Between Brothers (Thor Love Story)

Chapter Eight: Happy Birthday- Or Is It?

Well, howdy! No? Ok. I thank you for reading this, and I want you all to know that comments are greatly appreciated!

THOR'S POV

Sam's birthday is tomorrow. She told me about the tradition she has with her brother and sister. I do not know what this Ritz is, but I think it will be up to me to keep the tradition going.

I asked them about it, and they said it was a human eatery. I have what the humans call a credit card. Sam also got that for me. So, I shall take Artemis and Brayden to the Ritz. Strange how their parents would name their daughter Artemis. I have met her, and she is rather paranoid about men. It is just too strange.

LOKI'S POV

I want Sam to be happy, but that can't happen if she is stuck in the mansion. So I decided to let her out in the world for a little bit. Was that right to do? I do not like the idea of being out in public though. She might be tempted to run.

What am I saying? Of course she'll run! This is a bad idea. I shouldn't have mentioned it. But it's too late now. Oh well.

SAM'S POV

Well, tomorrow's my birthday (AN: FYI, Dec. 11 is my actual birthday, so if you want to get me anything... I accept money and candy. :p). Yeah, I'm going to be 20! And then I will officially be perfect, not that I'm not already. Was that sentence confusing to you too? Anyway, the perfect thing is that when you are 19 and younger, you are a child/teenager, and 21 and older are adults. When you are 20, you are nobody, and people say nobody's perfect... Get it? No? Okay, I'll stop trying to be funny now...

Anyway (again), tomorrow I'm going to escape. Not try, actually escape. I'm glad to be getting home, but I actually will kind of miss Loki. He's pretty funny, sensitive, caring, handsome, and pretty much just like Thor. I miss him. But I will see him again, so it's all good.

I have no idea what I'm going to wear tomorrow, but it has to be modest, fancy, comfortable, and easy to run in.

THE NEXT DAY

I woke to the smell of burnt bacon. I jumped out of bed and rushed to the kitchen on my floor. Loki installed a kitchen up here last month. Took him forever.

When I got to the kitchen, Loki was jumping around with a smoking frying pan, trying to get whatever was in it out. I burst out laughing at the sight, but I sobered as I thought of the wasted bacon. Alas, poor bacon, I knew thee well.

Loki looked at me with a sheepish grin. "I wanted to wake you up with breakfast in bed, but I cannot cook as well as you."

"The food you normally bring me is delicious!"

"I don't cook it. I usually summon it from thin air. Today, I wanted to give you a home cooked meal."

I walked up to him and gave him a hug, and kissed his cheek. I've stopped the hate phase, and now it's the friend zone. "Well, it's the thought that counts. How about I make the rest of the bacon, and some pancakes, then I run back to bed and you bring it to me there. Deal?"

He smiled. "Deal."

I must say, it was a pleasant surprise to get breakfast in bed. *Wink, wink.* Hmm, I wonder if anyone is going to take Brayden and Artemis to the Ritz. If so, I hope to run into them.

LOKI'S POV

She kissed me. She kissed me. She kissed me, she kissed me, she kissed me! Well, it was on the cheek, but still! She kissed me! Oh, I think I am about to fly away. I never want to come down.

I go to her room and sit on the edge of the bed with the food she made. "Well, milady, here is a breakfast fit for a queen. Enjoy."

She sits up in bed and looks surprised. She is a very good actress. "Why, thank you, kind sir! May I ask where the syrup is? No breakfast should be without syrup!" I snap my fingers and syrup appears, as usual.

I pull a box out of my pocket and give it to her. "Happy birthday!" I watch as she opens it, as that one lock of hair falls over her face and she gasps in surprise. She pulls out a silver necklace with a heart on the end. It's a locket, and inside is a picture of her, and an empty space for her to fill.

"Loki, it's beautiful! I love it. Thank you."

My pulse quickens. I lean towards her. I'm about to kiss her when she stops me. "Look, Loki, you're a good guy, mostly, but I'm still going out with Thor. I'm not going to cheat on him like that, especially with my kidnapper." Kidnapper. That's all she sees me as. That's all I ever will be.

I nod and stand up quickly. "Well, we had better start getting ready. I will see you in a few hours."

I'm a horrible person.

So, I know its short and kind of lame, but that's because this is more of a filler chapter. I HAVE 430 READS! THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION! I never thought that I would get this many reads, ever!
