The Prince of Mischief and Me

The almost kisses

A few more days had passed since the first performance, we had performed it a few more times to different people but eventually Odin asked for something new. I had given the idea to do a Kabaret so each student could show their talents and we wouldnt need to all rehearse together. I offered to put a scheudel together and then i would post it in the group chat which my teacher agreed was a good idea.

I hadn't seen or spoken to Loki much in the last few days. He didn't come to any of the meals nor did i see him on my strolls of the Palace gardens. It was like he was purosefully avoiding me. Emily and Thor seemed to be getting along very well, i basically have the entire room to myself since she spends more nights in his room. I couldn't tell if it was serious or just sex but i guess time would tell. I laid on my bed writing up the scehduel for the kabaret tonight whena knock at the door interupted my thoughts. I quickly closed my laptop and opened the door to see Loki stood there.

"Loki, hello! How are you? I havn't seen you in a while?" He bowed his head and then looked at me with sad eyes.

"My apologies Opheria, i had some trouble to attend to regarding the palace."

"Not too much i hope, you look tired." He chucked and nodded.

"Nothing i couldn't deal with" i moved to the side to let him in which he gladly abliged. "No Emily?"

"She's having some alone time with Thor again!"

"Don't they get tired?" Loki joked. I laughed and sat down on my bed. "Emily must have some energy to keep up with my baffoon of a brother. How are you faring today?"

"i'm ok. Just sorting stuff out for our kabaret tonight" i watched Lokis eyes light up

"Are you performing?" I shook my head.

"Not tonight. Tonight is my night off. Tomorow is a no performance day so i also have tomorow off which is good. I havnt managed to read much since getting here." Loki nodded and laid down on the bed, his arm under his head and the other on his stomach. "Make yourself comfortable your highness" i joked and i watched him smirk.

"Loki, may i ask you a question?" He didn't answer with words, he just simply nodded a yes. "Why do they call you the prince of mischief? You seem so kind and caring?" I heard him chuckle and watched as he stared at the ceiling.

"I wasn't always the person you see today. When i was younger i was quite horrendous to deal with, starting fights, wars! I nearly caused my fathers death on more than one occassion. I banished my brother and i lied to his face, telling him our mother had died. I ust to pull pranks on people, horrible pranks that would make people hate me. All that is in the past now. It is time i grew up. The voices in my head are gone"

"I see! Whats your plans for the day then? Loki sat up and looked at me shocked "what?"

"I just told you i had voices in my head and you ask me what my plans for the day are?"

"Loki what you just told me was a thing of the past, i didn't know you then, so i have no right to judge you...only to trust you" i looked into Lokis bright green eyes and smiled. I noticed he started to lean towards me and i followed his actions. I don't now why. Had this sudden urge but it just felt right. Just as our lips were about to touch Emily burst through the door, causing us to quikcly jump apart.

"Oh my god you will not believe it, Thor asked me to the ball they're having tomorow. Urgh he is so fit Rhea." Emily prounced around the room, not looking at me and therefore not noticing Loki sat on the bed. "I need to find an outfit suitable enough and then something sexy for underneath so i can continue our fun on the night"

I blushed and tried to stop Emily but she was having none of it

"Omg what if Loki asked you to go? Like could you imagine. I know you fancy him so imagine if he asked you to dance. How sweet would that be and-" Emily finally turned and looked to me and Loki. I motioned with my face how awkward i felt and her face turned bright red.
