Yay! Chapter 5!

I don't know why, but it seems that my head kinda worked very well lately. I created so many stories and fics recently. And I must write them down as soon as they popped up in my head because they would get in my study if I don't. I got bad scores if I let them stay inside me, that's why you get this story update so soon - maybe not that soon. LOL...

I won't write a very long author note, so let's just get started!

"Fenrir? Yamino-kun? Are the two of you talking to me?" Loki asked his sons.

Both nodded.

"It seems Thor didn't lie about giving me my power back," he concluded. "How are you?"

"We both are great, father," Fenrir answered the question for the two of them. "You seem so confused."

"Indeed, I really am confused," Loki told his sons. "For a long time I'd been a God. It was so great to have those powers and living through the ages, but when I met Mayura, I felt I didn't want to leave her. That's why I didn't go back to Asgard when I was asked to return five years ago."

"Yamino and I knew very well about you and Mayura, father," Fenrir replied. "We, too, want to have those powers back. We also want you to hear our voices just like now. But, when it comes to your happiness, we would rather choose your happiness than power. What's the benefit of having power without having happiness?"

"Fenrir...," Loki muttered.

"We're okay with our forms right now. Since I am actually a snake and Nii-san a dog, right Nii-san?" Yamino said and looked at Fenrir.

"Yes. You don't have to worry about us, father, you should be worried about yourself. If you choose your power, you won't be able to be with Mayura. Because a God and a human never meant for each other. She would grow old, but as a God, you won't. She would die and you wouldn't change a bit from what you look like right now," Fenrir tried to convince his father.

"That's very true. I do understand about that. But, the thing is I'm not sure that I'm ready to be just a human being. This whole time, I've been keeping some of my old belongings to create magic. But, I couldn't do the high levels, only the magic that a regular human could do. Thor is going to take them away from me, my ability to create magic will be vanished completely. This house, though not as great as the old one, is also created using magic of course not the whole thing, just some parts of it," Loki said. "Sometimes, my money also comes from magic. That's why I must got a real job if I am to leave the world of Gods and magic."

"You can look for a place to live or money to buy some foods, father, but you can't have happiness without Mayura. Because she's been the one to keep you happy this whole time. Because of her, you can continue on living as just a human," Yamino said.

"I understand, sons. I would tell Thor that I don't need that power anymore," Loki smiled at them. "Let's talk as much as we can until the day he comes for my answer."

The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds up in the sky. Mayura went to Loki's house. She had her hat on because it was so hot. She knocked at Loki's door. No answer.

She knocked again, louder than the first one. When she received no answers for the second time, she called his name.

"Loki! Are you inside?" she asked. From the wooden door she peeked inside his house. She found him sleeping on the floor with Fenrir and Yamino. She opened the door and it swung open in front of her eyes, he forgot to lock it.

"Oh my," she sighed, then looked at her boyfriend and shook her head. She knelt down to be closer to him before she shouted, "Wake up, you idiot!"

Loki was half awoke from his sleep. He looked up for several seconds, but returned to sleep again.

"I said, 'Wake up!'," Mayura repeated. He looked up and saw her.

"Mayura...," he murmured. "I'm still tired..."

Mayura stood up and stood him up, she tried to lay him on his bed. "At least, sleep there!"

He didn't answer, but continued on sleeping. Mayura put her things on a stool and she opened the food she brought for him. Usually when she came, he always asked her to get the food ready as soon as possible, but this time, though she was late on delivering his breakfast, he didn't care. 'Maybe he is really tired right now. Lucky, I made the one he likes the most!" she thought.

She got the table ready as soon as she could and went to him. She kissed him a good morning kiss on his forehead and telling him that his breakfast was ready. Her sweet voice woke him up. He shot a smile at her, which she interpreted as a thank you from him. She nodded quickly as she gave him a wet towel to wipe his face.

"Ready to eat your breakfast now?" she asked him. She was unusually patient and very kind that Loki was stunned for a moment when he heard her asked him.

"Well, yes...," he quickly responded after recovering from that surprise. "Mayura, why are you so patient today? It's not like you."

"Really? I don't think so," she gave him a questioned look and Loki didn't continue on the topic.

"My favorite," he said. She nodded and smiled.

"Ano nee, Loki-kun. My father said if you want to uhm... marry me, you should be quick. He doesn't want to wait any longer", Mayura told him while he was eating.

"Of course, if he finally lets me to marry you, I will. This whole time, the one who's keeping me from marrying you was him. I just want him to know that I'm not that easy giving up on you", he said, smirking. "And the result has shown that it goes really well".

Mayura smiled in a real delight. She giggled just like a school girl after hearing his excuse, "Mou, Loki-kun... You shouldn't say that about your soon-to-be father-in-law".

He continued on eating while looking at her. Yes, she was his joy and because of that, he thought that he was ready to give it up, all of those powers, he was ready to let them go.

But, the thing was, he was not ready to let go of his sons.

The next chapter is going to be the last one. :D (That's because I skipped a day)

Yay! I'm really excited to write the next one. Well, actually I still wondered how Loki's going to face this. This story has somehow progressed differently -a bit- from what I have expected it to be. But, don't worry, it will make a fine twist... :D

Thanks for reading! I love you guys so much!

And reviews are greatly appreciated, if you don't mind to give me some, of course. :D

See you on the next chapter!
