“This is a bloody mess.” Loki muttered, scowling at the curtains over the front windows, like his annoyance might shoot right through fabric and glass and into the mob outside.
It wasn’t really a mob. Not really. It was, at most, a dozen people. Photographers, journalists, web reporters. Paparazzi. People who had gotten the whiff of a story, and flocked to the source, following on the heels of one of their subjects, stupidly called over by Loki when he’d delivered the news.
“Well... Yes.” Fandral agreed. He was at odds, here, and Loki knew it. This was a bad situation: some social media blogger claiming that he, Thor and Fandral were caught in a brother versus brother love triangle over the radio host. But it was made all the worse because, not only was it not true, but the three of them were currently holed up in Thor’s house.
And Thor was brilliantly hungover.
Ignoring Fandral’s input, Loki moved over to the coffee machine, picking up the perfectly brewed coffee it had just finished and holding it out to Thor. “This, and then I’ll make you a greasy spoon. You’re not confronting that crowd.”
“I could do it,” Fandral offered. Clearly, he didn’t want to be trapped in here with Thor.
