(A/N): Long, long wait. I know. I've been busy. XS Though, this week is open enough to get a lot of writing in, so prepare for some updates throughout all my fanfics! Thanks for waiting, by the way!
"Loki, can we go to the toy area, please?" Elsa begged me in Tallmart as we were searching for car seats for her and Jack the next day.
I was pushing Jack in the buggy while Elsa kept tugging at my flannel through the aisles. "Maybe after, Elsa. Just give me a moment to tend to your needs first."
Elsa's eager expression dropped and fell into a pout. She crossed her arms and sped walked ahead of the buggy.
"Elsa!" I called, making her look back at me. "Come hold the buggy, now!"
Elsa dropped her hands to her sides and shuffled over beside me to hold onto the buggy. She didn't want to look up at me, so I continued to push the buggy until we were in the baby section of the store. I didn't want to yell at her, but she has been acting ridiculous since we first came into Tallmart. I don't want her to hate me in any way because of this day, but Elsa is really starting to make me not care about how feels about me.
"How about this, Elsa?" I sighed. "If you be a good girl, I'll buy you and Jackson a toy, yes?"
"Toy." Jack repeated with a smile.
I turned to him and smiled. "Yes, a toy. Now, let us look for some car-seats."
"Why do we need car-seats?" Elsa asked.
"To be safe in the car."
"Are you saying you a bad driver, Loki?"
I scoffed. "No, I would never put you through that if I was."
Elsa giggled. "Loki's a bad driver!"
"I am not."
"Yes, you are!" Elsa teased as she jumped up and down.
"Come here!" I say before I yanked her up in my arms and began to tickle her. Elsa shook in my arms laughing as Jackson joined her as he grabbed my flannel, wanting to join the fun.
I stopped tickling Elsa to talk to her. "Now, I'm a good driver, correct?"
Elsa giggles again. "Yes, Loki."
"You won't make fun of me, yes?"
"Yes."
"Good. I thought I would have to take away that toy you wanted…"
"No!" Elsa wined as I lowered her back onto the ground. "I want my toy!"
"Elsa, you will! I was only messing with you!"
Elsa sniffled as she stared at me for a brief second before reaching out for my hand. I grabbed hers as I used my other to push Jackson down the aisle and continued into the baby section of the store.
"Damn it! Why did I have to purchase "Do-it-yourself" car-seats?" I spat as I tried to shove two large car-seat boxes in my trunk out in Tallmart's parking lot. "This is not going to fit…"
"Do you need help?" I heard someone ask behind me. I looked over my shoulder and caught a glimpse of a tanned woman dressed in a blue sweater bigger than herself and black jeans. Her long and shiny black hair laid over her shoulders and down to her waist as she smiled. Her green eyes were bright, but intimidating.
I was utterly attracted to her, but I really wanted to get home and spend the next three hours in relaxation since Thor decided to do overtime. I stopped myself from trying to shove the boxes into my trunk and turned to the woman.
I scoffed. "Is it that obvious?" I playfully asked her.
The woman laughs. I lay my hands on my hips and glanced back at the boxes before returning my eyes back on the woman.
"Well, I am having a bit of trouble if you are willing to assist me." I continued.
"I'm willing." The woman replied as she stepped passed me. She grabs the smallest box between the two and easily took it to the front passenger's seat of the car. Then, the woman walked to the trunk, pushed the last box inside, closed the trunk, glances over at me, and grins.
I scoffed. "Charming."
"You're welcome. Now, what's your name?"
"…Loki."
"Denise, but you can just call me Den."
I raise a hand. "A pleasure to meet you, Den."
Den took my hand for a shake before crossing her arms. "Well, I need to go. I haven't had lunch yet and I'm starving."
"Hey," I say, reaching for Den before she headed off. "Dinner. With me. Tonight?"
Den grinned again. "Tonight?"
"You're a charming woman."
Den giggled. "Trying to be a smooth ass, but I will allow it for this first date to see what you're about."
I bow to her. "I am your date then." I teased before raising back up to smile at her. Though, her focus was no longer on me, but behind me. I looked over my shoulder in the direction she was looking and found Elsa in the car making kissing expressions at Den and I while Jackson sucked his thumb, staring. "Uh…"
"That's hilarious." Den says.
