Lokison

~21~

Well, virtually no one voted on my ship poll (except for @ViaStar3, thank you) SO, the council (me) has decided that Valkyrie shall be Loki's love interest in this fanfic. Please let me know if you don't like it.

Loki's POV

asdfghjkl;' AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO ALERT BRUN OF PETER. She is going to skin me alive. "So, I guess I'll show you to your room..." I say, in a desperate attempt to change the subject "Ooookay" Peter replies awkwardly, and I lead him across the room, swiftly moving to avoid the awkward silence. He nods at me to leave, and I murmur a "okay, see you later" as he shuts the door. I close my eyes and send my mind out, looking for a particular conscience. I sense her outside, sitting by the dock. I jog slowly past the guards and all the other people, following my internal gps to where the girl is sitting.

I find her staring out into the distance, over the ocean towards the horizon, watching boats leave and arrive. I decide to make her aware of my presence, but she ignores me and continues to gaze emotionlessly, before taking a long swig of a vodka bottle that I previously did not realize she was holding. "Ah for FUCKS sake, Brun! You're a recovering alcoholic! You can't just start drinking again because-" I pause as she takes another lengthy swing. Something inside me breaks "Did it really bother you that I..." She finishes the bottle and chucks it into a nearby bin, before taking another bottle out of her bag. Well, this is not good. It took me ages to persuade her to give up drinking before, even with my silver tongue. Ugh. I sit down next to Brunhilde, and conjure a bottle for myself. "That was fifteen years ago, Val. She is dead now. I never wanted to... y'know" She just glances at me "You don't see the full picture, do you?" "What?" I ask, curious. She glares at me for no longer than a second but within a beat I already know.

I suddenly feel a fire in my chest, one that breaks me apart, like only when my mother died, as I realize she hates me. No, she doesn't hate me, it's not that. I certainly hate to see Valkyrie this way, but the fire in my heart is more... welcoming. I look down at Brun and suddenly everything makes sense. I have been oblivious of not only hers, but my feelings as well. How could I be so careless and un-self aware? It feels like an instinct that takes over, that gently guides Brun's face to mine, and as our faces collide, I realize this is what I've needed this whole time; someone to love, fight for, someone to accompany me as my queen/king. My passion explodes as she deepens the kiss, pulling me closer as if by gravitational force. This is what I want.

When we finally break away, she gasps for breath and I smile weakly at her. She returns the grin and says "So, you're single?" I smirk and gently kiss her "What do you think, Val?" "I think I'm the luckiest person in the world" I smile. "I think I could rival that" She snickers and pushes my chest. "Who knows Loki, king of Asgard, the last jotun, the heartless beast whose job occupation is to betray, could like someone" I snort "Hmm, that's what Odin tells you, huh. Brun, of course I can like someone. But in this case, I love you" She smiles "I love you too, Lackey"

We sit there for a few hours before I ask, uneasily "How do you feel about Peter?" She looks away "I'm sorry I was so... Sour towards him, but I was... jealous. And I don't know if I can look at him again without liking him" I smirk, and she turns her head, surprised "Val, the only reason I found out he was my kid was BECAUSE he was being a living ball of sunshine. You can't not like him" She nods, unconvinced "We'll see" I get up and offer her my hand, to walk back towards the town "Yeah, we will"

Peter's POV

Ummm. That was awkward. Maybe I should've stayed out of 'Brun's thoughts, but they were so loud, they were mentally shouting, and I didn't know what to do. I lie on my bed. Supposedly, Loki has gone to find Brun and comfort her. Well, SHE obviously likes HIM, but I'm not sure if he likes her back. I go back through my memory, trying desperately to find some evidence. I made a mental list that consists of,

- When we entered, both their eyes lit up
- Loki seemed to enjoy himself with her more than with Thor
- He looked like he liked her, but it could be just as friends.

I growl and concentrate more, searching through my memories and come to a stop. The one where Brun stormed off. I wasn't paying much attention to Loki then, but now that I look up, I see heartbreak in his eyes, like when Sam's girlfriend broke up with him. (Bucky and I obviously had the best time fighting with him later, and then whooping his inflexible ass in Wii Fit) That was what I needed. I add it to my list, along with a note to ask dad if that was his girlfriend. Just on time, Loki appears in my door, and I wouldn't have realized he was there if it weren't for my spidey senses, and I turn around to face him. "You guys okay?" I ask, genuinely concerned. He smiles "We're fine, Peter" I look at him suspiciously. "Are you dating?" he things for a split-second before replying "Yes- yes, we are. Now I'd like you to come to the banquet hall for dinner. Everyone wants to meet you. After all, you're the prince of Asgard"

TA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. What do y'all think??
