"Oh my God!" a high-pitched voice squeaked. "You're so cute!"
Loke smirked, ever since Lucy had given birth to a baby he had learn the power an adorable, chubby, face had on all women, and only had to take a walk down the road with Nashi in his arms and he would suddenly be mobbed. This time round he barely got to the park with eighteen moth old Nashi when a gorgeous sounding woman squealed in delight at the sight of Nashi with her stubby pigtails, pink dungarees, and deceptively sweet and innocent face.
He turned round, shifting Nashi in his arms so she could continue looking adorable facing the right way, and shot his best flirtatious grin at the stunning, obviously single and broody, blonde woman.
"Why thank you," Loke purred suavely, "you're rather cute too."
"Oh, erm," the woman flushed with embarrassment, "I wasn't talking to you," she admitted sheepishly, "I was talking to the baby."
"I know," Loke smirked, "I was talking on her behalf. This is Nashi," he bounced Nashi lightly in his arms, "my sweet little goddaughter."
Okay, goddaughter was a gigantic lie on massive proportions. He had no idea who Lucy and Natsu decided on in the end he just knows that Fairy Tail turned it into a huge gladiator fight that he lost rather quickly to Erza (who had decided she would try out for both godmother and godfather) of all people! But he had learnt early on telling women that Nashi is 'his mistress' child' never ended well. In fact it usually ended with him getting slapped for some reason…
"Oh!" the woman said breathlessly. "She's adorable!"
"Yes," Loke agreed, as he tickled Nashi's side and caused her to squeal and giggle loudly as she squirmed in his arms like a little kitten, "she is. What do you say Nashi? Do you say hello to the nice lady who thinks you're adorable."
"Hello!" Nashi said as she waved. "Hello Lady!"
"Aw!" the woman squealed. "How sweet! Hello Nashi!" she cooed as she patted Nashi's cheek. "Aren't you just the cutest?"
"Yes," Nashi nodded solemnly.
Loke and the woman laughed and he gave Nashi a light, jokingly chiding, tap on the nose before he squeezed her close to his chest. Nashi burbled endearingly as she wrapped her arms round his neck. "Hey, would you like to join us?" he asked the beautiful woman, "We're getting ice cream and playing on the swings."
"Oh no!" the woman shook her head. "I couldn't!"
"Yes you could," Loke said encouragingly, "it wouldn't be intruding if we want you there, right Nashi?"
"Ice cream!"
The woman laughed. "It's not that," she said, "I have somewhere to be and I'm already late."
"Well," Loke said, "how about dinner tonight? Nashi and I could meet you here at seven and take you somewhere nice."
"That would be nice."
"Excellent," Loke grinned, "oh, and by the way, Nashi's bed time is at six so it'll just have to be the two of us but I'm sure if dinner works out Nashi will have no problem joining us for ice cream and the park tomorrow."
The woman blushed prettily. "All right," she murmured as she shot Loke a look that certainly suggested dinner was going to go well tonight.
"Seal it with a kiss?" the woman spluttered at that and Loke immediately hurried on. "Through Nashi, I meant. Nashi likes kisses, don't you sweetie?"
"Ice cream!"
"That means yes," he translated quickly.
"All right," the woman laughed, "seal it with a kiss.
And with that they both ducked down and pressed chaste kisses on Nashi's cheeks. Nashi squealed, delighted at the attention, and they shared one last smile before the woman murmured her goodbyes and petted Nashi's hair one last time.
"Well done, Nashi!" Loke grinned as he bounced Nashi in his arms. "You just landed your Uncle Loke a date with a smashing lady. Best wingman ever, yes you are," he cooed, "oh yes you a-EEK!"
Loke stiffened as he felt a dark presence standing behind him. The person's hand on his shoulder dug in and he let out a shrill squeal as sharp nails pierced his skin. Slowly, ever so slowly, Loke turned round and tried to smile radiantly at his Mistress.
"Lucy!" Loke squeaked. "What are you doing here?"
"I go into the nursery to find my baby isn't in her crib," Lucy said in a deceptively calm voice that made Loke sweat bullets. Lucy was never calm when she was cross, a storm was most certainly about to start. "And why?" she growled furiously as her eyes flashed dangerously. "Because some perverted Tom-Cat robbed her in order to use her luring some tarts!"
"But Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucy!" Loke whined. "Girls dig sensitive guys with cute babies and Nashi is the cutest around, just look at her sweet face." He held up Nashi as a shield which certainly did nothing to impress or endear Lucy to his cause. Instead she raised a cool eyebrow at him, her fury evident. "And I'm not hurting her or anything. She's being showered in love and attention and adoration," to prove his point he pressed a kiss on Nashi's temple and she giggled in response, "what is possibly wrong with that?"
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT IS THAT MY BABY ISN'T SOME CHICK MAGNET THAT YOU CAN USE WHENEVER YOU WANT!" Lucy suddenly exploded as she snatched Nashi out of his arms and cradled her to his chest. "GO FIND SOME OTHER BABY TO CORRUPT WITH YOUR NEFERIOUS PLOYS!"
And with that she sniffed haughtily and marched away with her head held up high.
"….crap!" Loke cursed. "Who am I going to use to lure women in now?!" he complained to himself, and then, immediately after he said that an idea hit him and his face lit up…..
"Hey Gray, my man! My brother! What's up?" Loke said cheerfully when Gray answered his front door. "We don't spend any time together these days. We ought to catch up."
"….Okay," Gray blinked dumbly.
"Hey," Loke said casually as possible, "you have a cute kid, don't you?" he asked. "How about I do you a favour and babysit for you?"
The door slammed shut in his face.
"How rude!"
