This is the second chapter up today, I had to get it done! So here it is :) Enjoy x
CHAPTER ELEVEN:
Loki killed innocent people, although he wasn't in his right state of mind, he was a god, but not just any god, he was the god of mischief and lies, so why did Vienna feel this way about him? Each day she spent in his presence she felt more and more attracted to him.
Vienna sat quietly in her room, drilling small holes in the shells and then attaching the ones that didn't break to a thin string. Vienna was concentrating so hard on trying not to break the shells, that she didn't notice Loki's presence standing in front of her.
"You seem eager to finish this tonight," Loki said, his voice deep and amazing, giving Vienna goose bumps.
"Yeah, well when I set my mind to something I won't stop until it's done," She said, not looking up at him, knowing that if she did she would blush.
"Determination is a great thing, but you should eat," Loki said.
"I've almost finished this, I will eat soon," Vienna said, threading the string through a shell. Loki shrugged.
"It's your health," He said and turned to leave. Vienna's stomach rumbled. She sighed.
"Ok fine, let's go get some takeaway, I don't feel like cooking," Vienna said, sliding off her bed and pulling on a pair of brown boots.
Vienna and Loki sat with full stomachs on the couch in front of the TV.
"I think I'm going to explode," Vienna groaned.
"I doubt you would explode, you would throw up first," Loki smirked. Vienna laughed.
"Oh great," she smirked. Vienna pulled her legs up onto the couch and looked over to Loki, he was smiling, a genuine smile.
"You know, for the god of lies you seem really nice, occasionally demanding and arrogant but nice," Vienna smiled. Loki looked at her, his expression unreadable.
"Just because I am a god and my title doesn't mean that I have to be cruel and viscous," He smirked.
"I know, it's good," Vienna said, turning her head back to the TV; although she didn't pay much attention to what was on. After a few minutes, Loki spoke.
"I think I want to change," he said. Vienna looked back at him.
"What do you mean?" She asked, confused.
"You were saying earlier that you don't like to dwell on the past, that you would rather focus on the future and not hate; I want that," Loki said, truly "I don't want to hate anymore, especially not people who were so important in my life, I don't want to dwell on past events anymore and hold grudges, I want to move on from all of that," Loki said "Like you said earlier, why hate, it wastes time and all you get out of it is tiredness and depression" He added. Vienna nodded and turned her whole body to face him.
"Loki, if you don't want to hate anymore, then just let it go, let all the anger and sadness of your past go because you don't need it anymore," Vienna smiled. Loki nodded and returned the smile.
"I must thank you, Vienna, even though it will take some time to let go of my past, you have shown me how important it is to do so," Loki said "You are happy, are you not? Because you don't hate," He asked. Vienna nodded.
"My life isn't the best, but it is a lot better than it could be," She said. Loki shuffled closer to her.
"This could very well be the turning point in my life," He grinned. Loki felt excited; he hadn't felt excited about anything since before he fell from the rainbow bridge, perhaps since he was a boy.
"So what will happen now?" Vienna asked. Loki looked up at her, a confused expression on his face.
"What do you mean?" He asked. Vienna shrugged.
"Well, now that you know you want to get rid of your hatred, how are you going to do that? Where are you going to start?" Vienna asked.
"Well, I have already started," Loki said, thinking…
"What do you mean?" Vienna asked.
"Well, I had an immense hatred for Midgardians, but I don't hate you, in fact I have grown to really like you and I have no reason to hate the humans for they have done nothing to me," Loki said.
"Well, I'm glad I am liked by someone," Vienna laughed "I don't have many friends," She shrugged.
"Nor do I," Loki smirked "You are probably one of my only friends at the moment," He smiled.
Friend zoned… great Vienna thought hold on, what's he doing?
Loki leaned in closer to Vienna and placed a kiss on her cheek.
Never mind, it was just a kind gesture Vienna still couldn't help blushing. Loki was sitting really close to her now, she liked it…
They sat in silence for a while longer, the television buzzing quietly in the background occasionally laughing at something on TV but sitting contently in silence. Loki thought it weak to open up so much to Vienna, but he felt good in doing so. He really did want to change for the better, he wanted to rid his feelings of sadness and anger and leave his past behind. Vienna was his turning point; she was the whole reason behind. As he looked up at her, staring back at him, he realised that he needed this mortal, he couldn't let her go.
Loki looked to Vienna who was sitting close to him, staring at the television with a blank expression on her face.
"Thank you, Vienna, for everything," He said solemnly. Vienna looked at him and smiled.
"Well, I'm glad I could be of some use, you're welcome, Loki," She said.
"I might go to bed now, we both have work in the morning unfortunately," Vienna sighed and stood up, stretching.
"Goodnight," She smiled and turned to walk away, but was stopped by a cool hand on her wrist. She looked back down to find Loki looking up at her; he looked so innocent and handsome. He then stood up, he towered over Vienna.
Loki suddenly crashed his lips upon Vienna's, when she registered what was happening she kissed him back. Loki snaked his hands up to cup Vienna's face.
"Goodnight, Vienna," Loki smirked mischievously when he broke the kiss after a few minutes. Vienna looked lost; she just nodded and began to walk towards the hallway, looking back over her shoulder at Loki. What just happened?
When Vienna got to her room she felt all giddy and happy inside, she wanted to scream out in joy at what just happened but she controlled herself. She wasn't some little school girl with a crush, she was a grown woman, but that didn't stop her school girl feelings.
