Sigyn held Loki's hand and pulled him along to the large oak tree in the garden of Loki's home in Asgard. The young children finally reached the tree and Sigyn giggled into her hands.
"We're here." She squealed. "Now can we practice?"
Loki glanced down at her bare piggy toes sticking out from under her baby blue tunic. Her auburn hair was pulled into a ponytail that reached down the small of her back and tiny strands curled in front of her round face. He was nervous. He had heard Thor's stories of men's lips falling off once they touched those of girls. But he didn't understand. He once caught his parents sharing a kiss in their chamber room and their lips were still attached. Sigyn asked if she could kiss him after their studies a few days earlier because she was curious. He agreed and hoped his lips would stay in their proper place.
"I'm talking to you." Sigyn said in a singsong voice as she tugged on his tunic sleeve. Loki held his breath and nodded.
"Yes, we can." He said nervously.
"Close your eyes." She ordered.
"Why?" Loki asked.
"That's how my sister kisses." She explained. Loki exhaled and closed his eyes. He could feel the air blow in his face as she waved her hand in front of him to see if he was peeking.
"Poke out your lips." Sigyn said. He did so. He stood stiff for several moments until he felt something wet and soft touch his lips. His shoulders relaxed, but his lips were tightly pressed together. His eyes opened just enough so he could peer between his eyelashes. Sigyn's eyes were closed and her face was close to his.
She parted from him and giggled again. He opened his eyes to see her smiling at him. He touched his lips and was relieved to find them still there. "I saw you look!" she said.
"Your eyes were supposed to be closed too!" Loki laughed.
She stuck her tongue out at him and ran away. "Can't catch me!" she called after him. Loki pushed his muscles to catch up to her.
