Laurell K. Hamilton, Mistral’s Kiss (via wordsnquotes)
Stargirl Interlude (ft. Lana Del Rey) // The Weeknd
Gods, his chest ached. Stephen’s words ran his being, he was too kind, too gentle… it was addictive for someone who had been through what Loki had. With pursed lips, he listened attentively, stroking Stephen’s hair with adoration.
“Does that mean I’m getting there? It’s not news how much I want you. ” the thought of it made him chuckle, Loki had even teased Thor about sleeping with Stephen when he hadn’t yet. The god was threading carefully, he wouldn’t want to startle someone so special. “ Even if you don’t want to… “ he breathed softly “ I think I would be fine with your kisses alone. “
“I never expected to be with a man. Let alone a king... and a prince.” He moved to place his forehead against Loki’s own. “Everyone is quite aware of how hot you find me. You’re quite vocal.”
He looked into those green eyes and wondered what he had possibly done to deserve that adoration. “Kisses alone will have to suffice for now. I do believe that more will come... but it will take patience. I am hardly one who sees time as most mortals do.”
Loki smiled back with amusement while something warm grew in his chest, it was pleasant and calming. He looked into the sorcerer’s eyes before speaking again:
“ You manage to bring up the best in me, that’s… new. And you still understand me. “ he cupped Stephen’s face and nibbled his bottom lip. “ No wonder I’ve been crazy about you since I met you again in this life. “
“I do... I wish to help you become who you want to be. Not to be trapped like you were before, Loki. I’m honored to have you developing within the Sanctum’s walls. You could have gone anywhere.”
When he felt Loki move to nibble on his lip he let out a soft breath. “As I recall you aren’t the only royal finding his way into my bed.” Even if Stephen hadn’t done more then give Loki a few tentative kisses. The godling prince had carved out a place for himself.
He’s always overly zealous. - Loki wrapped both arms around Stephen’s neck and nuzzled into his cheek - He started it, I’m just tired… you understand, don’t you? - the godling pouted, then pressed a gentle kiss to the corner of his lips -
“You know I constantly understand.” He let out a small breath. “I fear that I am terribly indulgent of you.” He ran a hand down Loki’s side before he pulled him close. He felt that kiss and smiled down at the other’s face. “You’re impossible.”
Doesn’t really matter now, focus on what’s important: me
Of course you’re important... And I will protect you if Thor is over zealous, but he seems like he was teasing you within reason, Loki.
Protect me, daddy. He’s being mean to me. :(
... Please don’t call me daddy.
...
You do realize I was the older brother, correct?
The doctor is out
[text] Fine, I’ll do it…
[text] Are you serious about this? Wow, I’m blushing
[text] You choose the meals for the weekend for it.
[text] Have a picture? I don’t think I’ve seen you blush before.
[text] I’m not cleaning the bats nest, that’s nasty, they keep coming back.
[text] You don’t sound proud of me at all, you sound upset, and that upsets me…
[text] Well it’s too late to get Wong to do it.
[text] I am, Loki. I am so proud of you. I know how hard you are working each and every day. I see you blossoming into a man I am proud to call an ally.
“You can be such a bastard, just watching me with a smirk while I get threatened by tentacles.” There was no real heat in his words, Peter knew if he’d been in serious danger Stephen would have helped. “And did you just make a sort of pun? You did didn’t you? See, I’m a good influence!”
“You realize there’s nothing strange about my making puns, correct?” He smiled at the other man. “Are you pouting now? Don’t. It makes you absolutely adorable.” Honestly, it had been rather enjoyable to watch Peter deal with the tentacles rather then himself... and he hadn’t been in trouble.
[text] I am a fast learner, what do you suggest I do? I’m keeping these things to myself, it’s not like I’m going to snapchat the book pages.
[text] I haven’t done anything bad, you should be proud of me.
[text] Ask me for more materials or a new aspect of magic to learn... Clean out the inter-dimensional bats nest in the broom closet.
[text] You have no idea how proud of you I am.
[text] But I want to learn more!
[text] What do you mean? I never ask him to, he does it out of his free will… maybe he understands how much I desire this, just like you did when you were younger, Stephen. Why can’t you help me?
[text] I have been helping you, Loki. I know it isn’t as fast as you’d like but you need to take the time to learn this. [text] I am aware. I’ve been helping you. Nicolai has as well.
“… I thought we wouldn’t speak of that. Ever.” Peter sighed dramatically in defeat, “At least you laughed. It was at me but you had fun, right?”
“I must admit, it’s always very surprising when the tentacles go after someone else. I rather enjoyed watching until one caught your blaster.” He smiled then. Unable to be entirely callous when Peter was around him. He went to put a hand on the other’s shoulder quite gently. “You are stellar, Peter.”
“I feed you and cheer you up and this is the thanks I get.”
“I do believe the last inter galactic food place you took me on a date almost ended up with tentacles. Again.” He was grinning a tad as he arched a brow at Peter.
[text] Yes… but they don’t need to know, do they? This can be our little secret. Thor isn’t going after you or anything, I promise.
[text] No, they don’t. Just stay out of the forbidden section!
[text] Honestly it’s like you’re waiting for Nicolai to come protect you.
