Hanahaki Disease

Blue and Green

I was so happy when he came back.
He was still tall as ever...
Blue hair..
Has a beard growing in now...
Piercings...
His wolf ears are gone..
And the tail..
He just looks so.....

Good?
****
"Max...." I smiled softly, hugging him.
He hugged me as well and spun me around.
"You look so good....how are you..?" He asked.

"I'm fine...how's everyone...? Bianca..Nathan... Ethan...Zoe....and Naomi....?" I asked
Max gave a warm smile.
"They still love you...." He said.
****
He had left afterwards to go back home for...something he didn't tell me.
I miss him already...

"Why is it that only you remain at the tower?" I asked.
Strange turned around to look at me and smiled softly.
"This is the only piece and quiet I get from them when they're away." He said.
I sat next to him.
"I love you. But....you're right....we should just be friends." Stephen said.
"I love you too....are you you about this?" I asked, slowly reaching for his hand.
He grabbed it, kissed it, then nodded.
"I'm sure....at least for awhile." Stephen said.

"Where's thor then?" I asked.
"His home." Stephen said.
"Then let's give him a small visit." I said.
****
"You aren't allowed here vile beast." The gatekeeper said.
I shrugged and walked off.

"Why are you here?" Thor asked.
"Hey! I wanted to ask you that!" I smiled.

Thor looked over at Stephen.
"Wizard."
"God of thunder."
"You're with him, love?" Thor had asked, looking back at me.

"He's my partner in cases, not love. There's a difference." I said.
"So...what you're saying is...you're with me?" He asked.
I looked at Stephen.
He had looked away, at all the interior.
"I-.....yes. Yes..." I responded.
"Are you sure...?" Thor asked, getting up from the throne.

"I'm sure...." I said, slowly letting go of Stephen's hand.
****

I don't know if I was sure.
They're both amazing...
I had to choose one...

I couldn't choose one...
My mind says Thor...

My body said another.
****
*night*
"Have you chose another person for you?" Loki asked.
I shook my head.
"I love them both. I don't want to hurt the other if I choose 'the wrong one'." I said.

"You love them both dearly....as you once did for me. I apologize for what I did. But onto the original subject....you love them both so much, right? My brother won't shut the hell up about you. Your his angel. And Stephen on the other hand....I can tell he gets all different, feels different, and more important around you. He cares about you secretly and won't admit it. They both care about you." He said, smiling softly.
"Why is it that I even find you more attractive right now!? Ugh! I hate myself!" I whined, covering my face with my hands.

"I remember at a party when we were young teenagers as the humans call it, tweens, you asked me to dance. I was so nervous I stepped on your feet twice and/or almost every time....but you laughed and told me it was fine. That's when I found out I cared about you a lot." Loki said, looking away.

"Then later on we went on a date in the gardens, you turned into a snake, and I got scared." I laughed.
"Then your brother came in to save the day and...hurt you. That's when you started to abuse me. That and because your father and my father had a fight and you took your Father's anger and aimed it at me...." I sighed.
Loki draped his arm on my shoulders and pulled me closer.
"Is it wrong....to fall in love with someone that you hurt so much in the past...?" He asked, looking at me.

"No....no it's not. At least...until you stopped doing it." I said, looking into his eyes.
His blue eyes always seemed to calm me...even as they shifted to green at times.
"You look so beautiful in the night....your hair flows of beauty and-"
He stopped and laughs.
"I'm trying to sound like my idiot of a brother....you look amazing in the moonlight." He smiled.
I placed my hand on his cheek and stroked it with my thumb.
"Handsome....why the title god of mischief...? In my disposal you're the god of calmness and the kind. Have you have a change of heart for me...?" I asked.
Loki nodded slowly and turned his head to kiss the inside of my palm.
"I have to for a lady....especially for a beautiful woman in front of me...." Loki chuckled.

He and I got into a waltz position and we began to move slowly.
"I've never danced in the moonlight...Thor was always bright and light with the parties with so many people. And with you....just us two. Not so loud. Not so quiet. Just right. Just us two and out conversations." I said.
We spun around a bit.
"I'll take the lead...and I agree. This is nice with just us." He said.
"Can I say something crazy?" I asked.
Loki dipped me.
"I love crazy." He smiled slyly, slowly helping me up.

"When I'm with you.....I forget them both." I said.
"When I'm with you....I forget I'm mischievous." Loki smiled.
We stopped dancing and separated a bit.
He grabbed my hand and smirked.
"You've never failed to make me smile...." he said, moving a few hairs behind his ear.

"Handsome...." I muttered.
Loki looked at me surprised, genuinely.
"W-What did you call me...?" He asked, inching closer in a matter of excitement.
"I've said it before....I'll say it again~." I chuckled.
Loki moves closer to me as his face was more closer.
He looked so innocent.
"Beautiful.....no wonder your species is called divine..." Loki whispered.

He had his hands on my hips.
I had my arms on his shoulders.
His eyes were so enchanting.
His smiles almost killed me.

After the long silence he did something to me we haven't done in so long.....

We kissed.
