Something Unexpected

Chapter 7

Loki's P.O.V

I.... Ummmm...

What?

Am I hallucinating?

Did I hit my head?

Or did Thor hit his head?

Perhaps he's under some spell.

He- He can't possibly mean what he said.

That's- That's impossible.

There's absolutely no way he means those words.

I am overjoyed and worried at the same time.

I seriously have no idea what's happening.

"You... You what?"

He looks worried now.

But about what,exactly?

"I love you,Loki. More then anything.
And I decided to finally tell you that."

He... He actually means it.

I can't believe it.

He... He loves me back.

I don't think I've ever been happier then in this moment.

Thor's P.O.V

I admit,I'm concerned.

Loki isn't saying anything.

At all.

He's just standing there looking shocked and like he can't believe what I just said.

He finally looks at me.

And he smiles.

"I love you too,Thor."

He... He loves me back.

He loves me back!

I'm the happiest person alive right now.

I hug him and pull him close.

I can do that now without fear of being stabbed.

I giggle at this thought.

Loki looks at me in confusion.

"It's nothing,love."
I pull him even closer and stroke his hair.

He nuzzles.

It's adorable.

Loki's P.O.V

Did... Did he just call me love?

I look at him.

"What,Loki?"

Did he even notice he did that?
It doesn't seem like he did.

"You called me love,Thor."

Judging by the face he just made,he didn't realize either.

"I,ummm... I'm sorry,Loki. I won't call you that again."

I won't deny,it feels strange being called that by someone.

But,I'll get used to it.

And I don't exactly mind him calling me that.

"Thor,I don't mind. Yes,it's a bit unusual,but,that's because no one before you called me that. I'll get used to it."

He looks at me,still looking worried about this.

"Are you sure? I can always find something else to call you,if this name bothers you."

I can't help but roll my eyes.

"Yes,Thor I'm sure. Completely sure
I would tell you if it bothered me. Like I always do tell you if something is bothering me or if I don't like something."

He looks relived and he finally relaxes.

He begins to stroke my hair again.

I don't know why he does it,but,I won't complain.
It feels nice.

He stops and gestures to the picnic "Shall we go eat now? I'm hungry."

I raise an eyebrow.

"Aren't you always hungry?"

He pouts and goes to the picnic,taking the food out.

"Not always,Loki."

I snicker and sit next to him.

"Yeah,sure,Thor. Of course not. You're definitely not always hungry. What exactly was I thinking when I said that?"

He makes a face that says I just deeply insulted him.

Which I know he's faking.

I know how his face looks like when he's actually insulted.

I roll my eyes and boop his nose.

The look on his face is definitely worth it.

Looking at the food,I notice it's all of our favorites.

Thor really does think of everything,doesn't he?

That doesn't surprise me at all.

"So... Thor... Do tell... Is this a date?"

He looks nervous again.
"Ummm... If you want it to be,then yes,it is."

I think about it for a few seconds.

Thor is looking at me ,clearly worried about my answer.

"Well... I don't mind that. It can be a date."

He beams and smiles.

"Alright,great! Um,I hope you'll like the food. I made it myself."

Okay...
Not good...

You see,Thor can't cook.

He can bake,yes.
He's great at baking. He really is.

But, not at cooking.

And I never told him that,because he really does try hard to make the food good.

I just don't have the heart to tell him that he can't cook.

I'm sure I'll regret that decision.

I know I'll have to tell him...
I do...

But...

I don't want to deal with his sad puppy face.

It's horrible.

I can't handle it.
Which,I'm pretty sure no one can handle.

But if I don't tell him,we both might die from his food.

There's a high possibility of that happening.

Despite that,I take some food and eat.

It's actually not that bad.
We both might live after all.

"Is it good?"
Thor is obviously nervous about my reply. I guess he also knows his cooking isn't the best.

"It's good,Thor. Really."

He nods,relived,and takes some food for himself.

I seriously don't understand how he doesn't notice that it's bad.

But,then again,Thor does eat almost everything. So I guess he wouldn't notice.

We eat in a comfortable silence.

I'd almost dare to say that this date is going good.
