3 months later:
Loki stared around the crowded cafeteria and bit back a sigh. Jocks shouted and threw food at each other, preppy sluts shrieked when food landed on them as they shared a 100 calorie pack between 5 of them. The emo kids huddled in a corner, making out and trying to look deep as they posed for pictures together. Loki was just considering giving up on high school completely and going to eat in the library when he saw his little group of loners hunched over a table. He smiled in relief and gripped his smart water and bag of Doritos a little tighter as he hurried over to the table.
Victor glanced up as Loki neared and grimaced, moving his textbooks to make room for the smaller, darker teen. "Damn, I bet you wouldn't make it" Raven laughed and held out her hand, shaking back bright red hair, Victor slammed a 5 dollar bill into her hand. Loki stared at them, confusion in his bright eyes. "Why…?" Victor rolled his eyes "because you were out with Logan till like 3 last night, I assumed you would be sleeping all day today." Raven smiled at Loki "I however, have more faith in your endurance; I bet you would be here by lunch to take that chem test." Loki was just considering constructing a speech on how obnoxious they both where when Logan showed up.
"Hey there" he muttered in Loki's ear sending shivers down the teen's spine. Loki glanced up at him a slight smile playing on his mouth; Logan really was the closest thing he had to a best friend. He also was nice eye candy to have around, in his weathered leather jacket, wife beaters, and non-cliché ripped jeans. But then he also was witty and intelligent when he had to be and rough and mean when anyone messed with Loki. It was nice knowing that Loki had only to flash large doe eyes at him and Logan would beat up anyone he wanted. And then there was the best part, Logan looked old enough to get into clubs and bars, and could get Loki in.
And Loki really was the closest thing that Logan had to a best friend. Everyone else was obnoxious and horrible, but Loki was pretty, charming, razor smart, rude to almost everyone, and do you have any idea how much easier it is to get into clubs and bars when you have someone like Loki in tight clothes on your arm?
Then there was Raven, gorgeous, angry, confused by life and society, and completely in love with their history professor Erik Lehnsherr. One of the few women who didn't drive Loki up the wall and watching her change up her appearance every few weeks was entertaining to. Loki smiled as Logan settled in beside him and stole a couple Doritos out of his bag. Then he turned his attention to Victor as he loudly started quizzing Raven on chemistry. Victor actually was alright to, he did have a bit of a god complex but Loki believed that it was all contrived to protect himself from the rest of the world. And they had liked each other as well for a short time, but it was more of a mental crush then anything physical so it slowly fizzled out and died. Just as the memory ran through his mind Logan ran a finger lightly down his arm drawing Loki's attention back to him.
"I had a good time last night" Logan murmured, pushing his messy dark hair off his forehead. Loki smirked remembering the many drunken phone calls they had made last night. They had called Raven, Victor, Thor, and then Logan had insisted on pranking his ex, Jean Grey. Loki felt a blush rise to his cheeks. "So either my memory is faulty or we faked having sex last night." Opps, he said that a little loud Raven and Victor turned to stare at them both, matching incredulous looks on their faces. Logan snickered "yeah I pretended to call Jean by accident and you and I jumped around on the bed. You're pretty good at faking it though, made me wonder what your real moans would sound like." He raised his eyebrows and the look he gave Loki was so sinful Loki felt like he was just going to burn up. Victor rolled his eyes while Raven giggled and they both turned back to their homework. Logan smiled and stole some more chips from Loki; their flirting was so regular now that no one paid much attention to it.
"Loki?" oh shit, he knew that voice. Loki glanced up in dread and saw Thor standing there, tall and golden with his wingman Steve right behind him. Loki felt Logan bristle beside him and put a slender hand on his forearm "what do you want Thor?" his voice was pure ice, brittle and frozen.
Thor raised an eyebrow at Logan, and damn Loki was going to have to do damage control later, Logan and Thor absolutely hated each other and despised every second they had to interact, especially when Loki was concerned. "Tell mom that I'm going to go study with Steve tonight." Loki felt his lip curl as he glared at his brother, god why did he have to love this horrible, rude, loudmouth teenager? "And where will you actually be?" Thor glanced over his shoulder to smirk at Steve "it's not for young ears to hear"
Steve laughed loudly and threw an arm over Thor's broad shoulders "true that!" he shouted, and Loki was positively cringing, why did they both have to be so god damn loud? Every clingy wanna be was staring over at them in awe, gorgeous, blond, buff, perfect athletes, Thor and Steve, the people that everyone wanted to be, or at least get in bed. Loki could tell that Logan was feeling the same thing as him; he could feel his shoulders tensing. Loki moved his hand down and touched his calloused fingertips, Logan turned his hand to intertwine their fingers and Loki felt the tension leave his body.
"Fine Thor" he said sharply "did you need me to lie about something else or are you done?" hah, have Thor figure that one out, that single sentence laced with so much thinly veiled anger and distress. But Thor brushed it off, because that was what he did, he was uncaring and rude in public and only for a few moments in private would the mask drop and Loki would fall madly again for the vulnerable beautiful person he saw before him. And uh oh Thor's gaze had dropped to his and Logan's clasped hands and his blue eyes darkened with anger. Steve noticed and his expression turned concerned, he exchanged a quick glance with Loki. And wow that did things to Loki's heart and soul; he had exchanged a meaning filled glance with someone perfect, someone almost to the level of Thor and Odin, a god to his pathetic human self.
Steve punched Thor's arm "come on man, Fandral's waiting." Loki couldn't help himself, he was practically compelled to glance over as Thor and Steve turned away to head towards their friend. Fandral stood there a smirk plastered on his face his long hair pulled into a sleazy ponytail. How can a ponytail be sleazy you ask? Loki has no idea, but Fandral makes it sleazy. Loki is stuck in place by his piercing gaze and almost unconsciously he grips Logan's hand even tighter. He feels laid open by his stare and its terrifying him. But then he forces his head to turn and then he is staring down at the table and extracting his hand from Logan's, he can't have physical contact with someone right now, not when he is being violated by a glance. Not when he's remembering something that he really should try and forget.
Oh I had way too much fun with that, and yes it was probably utter crap, but that's ok. Know why? Because I'm shipping Loki and Logan as BFF's hardcore right now, I don't know guys, tell me if this was any good because I was going crazy over how adorable they would be and not the actual plot. Anyways I know they flirt a lot and there will defiantly be some more of that, along with the lovely Tony. Geez I keep building up Tony in these authors notes and not bringing him into the story but I swear I will next chapter….IF I get 3 reviews, that's all I ask lovelies, help me out please?
