“To be honest, I just wanted a chance to look at the stars with you.”

“Well it’s very nice” She replies. This random act of kindness and affection was completely out of Loki’s habits, days with Loki normally meant running around causing mischief, this was different. 

They are both led on their backs, the damp grass clawing at their clothes, it causes her to shiver a little, he doesn’t notice. She wishes he does. 

“That one there, that one is the mouth of the wolf” he begins “it is named after the time when the wolf hunted the sun and moon” he looks to her hopefully but she shakes her head. Loki sighs and for a moment a clouded anger washes over his face. You can tell that he just wants her to listen to him, to look at the stars. 

“If you look just there” he continues, pointing to the speckled sky, she is too busy looking at the lights in his eyes to look at the stars. 

Loki realises that she is a lost cause and grabs her hand, it's a new feeling for her and she instantly tries to pull away, his grip is too strong and her hand remains in his. 

“I know you’re not that interested, love, but just try to look for me?” he begs, he has wanted to show her the stars for months, he’s just never had the confidence. He leads her hand up to the sky, painting the shape of the wolf with her extended finger. 

A spark lights in her eyes and she lets out a squeal of glee. “Loki, I see it!”

“I knew you’d like it” he mumbles.

“Is that the only one?” she asks, she is desperate to see more, desperate to connect the dots.

“For tonight love, yes” he replies, swinging his arms around her shoulders to pull her closer. “You’re so cold” he mutters. 

“It is a little chilly, we have been out here for hours” she replies. Loki disappears from her view and she almost faceplants the floor, the stars have moved up the sky since they first led down and now the famous wolf constellation is directly above her head.

Loki is gone for a while, she spends her time rolling blades of dewy grass between her fingers, the night is peaceful. The crickets sing from the bushes and the owls make their calls from the trees. She marvels at the world's music and lets it consume her. 

“I brought blankets” She is snapped from her meditation when Loki appears next to her. “And a Midgardian jumper” he speaks the last line with disgust, he obviously wasn't in favor of the Midgardian jumper. Or anything Midgardian mind. 

He lays the blanket down beside her and she rolls onto it. He flings her the jumper and she pulls it comfortably over her head. It's way too large for her and it collects in masses around her hands. 

The harsh coldness is halted, it has another two layers to break through now, and after a while, it gives up completely. She is warm and content, listening to the birds and wind as she leans against Loki’s chest, her eyes still on the sky.
