Part 2- Tricking the Trickster

Early morning sunshine flooded through the window onto the girl's face. She groaned and rolled over, coming face-to-face with Loki. A soft smile graced her features. The trickster looked so beautiful when he was sleeping. Not that he wasn't sinfully attractive doing anything in general. His black hair was tousled and hung around his pale face, framing it. In sleep his face had a child-like innocence and vulnerability that he always tried to hide in consciousness. Watching him, she remembered how he had woke her last night and had a wicked thought. With a devilish smile she put her plan into action. Letting out a piercing scream she scooted backwards off the bed.

"A man, a man! There's a man in my bed" she screamed. Loki woke with a jump and sat up staring at her in bewilderment that changed to shock and horror. Biting back the laugh that threatened to overwhelm her she continued with her hysterical tirade. "What happened? Why are you here? What did you do to me? Am I still a virgin?" at this last question a look of pure horror and fear washed over Loki's face.

"I can explain" he started, desperately. At his panicked expression the girl couldn't hold it in any longer. She doubled up in laughter, gasping and pointing as Loki tried to come to terms with what had happened. The panic slowly changed to a rueful smile which, as she continued to laugh, changed slowly into slight anger.

"Your face" she gasped "You should've seen your face" and she doubled up laughing again. Loki looked at her in exasperation.

"It's not that funny" he pouted, folding his arms over his chest. At his reaction the girl laughed even harder.

"It was" she hooted. Loki looked at her and shook his head, his eyes darkening dangerously.

"You really think that tricking the trickster is a good idea?" he growled. The girl shook her head, still laughing.

"No, but totally worth it" she laughed. With a growl Loki lunged at her, pulling her onto the bed and pinning her underneath him.

"I do believe that you're being disrespectful" he growled, trying his hardest to be serious but her laughing face made it hard, threatening to awaken an answering smile on his own. "I do believe you should be taught a lesson" he growled into her ear. She gulped. He grinned. He knew what she was expecting him to do and although it was tempting, he declined. "But for now, I'm going back to sleep" he said, letting his body drop against hers, his weight pinning her to the bed.

"Oof. No fair" she said, trying to squirm out from under him. He paid her no attention.

"Goodnight" he mumbled sleepily. A smile slid across his features as he heard her muffled expletive.

"Damn"
