Is this Love?

Previously

She quieted down as an oppressive aura spread around her. She was visibly shuddering as I started panicking. But I noticed a smile so quick it might've just been a figment of my imagination. She then went back to her usual face as she grew taller and taller. And standing in front of me was the figure of the goddess of death.

Continuation

Hela POV

I turned into my adult form and rose to the same height as the boy. I have no idea why I did so. Well, I do. Even when I conquered all parts of the universe that I could, I had never gotten recognition from anyone other than my people, I wanted appreciation and recognition and not praise. So the admiration of the Little frost giant satisfied my need for appreciation, especially when the giant was willing to die just to visit her.[Just her imagination. So many years of solitude makes you paranoid and differently wired.]

I stared at the boy, who stared at me in wonder. Not lying, it felt good, although it made me uncomfortable, but considering he was a frost giant, I didn't really care that much.

"Stop staring," I said. I wasn't really mad, but it has to end. After all, 1500 years alone would be enough to turn even the nicest person into a monster.

( 750 is Loki's age and she is 2629 and 2629 - 750 is her age before thor. But she should be way older than him yet she is only 6 years older than thor in human age, so on top of which, she basically spent more or less 1/15 of her lifespan even if she is about 36 in human years. The time dilation in her realm is the only thing that can explain the change. So we can say she was older than 1500 years before being sent and should be in the prison for more than 1500 years, meaning she was imprisoned in her eighteens and aged about 1/5 or 1/6th what she was supposed to age. My math might be a little off, but the time dilation has to exist to explain the gap between her age and thor's as in the comics she is 2629 years old.)

Loki POV

I stared at the adult Hela in shock. She is just as tall as I am. So I am definitely taller than I was before because she used to tower over me. Was I taller and stronger because my frost genes evolved with the divinity in my body? It's also possible I developed a unique power of my own. While I mumbled to myself, I hadn't noticed hela moving closer to me.

"Will you stop staring?" She asked and poked me. I fidgeted, realizing I may have given her a wrong impression of my intentions. (Given help by PinkBunnyMilk). I bizarrely wave my hand and try to explain that I was just thinking hard. If I give of the wrong intention, I might just be killed... . But I noticed the look of disappointment on her face, oddly similar to the girls in Asguard. Was she in ... love?
