The God of Mischief had gotten a job in a large company in no time and seemed to be a very talented attorney. He knew when people were lying and he knew for example how to make them sign a document they didn't want to sign. He had more job offers by the end of the month, which didn't interest him at all, he just needed to maintain his illusion, so that his identity would be trustworthy. He had made an arrangement with the company that he only had to be present two days a week, which gave him the opportunity to spend time with Jane and to go to Asgard at least once a week.
He had explained to Jane that he had gone out of town last month, which was why he hadn't been able to go to see her earlier, which she of course understood.
When they weren't working or Loki wasn't visiting his home, they had been doing a lot of human stuff, like going to restaurants, to the cinemas, ice-skating, taking strolls in the evening and all the other things people did to enjoy themselves when they had spare time. The astrophysicist even forced him to watch E.T. with her, which made Loki cry of laughing, because he imagined his father riding a bicycle saying: "Odin phone home."
He had found out a lot about Jane and her the past three months, she had told him almost everything.
He had told her that his family died last year, which is why he had decided to move to New York a few months ago. He didn't know what else he could say to make sure, she wouldn't want to visit them one day.
"How did it happen?" Jane asked.
"Airplane crash." He answered pretending being sad about it.
"All of them?"
"Yes they were coming to visit me from Europe and my brother wanted me to come to his graduation-party," he thought about the coronation that was supposed to happen next year, "but I had no time so I didn't and so they came visiting me and the plane crashed."
"That is horrible, I am so sorry." She said almost crying herself, which made the Demigod feel bad about himself lying to her. He decided to quickly change the subject. They were walking through the Central Park on their way to Loki's apartment. He had been enjoying the time with this woman more than he had enjoyed anything in his life. Every time they touched made him feel like he was having shocks even though when it merely was an unintentional brush. It made him get chills and it felt like his stomach was making somersaults. He had been living for so long and still there was nothing comparable to this. Why did she have to be a human? She would be dead in no time.
"John?" When they were standing in front of the skyscraper she looked into his eyes with a anxious oeillade.
"Yes?" He looked down at her, seeing her fiddling with her hair, unsure about what she was going to say. Suddenly he felt his blood stir and his hands started shaking slightly again. Seeing her looking at him like that made him feel dizzy.
"I- I wanted to say that- that -" She stammered shyly.
"That you've fallen in love with me?" He smirked.
"What?" She blushed with widened eyes. How did he know that? This was certainly not the words she would have chosen, but yes it was true. Oh god, this was embarrassing as hell, she wanted to run away immediately.
"I know." He breathed brushing a hair-strain out off her face affectionately, sliding his hand down to her neck. Jane freezed. His slightly cold hands on her skin gave her chills and it felt like her heart wanted to jump out of her chest. Suddenly she couldn't do anything anymore. Her pulse quickened and the heat rushed into her head. Was he in love with her as well?
Loki pulled her head closer to him softly, not breaking the eye-contact. Oh God, Oh God! Jane thought while her breathing wasn't as fluently as normally. She could feel his breath on her skin and wanted nothing but to kiss him this instant. She closed the gap eagerly and pressed her lips onto his. Loki sighed into the kiss, letting his feelings go. He closed his eyes and pulled her closer to him, while she opened her mouth, letting him enter with his tongue. Jane's hands were in his hair, trying to pull him nearer to her. Loki followed her rhythm, which showed that she was thirsty for more. As was he. His hands were holding her waist and head, pressing her onto his body. He broke the kiss unwillingly, yet if they would continue this on the middle of the street it wouldn't end well. They both breathed heavily, still holding each other in their arms. "Shall we go upstairs?" He asked signing to the top of the tower with his eyes, smirking at her naughtily. Jane nodded happily, following him into the building.
It was wonderful for her to wake up next to him. She had never slept this well next to a person ever in her entire life, even though they hadn't been sleeping much that night. She stretched her body, yawning to get the sleep out of it and turned around to look at the man sleeping next to her tranquilly. Jane smiled stroking his hair slightly and gave him a kiss on his cheek, before she got up to make breakfast, not seeing that Loki smiled half-sleeping into his pillow.
When she was standing in the kitchen making scrambled eggs, she heard him enter the room.
"Morning." She said with a wide smile, keeping the focus on the eggs, not looking up to him.
"Good morning, love." Loki said walking up to her. "I see you are hungry." He was now standing directly behind her. He stroke her hair out of her face, freeing her neck and started kissing it. Jane felt the goosebumps diffuse on her body, while she felt his slow and soft kisses with the combination of his breathing in her neck.
"Stop it." She laughed, trying to concentrate on the bowl in her hands. "I'm trying to make breakfast." She shrugged her shoulders unintentionally, caused by the chills he had created with his mouth. She almost let the scrambled eggs fall out of her hands.
"Breakfast can wait." He breathed with his lips on her neck, smirking.
She turned around to him, facing him with a teasing grin. "Aren't you hungry?" She asked placing her arms around his neck and played with his hair between her fingers.
"I am hungry for something else." Loki said with sparkling eyes, grabbing her waist and pulled her into a passionate kiss. He lifted her, not breaking their kiss and carried her into the bedroom again.
"I have to go out of town today." Loki told her, when they were eventually sitting at the table, enjoying their round two of breakfast, which was eating the scrambled eggs.
"Okay." Jane said understanding, yet looked at him disappointed. She had hoped that they could spend the evening together.
"I will be back in three days." He said, when seeing her sad frown.
"That is alright, I am able to write or call you, it's not like you're on another planet." She stated chuckling.
Alright, he hadn't thought about that tiny problem. How could he be able to talk to her on the phone, while he could not use his cellphone in Asgard? Another illusion? No he refused to use illusions on Jane. "I won't be able to use my cellphone a lot, since we're working all day long and I can't focus on work, when you're on my mind. I mean you are already on my mind all day long, but when I start to talk to you, I want to talk to you all day." He said smiling, hoping she wouldn't take this as an excuse.
"You are right, I let my work slide the last couple of weeks anyways, it will be good for me to be able to actually focus on that as well." She laughed, noticing it was only three days. "I guess we will survive."
"Sooooo...?" Darcy looked at her best friend as if she was waiting for something to happen.
"What?" Jane asked confused, when they were sitting in the university with Erik at a table with open books and calculations spread on it.
"Well, you and John?" She asked smirking. "What happened?"
"What do you mean what happened?"
"Oh my God, Jane!" She shouted annoyed. "Do I have to tear every answer out of you? You look like you had sun-rays for breakfast. You're shining all over the place!"
"Keep it down." Erik whispered to the girls. He had been used to these kind of conversations already, he had given it up to compel them to keep their minds on the more important things in life, like for example physics, it was useless, they would continue the talk either way.
"Have you spent the night with him?" Darcy whispered towards Jane.
"Seriously, Darce?" The woman asked upset, while she blushed.
"You did!" Her best friend squealed. "I am so happy for you!"
"Ssshhhh." Erik interrupted them again, rolling his eyes. These were the kind of conversations he didn't want to hear.
"How was it?" The brown-haired woman asked curiously.
Jane felt her lips forming a smile when she thought about John and the last night. "Amazing." She whispered.
Loki was still smirking, thinking about his woman on earth, when he stepped through the gate of Asgard.
"Hello Loki."
His smile faded immediately when seeing his mother standing in front of him. He had not expected to see anybody else than Heimdall.
"Have you been using a memory spell on him?" She asked reproachfully signing to the gatekeeper, who was standing next to her.
Loki didn't answer, he looked away feeling caught.
"One can tell, he is getting oblivious."
"Nothing serious, mother. Look at him, he's fine."
The muscled man stood in the middle of the room, looking at him bewildered.
"Loki!" Frigga called him when he wanted to walk away, in the same voice as the time, when he had done something wrong as a child. The Demigod sighed and turned around. "What?"
"I will make sure Heimdall will become his old self again. But you can't use this trick carelessly, it can lead to dire consequences!"
"Fine, I'll not do it again." Loki rolled his eyes.
"Thank you, I will talk to him that he will let you leave, without telling anybody." She told him with an understanding look on her face.
"Why?" Loki asked confused. Why was she helping him?
"Well I've seen you - the few days you were really here - the last weeks and I have never seen you smile like that before, so I am sure now that it is about a woman." She looked at him happily.
"Does father know?" Loki asked worried, not wanting him to know what he had been doing.
"No." his mother replied. "But I had to help you with you're illusions a bit. Oh, and perhaps you should know that you talked to him yesterday, telling him that you were sorry for everything that happened."
"What? I don't want to talk to him." He said annoyed. "And I am not sorry."
"Well, you said something different last night." She smiled self-assured. "If you want something else, you should be here more often."
Loki groaned frustrated, turning around walking the rainbow-like road to the palace. Great, he thought, now he had to talk to his father again.
A/n: Yeah I know the relationship develops quite quickly, but it is only the beginning of the story... so that is why I am using timelapses here quite often ^^
