"So, Loki, is it?" Liam asked with wide eyes.

"Yeah," Loki replied with a growling smirk.

"You stuck too?" He asked it oh so casually.

"Yeah..." Loki looked at me as if he was in some kind of pain.

"That's good.... Not that you're stuck.... b-but because you know... you are stuck together..." he paused looking at his hands, "that didn't sound correct at all..."

"Shit happens..." I said forcing a small chuckle at the end.

 "Yep..." Loki rolled his eyes.

I stood up and went over to the fridge, I could feel Liam's awkwardness and Loki's jealousy... Even though he had just devoured me in the bedroom a moment ago.

"So, what's your real name?" Loki spat at Liam.

"My user name is Liam, but my real name is Henry," He said coughing when he said username, probably embarrassed a little.

"Henry?" Loki chortled, "what a pathetic sounding name," Loki grimly said throwing his head back against the couch's back.

Liam scoffed, "Well, what's yours?"

"Lawrence," Loki groaned, "how'd you guys meet?" Loki glared at me upside down as I got some water into my glass.

"I ran into some trouble and he just saved me in his blood lust, killing an entire clan of redneck warrior types..." Liam grinned looking up as if the memory was replaying above his head, "then he got me dinner and we became good friends."

"Uh-huh..."

"How'd you guys meet?"

"He looked me up in a bar, then took me home and I helped him undress from his armor to reveal his slender glistening body so we could-" Loki glared at him with a straight face.

My face became red with chagrin, "LOKI!" I screached, "SHUT UP!!!"

Loki turned his head, ever so slightly, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"Don't go into so much detail," I twitched.

"Please.." Liam groaned.

A knock on the door made us all jump. Loki didn't move, and it wasn't Liam's home, so I went and opened the door.

"Hello?" I said opening it up, I grinned and hugged Alec tightly, "You're back!"

"Yeah," he grinned ruffling my hair.

He came in, along with Sebastian, "Oh, hello Sebastian," I said pulling him into a hug as well.

"H-hi Cameron... I mean Zed..." He said standing awkwardly in my iron grip.

"Liam?" I called, "this is my brother Alec, and his... lover Sebastian."

"Is everyone in your family a homosexual?"

"No... just the two of us..."

"Technically she's not even gay..." Loki grumbled to himself.

 "What'd you say?" Liam asked politely.

Loki chortled, "Nothin..."

We went on in the awkward conversation, Alec informed me that he got his scholarship and such from his college. Then we talked about Sebastian's job, which took over an hour of our time, which was alright, because sometimes we get awkward and don't know what to talk about. Then Alec and Loki began to joke around and wrestle, but myself and Sebastian tore them apart as Liam just watched in curiosity. Later I got a chance alone with Liam, so we talked.

"So... Loki, huh?"

"Yeah..." I laughed scratching my head.

"Does he know you in real life... or did you guys just meet here?"

"He knows me in real like," I sighed, "a few years older than me, same age as my brother... I think..." I laughed.

He hummed a lilting song quietly to himself before he replied clumsily sighed, "Do you look like what you look like here?"

"No..."

"And your name?"

"Cameron Zedekiah," I breathed out.

"What do you look like?"

I thought about the last time I had looked in a mirror before I had entered the game, "Medium-length orange hair, natural I might add... bright eyes, same color as now... Around six feet, give or take a few inches... and.... female..." I said 'female' like I was avoiding a disease.

"You're a girl?" He coughed.

"Yeah... You see, when I was starting out, the game hadn't ever been played before, so I got the 'first player ever' prize, and so I wished to be a man... I was tired of being underestimated.... It was aggrivating..."

"You can't be a girl...." he mumbled to himself.

"But I am..." I sighed looking him in the eye, "If you want to hate me, or make fun of me... get it down and over with 'Henry', because I've already lost several friends to the judgement of popular thought..." then I walked back over to Loki, who was brooding over the fact that he was all alone.

"Are you ok?" Loki growled looking back at Liam, "did he try something with you?"

He was about to pounce, when I sat down on his lap, "Nope... I just came out to him... and he's my best friend, so whether or not he accepts me, I have to be okay with it..." I sighed nuzzling into his neck.

"Hey it's alright," he patted my back.

"Zed," Liam said loudly, I looked at him sadly, but he had a huge grin on his face, "Now that I know, it makes a whole lot more sense to me now... I understand a lot of things about the way you act now.... So I'm fine with you... life happens... it's alright that you're a chick in real life, you're still my best friend."
