Green Eyes Shimmer (Loki fan fiction)

Circus

~~~ Jordan's P.O.V ~~~

I had only just finished pulling on some clothes when the door bell went. Loki shouted up that a 'Lady' was at the door. I can't quite decide if i like the way he talks.

"Who is it?" i shouted down.

"I said, a Lady?"

"Yes i got that. What's her name?"

"Alex." Oh shit. Forgot i arranged to meet her today. 

"One second!" I pulled my hair into a haphazard ponytail and grabbed my laptop. 

When i got down staires Alex was making herself a drink and Loki was sitting on a bar stool, staring at her quizzically.  

"I am not good enough for you anymore?" Alex winked and came over to give me a hug. "He is a weird one, where did you pick him up?"

"Didn't exactly mean to. I hit him  with my car, brought him home to bandage him up, he doesn't have a place to stay so i said he could crash in my spare room. Has he told you he is Loki of Asgard yet?"

"Oh, only like, a 10 or 11 times." She smiled, kissed me on the cheek, then went to sofa and took out her History revision book. Loki fiddled with the collar of his shirt. I released that this was because he buttoned it up wrong. For goodness sake-and i have to find a job for this man!

"Oi! Stop playing with his shirt and help me! Some of us have an exam to pass!" I scoffed, i swear sometimes our relationship souley consists of me tutoring her.

"Yes my Lady!" i said winking at Loki, a smile twitched at his lips. I placed my laptop on the coffee table and started it up. Loki grabbed  the newspaper that got delivered today and plopped down on the sofa ajacent to ours. 

The next hour consisted of Alex and i going over the Civil Rights movement in the 1950-1970's. She looked adorable today, her hair had grown out of her pixie cut a little bit, so she put a rose clip in her fringe to keep it out of her hazel eyes. She had on leggings and an oversized cream jumper with minimal makeup. When she got confused, her face crumpled into a funny little scowl, she hates it when i say that, but as an honerary tutor i recon its one of the perks of my unpaid job. 

"God! I fucking hate History!" Alex yelled throwing her 800 page revision book right at Loki. "Ah shit sorry! Normally there are just pillows there." she said standing up to a) collect her book again and b) check she didn't brain an already broken person.

"Its not very nice to attack my guests you know sweetheart." She returned to our sofa and lay flat across my lap. 

"J.....do you have any food? Because, you know, i've been sooo good. I've been a busy revising bee! And you know you wouldn't want the love of your life to starve to death!"

"And since when were you the love of my life?" I winked at her and got up to find the brownie bites i brought for today. I threw Loki the rest of the sandwich he made a little while ago and made everyone a drink. 

"Now, anyone who wants brownie, has to answer my questions correctly. Okay?" Alex moved to sit next to Loki and they both shrugged. "Alex; What happened on October 19th 1960?" she mumbled that Martin Luther King joined the student sit-ins and was rewarded with a brownie bite. "Loki; how do you introduce yourself to strangers?"

"I am Loki of Asgard-"

"Nope! You say; Hello, my name is Loki. You might get weird looks because Loki does sound as though its been plucked right out of mythology, but that is what you say! Understand?" He nodded meekly. "Good boy." I threw a brownie bite at him and he caught it in his mouth, Alex whooped and clapped him on the back, he nearly choked on the damn brownie."Alex;  On March 12th 1964, what did Malcom X do?" She shouted that he left the Nation of Islam and stole the box of brownies. 

~~~~~~

 "Okay Alex, do you feel as though you can write this damn essay now?" She arrived this morning at about 11:30ish, its now around 8 o'clock. 

"I feel as though i could march my war horse into that exam room and slay them all with my tip top knowlodge on all things 1960's!" I smiled and kissed her on the cheek. 

"Thats what we like to hear! Now, dinner is on you, and i want Indian! Sound good to you Loki?" Alex shook him violently awake; i shot her a disaproving look and she shrugged while walking to the bathroom. "Sorry about that, do you want Indian take-away for dinner?"

"What is Indian?" His dark hair had lost its shape and fell across his face as a dark waterfall. 

"Its food traditionally eaten in India. Don't tell me i have to get you a job AND teach you geograpghy? It's had enough teaching her history and i actually like that." He shrugged and flopped back into the sofa.
