I Chose You

You plop down back onto your bed, head creating a crater in your pillow, "Loki, it's been 3 days. I need to do something!"

Loki sits parallel to you, at a 90 degree angle against your headboard reading, "You are resting, darling."

"You are resting, darling," you mock Loki's voice. "I was done resting yesterday, Loki," you whine and lightly nudge his leg with yours.

"You are mine to watch over," Loki closes his book with a thud.

You flip your legs over the side of the bed, "Great. Then you're going to watch as I walk over to the door out of here." You take 2 steps to the door, but Loki takes your elbow.

"Tomorrow we will be free of the confines of this room," he pulls you back against him.

"Bu..." 

Loki puts a finger on your lips, "Shh. No protesting, Mate." He keeps his finger in place, but moves to kiss the top of your mark, causing all thoughts you had to vacate your mind. "Relax," Loki's other hand flattens on the base of your back to ensure you stay against him, as his kisses move up to your neck.

You swallow trying to focus, "That's...not really helping with the whole relaxing ordeal."

"Do you wish for me to stop?" Loki pauses his movements, his breath fanning your skin as he speaks.

You take a breath in and lift your hand to his mark, and the second your hand makes contact with Loki's skin, he lifts your legs around his waist and carries you back to your bed.

----------------------------------------------

The next morning, Loki nibbling the bottom of your ear wakes you up, "If you want food, we can surely go get some."

"I am perfectly content right here. And besides," Loki brings his face to yours as he leans-up on his elbows to hover above you. "You taste so much better."

"I thought you wanted me to be relaxed," you say between kissing Loki.

You feel his grin on your lips, "I do believe that you were very relaxed last night after we..."

You put your hand over Loki's mouth, "Fair enough." You match his grin now as well.

He lightly collapses on top of you, nuzzling into your neck, peppering it with kisses.

"Food in 15 minutes, Loki the Koala," you massage his scalp, entangling your fingers in his hair.

Loki groans, "Fine."

You both stay wrapped around each other just like that for about 10 more minutes, before Loki speaks again, "Thank you for choosing the apple."

You adjust your laying position to be able to look at Loki's face, "I didn't choose the apple."

Loki does the same, propping himself up for it to be an easier gaze.

"I chose you," your lips twitch up into a small smile.
