The Bad Hero

Ch.7

I went to my room and waited nervously. I knew Loki was in trouble and I could tell something bad was about to happen. After seeing Thor that angry I knew that we had done something bad. I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes remembering the way it felt when Loki's hands trailed up and down my sides, and the way his cool soft lips felt on mine. 

"Alice? Alice, love please wake up." I felt a large hand caressing my face and I opened my eyes to find Loki sitting next to me. "I'm sorry to wake you ,but we need to talk." 

I nodded and sat up. I grabbed a pillow and held it next to my stomach. "Are you in trouble?" I asked looking at him guiltily.

'No I am not." He said with a soft smile, but his face turned serious again as he started talking, "But we,... we are not allowed to be with each other." 

I knew it I saw this coming it would happen to me of course. "What why?"

"Well, its complicated..." He said placing his hands on his lap and lowering his head. 

"What!? No! don't give me that bull shit! I had an amazing time and I thought you did too!! I, I just, I don't understand!" I shouted standing up and pacing, "Do you not really like me? Is that it?" 

"What no! Of course I like you! I like you a lot actually..." He said grabbing my wrists and looking me in the eyes " It's just your well a mortal and I'm a god and I would end up hurting you it just wouldn't end well." 

"Wait this is because I'm a mortal?" I asked looking at him in disbelief. "Are those your words or your brothers?"

"Well he put the idea in my head , but after thinking it over I realized he was right." He said letting me go. 

"Well then you need to think it over again! What about his Jane? She is a mortal and they are still together?" I said frustrated that Thor was trying to stop us from being together when he was doing the same thing that we were doing. 

"I..hmmm" Loki said looking like he was deep in thought." I suppose you are right," he said looking at me. I nodded eagerly in agreement. "But I am bad, to bad for you I would hurt you and it would not end up pretty I don't know what I'm doing I would screw it up some how just as I have done with everything else in my life." He said turning around. 

"No." I said walking up behind him and wrapping my arms around his waist. "I am not good either remember? I am the bad hero.... your bad hero." I whispered and I heard him chuckle, which made me smile." No matter what you do I will not let you screw this up ok? " I walked around him and took his face in my hands. "You will not screw this up. You are amazing, you might not see it yet but I do and one day everybody else will too." 

"Your amazing." He whispered leaning in and pressing his lips lightly to mine. I smiled against his lips and grabbed his face before pushing my lips hungrily to his.he pulled back smiling, "Feisty... now that is my type of girl." 

After another half hour of snuggles, kisses, and whispers we left to go grab some food. While in the kitchen I realized that there was no junk food. I left Loki, who was eating an apple while sitting on the counter, and went up to one of the chefs. "Hey do you have any sugar in this joint?" 

"Uhm no Mrs. Alice we do not. It is not on the dietary plan of a hero to be putting unhealthy substances in your body."  I could tell he was lying because of the way he tilted his head slightly to the left. 

"Oh, really? Well that sucks... oh well..." I said  in a whiny voice will giving him my best puppy dog face. He sighed and gave me a look. I straightened up and smiled. He silently nodded his head towards a pantry door. I nodded and gave him an award winning smile he chuckled and turned around walking to the other side of the kitchen. 

I went over to the pantry door and opened it. I was disappointed with is contents. All I found were vegetables until I saw a little back door that looked big enough to fit the size of a minnie fridge. I walked to the back and opened the little door. 

"Jackpot" I whispered quietly. I ran back out of the pantry and yelled at Loki to get me a basket. He came back carrying a basket that looked like a picnic basket. I started stuffing it with different sugary foods from Swedish fish to Twinkies to Hershey's chocolate. I even found some cans of mountain dew. 

After filling the basket i grabbed Loki's hand and dragged him out of the kitchen ignoring his questions about why I was so excited about this particular food, and why we had to sneak it out, and why there was such a small amount of it in the kitchen. 

Once we where back In my room I hopped on the bed and opened a can of mt. dew to Loki. 

"What is it?" He asked smelling the can and inspecting it. 

"Just try it. I promise you will like it." he nodded and took a sip of it. Before I knew it he was throwing the empty can away and reaching for another. "Wow jeez slow your roll we only have 10 cans so we gotta ration them out. I don'tknow when we will get another supply." He nodded and drank his next can quite a bit slower. I opened a pack of sour patch kids and handed one to him. He smiled and took it from my hand. He popped it in his mouth and no later than a second was he over at the trash can spitting it out. 

"Egh what was that awful thing?" He asked with his face contorted as if he was in pain. 

"It..It was a sour patch kid! A candy. " I giggled holding my stomach. 

"Well I do not like your sour children do you have anything else that tastes better than that?" He asked coming over and sitting cross legged in front of me on my bed. I nodded and reached into the basket. 

And that was how we spent the rest of our night.
