“And this next number goes out to my, uhh, lllovely lllover Llloki...”
“Sunshiiiiine,” Loki blushed, in spite of himself.
The song was a sweet little melody, with a few dramatic flourishes (because the Grandmaster could not let a performance pass without a good dramatic flourish or two), but given the decoration, Loki could not help but notice the lyrics, which went:
The greatest thing you’ll ever learn
Is just to love, and be loved in return.
“Did you mean that?” he asked quietly, after the Grandmaster took a bow, amid rapturous applause.
“Course I did, stardust,” he smiled, leaning into Loki’s embrace.
