You weren't sure if it was a dream or not... You couldn't be sure if your eyes were open or closed... The exhaustion that ran through your body certainly made it feel like you were awake... But there was a blur and haze to your vision which made you doubt that it was reality. You slowly reached up to trace the line of your eyelids. Yes... you were definitely awake... You tried to sit up, but the heaviness of the blankets wrapped around your body mixed with the dizziness that sent the room into a spin stopped you. An arm suddenly snaked around you and pulled you tightly against the familiar muscular chest. Loki.
"I have already told you to sleep pet." He growled, clearly irritated from being woken up. "If you wake me again, you will sleep on the floor." You glanced over to his green eyes that seemed to glow in the dim light. They were sleep-heavy and showed for a moment an innocent weakness in his eyes, you weren't used to seeing him like that at all... Suddenly his eyes sharpened and darkened, causing you to jump slightly. You bit back the scared whimper that had built in your throat and nodded.
"I'm sorry..." you voice was raspy and brought an itch to your throat that just wouldn't go away. Loki closed his eyes and loosened his grip slightly. You rolled over and tried to forget about the pain in your throat and the intense emptiness in your stomach...
You laid there for several minutes, trying to force the itching in your throat to go away, but nothing would work... You gripped your throat to stop the dry coughs that threatened to escape, and just when you thought you couldn't hold the coughs back anymore, Loki's arm slinked around you once more and tightened around you as you were slowly enveloped in a green light.
"Now will you stop squirming?" he growled as the irritation in your throat began to slip away. You nodded. "Good..."
With the irritation in your throat gone, you were able to spend what remained of your energy to stop the growling in your stomach which, to your surprise, was easier than you first thought. Just as you began to drift off, you could have sworn you heard the faintest sounds of music... No... It couldn't be, not in a place like this... It must have been your mind playing a trick on you...
