat drapes off her body, revealing the skintight bodysuit underneath.

He stares at her for a few moments, taking in her power.

"God...you are so beautiful." He says, as he stares at her divine form.

An expression of awe fills his face, and it is clear that he's in absolute awe of how amazing she is right now. He gulps and is a little flushed.

"Wow. Just...wow."

She smirks and walks over to him, touching his chin and lifts it up, meeting each other's gazes.

"Thank you for the compliment."

She smiles and kisses him softly on the lips.

Loki kisses back softly, but it's a kiss filled with so much love, passion, and intensity.

He holds her lip in his own for a moment after the kiss, his heart fluttering.

He pulls back, and he just gazes at her for a few moments, still trying to take in her divinity.

"You, my love, are truly something to behold. You're absolutely stunning right now." He whispers, his voice full of love.

He's still a little flushed, but his eyes are full of love as he stands there for a few seconds, admiring her true divinity.

Olivia blushes as her heart flutters from the kiss and the intense stare.

"You're gonna make us late if you keep looking at me like that..."

She blushes even more and turns away.

"You're right, my love," He whispers, a little smirk still on his face.

"I'm ready whenever you are. I was just...trying to take in your full divinity." He says, a little sheepishly.

He puts his hand on her hand and holds her hand.

"Shall we be off?" He asks, looking at her with all the love in his eyes.

"We wouldn't want to keep the Scarlet Witch waiting."

Olivia grins and nods.

"Let's go."
