Frostmaster ~ rumors

Loki had gained the trust of the Grandmaster over the weeks. Now he heard Grandmaster was throwing a big party.

Loki's POV

"Party on Saturday! 6 p.m.! Party on Saturday!" I heard Grandmaster's deep voice echo through several speakers. It was a big hit, everyone on Sakaar talked about it, but not everyone were invited. But was I? Suddenly, I got a phone call. Picking up the phone quickly, and hearing Grandmaster's voice. "Loki? Is it you?" he said. "Yeah", I answered as properly glad and brave as I could. "Why did you call me, all of a sudden?" I heard him clearing his throat. "I just had this silly old idea..." he mumbled, and cleared his throat again. "Umm, would you like to join my party on Saturday?" "6 p.m., yeah", I laughed, happy. "Of course! Would never miss it!" "Great!" I heard Grandmaster laughing. "Okay, see you then, Loki!" He ended the call. I jumped up quickly and squealed. Smiling the biggest smile I could, happiness spread all over my body. He invited me! Oh boy, I need to go shopping. New clothes, and that...

Saturday, tea time, already! I quickly changed my t-shirt and sweatpants to a black suit. I was ready to go! Ordering an aircraft taxi, I arrived to the palace in a flash. There were already lots of people, and the bass speakers blasted some really good music out. I took a glass of champagne and blended into the crowd. I just lifted the glass to my lips when someone patted my back. I nearly choked on the drink. "Oh no..." I heard a voice behind me. "Was it bad timing?" "No, no", I mumbled, turning around, and seeing Grandmaster. "Hello!" He waved at me. Then someone called him, and as the host for the party, he had to go. I drank the champagne with haste and putted the glass down on a tray that passed by.

I saw a couple of my friends and went to greet them. While we chatted, the music started slowing down, fading, bit by bit turning to slow classical music. I'm actually good at couple dances, but I didn't have a date for the party. This wasn't a high school prom, huh? I sneaked with low profile between all the dancing people, and on the other side of the room, I leaned on the wall, hoping no one would see me. I took a sandwich from another tray. Closing my eyes, I bit it. It was delicious, and I ate it all. When I opened my eyes again, I saw the Grandmaster in front of me. "Hello, Loki", he said, calmly. I turned red and swallowed the bread quickly. "Hello!" I said and smiled. "Don't have a pair, huh?" he said, turning around, looking at the dancers. "Actually, no I don't, I didn't think of-" The Grandmaster grabbed my waist and held my chin up with his finger. "Shall we dance, Loki?" I smiled brightly and put my hand on his shoulder. "Sure!" We slowly danced into the crowd. The Grandmaster was a really good dancer. We danced flawlessly, both of us smiling the whole time.

I sensed someone staring at us.

Valkyrie's POV

The Grandmaster and Loki! Dancing! Oh dear..! I bet they are dating. I sipped my beer. My friend next to me leaned slowly against me and whispered: "Hey, Brunnhilde, whatcha staring at?" "Grandmaster and Loki. I bet they're dating." "Oh", my friend said. "Interesting." I nodded. "Let's just not hope the rumor spreads." I don't want to be the drama queen starting all gossip. But... it cannot hurt to tell a few people. I trust them not to spread it.

Loki's POV

I woke up the next day at eleven o'clock. I had danced until two at night. I dressed up and went to eat breakfast here at the hotel where I live. When I arrived at the bottom floor, Grandmaster was already waiting for me. "Hi Grandmaster!" I said, tightening my belt a bit, because I had put the clothes on quickly. "Hi Loki!" he smiled. I registered my room number for the staff and we went to get food. I saw people looking at us, pointing and whispering. It felt weird. Grandmaster noticed also. He looked at me while buttering a toast. "Do you know why they are staring at us?" "No..." I said, my mind going crazy about ways to solve the answer. "No idea." Then we saw Valkyrie's friend coming to us. "Congratulations!" She said. I looked at Grandmaster with huge confusion. Whose birthday it was? Or... do they celebrate Christmas in May here? "Congratulations on your relationship!" "What?" Grandmaster asked. "Oh come on!" the friend said, already walking away. "Everybody here knows about your date!" I looked at Grandmaster. "Are we... dating?" I asked quietly, blushing. "If you want", Grandmaster smirked. I smiled. "Of course, Grandmaster." The Grandmaster took my hand. "You're a good dancer, Loki." I blushed more. "I know."
