Pausing at the edge of their magical honeymoon bed, Natasha feels more at home here than anywhere else, and she has to wait and lean into it. She's nearly naked, and outside. The sounds of forest animals surround the darkness that reaches further than the canopy of stars around them, and there's not an ounce of fear. There's no trepidation, worry, or anxiety beyond what's to come between her and Loki tonight, and it's not true anxiety, it's that bubble of excitement that starts in the stomach and buzzes along the skin, trampling over the heart on the way out.
Natasha never knew her cheeks could hurt from smiling so damn much, but her own do. Letting a few threads of her robe loose, Nat crawls into the bed and wanders up to her husband on the plush bed. "This is incredible. I keep saying that to you and me. I might one day realize what the word stunning means. I'm glad you'll be able to recreate it again, so I can remember all this, since we don't have a photographer. I want one of you looking like the god you are with your shirt all open and delicious like that."
Her tone was light and playful, but Nat couldn't be more serious. He was incredibly sexy, trussed up in just his trousers and a shirt with a few buttons open. His hair was gorgeous and suited him perfectly. Kissing him softly, she runs her hand along his chest and leans in to lie beside him, snuggling up beside him to hold on and listen to the sound of his heart. "Married. We did it. We did it. Now we're going to mark one another and be even closer. I don't even know if I can feel closer."
As they maneuver in their bed to be closer together, Loki’s eyes never trail from her. There truly is something magical about this moment and it’s not just the two of them there and how amazing their wedding has been, but as he also takes note of the soft sounds of the forest around them, he realizes what it is.
It’s peaceful.
In all of Loki’s very long life, he can’t ever remember feeling so peaceful. There have been quieter times, but he’s always felt anxious or energetic or some mix of those and other similar emotions. His life and his mind have always been things of chaos. It’s something he generally enjoys, but truth be told, he’s never really known peace so it isn’t something he’s been able to fairly judge. But now he has Natasha and she has shown him, is still showing him, what true peace is like.
”I will recreate this any time you wish, my love. Though I also think returning to this place each year for our anniversary might also be a nice thing to do. What do you think?” Perhaps it’s a little early to be thinking of anniversaries considering they’ve only been married a couple of hours, but for the first time in a very long time, Loki thinks the future is something he is looking forward to, with her by his side.
As she presses in next to him, he pulls her in closer and smiles. It seems like he will never stop smiling now. He wonders if others would think him mad for it. Not that he cares what they think, it is only a passing wonder as he kisses her back gently. “The markings are for us, but I believe that even without them, we are now intrinsically linked forever more. The markings are a blessed physical symbol of our joining only because we both desire to show what we cannot see.” It doesn’t make him want the markings any less, the opposite in fact, but he can’t imagine anything stopping them from being so closely bound, markings or not.
There hasn't been a lot of peace in Natasha's life either, so this little cove created by magic and love is the most at rest she's been in her entire life. In this moment, nothing exists beyond Loki and herself. There is no fear, no tomorrow, no yesterday. Her past isn't clinging to her and weighing her down-- nothing exists beyond this moment, beyond the beat of their hearts, which seem to have somehow synced to the same beat of the larger universe that Natasha can now feel all around them. It's ethereal. Her mind can reach out and think beyond what it ever could.
Lying there with her eyes closed, Natasha is aware of every breath Loki takes. She can feel his body next to hers on some plane beyond what she was connected to him previously. In her mind, Natasha knew that being with him, loving him, marrying him would bind them and her to an entirely new level, but now that she's here, it's incredible. There's so much more to take in and enjoy than she could have prepared herself for. There was no way she could have comprehended how much these vows would have tied them together, and now she knows that they are completely and inextrably tied together; nothing will ever separate them.
Tapping her fingers against his chest, widening them and running them along the impossibly smooth skin that always carries a slight chill, Natasha gazes up at the man she adores. "I would love to come here each year on our anniversary, and remember all this. I never knew I could ever feel so much for one person, and now that we are here, married, joined in this magical, remarkable way... Loki..." At a loss for words, Natasha leans up and places her lips against his in a deep, lingering kiss. One that tries to impart all that she's feeling right now. Breaking for air, her fingers undo the rest of his buttons. "You are the most gorgeous man in the cosmos. I don't know how I got so lucky. I am looking forward to celebrating this every way you wish."
Perhaps that is why they were destined to meet this way. Maybe, just maybe it is their time to finally have peace and live their lives together. It’s not like Loki to think he deserves such nice things, not after how he spent the first thousand years of his life, but he does know Natasha deserves it and he intends on making sure she gets everything she deserves.
Somehow he knows that she feels the same about him. They feel in sync in more than just physical ways now. It’s almost as if they are an extension of each other, mind, body and spirit. There have been times in his life where the idea of being this close to someone would have frightened him, but with Natasha it feels like the most natural thing in all the multiverse. He’s often been skeptical about the idea that certain things were meant to happen, especially after he learned about how the TVA was originally run, but meeting Natasha again and having this new life with her has changed his feelings on the subject because he now cannot imagine his life without her.
He hums softly at the feel of her fingers against his skin. In return he lightly runs his hand down her arm. Even the simplest of touches with her feel like they are burning into his skin in the most delightful way. It’s something he can’t ever imagine tiring of. As she gazes at him, he returns the look, showing her just how he feels with expression alone. His hand moves from her arm to cup her cheek as she leans in for a kiss, which he returns with passion. “It is I who have gotten lucky, in more ways than one, it would seem. Not everyone gets to meet their perfect match.” He pulls her into another heated kiss, but breaks it almost too soon. “Tell me what you need, my love. I will give you everything.”
