This my first ever one-shot story. Whether it stays like this or not is completely up to you readers. I originally posted this on Tumblr, on an Imagine Loki url. It sounded like a perfect opportunity to make something cute. the prompt said "Imagine being a little kid around the age of 5, hanging around with Loki. When you see Loki being the bookworm that he is, you can't help but constantly giggle around him, call his name from the highest bookshelves of the library, and cling to his leg when he walks and bother him until you fall asleep sitting on his lap with an iron grip on his armor and cloak." So I took that and ran with it with my adorable little OC Lolita. If any of you are readers of my YJ fictions you may know her, this is a different take of her. if you're not familiar with me well have fun reading. ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!

Lolita sat up in Loki's bed, not at all surprised that he wasn't there when she awoke. It was normal routine for her ever since she began living in the palace with him. Lolita was five years of age, and was not of Asgard (though that didn't seem to be a problem for Loki or the others). She had been living with the royal family since Prince Loki found her, abandoned in the gardens at the age of two. She had no memory of family, all she remembered was that she had been left there by her father—an unknown figure whose face Lolita can no longer picture.

Though she was of earth Lolita was not human; she had deep sapphire colored eyes and her pupils were narrowed into slit—not unlike a cat—and she has pale blue colored skin and dark blue hair that naturally spiked into two small devil-like horns on her head and she could perform magic. She kept her blue skin hidden away by a spell Loki had taught her. it replaced the pale blue skin, and gave her a pale tanned complexion instead. It wasn't out of disliking that he taught her the spell but rather out of kindness. Loki knew that being the way she was, Lolita would have a hard time fitting in with the asgardian children. He taught her the spell so that it would be easier for her to play among the other children. (however it was taught in vain, since she was much too shy to speak to anyone her own age.)

Yawning, Lolita rubbed the sleep from her eyes and climbed out of bed and flew out of the room she shared with Loki, and into the long and wide corridors in search for the dark haired prince. As she glided down the long hallway, she passed several of the guards, whom flinched when she came into view—much like her beloved Loki, Lolita liked to play pranks on people—she laughed a childishly innocent laugh and continued walking until she came upon the library. From past experiences she knew that she would find the black and green clad prince in there, reading one of the many tomes that could be found. She entered the room and immediately found him. A Cheshire cat grin spread across her face as she saw him.

Loki sat at one of the tables in the large library room his back toward the entrance and his nose in a book. He was completely unaware that someone had entered the room. so lost in thought it wasn't until the third time that he heard someone calling his name above him.

"Looookiiiii…." The voice giggled in a small sweet voice. Loki looked up and around the room, he knew exactly who it was, but for the life of him, couldn't find where the young girl was hiding. Her voice seemed to bounce around the room and fade away without revealing her location. He allowed himself a slight smirk, and continued reading. He stifled a small laugh as he heard Lolita let out a pouted 'hmph.'

"Loki…!" She whispered again, this time revealing her location above him. Loki looked up. His brows rose as he found the young girl sitting atop a tall bookshelf. She looked down at him with her big sapphire eyes and giggled. "G'morning Loki!"

"Good morning Lolita, should I even ask how you got up there?" Loki replied with a question. Lolita giggled once again and smiled innocently.

"Lita flew silly." She answered shortening her name. Loki shook his head as a small smirk appeared. He looked up again and saw that she was no longer atop the tall bookcase. He heard a giggle behind him, he paused for a minute pretending not to notice, then suddenly turned and plucked the young girl from the ground as he stood. Lolita let out a happy squeal as the asgardian prince surprised her.

"I swear you have the silence of a cat, little one." He said, making Lolita smile, "I didn't even hear you come in."

She giggled, letting out a tiny meow as she wrapped her arms around the mischievous god. He smiled and patted her on the head.

"And what does my favorite midgardian girl, plan to do today?" He asked setting Lolita on her feet on the ground. Lita looked up at him and smiled.

"Lita's going to do what she does every day, spend time with Loki." She said jumping into the air and hovering until she was at eye level with him. "Lita likes spending time with Loki."

"You should really try spending time with people your own age Lolita." Loki said, though in reality he enjoyed the child's company as much as she enjoyed his. Lita pouted.

"Lita does not want to spend time with anyone but Loki." She said with a nod, crossing her legs as she sat in the air. Loki gave a small smile and placed his hands on his hips.

"I plan to spend most of the day in the library you know." he said, "Not much entertainment for children."

"Lita is not a child. She drinks milk." She said proudly. Loki laughs.

"So be it then, but I will not be held responsible for your entertainment, is that clear?" he asks sternly. Lolita nodded.

"Lita can entertain herself." She said crossing her arms. Loki looked at the young girl suspiciously. He knew all too well what her idea of entertainment was, mostly because it was he that taught it to her. A decision he regretted when it was directed toward him. However he said nothing and returned to his seat and continued reading. It wasn't long after that, that he felt Lolita hovering over his shoulder, silently reading the small printed text. He looked up.

"Lolita, I find it irritating when you read over me like that." He said softly, he looked over his shoulder to find she had once again disappeared. Knowing that she wasn't far off, he continued reading until hours passed by and finally he finished the book. He stood and went to return the book to its place on the large bookcase and removing a different book from its place. He nearly tripped walking back to his seat, as Lolita suddenly reappeared and clinging to his legs as he walked. A woman walked by and stifled a laugh as she saw the child nearly trip him. Loki's face turned a slight shade of red from embarrassment, he frowned and looked down at Lolita who smiled sweetly and let out a sweet giggle. His scowl soon faded, but the red remained as he walked, dragging the strange girl with him. Once seated Lolita climbed onto the table and sat propping herself up on her elbows and resting her head in her hands.

After a short moment of silence and peace, she reached out with one of her small hands and began playing with a stray tuft of hair that fell in front of Loki's face. Much like a cat with string. Loki sighed, knowing that it would be some time before he would be able to become lost within the pages of the book again. Giving a small smile he looked up at the young girl, who stopped playing with his hair long enough to roll onto her back with her legs hanging off the edge of the table.

"Lolita, would you like me to read to you?" he asked softly. Lolita beamed as she rolled over and sat up on her knees.

"Lita loves it when Loki reads to her!" She said excitedly. Finally fed up with the noise, someone further away gave a sharp 'shoosh' noise. Lolita let out a small mew, as she realized she's spoken too loud.

"Alright then, however we'll have to go somewhere else to read." Loki said then stood up, pocketing the book he was previously reading. He held out a hand for Lolita, which she happily took as she jumped off the table onto the ground and followed as he left the library. Once in the hallway, she willed her body into the air and perched herself on Loki's shoulders, and giggled. Loki didn't seem to mind this, and she began running her small fingers through his hair, making his once slick backed hair into a raven colored mess. Loki didn't mind it though, because it was all too normal to him these days. Even if he did give a few silent glares to anyone who dared to laugh as they passed. Finally, the two arrived to the shared bedroom. He then moved to the large dark green arm chair that sat in front of a desk and sat down, Lolita slid down to lay in his lap as he did so. She looked up at him and smiled as he retrieved the book he was once reading from his pocket.

"What book is that, Lita's never seen Loki read it before." She said sweetly. Loki held up the cover so that she could read the title. She scowled, "A…alice in..wo…wonder…land. Alice in Wonderland!"

"Very good." Loki said with a soft smile.

"Lita's never heard of that book."

"It's from Midgard, if I recall correctly." He explained. Lolita laid her head on loki's chest.

"That's where Lita came from…isn't it?" She mumbled, eyeing the painted image on the cover of a long blond haired girl, having tea with a rabbit, and a man with wild looking hair wearing a hat. Loki nodded.

"That's right." He said running his fingers through Lolita's short dark blue hair as he opened the book and began reading from the beginning so as not to confuse the young child. It was several hours before he finished. He looked down to find that Lolita had fallen asleep with her thumb in her mouth and her free hand in a death grip on his armor and cloak. He gave a soft smile, as he wondered when the small girl had fallen asleep. Slowly he stood so he wouldn't wake the sleeping girl and carried her to the bed where he gently pried her fingers off of his clothes and tucked her in.

"Sleep well little one." He whispered as he gently kissed Lolita's forehead and closing the door behind him as he left the room.
