Loki looked up and smirked - his face shifting as he took on a fox-head. “I always thought I was more foxish. Though I suppose cat works too.” Loki said, looking at his nails as his ears twitched a bit. “….and I know you like me…” he hummed and eyed Bill. 

“Why do I remind you of a cat? And why don’t you like cats?”

How could he be expected to pay attention when--”So cuuute,” he cooed, nuzzling Loki’s cheek. Wasn’t the god always cute, though? Ah, well, he was especially cute at the moment.

A male witch is still a witch. uwu

“Bears?” Loki echoed, a brow arching a bit as he looked from Leanna to Billy as the man giggled. Nervously.

“Mhmm….” And Loki narrowed his gaze a little as Billy started to build his lie - because of course he did remember that Billy could and would enter the enclosures - just as he could taste the lie in the air. God of lies and all. But their daughter was a demigod. Dangerous creatures by human standards weren’t quite so dangerous to her. It still didn’t mean he wanted her near them without supervision. 

The god’s brows lifted fully; almost to his hairline when Leanna cheerfully stated that the bear in question -picked her up-. 

“Oh my, my darling. You sound like you had quite the adventure today.” Loki said, reaching out to give one of her pig-tails a playful tug as he bore his gaze into Billy. They seemed to say ‘I’m going to dip you into cement and turn you into a lawn ornament’ or something equally unpleasant. “And what did it do after it picked you up? What did daddy do?” He asked; almost saying the last part through his teeth; even as he kept his tone light and pleasant. 

That look was the telltale sign that his pathetic attempt at a lie wasn’t fooling Loki in the slightest, and Billy’s demeanor changed to brace himself for whatever punishment the god would dish out once he found out the truth. He clutched Leanna closer to himself, a reminder that he was the father of Loki’s precious young daughter, so he should go easy on him.

The child giggled at Loki’s affection as well as what she perceived as the spontaneous hug from Billy. “It carried me to a hole!” It had carried her to its den, whether to eat her or care for her like a cub, well, they would never know. The bear had just dropped her when her reality warping father arrived, and Billy had instantly twisted the creator into a gorey bear bowtie, after covering his daughter’s eyes of course, as per Loki’s instructions when he needed to deal with enemies in front of Leanna. ”Daddy was gone!”

The godling’s brow furrowed. Leanna was as small as this adult-Billy’s knees…that was small…either she was a fae, an elf….or a child. A baby even. And the comment about her looks in correlation with ‘him’ was all the more puzzling. Him? Him, who?

Loki swallowed a bit, watching how the strange man ran his fingers through his hair, settled his hand on his hip - And Loki stared at his chest once more- before Billy’s hand found it’s way to his chin.

The godling shivered, opening his mouth a bit; closing it…before he frowned a bit more. ‘I miss the way he used to say my name-’ Well; that did give him more clues to who ‘him’ was. Billy could feel Loki’s jaw flex again, green eyes wide as he stared up at the reality warper -

Before he pressed the side of his blade - careful to make sure the edge didn’t bite into Billy’s wrist - against the man’s skin to try and push his hand from his face as he twisted his head away. “This he and him….is that the me that’s in another universe that you know of? And the person you’re looking for…that would make her-” 

Already he had a sinking feeling in his belly. If this Leanna was a child and she was small and missing…..oh…what had Billy done…

“There is the Loki I know...” he sighed as the blade pressed to his skin. Whenever that blade was unsheathed, he wondered how far he was willing to push a fight. His head lolled to the side, dark eyes growing distant for a moment. He had always wanted to explore deeper inside of the handsome being than merely several inches up his rear.

Suddenly, he glanced off to the side to tame his rising morbid curiosity, his hand falling away from him. That was one thing Loki would always be able to hold over him. Such a beauty was as difficult to come by as he was to charm, and Billy was only a man.

A bootfall sounded behind the two. “Now…” Came a soft purr of a male voice. A familiar voice.

“Why is my daughter making growling noises?” Loki asked as he appeared, eyeing the two. “Where have you two been?” 

“Bears!” their daughter chirped, and Billy let out a nervous bout of laughter to silence any further comment.

He gave the girl a bounce on his hip to keep her giggling rather than talking. “The zoo. You know how we love the zoo.” To be fair, Billy had had a soft spot for the zoo in his youth. 

“I pet a bear!” Leanna managed through her giggles.

“I was there. It was fine!” he reasoned before he could be scolded. His lie was going to get him into even more trouble if Loki recalled that Billy used to teleport inside of the cages at the zoo.

“Bear picked me up with its mouth!”

“Daddy poofed me to, uh, bears!” the child giggled, her arms thrown up in a celebratory manner.

“You’re going to get me banished from your realm again, Leanna...” he groaned.

“I know. It’s pointless. But it’s a common turn of phrase- usually they use it when they’re trying to convince themselves that you have the bloody hands and they had nothing to do with it.”

"She's this small," he demonstrated, waving a hand at the level of his knee, a bit of an exaggeration of how small she was, "and she looks more like him in my opinion." “Him” being Loki, though Billy’s mind couldn’t equate the tiny creature with the adorable button nose with the man he had nicknamed The Warden for dictating how he played with his daughter. Billy could put the child back together if anything happened to her, so he really didn’t understand what the issue was.

The reality manipulator raked his fingers through his hair, before his hand settled on his hip, relaxed, as if his daughter weren’t missing somewhere along the timeline in the multiverse. Well, he wasn’t going to locate her with his powers! That would be cheating in their little game of hide and seek! And he hadn’t gone through the trouble of learning how to teleport his daughter randomly, without any knowledge of where he was sending her, just to cheat when it came to actually finding her. 

Loki had never kissed anyone before. But he had thoughts about it - had memories from the past Loki’s life. He wanted to kiss: Even so - as Billy turned his head; the more chase kiss turned a little more now that noses weren’t quite in the way. 

And Loki drew in a breath through his nose - heart fluttering….before he leaned forward so that the closeness of skin was accented by more pressure. 

The softer touches, the little plead - Loki made a noise of agreement as he panted a little. His breath was cool on Billy’s lips and he nudged his nose against the other teen’s. “Okay-” He agreed, breathed before he was once again pressed lips to lips: Gesture soft and on the more innocent side of things as Loki curled a little closer. 

Loki almost thought Billy was going to disappear with how he froze. But then the other boy was leaning in. And Loki sighed softly, closing his eyes as he savored the kiss - least until he needed to part for air. Then he started to lean back, hand moving to Billy's wrist.
