Something Unexpected

Chapter 5

Loki's P.O.V

And Thor is back to avoiding me.
Well...
Not exactly avoiding me.
It's just...
He doesn't  look me in the eye anymore.
But I did notice he sometimes looks at me.
When he sees I'm looking,he looks away.

Before... Whatever happened,he wouldn't look away.

He would just look me in the eye for a few seconds before looking away.

And,when we do talk,it's always short.
Not as long as before.
If I ask him for us to spend time together,he refuses most of the time,saying he's busy.
Busy with what,exactly?
That I don't know,since he never told me.

But I really doubt he's so busy.
Especially because mother and father both tell me Thor is just being in his room every time he says he's busy.

I thought we got past him avoiding me...
I thought we're okay...

I guess I was wrong.

Thor's P.O.V

I know that I'm being odd again,after acting normal for some time.

You see,I avoid looking in Loki's eyes because I could stare at them forever.

And if I stare,Loki would surely notice it.

Which wouldn't be good.

Also,staring is creepy.
And I'm not a creep.

Anyway, that's why I decided I'll avoid looking in his eyes. Because I would get lost in them.

I know it bothers him that I avoid looking in his eyes. And I know it bothers him that I don't talk a lot with him.

But,I really don't know what else to do.

I constantly feel like I'll blurt out that I love him.

It's not a nice feeling.

I can't tell him I love him.
That would ruin everything.

Ugghh,what do I do?

I won't ask mother anymore.

She smacked me the last time I asked her and she told me I'm being ridiculous and that I should just tell him I love him.

The advice she gives me is to tell Loki that I love him and I'm the one that's ridiculous...

Right....

Sure...

*after 2 hours*

Mother found me and asked if I talked to Loki about our feelings.

When I said I didn't,she had that face that says she's done with me.

Well,I'm done too.

Done with feeling afraid that I'll confess my feelings accidentally.

And I'm done with being nervous around Loki.

She,once again,tells me I should confess.

I,once again,tell her I can't.

And then I leave,because I just know that she'll,once again,say that Loki loves me back and that I have nothing to be scared of.

I do have stuff to be sacred of,okay?

Telling someone that you love them isn't easy.

Especially when you could lose them forever because of it.

Speaking of which,I see Loki walking towards me.

I'll talk to him. I can't avoid him anymore.

And I don't want to act this way towards him anymore.

Loki's P.O.V

I see Thor walking towards me.
I expect that he'll go away and act like he's busy.
But he doesn't.
He comes over and starts talking to me.

Which is surprising,considering his behavior.

"How are you,Loki? We didn't talk in awhile."

No offense,Thor,but who's fault is that,exactly?

"I'm fine,Thor. How about you? Still incredibly busy?"

Ah. There it is. The guilty look in his eyes.

I knew he wasn't actually busy.
I just knew it.

"I,um,yeah,I am. I'm sorry about that.
We'll definitely talk properly after I'm done with the things I need to do."

Right,sure,as if.

"Well,I'm looking forward to it."
I smile and hope he can't tell it's fake.

"Well,umm,I shall see you later then".
And with that,he left somewhere again.

Just great.

It seems all he wants is to stay away from me.

I don't like this.

Not a little bit.
