Chapter Three: Thor's Crush (part 2)
It was around noon when they got home. Loki was greeted by Sigyn, who kissed him on the cheek and gave him a hug as soon as he stepped in the door.
"How was the mission?" Sigyn asked. She had her light brown hair pulled into a loose ponytail. She was wearing a white T-shirt and black leggings with tennis shoes. Even though she hadn't put hard work into her look, Loki still thought she was beautiful.
"It was alright," Loki replied and kissed her back. "Oh, I had to kiss Karnilla to get her to undo the curse. I'm sorry…"
Sigyn smiled. "It's alright. Now, if you didn't tell me and if it was under different circumstances, then you should be concerned about your life."
The couple shared a laugh as Thor came in from the garage.
"Karnilla is locked up at the Raft, so we don't have to deal with her anymore," Thor announced, interrupting the couple's happy moment.
"That's good to hear," Sigyn said. She let go of Loki and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "You two must be hungry."
Thor shrugged. "I can eat."
"You can always eat," Loki teased and poked his brother in the side. Thor slapped his hand away, making Loki hold his hand and pout.
"What was even caused the mess in Cupertino?" Sigyn asked from the kitchen.
"Karnilla placed a curse where nobody could lie, so when truths came out, people fought," Thor explained and sat down at the kitchen's island. "It was madness; we're lucky that she wasn't powerful enough to affect anything other than the city."
Loki sat down next to Thor and leaned on the marble top. "Do you want to know what I learned in Cupertino?" he asked Sigyn with a hint of a grin on his face.
"Sure," Sigyn said without turning around as she opened cupboards to find something quick and easy to cook.
"Thor has a crush on Jane Foster," Loki excitedly said. He dodged Thor's slap and laughed.
Sigyn turned around with a box of Mac and Cheese in her hand. "The human? I thought you two split years ago?"
"You promised not to tell anyone!" Thor complained.
"I promised nothing," Loki retorted and jumped up from his seat as Thor lunged for him.
Sigyn watched as Thor chased his little brother around the kitchen and the adjoined living room. Loki jumped over the couch, just barely out of reach of Thor's hands.
Thor knocked over the couch and ran behind Loki, who had dashed out into the backyard.
"Thor has a crush on Jane!" Loki sang teasingly as he was chased by Thor around the large, grassy, backyard. "Thor has a crush on Jane! Thor has a crush on Jane!"
The brothers were stuck in a little dance, each one not moving forward as they waited for the other to make a move. Loki faked heading to the right, causing Thor to lean that way. Loki laughed and moved the other way, but Thor was quicker. He lunged forward and grabbed Loki around the waist. Loki laughed and struggled a bit as Thor carried him over to the pool and leaned him over the edge.
"No, don't!" Loki gasped between laughs. "You know full well that I cannot swim."
"I told you not to tell anyone," Thor complained and leaned Loki a bit further over the water.
"It's just Sigyn," Loki said and struggled against Thor, but it was no use since Thor was much stronger than him.
"The whole house probably heard," Thor said. "Say you're sorry."
"I regret nothing," Loki said stubbornly.
It was the wrong thing to say. Thor pulled Loki back and tossed him right into the water. Loki flailed his arms and legs as he fell, and landed with a large splash in the pool.
Thor balanced precariously on the edge of the pool since the motion of throwing Loki into the pool made him lose his footing. He windmilled his arms in an attempt to regain his balance. It was all in vain, though. Thor fell forward into the water, sending up a large amount of water into the air.
Loki, who was clinging tightly to the opposite edge of the pool, laughed at Thor's expense.
"That's what you get for ruining my perfectly good outfit!" Loki called.
Thor's head popped up and he rubbed his eyes to clear his vision.
"You deserved it," Thor retorted and swam to join Loki. Loki placed his hands on the edge of the pool, gracefully pulled himself up out of the water, and spun around to sit on the tiles.
"Hm," Loki mused and laid down on the warm tiles. He stretched as Thor climbed out of the water. "I never would have guessed that you liked her. I always thought that you liked Valkyrie, instead."
Thor ran a hand through his head, shaking water droplets onto the ground. "Whatever."
"Are you satisfied?" Loki asked and stared up at the blue sky.
Thor took note of how close Loki was to the pool and grinned. "No," he simply said. Thor gave Loki a hard push and watched as Loki rolled into the water again with a loud yelp.
When Loki's head reappeared, Thor was met with a glare. "You are such a pain," Loki muttered and half-walked, half-swam to grab hold of the pool's edge.
"What else did you expect? It's always an older brother's job to pick on his younger brother," Thor teased.
Loki huffed and extended a hand towards Thor, obviously wanting help to get out of the water. Thor, quite stupidly, grabbed Loki's hand. Loki yanked hard, and Thor fell face-forward into the pool.
"You are such an idiot!" Loki called and climbed out of the pool without assistance. He stood up and wrung out his shirt.
Thor glared at him from the pool, catching Loki's attention. He spread his hands innocently. "Well, what did you expect? Really, Thor, you're so clueless sometimes," Loki said.
Thor sighed and decided to take the stairs out of the pool.
"I'm going inside to change and eat," Loki announced after he had wrung most of the water out of his clothes.
Thor pointed threateningly at Loki. "Don't you dare tell anyone else. If Bucky hears this, he'll never leave me alone!" Thor threatened.
"Hm, I'll think about it," Loki mused with a hand on the door.
"Do you promise?" Thor pushed.
Loki's face twisted in thought. "Maybe," he said and slipped inside with a mischievous grin plastered on his face.
"LOKI!" Thor growled and chased his brother inside. Thor was never going to hear the end of this, not if Loki could help it.
Once again, this is kind of based on the TV show Supernatural. More mischief is coming up next! :)
