I didn't like the ending of the last chapter. It just, stopped. Ugh. Anyhoot, new chapter.

Loki

After Tony dropped me back at the dorms, I skipped to Bruce and I's, nothing ruining my mood. Bruce was up studying like always, his glasses perched at the tip of his nose. He looked up when I stepped in and set his book aside. "Soo? How'd it go?" He asked, pushing his glasses up. My grin split my face in two as I dropped onto my bed.

"Wonderful, fantastic, glorious, amazingly amazing. Take your pick." I offered, kicking off my shoes. He smiled at my words.

"Good. Where'd you go?" Bruce started to tap his pencil lightly.

"Morray's." I told him.

"Fancy schmancy." He chuckled.

"Very. It was good, Tony had pull of course." I snorted, tossing my shirt into my hamper. I grabbed some sleep pants and exchanged my jeans for them. Bruce directed his eyes to his book. "You've seen my pantsless a billion times!" I snapped at him, throwing a sock at him. Bruce shrugged. "Such a girl." I mumbled, flopping back onto my bed. "Do we have a test tomorrow?" I asked him, looking at the book he was reading.

"I do, you don't." Bruce rattled off. "I have on in comp." Her replied, holding up his comp book. I rolled my eyes.

"You don't study for comp!" I told him, pulling my blankets around me. "Sleeping now." I turned the lamp off, much to the grumbling of Bruce. "Nighty night Brucie." I rolled over to fall asleep.

I was wandering in a frozen land, weird ruins scattered throughout. I shivered and continued to move on. A loud thud shattered the strange silence. A piece of the ruins had fallen, cracking some of the ice. I saw a flash of dark orange for a split second, so fast I thought it wasn't real. It isn't. This is a dream! My brain told me, I waved it off. A loud snarl ripped the frozen air. Something slammed into my back, sending me sprawling. I whirled around to look who attacked me. A tall, dark blue man with dark orange eyes stood above me. His sharp teeth glowed in the dim.

"You shouldn't be here." He warned in a low, threatening voice. I tilted my head at him, confused. "Leave!" He shouted, raising an ice covered arm. He brought it down, sending me jolting awake.

"Lok? You okay?" Bruce asked from his bed, his hair all over. I ran my hands through my hair, mussing it more.

"Uh, yea I'm fine." I answered, laying back down. Bruce nodded and rolled towards the wall. I followed his lead.

Tony

Sleep was a tempest that night. She would dance towards me, her hips spinning, making me drift off. Loki would appear and the tempest would stop, forcing my eyes open. I would lay awake for minutes, or hours before she would dance back. It was the most frustrating night of my life. Finally, the tempest allowed me to be pulled into sleep's swallowing embrace.

The dreams were muddled, trees, screams, plates being thrown, dad dead, Loki crying loudly over something, Loki thrown over someone else's shoulders. Morning stabbed her knife threw the sky early that day, her lights muted but a golden color. I woke to her songs, earlier then I needed. I actually showered and ate before going to the cafe.

Clouds drifted in the sky, a wind drug his claws across the campus, messing up hair and throwing papers everywhere. The cafe was filled to the brim with groggy students trying to wake before their first class. I waited in line, shuffling papers in my hands. A simple beat was tapped on my shoulder. I turned to see Steve and Clint, both dead eyed.

"I hate mornings." Clint grumbled, blinking his sagging eyes. I agreed with him and turned to order. Steve ordered his usual girly drink, Clint went for it black. We shuffled to the window tables, the only left. We sipped and shuffled around notes, making sure we had what we needed. "Gloomy and doomy today." Clint pointed to near black clouds that were rolling in.

"Almost always is in Seattle. Can't expect anything less." Steve shrugged, tipping the last drudges of his coffee into his mouth. "Cant wait for the snow." He deadpanned, lowering his eyebrows. I laughed at him and tossed my coffee cup away. We rounded up our stuff and went to class.

Meet me in the library at 1. I smiled at the text under the table and looked back up at my professor. He was going on about WWII, chattering about planes. I sighed and started to doodle in my notebook. I doodled two, swept up eyes, they looked soft but angry at the same time. I added to the eyes, a long, crooked nose and a smirked mouth. It was and wasn't Loki at the same time. Finally, he released us into the world. I scooped up my books and shuffled out. I started towards the library.

"Tony!" Nat called, running at me. She tripped on a large knot in the sidewalk and fell at me. I caught her by the shoulders and set her upright.

"Whoah Nat. Remember, six inch heeled boots aren't went to run in." I grinned at her. She smacked my shoulder. "What?" I asked, flashing her puppy eyes.

"I was just going to say hi. Also, I want a kitty." She smiled brightly at me, her red hair swirling in the breeze.

"Talk to your boyfriend about that. Also, hi." I waved at her. Nat stuck her lip out.

"But he doesn't wannt one!" She whined, stomping her foot.

"Are you five Nat?" I asked her, she nodded. "Of course you are." I sighed, looking at my phone. 1:00. "Look, I gotta go." I pointed at the library.

"Oh! Sorry, I'll let you." She hugged me and swept off. I walked quickly to the library and entered the warm building. Loki was in his bean-bag chair, a stack of mythology books at his side. "Hi darling." I kissed his forehead and sat next to the chair. He smiled at his book and flipped the page. His blue eyes flicked over the page, soaking in the words. I waited for him to finish his page, pulling a book off the stack and flipping through it. It was about Japanese mythology. I read about Ameonnas till Loki shut his book.

"So, how's your day?" He asked, setting out books back onto the stack. I turned towards him and played with his fingers.

"Fine, cold." I replied, tapping his fingers to a beat. "How's your's?" I asked. He thought for a moment.

"Alright I guess. I woke up late and almost missed my first class." He explained, laughing a little. I chuckled and shook my head.

"Good job Loki." I folded our fingers together. We sat quietly for a few minutes, listening to the shush of flipping pages.

"I-I have a question." Loki broke the silence. "What are we?" He asked, tilting his head. I thought for a long time.

"I don't know. What do you want to be?" I asked him. He thought for a few minutes.

Loki

Why did I ask this question? I shouldn't have done that! My brain was panicking now. I could feel his big brown eyes searching my face, waiting. "I want us to be a trial run. We can date for two weeks and then go from there." I decided, looking into his eyes. "If that's alright." I added weakly. He smiled and took my other hand.

"I'm okay with that. After two weeks we'll decide." He kissed my forehead.

Good? Bad? Okay?
