Sorry for the long wait, enjoy!

Loki found that he spent most of his time watching TV. It even overpowered the time he spent at work. But he mostly found himself thinking of Eli. So, he decided one day that the two things he does and thinks about most, should be mixed. That was what brought him to ring Eli's doorbell that day.
"Hello Loki." Mulan answered fiercely.
"Hello little girl. Is Eli home?"
"Oh, I don't know, I might need something to jog my memory." Mulan held out her hand and flexed her fingers twice.
Loki stared at her hand. "That means give us some money doof." Kitty came up and said. One thing Loki noticed about these two girls was that they were always together.
"What you can't even answer the door by yourself?" Loki taunted.
"What was that? A brilliant story about how you trying to kidnap us?" Mulan threatened.
"You wouldn't."
"I think I can hear Eli calling the police now, and your chances with her plummeting to…." Kitty started.
"ZERO!" Mulan finished and the girls high fived.
"Fine." Loki finally agreed, pulling out his wallet.
Mulan shook her head. "Oh, no. We're not taking your money. That was just a test. I'll get Eli."
Loki relaxed a bit. "Okay, wait! A test for what?"
The two girls looked at each other and laughed.
"What?!" Loki repeated, but the girls left. Then Eli walked up. Her hair was a bit astray from the work day, but she smiled at Loki. "What's up?"
"Um, well, I. I…"Loki searched for words. He usually was smooth with the ladies, but the ladies weren't the lady Eli who for some reason made Loki's stomach flip-flop. "I like TV."
Eli shrugged. "Cool, me too."
Loki shoved his hands in his pockets. What should he say next? He tried to think of what he would say to just any girl. A compliment, he'd give her a compliment. "I also like your shoes."
"I'm not wearing shoes." Eli pointed out.
Loki looked down at her only socked feet. "I know isn't that funny?" Loki faked laughed.
"I guess." Eli returned half heartedly. "Well, I better go…"
Man up Loki, he told himself. He could do this. "Wait!" he said. It just a question, he thought. "Want to go see a movie with me?"
Eli looked up at him. "Like a date?"
Loki smirked. Looked like she was doing the work for him. "Yes, like a date."
"No thanks."
"What?!" Loki snapped out of his day dream.
"I don't want to go out on a date."
"Why not?"
"I just don't."
Loki slumped away, defeated. How could she reject him? Well, he thought, apparently it was easy to reject him. His heart boiled with anger. He made dinner for her, more or less. He crawled in sky tubes with her, even though he had to do that, he, well… It suddenly occurred to Loki that he hadn't done that much. Maybe to get a date on Earth, you had to do a lot. Loki then decided that from then on, he would make it that she had no choice other than go out with him. But what, what could he do? He settled down in front of his TV, and then while watching a commercial, it hit him. First I'll get her flowers. He decided.
The florist at the counter looked nothing like what Loki thought a florist would. First, it was a guy. A guy with big muscles and a mermaid tattoo. Loki thought it should've been a girl with long, flowing brown hair like Eli's.
"Hey dude, how can I help you? Did ya mess up with your girl?" The florist asked.
Loki read his name tag. "Well Kyle, I need some flowers. Pretty ones preferably."
Kyle nodded. "I see bro. How about, a rose. Everyone likes roses."
Loki nodded. He bought a dozen red and white roses mixed and went off to the second step of his plan, chocolate. Apparently, on Earth, chocolate and flowers was the thing couples did. Finally he got home, and and went back to Eli's door, yesterday's rejection still burning in his mind.
Eli came out, her eyes wide at Loki's gifts.
"Hi," Loki began shyly. "These are for you."
Eli bit her lip, looking away. "Loki, I can't accept this."
"Well, why not. I want to date you."
"I don't want to go out on a date."
"You have to, I bought you flowers and chocolate, that's how it is. The boyfriend brings the girlfriend flowers. You are now my girlfriend." Loki said.
"No, I'm not."
"Why not?!" Loki yelled.
"Loki, I already have a boyfriend."
Loki felt as if his heart was being crushed. Like nothing would ever work out. He tried to play it cool. "Really, what's his name?"
"Nick." Eli said, trying to smile at Loki.
"Oh how nice."
"Can we still be friends?" Eli asked as Loki turned away.
"I don't want to be just friends. You can keep the stuff." Loki handed it off to her and left, his heart had already fallen off his sleeve and it lay shattered on the ground, being stepped on.
Well, was that any good? Hopfully. I'd love to hear any comments, complaints, questions or suggestions! Thanks for reading!
