In-between Love Sweat And Tears (Loki Short Stories And One Shots)

Sakaar pt 6

A/N: I was trying to find someone who was a fighter but also had scumbag like tendencies/feelings to him to portray Hiloas. So the picture is a close one, it's good art so no offense to the artist in any way. Also, the song from Steven Universe is random but I love it, and it's a little depiction of how you and Loki literally know each other in a real fight. :) Credits belong to both artists respectively)

Your scowl was definitely visible as you stared ahead at the man standing before you and Loki, and your sword was already drawn. It looked like you were defending Loki, but you were defending yourself more at this point.

"How did you get in, Hiloas?" You ask warily. "The Grandmaster still thinks I'm quite the catch, you know. It's not that hard to make him weak at the knees. Though I can't say the same for you. You're such a tightly wrapped tart." He almost snarls it out at you, before his echoing footsteps begin to close the gap.

However, Loki is standing in front of you now, holding silver daggers with blue hilts. "I beg your pardon. That's no way to speak to a lady, especially one who's on a higher tier than whatever swamp filled hole you've crawled out of."

Hiloas stops, glancing between the both of you before he scoffs in disbelief. "So, you went from a so-called warrior to stirring the pot of a slutty siren. I guess it was bound to happen, but you could have better taste."

"Sorry, I don't typically go for the men with performance issues." You sneer back at Hiloas, who seems to become angered. "You're the one who cheated in our battles." You scoff with disbelief. "I took you down fair and square. You're the one who can't be humbled by obvious defeat, getting your knickers in a twist from losing to a girl three times over."

Taking out a cutlass sword from its sheath, Hiloas begins to approach again. "You were a worthless opponent!"

"Is that why you waited until I was almost so drunk that I couldn't walk properly before you snuck into my room? And look what happened, I still kicked your ass."

"You weren't fighting me when you thought I was loving you, now did you?"

"Me, loving you?! I never had an interest in you! You were forcing yourself upon me!"

Loki's sickening rage from two nights ago had come back as he listened to the interaction, and he felt all the more needed to protect you.

You had glanced at Loki quickly as his aura had changed, before you were standing in front of him again. And closer to Hiloas as he was closing the gap. "This is my fight, Loki." You whispered angrily, holding your sword defensively. "I'm not letting you fight alone."

"How sickening." You and Loki are interrupted by Hiloas suddenly charging, and he's definitely after you.

Swords scraping together, there's already sparks flashing from just how rough Hiloas is trying to get at you.

There's definitely more than hateful anger as he fights you, and you're defending Loki while sparring Hiloas.

But Loki isn't just standing there.

He knows your movements, and is protecting your vital spots much to Hiloas's fueled disappointment. And you aren't one to be one sided, as you knew Loki's movements in return. You two have tangoed before, multiple times, and even with the long lost time between, it's like you never missed a beat.

"Two on one? This is exactly what I mean when you're a cheater!" "Oh? And pray tell, where was this excuse when it was just me?"

Gritting his teeth, Hiloas suddenly pulls out a small blaster and goes to shoot Loki, but you're the one who takes the hit as you quickly jump in front of him.
You don't even feel it as you advance on Hiloas and knock the gun out of his hand, and are forcibly kicking him out of the window.
