~ Chapter 9 ~

Loki had finally found the house and were currently looking up at the massive house. It wasn't even a house. It was a mansion. He had no idea how many rooms there were in there but he held no illusion that the family who lived there were filthy rich.

That was Thor's family.

"Fuck." he whispered as he took in the white stone house with brown frame works around all edges. The roof alone looked to cost more than his own apartment. He checked the front address once more before gathering his courage and walked up to the front door. Contrary to what he had expected, the doors were only average size and almost looked inviting.

"Well, it's now or never." he told himself. If he were at the wrong place he would soon find out when someone opened the door. He pushed the doorbell and a clear, soft ringing doorbell sound, almost like a wind chime, rang out inside the house.

He thought he saw the curtain move in one of the windows when he nervously looked around. Then he heard big steeps approaching the door until they stopped and heard what sounded like a curse and then running away.

Loki narrowed his eyes as he tried to figure out what was happening. His instinct to run himself was creeping up on him when the door suddenly opened and a small petite lady in her mid-years stood in front of him.

Long curly honey-brown hair that spilled around her pretty face. Light brown eyes looked into his green orbs and somehow he knew he was at the right place.

"You're Loki right?" she asked in a cheery voice. He only nodded. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Frigga. Thor's mother." she held forward her hand to him.

He took it out of politeness but as soon as she had a firm grip on him she pulled him into a hug. "No need to be shy." she put her hands on his arms and pulled back to watch his face. "You are part of our family now."

"Yes." was his only answer as he smiled.

"Oh." She pulled him into another hug. "Thor didn't do you justice. You are so cute." she pulled back with a playful look. "If you ever get bored of my son then you can come to me."

Loki's nerves finally broke and he smiled from his heart. "As much as I would like to take you up on it. I think your son is more than enough for me." He was lead into the house and he couldn't help but admire it. "It's a gorgeous home you have." he commented.

Frigga shrugged her shoulders. "Yes, well... an expensive home is just a decoration. It's nothing if you don't have anyone to share it with. My husband is always away so I don't see him often. But my son, who you have met, fills this house up more than enough." she turned to give him a serious look. "You have no idea how much work it went into repairing this house when he grew up."

Loki laughed. "Is it any different now?"

"No." Frigga confessed with a laugh which joined Loki's. "It's not." steps came from the top. "Speak of the ogre." she said looking up with a smile.

Loki followed her eyes and saw Thor standing at the top with a goofy grin. He wore a white shirt and loose brown pants. Compared to Loki's black pants and green jumper.

"Hi." he said in a small voice.

Thor raised his hand and waved.

"Loki." Frigga said, catching his attention. She raised her hand toward her son. "This is Thor. My son. I apologize for his lack of manners."

Loki laughed as Thor came thundering down. "Mom." he said before wrapping Loki up in a hug. "Missed you." he whispered.

Loki turned his head until he could feel their cheeks were touching. "Do you always miss me?" he asked playfully. But in reality were happy because he too had missed Thor.

"Of course." he said while pulling back. "An hour is to much."

Loki leaned in and kissed Thor gently. "Sorry. I missed you too." he repented.

Thor's arms went around Loki's waist and into his back pockets. "You're forgiven." he placed a kiss on Loki's nose.

"Do you boys want some privacy or do you want to keep my company for a while?" Frigga asked from the sideline. "I would love to get to know Loki some more before you ravish him."

"MOM!" Thor exclaimed, blushing once more. Loki only laughed since he didn't know about earlier.

Loki stepped back so that Thor's hands were pulled from his pockets and he caught one in his and looked at Frigga. "If you have any stories from Thor's younger age then you have my full attention."

"LOKI!"

"More than enough for the day."

"MOM!"

Both Loki and Frigga laughed as they pulled Thor into the kitchen where some plates and glasses were placed out.

"Do you drink coffee or do you prefer some soda?" Frigga asked as she went to her double door fridge.

"Coffee is fine." Loki said as he smelled the fresh batch.

They took a seat at the table while Frigga went around and filled up with various snacks and delicious things. Pretty soon, the kitchen were filled with laughter.

It wasn't until the sun had completely set for the day that they noticed how much time had went by. They had moved from the kitchen to the living room, and when Loki sat down a safe distance from Thor, the other pouted before pulling him closer so that they were spooning against each other. Frigga took one of the two large padded chairs.

"Oh my... Look outside." Frigga suddenly exclaimed when she saw the darkness. "Do you have far home?" she turned to Loki.

He nodded in acknowledgment. "It was quite far. I should go." he began to stand up when Thor pulled him down.

"You are not going home alone. I won't allow it." he said commandingly. "It's not safe."

"Come one. I will be fine." Loki said in defiance.

"No, Thor is right." Frigga said as she pulled the curtains. "It's not safe this late. You will have to cross some heavily used roads and drivers can be pretty reckless this late. I won't allow anything to happen to you." there were no objecting her words. "You can stay in Thor's room. He has more than enough space for the both of you."

Loki looked from one to the other and he could see that there were no way in hell that they would allow him to leave so he sighed and gave in.

"All right." he said defeated. He really couldn't stand against the united force of his lover and his mother.
