She's my Queen | L.laufeyson

Chapter Thirty One;Strategize

"You think you can kill me?" She laughs.

"My gods Nylah can you focus at the much bigger problem" I pinch the bridge of my nose.

"What bigger problem are you taking about?"

"The fact that the leader of the dark elves just declared war on both of us!" I scream, mad that she's not putting that together.

"What Loki, scared of a little battle" she chuckles.

"No, but I think we should come up with a plan"

"The plan is, Malekith comes back and I chop his head off" she shrugs like it was so simple.

"Let's not forget he had a sword to your neck" I point out.

"I was distracted" she scoffs.

"Did I distract you?" I smirk.

"Get your head out of your ass Loki for fucks sake" she bawls her fists.

My smile slowly fades but is only replaced with a cocky look.

"I'll let you live" she sighs like it's such an inconvenience.

"You couldn't kill me anyway" I laugh.

"Why cause you think I care?"

"No because I'm stronger than you think, it wouldn't be that easy" I defend.

"We're going in circles here".

"That we are" I agree.

"What will it take for you to leave and never come back?" She asks.

"You help me with my Malekith problem"

"Sure, I was already going to kill the bastard" she shrugs.

"Ah ah ah, there's more" I interrupt her.

"What is it?" She sighs.

"I get to stay here, and we fight him together" I state my demands.

"Why is it so important that we do this together Loki?" She asks.

"Can't have you taking all the credit, can I?" I smile at her.

She almost smiles but forms her lips into a straight line to hide it.

"Fine, is that it?"

"That's it, after that you never have to see me again" I reassure.

"You know you've said that before" she points out.

"I mean if this time"

"What makes this so different from last time?" She questions.

"Well last time, you weren't such a huge bitch" I laugh.

"I tried to kill you at least 3 times and you think I'm bitchier now?" She laughs.

"Well after your homicidal attempts I got to fuck you, so I guess I didn't have much of a problem with it" I joke.

"Asshole" she laughs even more.

"Bitch" I reply.

We both stood there laughing and I finally saw a genuine smile on her face. Has her smile always been so pretty or am I just now noticing it?

After a minute there was an awkward silence and we both just stood still looking at each other.

"I like the new look" I say, trying to get rid of the weird moment between us.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah" I say

Well so much for my effort because it was still silent and uncomfortable.

"Ok well there's a room down the hall you can um stay in there, you know until this whole Malekith thing is over" she clears her throat.

"Ok, thank you" I give a half smile before leaving the room.

It was easier to talk to her when I had her locked in a cell rather than now.
