Loki and I

Ask Rosie (S1 E27)

"Okay, Zoe... I need you and Loki to help me with something," I say to her, leading her into Loki's room.

"Would it have anything to do with that?" Zoe says, nudging the saddlebags on my back. I nod. "What are they? Oh, hey, Loki."

Zoe waves nonchalantly at Loki, who's sitting casually on the bench reading a book in his cell. He looks up and fumbles to set the book down. "You know, hooves are hard to work," he comments, lifting both of his hooves up.

"Yeah, you might just wanna use them for walking," I giggle, sitting down next to the glass with Zoe as Loki does the same on the other side.

Loki smiles at me, then eyes the saddlebags. "So, what are they for?"

"Well, believe it or not, you guys," I look from Loki to Zoe, "We have people who like us."

"Whoa, whoa! I mean, people liking me is totally normal, but you guys?" Zoe exclaims in disbelief, pointing to us.

Loki and me both give her a pissed off look. "Yeah, really making us feel good there, Zoe," I say through grit teeth.

"You mean, we might have... fans?" Loki says excitedly, his face hopeful with big pupils.

"Are we... famous?" Zoe squees, pulling the same hopeful face as Loki.

I scoff. "No, we are not famous," I say blankly, "I just need to answer all these questions," I pat the bag, "And I can't read."

"Say what?" Zoe exclaims.

"Are you gonna help me or not?"

"If you are burdened with glorious questions, then so am I," Loki says to me, putting his hoof on his chest.

A small blush creeps across my face, but I hide it as much as I can with my hair. "Uh... okay," I mutter, wriggling the bag off and sticking a hoof in one of the pockets. "But they're also dares, so yeah," I add as I pull out a scroll. "Let's start with this one from..."

I unfurl the scroll and show it to Zoe to read. She takes it with her green magic and squints at the paper. "@demigodfangirl365," she finishes my sentence. "It says... "I dare Loki to kisssssOHMYGODS no! Argh! No no no!" She screams, throwing the paper at the glass. "THIS RUINS THE WHOLE SHIP!"

I hold the paper there. "Loki, read it for me," I half order.

"Demigodfangirl365 dares me to kiss Zoe in front of... you." Loki half whispers, cringing at his own words as he looks at me worriedly.

I growl under my breath, turning away so nobody can see my angry expression, especially because my face is bright red. I let out a slow breath, turn around, hiding my expression. I wave a hoof nonchalantly.

"Oooh you guys- ha- gotta... uh... kiss with me looking ahahaha," I laugh nervously. "Don't think you two kissing affects me in any way whatsoever!" I point to Zoe, "I wouldn't even care if Loki kissed you because he already kissed me."

"Do you wanna say kiss again?" Zoe raises an eyebrow at me.

"... kiss..." I whimper. I reach out helplessly to Zoe as she goes over to the control box, presses the green button, trotting up to Loki, facing him.

"Well, we gotta do it," she says, grabbing the letter from me with her magic and reading it again, "On the lips, it says." I pull my hair in anticipation, squeezing my eyes shut. "Uh-uh," Zoe calls to me, "You gotta look."

I groan squeakily and force myself to open them. Zoe steps closer to Loki, their muzzles only inches apart. Loki chuckles nervously. "Okay, okay..." He mumbles, blushing lightly, eyes flicking from me to Zoe.
