Chapter 9: The Parents
When the brothers got home that day, Loki was the first to notice their father, Odin, was sitting in the living room. Thor bumped into his brother, not noticing that the dark haired teen had stopped.
"What are you doing home so soon father?" Loki asked after he stumbled forward a couple of feet.
"Your school called me, so I decided to cut my business trip a few days short," Odin said as he stood up.
"Was it about Loki's absences?" Thor asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Thor go up to your room. I wish to speak to Loki alone," the older gentleman said.
The blond hesitated for a moment. He looked at his brother before heading up to his room. Emerald eyes looked at his father. Silence fell upon them as Loki stuffed his hands in his pockets.
"The school called due to your excessive absences," Odin said after a minute. "I would like to know why you were skipping school."
"It felt like the right thing to do. With mum and you gone," the dark haired teen said with a shrug.
His father stepped closer to him. Suddenly, Loki felt the sting of a sharp slap on one of his cheeks. The teenager stood there in shock. He hadn't expected Odin to do that. The teenager stood there in shock. He hadn't expected Odin to do that. The two men heard the clicking of heels come out of the kitchen.
"Is everything alright?" Frigga asked.
Loki forced a mile and looked back at her before saying, "Of course mother."
"But your cheek," the raven haired teen's mother said when she noticed the red hand print on her son's cheek.
"It's okay mother," Loki said through clenched teeth.
He shot a rather nasty glare at Odin before he headed up to his dark room. Loki threw his bag near his wooden desk as he turned on the lights. He pulled out his phone to see several missed calls from Tony.
He threw his phone on the desk. As he walked to his bed, he heard the phone vibrate. Emerald eyes rolled before he sat on his bed. Loki ran his fingers through his hair. The raven haired teen just wanted to be left alone at the moment. To be left alone in his thoughts.
Loki's breathing began to shake as tears fell down his cheeks. The teenager was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't hear the door open. The raven haired boy jumped when he felt arms wrap around his shoulders.
"Tell me what's wrong Loki," the teenager's mother's voice asked.
Loki quickly wiped the tears away. As much as he wanted to, he couldn't bring himself to brush Frigga away. He just sat there in a sullen state. His eyes were swollen and red from crying. He found himself unable; unwilling to speak.
Frigga pursed her lips. She was busy trying to figure out how to make Loki speak. The brown haired woman studied her quiet child. She watched him bring his legs up to his chest. Loki raised his arms in a shrug, finally bringing himself to attempt to get his mother off of him.
A sigh escaped Frigga's mouth before she stood up saying, "Dinner will be on the table in a couple of hours. It would be nice to see you there."
Loki's gaze followed her when she left the room. He wiped the wetness from his face. He stood up weakly from his bed. The raven haired teen walked over to his desk. He picked up his phone.
Scrolling through the texts and missed calls from Tony, he sat in the chair at his desk. Loki pursed his lips a bit. Emerald eyes scanned over the words in the texts. After a while, he slammed the phone on the desk. Folding his arms over one another, the teen put his head on the desk.
Loki had never felt himself seclude then when he went down to get dinner. He picked at his food. The only reason he was down there, he told himself, was because his mother had requested it of him. All the while, he could feel Thor's gaze on him. It made Loki feel uncomfortable in the very least.
At least at school, he wouldn't have to feel the gaze for long. But the raven haired teen had other things to worry about when he was at school.
