I flutter my eyes open, confused as to why I'm sleeping on a chair.
I think it was around 8:30am.
I turn my head, and see Loki on the other chair.
I must've fell asleep last night.
I don't know how, but I must've.
"You dozed off once you finished your tea." Loki says.
"Did you drug it or something?" I chuckle, rubbing my eyes.
"And why would I do that?" He smirks, as if he did.
And honestly, he could've and probably did.
I mean, I was wide awake last night.
I wouldn't have fallen back to sleep after.. well, you know.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you did."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
I sit up in my chair, not as exhausted as yesterday, and look outside.
It was snowing a storm outside.
Literally.
I'm pretty sure we're snowed in.
The snow covered a lot of the windows.
And the door, so most likely, we'd be stuck in here all day.
"Hey, stop it," I hear Loki whisper, "Knock it off."
I turn over to see what the problem is, and realize it's just Sam.
The cat.
Loki tried to shop him away, but he kept rubbing his head against his legs.
"You're being a bad cat." He tells Sam.
"That's what cats do, Loki. You know, you're really living up to the 'grumpy' nickname." I chuckle.
"I am not grumpy."
"You're literally demanding a cat to stop showing affection."
"So?"
...
What does he have against cats?
I mean, it's a cat.... not Thor.
Suddenly, Sam jumps onto Loki's lap.
"No, bad cat. Get off of me right now." He tells Sam.
But, Sam just sits his ass right onto Loki's lap.
Loki sighs, and looks over to me.
"Do something." Loki demands
"What do you want me to do?" I chuckle.
"Well, he's your cat!"
"And?"
"Get him off of me."
"Hmm."
"Get. Him. Off. Of. Me."
I look down at Sam, and try to hide a laugh.
"Aw, Loki. Sam's sleeping."
He looks down at Sam and sighs.
"You can't move him now, it's too late." I chuckle.
"Why not?"
"He's sleeping!"
"And?"
"You don't wake a sleeping cat."
"Why not?"
"You wouldn't want to know."
I honestly didn't even know, but it was too funny not to tell him.
I stand up, "Have fun with Sam." I chuckle.
Loki sighs, again, and just stares at Sam.I walk over to the kitchen, and pour myself a bowl of cereal.
I didn't exactly know how to cook anything, so I couldn't do that.
Well, I might've known how to at one point, but I can't even remember.
I sit down on one of the chairs in the kitchen, and just begin to eat the cereal.
There wouldn't be anything much to do today, considering we were snowed into the cabin.
Perhaps there were some things to do in the cabin, though.
Maybe there were board games?
I don't know.Soon, I finish my cereal, and put the bowl into the sink to wash later.
Well, I didn't do the dishes.
Loki does.
I simply tell him I don't remember how to wash them, even though it's simple.
It's a bit obvious too, that I could wash dishes.I walk back over to where Loki sat, Sam still on his lap.
Except, this time, Loki was smiling and petting Sam.
"So, you like cats now?" I say, suddenly.
He quickly looks up to me, and stops petting he cat.
"Of course not, they're awful creatures..."
"Mhm. Sure."
Sam jumps off of Loki's lap, and he lets out a sigh of relief.
He gets up, and goes to the kitchen for food.
Sam followed him.
"Knock it off, cat." He tells Sam.
"He has a name, you know?" I chuckle.
"Cat is much easier."
"How hard is it to remember the name 'Sam'?" I chuckle, "I mean, even I could remember it."
"Yes, well you feel strongly toward that name. I, however, don't."
"But I didn't even know who Sam was until, like, a few months ago. But I remembered him! The name! So you could remember the name Sam for a cat." I chuckle.
"Sure I can, however, I don't want to."
I roll my eyes, and bend down as Sam comes walking toward me.
"Hi there." I smile, as Sam rubs against my legs.
He purred, quietly.
"You like Loki, huh?" I whisper to Sam, as I pet him, "Yeah, he's not so bad."
...
It's around 10am, now.
There's not really much to do in here.
I was reading a book that I found on a shelf, and Loki?
He was using a string he found to play with Sam.
And he still claims not to like cats.
