"I said no!"

Tom rolled his eyes as he turned to face his lover who is being incredibly stubborn. Loki had his arms crossed, sitting on the couch in the living room of their flat.

"Loki, honestly," Tom said with a heavy sigh, getting tired of his attitude. "It won't be that bad."

"I am not going out to a bar and wasting my evening with those mortals you call 'friends'," Loki protested harshly as Tom shook his head and began to pace the floor of the living room, in front of the coffee table.

"You never go anywhere with me," Tom replied with both anger and sadness hinted in his voice, as well as disappointment. Loki shot him a glare. "I want to at least enjoy one evening with my boyfriend! Is that too much to ask?"

"I go places with you!" Loki said, defending himself as Tom slightly scoffed.

"Only when I force you," Tom said with light tears glassing over his eyes, in a soft voice. "I shouldn't have to force you to be with me, Loki. It feels like you're ashamed to be with me in public."

Loki's mouth hung open and was shocked of the response he was given. He looked at Tom and saw that he was both hurt and disappointed in him. He hates to make Tom feel hurt. His face instantly softened and stood up, stepping over to his lover.

"I'm not ashamed of you, Thomas," Loki spoke in a gentle but firm voice.

"Then come with me," Tom said meeting his eyes. "Please, Loki. I know this is hard for you…" Loki slightly scoffed at the comment but made no response. "You're living with me now. We're living together. You're going to have to get used to being out of our flat more often."

"But those stupid mortals and their ridiculous rituals and laws, and holidays.. and…" Loki tried to protest against the idea of being more sociable with mortals and their cities and towns. Loki refused to look at Tom who formed his goofy smile that always gets to him. Loki stuttered his words as Tom cupped his cheek and rubbed it with his thumb. "And… and… mortals are the most i-infuriating… because.. of… with their…"

Tom pecked Loki's lips and chuckled as Loki groaned, defeated. This was definitely the most annoying thing Tom does when he tries to stay against him. Damn that gorgeous face and those sexy lips. He hates it when Tom softens him up like that when he is trying to… be mischievous, and stubborn.

"I know, darling," Tom said with a smile as Loki groaned again in annoyance. Tom wrapped his arms around Loki's neck and stepped into his personal space. Just a breath away from their lips touching, Tom smiled, pulling away as Loki tried to claim his lips. Loki whined.

"I won't kiss you unless you come with me," Tom said seductively as Loki knew he wasn't getting himself out of this. He knew this meant a lot to Tom, and he would do anything to keep him happy, no matter the circumstances.

"Fine," Loki finally said in a low tone and an eye roll. Tom's eyes shot open, almost dumbstruck that he was able to convince Loki to do something with him so easily.

"Fine?" Tom asked, with a huge, goofy grin quickly forming on his lips. He wanted to make sure he heard right. He released his hands off Loki's neck to study his face.

Loki nodded and scoffed slightly, "Fine. I don't want you to feel like I'm ashamed of you, Thomas. If it makes you happy-"

Loki didn't even have time to finish his sentence without Tom rushing into him, wrapping his arms around his shoulders and kissed him soundly, and deeply on the lips. Loki couldn't help the moan that escaped his lips as his hands found their way to Tom's slim waist and pulled him flush against his body. Their mouths opened as their tongues danced furiously with one another. Tom tilted Loki's head back to deepen the kiss, as he also moaned. His hands worked his way to Loki's long, raven, black hair and threaded his fingers through it.

They stayed like that until they needed to part for air. As their heartbeats became steady once again, Tom clutched onto Loki's shoulders and smiled tearfully at his wonderful lover.

"Thank you for this," Tom said with a smile. "I love you, Loki."

"Uh huh," Loki said with a sigh, and the tiniest of smiles spread on his lips, and Tom noticed. He always notices when Loki smiles. "I love you, too."

Tom broke free from his embrace with Loki and found a great opportunity to tease him since he is going with him.

"Oh Chris is probably going to make you do karaoke," Tom teased, but also warned Loki.

Loki instantly shook his head in horror and refusal as Tom laughed, "Oh no, no, no! I agreed to come along, Thomas, not to be publicly tortured and humiliated in front of those puny mortals. Besides, humanity entertainment is beneath me."

"Oh really, all humanity entertainment is beneath you?" Tom asked, crossing his arms and raised his brows at Loki who shot him a look.

"My gaming consoles are an exception!" Loki barked feeling his cheeks flush red with embarrassment.

"Yes dear," Tom said a chuckle seeing how embarrassed Loki looks right now. It was actually very adorable and sweet. "Sure they are."

After Loki recovered from being embarrassed by his lover, Tom couldn't help but tease him again. He looked cute when he's embarrassed.

Tom smirked, "Now, about your outfit for tonight…"

Loki's eyes shot open and knew exactly what his lover was doing to him.

"Thomas!"

Tom laughed as Loki followed him out of the living room annoyed already.
