After the trip, we went back to Asgard and began to plan the wedding. We were both so happy to be finally planning the thing we had been waiting for all our lives. We were both scared and very nervous but overjoyed by the fact we were going to be bound to each other for the rest of our lives. 

I was accompanied by my mother to go pick out decor and later we would take Loki out for the soon to be long search for a dress. 

I chose out green and yellow ribbons, solid gold beads to be strung around the door frames, and spiraled around the glittering pillars. 

After the early prep was finished we got Loki and proceeded to the market to see options for dresses and to have myself measured. We, of course, would see the options and then order a custom made one that is tailored to my liking, but honestly, I wouldn't have minded if I was in a simple white dress as long as I was marrying the man I adored and loved with all my heart and body. The person I would risk my life for, the person I would bear children with. 

We walked up to Loki's cell and I peered in. He was reading one of the books I had gifted to him when we were young, one that I know he has read over a million times. He was made aware of our presence and slowly up the book down and stood up.

"Mother! Sister! I had almost forgotten, we are going to pick out my dear Amia's wedding dress up, correct?" Loki asked a little matter-a factly but clearly with great joy. 

The sparkling shield was brought down and Loki quickly embraced me then going quickly to mother.

"Yes, we are! Brother, I am beyond happy and excited! You know not my absolute joy. not only am I to be married but I will also be able to have my brother be there for it." I said nearly jumping with joy. Loki merely smiled at me.

"My dear if you are happy then I will be too." He kissed my forehead and hugged me one last time before taking my hand and we were lead outside the prison and off we went to the market.

-------

I ended up ordering a silk white dress, with gold lacing the ruffles and the bodice. The skirt portion was very ruffly but not too much, while the top was glittering with gold specs littered throughout the whole of the dress. Oh and the sleeves! They are tight at the top then open up around three quarters down my arm, the sleeves are long and go off into a slight ruffle and flow nicely with the dress. There is a white veil laced with gold and very sparkly, it won't cover my face only go down my hair on the back. My hair will be down and curled with star-like beads selectively put around my head.  

We finished at the market but I was dreading going back to the palace because then Loki would have to continue to be in his cell and I wouldn't be able to see him out again until a week before the wedding, which granted wouldn't be very long but still.

-------

A couple of days of planning later I finally got the chance to speak with Loki again, in private. 

"So....How have you been doing?" I started after a couple of seconds of silence.

"I am doing pretty well, but let's talk about you for a moment. How had the planning been going? Have you got everything figured out? Are you getting cold feet?"

"The planning has been going very well actually! A little stressful at times but overall very good. We have everything figured out just need to put the plan in action...and no I am not getting cold feet and I have yet to think twice of everything before you ask." I say a little annoyed.

Loki stared at me for a second before saying, "Amira, I want you to remember that you owe him nothing and that you are the prize--"

before he could go on I interrupted him, "honestly Loki I really don't see why you hate Adrian so much. Really, what is your deal? All he has ever been to me is kind caring and very loving! he cares for me more than anybody has before and you always push him away, why?!"

Loki paused and seemed taken aback by my sudden outburst and responded cooly, "because something is off about him. I don't believe he is who he says he is, and you can believe me or not if you wish but just know I will never support you and Adrian being together." before I could interrupt him again he put up his hand and continued, "And I know you don't have much say in the matter, but I hope you know that you can always back out. If you do not want to wish to marry him you don't have to......." 

I stared at him in anger but I also knew that he was right, I could back out and I really haven't thought of it before. I hadn't had second thoughts before this conversation, now I was actually debated whether I should marry Adrian or not. 

"No, Loki, I am going to marry him. I love him and he loves me, I will not let your opinions get in the way of my happiness." 

I began to storm out of the room but before I was out of earshot Loki said, "I will always be here if you need me."

After he said that I began to feel slightly guilty for yelling at him, but I didn't go back.

------

Later I told Adrian all about my conversation, leaving out what Loki said to me before I left.

"Amir, I hope you know that I will always love you. You shouldn't listen to your brother if he thinks otherwise. I will always cherish you and care for you. No one should oppose us, just two young people in love, there is not anything wrong with that, is there?" Adrian says pulling me close.

"No of course not, but-"

"but nothing my darling, we were made for each other. Anybody who stands in our way can get out of our lives, they are toxic and should be treated as such." Adrian interrupts.

"I think that is a little extreme..." I respond pushing him slightly away.

"I don't think it is," he moves so that he is looking me in the eyes and we are face to face, "why should anybody get in the way of our happiness? Amir, you are my precious soon-to-be wife and I will protect you against all those who don't think we should be happy. I have been through so much to be with you and I won't anybody get in our way. Neither should you, my darling."

"You are right...I apologize for doubting you" I look down at the bench we are sitting on 

Adrian lifts my chin and says "I forgive you," he caresses my cheek and gently kisses my lips.

Author's note: so sorry for not updating in such a long time. I just had no inspiration for this story and really didn't have a plan. And well now I do so...I am back. I mean not that many of you were really looking forward to it XD. But I'm back and will hopefully get more chapters out when I can.
