Astro and Wonderman Book 4: Awakening Magic

You need me because I remind you of her

(Darkness point of view)

We walked into the party and when we came in Lex finished singing a song and ran to Loki and said his name excitedly.

"Your here. Your really here" Lex cried.

"You didn't actually think I was serious when I said I wouldn't come did you?" Loki asked.

"It doesn't matter. All that matters is your here" Lex said smiling.

"Told ya you'd be here" Pixie said as she hugged him.

"Now why don't you have fun with your girlfriend" Pixie smirked at him.

"She's not my girlfriend!" Loki said blushing a little red.

"Oh really. Then what's with the fancy getup. Besides, your blushing a little you know" Pixie smiled.

"Because it's hot. I'm not used to dressing really nice these days because I don't go out much anymore" Loki said.

"Say what you want but the face never lies" Pixie teased.

"Don't you have a birthday to celebrate" Loki said then.

"Well the important thing is you have fun tonight okay" Pixie smiled.

Then Meowstro and Pupman came in. "Hey, Loki. How are things with you?" Meowstro asked.

Loki avoided looking straight into her eyes and he said "They've been fine"

"Do you need to talk? You know I'm always here when you need me" Meowstro said.

"I'm okay, Mom" Loki said still trying not to look her directly into her eyes.

"Well if you need us we'll talk to you whenever you want to" Pupman said.

"Okay, Dad" Loki said looking away from them both.

Then Pupman and Meowstro went towards the dancing part of the party.

"You ok?" I asked a little worried.

"I know I'm trying to think more positive but.....there's still a strong part of me that blames me for.......You know. I can't look them in the eyes anymore. Not after what I did" Loki said.

"I'm here for you. And you should know it wasn't your fault" I said.

"Yeah but still....." Loki said.

Suddenly, I was desperate to make him smile because he was going back to the void of darkness. I knew better then to let his mind wonder when he was in one of these moods.

"Let's go dance, or eat, or whatever you want to do. Just whatever you want to do" I smiled.

Loki smiled a little bit but not enough for comfort. Then he said "Why don't we dance?"

"Wait would you want to kiss me?" I asked.

Loki blushed a bright red then. "Is there something on your mind?" Loki asked looking off into the distance.

"Huh? Um....well you. I mean nothing. It's nothing at all. Never mind. We don't have to if you don't want to..." I was saying. Then Loki leaned in closer slowly as I was talking and then he kissed me on the lips. I was shocked for a second but I was the one asking for the kiss so I had to kiss back. I wrapped my arms around him then and passionately kissed him just like I had always wanted to do in my dreams.

After a little bit he pulled away. "I forgot how......amazing kissing can be. I haven't kissed anyone in a really long time" Loki said as he blushed a bright red.
