[2] Just A Lost Girl | Avallone the Avenger

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR

Dedicated to @AlyssaLeighParrilla (Avalloki for life!)

The second movie in the Twilight series, New Moon had just finished when Loki walked into the lounge, rubbing his eyes.
"I'm actually glad you're here," James cried, jumping up from the floor where we were an running over to Loki.
"Save me from her," he half-whimpered behind Loki's back while he smiled at me.
I laughed and stood up, stretching my aching legs.
"Okay, okay, I admit, making you watch those movies was cruel. How about we watch something else then? Anyone up for a Disney marathon?"
I asked, searching for Disney movies on Netflix.
"Wait, Disney, as in Walt Disney?" James asked, coming out of hiding and flopping onto the couch behind me.
I nodded and continued my search. Would Frozen be a good movie to play?
"He wrote fairy tales, right?" James prodded.
I turned and looked at him. "Yeah, he did. How do you know that?"
"I grew up hearing those stories. They weren't that popular, but my parents were obsessed with him. After meeting the guy, once I think, they were completely taken with him."
I frowned. Was Walt Disney really that old? Like, old enough to meet James' parents? Wow, the world really is a small place.
"Okay, let's watch the best Disney movie of all time."

"I would have let the child die," Loki commented as Mufasa tried to save Simba from the stampede.
"You're heartless, you know that? I cried the first time I saw that," I said crossing my arms across my chest and smuggling closer to James.
"Those beasts are right, he did kill his father," Loki commented again, making me want to punch his pretty face in.
"Just shut up," James growled, sensing my annoyance. I smiled up at him and have him a little peck on the check.
Beside me, Loki 'hmmmphed' and angrily muttered something to himself.

~

"What a horrible movie," Loki said once the credits and started rolling. He had held in his bitter comments since James told him to shut up, but now he was free to lash out.
"I liked it." Bucky replied.
Loki snorted. "Of course. Beneath the façade of a heartless killer, this man secretly watches movies about animals and loves them."
James stood angrily, grabbing Loki by the throat.
"Don't hesitate to think I wouldn't take pleasure in killing you." He spat at Loki.
"I wouldn't," Loki replied, chuckling as James released his death-grip on his neck.
"Okay okay, how about a movie that would appeal more to Loki, huh?" I questioned, wiggling my brown eyebrows. Loki and James both looked confused at my suggestion.
I had heard from Thor of his brother's icy powers, and Frozen was the perfect movie for that, right?

Loki was silent the movie, with James commenting the whole time on Elsa and Anna.
"Anna is so awkward while Elsa is so distant and yet graceful. How are they sisters? They aren't even alike."
I ignored his annoying comments and watched Loki out of peripherals. He was literally studying the screen, watching it intently.
When Olaf started singing about summer he actually started laughing along with James.
When the movie finished James started making so many annoying comments.
"It was so obvious and so cliché that Kristoff was going to be Anna's love, though I didn't expect that Elsa was going to save her.
"I didn't like Elsa's character. Ice powers, really?
"Their parents just died, gone?
"Olaf was such a stupid character. A snowman who loved summer, how stupid."
I turned to him and slapped him across the face.
"Shut up!"
Loki started chuckling on the other side of me, and I got up, shaking my head.
"I have to say, that Midguardian entertainment was not that bad. Are you going to do another?" Loki asked. following me to the laptop which I had accidentally left in the kitchen when I was making popcorn.
"Yeah, but this will probably scare the the stuffing out of you," I replied, choosing a horror movie. Yes, I'm guessing he had seen much worse than this personally, but still, it was a pretty scary movie.
"Are you two coming?" James yelled from the lounge. Wow, someone sounded impatient.
I chuckled and grabbed Loki's hand and pulling him into the lounge, his questions being thrown constantly at me.
As the movie, the Exorcist started playing, I snuggled down next to the two men on either side of me.

"I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep tonight," I commented once the movie had finished. It was my first time seeing but I had heard it was pretty scary.
"Neither," Bucky replied, turning to stare at me with hollow eyes.
"You mortals are pathetic." Loki snorted and smiled.
During the whole movie he hasn't flinched, moved or cried out once, while I was squirming around nearly the whole time.
Once, James got up to go toilet or throw up, something scary happened and I screamed and buried my face into Loki's shoulder. Instantly, his hand had come up around my waist and he pulled me closer to him. He had started whispering soothing words into my ear, and stroked my hair. It had calmed me, and he had held my hand through the rest of the movie. It was dark, so James didn't see.
"I- I think I'm going to go to bed. Goodnight." Bucky said, getting up before I could ask him something. I had wanted to spend the night with him, not in that way, but only because I wouldn't be able to sleep on my own.
The silence between Loki and I was awkward for the first few moments before he spoke up.
"I admit, that movie was mildly frightening, but nothing to haunt me like my past." He stood up, dropping my hand and walking to the kitchen. In other words, I was alone in the dark.
I quickly followed him into the kitchen.
"Missing my company already?" He questioned, a smirk on his face.
I shook my head and sidled up to him, getting closer than James would have liked.
"You left me alone in a dark room after watching the world's scariest movie!" I slapped his shoulder lightly.
"You're being dramatic," he said, pouring two glasses of water. Was he really that thirsty?
He handed me one and I smiled at him.
"Am not. It might not be scary to you, but to me, that was just . . ." I shivered and looked into my cup.
Loki sighed and glanced at me, wearily.
"I'm going to take a guess that you don't want to spend the night alone, right? So, and this is a one time offer, I am offering you to spend the night with me. Not in the way that you will most likely think, but just for company."
I stared at him, shocked. My opinion on this guy was that he was crazy, insane, and now he had just offered to spend the night with me to keep me company, an offer I wasn't going to decline no matter what.
"Okay."
