Loki Odinson

Drabble # 10

Silence

Loki, the god of mischief, chaos, lies. Being labeled as these things forever left a brand on the handsome prince, no women looked to him for a lifetime of compassion or love, just one night of adventure. He never looked to the woman who was there to console him until she was fed up with his self pity and ignorance. Loki could never forget the way she confessed her love for him. It wasn't in the least romantic or elegant as most people would imagine.

After becoming fed up, Kari promptly pushed the prince away from her.

"You idiot! While you sit here and wallow in self pity your too dense to realize the woman here with you is hurting more than you ever could!" he had never seen her so upset before, but instead of trying to defend himself he sat and listened to her words.

"You go on about wanting someone to be there for you and realize that you are not all about mischief, you need to realize that I've been here for you since we were children! Why can't you realize that I've been in love with you from the start?" When she finished her outburst her words faded into a desperate plea. Loki sat, contemplating the words he had heard from her.

There was no romantic kiss, no romantic words to console her. Nothing.

For once, Loki's silver tongue was silenced just when he needed it the most.
