“What did you do now, you ignorant little trollop?!” Loki stormed into his reluctant bride’s sitting room, high in the tower he’d designated for her use. He rarely bothered to visit her, rather seeing her only at dinner in the hall and ignoring her existence for the rest of it.

Hesitantly, the boy’s (had a name, now, but he was still getting used to responding to it) hand moved to grab the bar of chocolate. He remembered having it maybe once, and just a small bite so his teachers wouldn’t see - a gift from one of his Sisters (where would she be, now?). Funny, now his step-sister - did she even count as family member to him? But Miss Romanoff (supposed to call her Mother, now?) always said family never meant blood, not in this family.

The boy didn’t mean to wake Alexandra with his thrashing and turning, but the bed - too soft and full of noisy covers - made it hard to keep his demons silent. And how did she know he hadn’t been eating right? Had she been observing him? It only served to make he ginger more conscious about himself and his actions around her.

(still waiting for the bombs to explode; this is nothing but a dream - or worse, this is real but nothing comes for free and they will want something from him and what if he can’t make it happen? What if he is not good enough and they realize it and they kick out their lives?)

“Hm, thank you.” Christopher muttered, this time failing to hide his wince when she mentioned a promise. He hadn’t told anyone about... about his childhood in details, and he wouldn’t start now. The ginger, instead, took the bar and took a tiny bite from it, since it was her chocolate (didn’t want trouble, he liked Alex...).

“Nightmare.” Alex responded, not bothering to elaborate. She slowly took a small unsure step into his room. “Is it okay if I stay with you for the night?”
