(Room)Mates [Loki x Reader]

Chapter 3

The train comes to a stop,the doors open and you abruptly begin sprinting your way towards your destination.

It was a 5 minute walk from the train station, one of the criteria why you want this place.

To your distress, the man still followed you.

He doesn't walk the same pace as you but still. You are getting followed. As best as you can you try to make it seem like you're just in a hurry and not terribly terrified by this man following your every move. Every corner, every street, he follows you strictly.

Almost a bit too much out of breath you stop at the apartment, a small group of people has already stacked itself in front of it. Relieved by the company you let yourself calm down a bit after the hasteful race you just had completed. The man also came to a stop. Right next to you, a bit amused by your running.

"Ah! I see you've already gathered! Great, as some of you were already speaking to me on the phone, some per Email. My name is Willson. Very pleased to meet all of you. I will check if everyone that has signed up is here?Is that ok with you?", a man, which becomes apparent as Mr. Willson emerges from the door.

Everyone looks around and nods in union.

"Ok so....", says Willson, then starts to list most names of the present people. Some weren't mentioned and left the group embarrassed as they attendet the wrong visiting.

"The last twoooo beingah yes Miss L/N and Mister Laufeyson? Is that correct?", he asks looking at the man next to me.

"Yes it is sir but I've told you already. Call me Loki.", he shortly, kind of angrily answers.

You start to laugh,immediately stopping when the man next to stares at you.

"Something funny my darling? Is there anything bothering you?", he harshly asks which startles you.

"Some temper that man has, jeez.", you once again think to yourself.

"Well then let's start the tour!", Willson states lifting the awkwardness of yours houlders.

Several people have already gone trough the apartment, all leaving with a shocked  or annoyed face.

Then, the so called Loki begins making his way to the front.

"My turn.", he says and looks at you while standing in the door frame.

"And she will be following us.", he states in a monotone voice.

Almost in a diabolic way you were intrigued by this whole game he was playing.

"Eh sure sir, are you two a pair? Because when I remember correctly they've made a single request for this.", Willson asks, you can hear the concern in his voice.

"That's right sir but I think since we are the last ones I don't mind going with him. And we are not a pair.", you answer seeing that Loki wanted to answer first. A succesfull grin is now painted on your face since you've won this time.

A weird feeling once again goes trough your body.Almost as if you wanted to be the one in charge of this entire thing.

So the three of you enter the building.

Walking trough the apartment, you notice Loki listening very careful to the thing you ask. Almost as if he wasn't interested in the living space but more so in you.

The apartment was really pretty, well structured and had a lot of things that already came with it, such as a kitchen, a bedroom and a fully functioning bathroom. Ending the tour you end up standing in the living room, the three of you standing in a circle.

"Well then are there any questions open? Or are you all cleared up?", Willson asks and the both of you just look at each other. You shake your head and the raven headed man does the same.

"Ok so if I understand correctly you both want this place right? How about sharing it?",the landlord brings up with a smile and you are set back.

Sharing with this Loki man? Was this really a good idea?

But before you can finish your thoughts Loki already intervenes.

"Sharing with her? Are you in your right mind. This is barely enough for me!", he mentions with a very angry tone. He then stares at you. Something feels very weird about his stare.

"I mean I wouldn't mind.Less rent for both of us.", you try to throw in. It seems like Loki got annoyed by your try to also talk.

But the mention of rent makes the green eyed man look confused.

"Paying for living are we? I uh...well it seem to have a problem.", he then says and scratches the back of his head.

Willson looks at Loki confused:" Your gonna figure this out right, the two of you? Ok good, here are the keys, call it yours."

Then he sprints out the building.

Very confused you turn your head to Loki, which does the same.

You build up courage and ask: "Why is there a problem?"

Meanwhile Loki wanders around the room,ignoring you and your question completely. He seems to be thinking harshly. "How can a man with such a expensive looking suit not have any money?!", you begin wondering to yourself in your thoughts.

"Woman, what was your name again?", Loki request but before you could answer he is already going on. "Well doesn't matter. Fact is, I do not posses any of the required money we, well I, need to be affording this wreckage of a home. Do you mind sharing with me, it would only be for business relations of course."

Most of the said things weren't really processing in your brain, as you were just watching him explain. He had this magic to him you didn't quite understand. It was something you've never experienced. Loki's gestures while explaining were breathtaking, such concentration.

"Hello? Are you even listening. Ah humans, so worthless.", you hear him state snapping out of your thoughts.

"I'm terribly sorry,sure I'd like to share. Do you have a job or something? Where do you come from if I may ask as your future roommate.", ignoring the facthe just called you human, you answer quickly.

"A job, oh dear no. And my heritage may not be of interest for you. So are you willing to be signing this peace of paper so we can continue and get moving?",Loki firmly answers to which you just stand there puzzled.

This man really did know how to be secretive and also say too much.
