Unlikely Friends

Chapter Three: Bad Idea

NOTICE: THE AGES OF THE CHARACTERS WILL JUMP AROUND. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

They're gunna clean up your looks,
With all the lies in the books,
To make a citizen out of you,
Because they sleep with a gun,
And keep an eye on you, son,
So they can watch all the things you do,
Because the drugs never work,
They're gunna give you a smirk,
Cause they got methods of keepin' you clean,
They gunna rip up your heads,
Your aspirations to shreds,
Another cog in the murder machine,
They said all,
Teenagers scare,
The living shit out of me,
They could care less,
As long as someone'll bleed,
So darken your clothes,
Or strike a violent pose,
Maybe they'll leave you alone,
But not me,
The boys and girls in the clique,
The awful names that they stick,
You're never gunna fit in much, kid,
But if you're troubled and hurt,
What you got under your shirt,
Will make them pay for the things that they did,
They said all,
Teenagers scare,
The living shit out of me,
They could care less,
As long as someone'll bleed,
So darken your clothes,
Or strike a violent pose,
Maybe they'll leave you alone,
But not me,
Oh yeah!
They said all,
Teenagers scare,
The living shit out of me,
They could care less,
As long as someone'll bleed,
So darken your clothes,
Or strike a violent pose,
Maybe they'll leave you alone,
But not me,
All together now!
They said all,
Teenagers scare,
The living shit out of me,
They could care less,
As long as someone'll bleed,
So darken your clothes,
Or strike a violent pose,
Maybe they'll leave you alone,
But not me,
They said all,
Teenagers scare,
The living shit out of me,
They could care less,
As long as someone'll bleed,
So darken your clothes,
Or strike a violent pose,
Maybe they'll leave you alone,
But not me.

Okay, Loki had to admit that it was a bad idea. A terrible one even, and he completely blames Percy. It was his idea to try and sneak out of Asgard. He knew they wouldn't be able to. Loki had tried to stop him, honestly he did but Percy was so dam stubborn, so he tagged along... to make sure he didn't do anything stupid. Obviously.

Well, perhaps he wanted to see how things worked out.

Loki stood at the entrance of the Bilröst, a small present clutched in his hands. This was the second time (well the first if you don't count the incident last year, when they didn't come home. But never mind the technicalities) Percy didn't spend the whole summer on Asgard, though Percy at least came home for his birthday. As Loki stared at the back of Heimdall he couldn't help but let a small smile spread out onto his lips; Percy was his friend. Nobody else's, his. Not Thor's friend, everybody wanted to be Thor's friend, but not Percy. Loki continuously had to remind himself that Percy was his friend and wouldn't leave or forget him because friends don't leave each other behind. As awesome as Percy was, Loki felt like he should be concerned that his inner voice was starting to sound suspiciously like him.

Still lost in his own world, Loki didn't notice the Bilröst begin to power-up. It was only when the bright, rainbow coloured lights began to blind him, did Loki realise his friend would be arriving soon. A face splitting grin made its way onto Loki's face as he shielded his eyes from the eye-melting flash which announced his friend's arrival.
