Loki Laufeyson

TOM HIDDLESTON

Halloween had always been what made a solemn soul flutter with a slice of lightness. It had been the change of the weather and how black clothing was the norm and no one had looked upon those that draped themselves in the color with a sense of disapproval. Once in Lydia Deetz’s life, she had been the moth to the flame when it came to Halloween. The dark arts, ghosts, ghouls, and goblins had once intrigued her until the very moment she had found herself with the ring ripped right from a dead woman’s lost finger upon her own, until the very moment that she had nearly married a ghostly trickster to save the  harmless, ghostly roommates that took up incorporeal space within her childhood home. 

Yet, Lydia Deetz still felt a certain swell, a certain flutter when the weather cooled and dark decor littered store shelves. It was even with a smile that she had entered the home of an old school mate – even if she did enjoy misery in the lonesomeness of her cold apartment. Tacky Halloween decorations littered the walls and every flat surface in the house. The Monster Mash played at a decent level in the living room, just loud enough to hear but still low enough for the dull roar of conversation to be heard.

Taking in the stranger before her, she was intrigued. He certainly didn’t seem the type to pal around with Bertha and Prudence – if they were at all the same as they had once been in high school. Smile spread upon red tinted lips as she spoke up, “I don’t think  we’ve been introduced. I’m Lydia. I’m a friend of Prudence and Bertha from high school,” a pause, “I don’t remember you from high school…”

“I met Prudence and Bertha one day in the park when they were waiting for a friend to show up, perhaps that friend was you, and I went away before you got there I thought I would be imposing on the three of you.” He sighs and cocks an eyebrow “What is one supposed to do when one had been hurt as many times as I had so I ran away from all of you and hoped that I could meet you all again sometimes. I was also a very shy boy so that would have been another big problem.”

Loki then looks at her “Enough of the sad tales of a good man and let you get a word in edgewise shall I? I always do blabber on so and no one stops me so I don’t know when I’m doing it and I get more than a little embarrassed by it.” He chuckles and then holds out an arm for her “Unless someone has your eye already I would like to get you a drink.” Loki then looks across the room at the drinks table “I think they have some half decent wine over there somewhere if you want that. The punch is a little dodgy but it tastes good over all but the mixers are bad and I don’t drink beer so I don’t know about that one.”

It’s not a stretch to say that Cody’s intimidated by his presence, despite that he could technically be considered a demi-god himself since learning who his father was. The last time he’d seen the face before him was on a news broadcast.

Loki come a couple of step closer and looks the boy over “It’s to bad that I don’t have the time to raise a child or I would take you with me but take a message to the blond oaf for me. Tell him I’m back from my hiatus and up to my old tricks again. He’ll know where to find me.”

Loki just looks at her and smirks “Because I can and for this one time I want to, that magic of yours is pretty interesting too. I’ve been watching you and have seen you using it.” He clicks his tongue and looks at her with a challenging look “I bet I have more control than you over mine though, that little stunt that you pulled where you got scared and destroyed all that property and killed those people. I might be able to teach you how to control them just as long as you don’t tell the oaf and your little friends that I’m here.”

“Well I suppose there are uses to your magic.”  She said.  A hum from her.  “Have you now?  What exactly have you seen?”  She asked.  A slight groan from her as her arms crossed over her chest.  She didn’t necessarily like the fact that he’s digging at her.  She knew that she didn’t have stunning control of it.  “Thank you for rubbing it in.”  She muttered.  “Oh do you think that will work?”  She asked.  A raised eyebrow from her.  “What makes you think I’m going to tell them?”  She was in hiding after all.

Gabriella felt utterly and blissfully at peace as she soaked deep into the warm bathtub, the bubbles acting as a shield to hide her naked form. Oh, the water felt so wonderful against her skin: relaxing her muscles, and sending chills (the best kind) racing up and down her spine. She closed her eyes as her head leaned back, soaking down even lower into the bubbles with a soft moan she barely attempted to keep back. Without taking the slightest of a second to consider her actions, Gabriella’s hand crept down under the water, trailing up and down the inner of her thighs. Her eyes remained closed as her hand found its way towards her center: delicate cheeks now turning red hot. The second moan that fell past her lips was much, much louder.

“It… I … it wasn’t supposed — to be this way —”

“If I could take it all back… I would.”

“You have no idea how far I went — to save you.”

“Even if it means giving up my life, everything I’ve done, I’ll do it for you.”

“There are no limits when it comes to you. I’ll do anything to keep you safe.”

“Close your eyes — I don’t want you to see me like this.”

“It was — it was supposed to end differently! It was — supposed to — no!”

“No — No, no, no, no, no — ! Not like this !”

“Let — go !”

“ Com— come back ! Don’t you dare leave me here !”

“I refuse to die here! I’ve come too far!”

“ Why do I have to be strong all the time? ”

“ Look at me! How can you call this dependable? ”

“ This is the exact reason why everyone I love leaves!”

“ There are so many sides to me that you don’t know. ”

“ All I ever wanted was to live a happy life… I wanted to be fine!”

“ There’s this thing about solitude. It gets to you. It eats you alive. ”

“ And sometimes we just gotta give up. ”

“ There are burdens on my shoulders that I can’t shake off. ”

“ Have you ever felt suffocated? ”

“ It’s the world is crumbling beneath me and I’m in free fall. ”

“ What I wouldn’t give to go back to the time where I had no concerns. ”

“ There’s this darkness in me… I don’t know how to explain it. ”

“ I’m hollow. ”

“ And then there’s this sadness. This raw, awful sadness that you’re too good to see. ”

“ You don’t deserve someone like me. ”

“ My past comes back to haunt me, and I can’t chase the ghosts away. ”

“ So many things went wrong in my life, and they keep on coming. ”

“ I don’t know how much longer I can endure this. ”

“ It hurts… every god awful day it hurts. More and more. ”

“ I can’t seem to outrun this. ”

“ Do you ever just wanna… give in?”

“ Should’ve gotten life right the first time. ”

“ They keep saying that this is all going to go away, but I don’t know about that. ”

“ Life is a god damn ocean and I have no idea how to swim. ”

it’s okay. you’re safe now. 

trouble follows me like a curse, and you deserve so much better.

so who wants tea?

you can’t do this on your own.

i just thought love was a miserable lie. but since i’ve met you, i… 

congratulations on mastering the whole speaking like a twat thing.

you tried to protect me from it all, didn’t you?

i’m being as honest as I can be right now.

there wasn’t a single bit of that sentence i understood.

you think this is the first time something like this has happened?

we need to embrace humanity, let the world in.

i just wanted a chance to explain. 

am i really that hard to love back?

you are not meeting my friends.

i’m looking for something to defend myself with. so far i have a whisk.

don’t worry, you’re not my type.

how do you think this ends?

you’re not the only one with secrets.

for all i know this could be perfectly normal. 

how did you find me?

maybe we can go out, but just for a bit.

i like my routine, it makes me feel normal.

you keep making tea! every surface is covered with cups of tea and coffee!

death isn’t always the unwelcome guest you think it is.

i’m sure that sounded much better in your head.

we just have to be totally and completely normal.

you’re lucky. most people don’t get a chance to say goodbye.

is it over? are we safe now?

you are loved. by loads of people. by me.

we have to put a stop to this. 

any time you want to chip in, say something constructive, do feel free.

i’m dead, in case you hadn’t noticed!

[name]’s moved on with his life. you need to as well.

you know, i don’t really see where this relationship is headed anymore.

i’m sensing a trip to ikea, And you know my feelings about that.
