A/N: Hey guys, Thanks for reading. I really do appreciate it but I have a few questions if a few would care to answer it would help me with the progress of the story. What do think of the speed of the story? What is your opinion or the summary? Possibly the title? Are things making sense/falling into place in the story or should I be clearer or approach it differently? Needs more sex lol? I'm just becoming obsessive about perfecting it.

She heard the footsteps coming towards her bedroom. She figured she'd be in for a shouting match with Sif but the footsteps came from more than one person. She curled up closer to Thor and pretended to be asleep as the steps drew nearer. She listened closely, the door squeaked as it opened. Whoever was coming had already walked inside. She heard a sweet cooing. She tried to mask her suspicion.

"Aw, Odin… Look at them." She heard the voice of her mother whisper. Loki suddenly felt the urge to jump up and out of the room but she did not do this. She stayed still and continued to act. She heard her father groan softly.

"Look at what? They're too old for this." He replied quickly. From the sound of it, it seemed he was already heading out the door once more. "You know I don't encourage coddling." He added. Of course he didn't, especially when it came to coddling Loki it seemed. Thor didn't have the same pressures she had. She knew Odin cared more for him than he did for her. The jealousy brewed into a pit in her stomach.

"I think it's cute." Frigga sighed as she walked out of the room as well. "When are you going to tell them?" She asked as she exited Loki's room.

"I was planning on announcing it at dinner." He replied, Loki could hear it all the way down the hallway. Loki sat up when she was sure her parents were farther away. She turned to look down at the slumbering Thor and let out a small sigh.

Loki lingered in the driveway for most of the day. The days were getting cooler; a sure sign that summer was ending soon. She dribbled the basketball alongside the driveway as she stared up at the hoop that was bolted to the top of their garage. She licked her lips as she started to do a low dribble with the ball, then bouncing it with one hand and bringing it through her legs to her other hand. She tossed the ball towards the hoop and missed it narrowly. She cursed under her breath. She jumped from the sound of a car horn honking. She leapt out of the driveway onto the lawn as she watched Heimdall's truck park in their driveway. He exited and shot an angry glance at her. He pointed his finger at her as he walked by.

"I'll deal with you later." He said in a scolding tone as he walked into their house through the garage. Loki's green eyes widened. She watched closely and waiting for him to disappear then darted away from their home. Luckily she had already grabbed her list before going outside. Loki jogged down the road until she was tired. She turned around, peering down the road. She out her hand, her thumb sticking up. Hopefully she'd just be able to catch a ride today. A few cars would pass, but none would stop. Finally a truck would come to a halt, she hissed in victory as she pulled open the passenger door and climbed inside, slamming the door closed.

"Where to youngin'?" The person asked as they began to drive forward once more. Loki shrugged her shoulders as she leant on the truck window, staring out of it.

"The dump will suffice." She replied quietly.

"The dump? What's a kid like you plan on doing around there?" He replied. Loki looked over and observed the other carefully. He was definitely an older gentleman; he had the common features of most of the people in their town. Blonde hair, blue eyes. But whenever he spoke Loki could notice the dialect differences, she feared she may have been kidnapped by an out of town murderer. Her eyes widened as she turned to look out the window again.

"Sorting recycling, I do it every Sunday; I like to be active in preserving the environment." She grinned, lying through her teeth. In turn the male grinned as well, obviously buying her fib. He nodded his head and started to focus on the road once more until finally reaching the edge of town. He slowly brought the car to a halt then turned to look at Loki once more.

"Well here we are. I'm glad that you're doing your part young man." He started. Loki nodded and pushed the door open, hopping out. "Don't stay out here too long. Your mother will probably be worried!" He added. Loki rolled her eyes before turning around to look at the older man once more.

"Who are you anyways?" She asked tilting her head. A hint of condescension in her voice, his eyes widened just a bit before he chuckled and shrugged.

"Steve Rogers, I'm not from around here. I saw you on the road and figured I'd pick you up" He answered. "I'm just doing my part… being a good Christian. Always glad to help, like you." Steve finished. Loki raised a brow, he wasn't even around here. She flashed him a faux smile, desperately wanting to say 'I didn't ask your life story Steve.' She should've robbed him or something, but she immediately dismissed the thought. Her politician father didn't need her ruining his campaign with her crimes. She shrugged then bowed at him before turning and walking into the junkyard. She heard the truck speed off, leaving dust behind as it disappeared down the road. The volume on the big band music that had been playing on the radio was raised as it moved farther away. She groaned as she grabbed up a milk crate lingering on the ground. She whistled as she kicked at the garbage on the ground.

"Styrofoam… and glass bottles… Styrofoam and glass bottles." She repeated, remembering the rest of her list. Or at least the bits she knew she could find at the dump. Her green hues scanned the mounds of trash until she spotted an area with bottles, the bottles she wanted anyways. Glass and still intact, she darted over and began to gather the bottles up carefully. Placing each in the milk crate, Loki gathered at least ten of them. That should've been more than enough. She wandered around the mounds again; she found a rope and tied one end to her milk crate so she could drag it around. Loki scratched her head as she watched the sun sink lower into the sky. She needed to get home soon. She reached deep into her jean pockets and glanced at the list once more, her fingers sticky from the used bottles.

"Styrofoam acts as a thickening agent." She whispered to herself. "Sound important…" She sighed. She didn't want to just give up when this ingredient seemed to be necessary. She sighed as she looked around some more hoping she'd see it miraculously.

"Hey! What are you doing!?" A voice yelled. Loki gasped as she picked up her crate once more and ran out of the dump and back onto the road. When she finally reached the town square again, she knew she wouldn't be able to get back in time for dinner by walking. And the chances of her getting another ride from a stranger were scarce. So she did the only thing she could do, she went to a pay phone and dialed the house phone- praying her mother or father didn't answer.

"Hello?" Thor's voice said on the other line. Loki exhaled in relief before leaning on the glass of the phone booth.

"Thor, I'm trapped in town." She said sharply. She heard him clear his throat on the other line. Loki rolled her eyes as she tapped on the glass awaiting her older brother's next words. They came quickly; she assumed he went to get his car keys or something.

"I'm on my way. Stay where you are." He said finally. "See you in a bit." Thor added before the dial tone rung in Loki's ears. She slammed the phone upside down and giggling, she exited the booth and plopped onto the sidewalk sighing. So hoped Thor would hurry before some of his buddies passed through. Loki groaned as she kicked her feet against the pavement and wiped the sweat from her brow. She was always sweating, it wasn't even an attractive sweat. It was simply repulsive, she pulled her shirt upward to wipe off her whole face. When she retracted the shirt she noticed the large sweat stain it had left behind. Loki sighed again, her green eyes lifted from her shirt when she heard the sound of Thor's car horn bursting through her ear drums.

"Okay! Okay! I'm coming." She groaned as she stood once more. Thor must've drove fast, she wasn't expecting him this soon. Loki placed her crate in the back. She hopped into the passenger seat and slammed the door hard before slouching deep into the seat.

"Heimdall came by." Thor started. Loki's eyes widened but she tried to play it off.

"Oh, did he?"

"He told Father you stiphoned gas from his truck." Thor added. Loki turned her head as she raised a brow.

"You mean siphoned?"

"That's what I said." She heard his voice crack. It was funny how no matter how deep his voice had gotten that had occurred once in a while. Thor subtly cleared his throat.

"Sure Thor." She sighed. She wondered how he even got this far in his educational career. Loki crossed her arms as she drifted deeply into her thoughts. It wasn't that she thought Thor was stupid, but he was definitely childish, and silly. Seemingly, nobody cared. He had still been advancing successfully all these school years. Whereas it felt as if Loki has had to prove that she was intelligent all the time.

"Father is probably going to ground you for the rest of the summer." He whispered.

"Oh no, a whole week in my room, whatever am I going to do?" Loki yawned sarcastically. It was probably for the best anyways, after the drunken fiasco the night before. Loki shuddered at the thought and quickly tried to draw her thoughts to other things.

"So, are you okay?" He asked. "I know last night was rough." 'Speak of the devil' she thought as she looked back to her brother.

"I'm fine." She muttered. Thor nodded as he turned his head and focused his blue hues to the road. Something about that moment made Loki want to flee, but that obviously wasn't an option. She turned her head away from the blonde to avoid any more words between the two for the rest of the car ride.

"We're home!" Thor shouted as he jumped out of the truck. Loki lazily followed behind, dragging her feet on the grass then finally making it to the front porch. She was dreading dinner tonight.

"Boys, come in and wash your hands. Supper's ready!" She heard Frigga yell from the kitchen. At least once or twice a week the Olsens sat down and had dinner together. Loki hated these dinners, to her it was nothing but awkward. She wandered into her bedroom and slid her closet open; her bucket of gas was still standing. A good sign, she placed the crate of glass bottles on top of it and closed the door. Loki wiped her face with her forearm as she lingered in front of her closet.

"Loki, it's dinner time!" She heard Frigga's voice from the kitchen. She groaned and ran out of her room towards the dining room. She sighed as she wiped more sweat from her brow. Loki noticed her parents were already seated and Thor was making his way to the table. Setting up the plates like the "perfect son" he was. Loki rolled her eyes as she finally took her seat. Frigga sighed as she glanced at her. Loki lowered her green hues, she was sure she was about to be scolded. When Thor finally took his seat they all linked hands with each other around the table and closed their eyes. All except for Loki- she darted her eyes at this point. She hated this part.

"Lord, we ask that you continue to guide and bless our family. We hope that this will not be the last time we eat together as one. Amen." Odin recited. Loki wanted to groan, throw up even. But she maintained her composure.

"Amen." They all seemed to chime, except for Loki. She speedily retracted her hands and sat them in her lap as Thor began to serve the dinner. The table was beautifully displayed as always, her mother would probably have a heart attack if it wasn't. Frigga seemed to have taken this dinner more seriously than anybody in the house.

"Loki, say 'amen.'" She heard. She looked up quickly to see the glare of her father's judging eyes. She rolled her shoulders then shrugged. Odin wasn't taking his eyes off of her. Thor awkwardly placed the broccoli on Loki's plate then glanced at their Father.

"Loki…" Odin repeated. Thor took his seat as he piled his plate with meat then passed the plate. He glanced over to Loki- nodding his head while wide eyed. Signaling for her to just say it, in response Loki rolled her eyes.

"Amen." She said quietly before lowering her head and picking at her food. She could hear Odin groan from the other end of the table. This moment was almost the epitome of their relationship. As the family started to dig into the food Odin cleared his throat to capture their attention once more. Loki raised her head lazily and let her vision rest on her father.

"We all know that Thor is starting his senior year in a few weeks." Odin started, Loki rolled her eyes again. She glanced at him for a few more seconds and observed the years of aging on his face. He looked like such an old man to her. It was strange; would Thor look like that when he got older? How did their mother manage to stay with him this long?

"So I decided, a good idea would be an internship for his resume. He would be working in my office. Working on my campaign team and speaking at events. Just like what my father did for me." He continued. Loki looked up, her eyes more open now. Odin was letting Thor join his campaign team? That wouldn't be taken lightly, this was a big deal. Because… she wasn't sure why, she couldn't quite place it. But she recalls a desire to join the campaign inside herself. Loki lowered her head as her blood boiled in fury. Thor always got things, and he didn't even have to ask. It always came to him.

"Wow, that's great Dad. When do I start?" Thor perked up, grinning. Frigga looked between Odin and Thor with loving eyes. It was like Loki was just a viewer, looking through the window of this perfect family.

"I'll let you know but I've made all the arrangements and Heimdall is working out all the paper work. This should be a very good year for you Thor." Odin said, a faint smile appeared on his lips as he reached out his hand to pat Thor's shoulder. Thor gave a thankful nod in return. Loki felt like throwing up. She gulped before glancing upward at them again.

"Can I work on the campaign team too, Dad?" She asked. Her voice was uneasy and raspy from the anxiety burrowing into the bottom of her stomach. The table was silent for a few moments.

"Well Loki I appreciate the enthusiasm but, this is Thor's time. He has schools to apply to this year. When you're a senior I'll do the same for you."

"Oh Odin, can't you do anything to squeeze Loki in?" Frigga said quickly, glancing over to Loki in sympathy. But regrettably Loki didn't want to be involved anymore; she saw her Father was more enthused by Thor being by his side than her. Loki lowered her head and sighed, she cursed the day she was born with female genitalia repeatedly in her mind.

"I'm sorry, it's simply not possible this point. The race will be starting up again soon. There's simply too much to do." Odin said dismissively. After that nobody spoke until the meal was done. Loki made it her business to retreat to her bedroom but of course she was stopped by whom else but her father.

"Loki, you're grounded for the rest of the summer. You're not allowed to leave the house unless your mother wants you to run errands or you absolutely have to and it's an emergency." Odin scolded in a whisper. Loki lowered her head saying nothing.

"Do I make myself clear?" He added. Loki nodded as she turned to walk down the hall but was stopped once more.

"Loki, what did you even do with the gas?" He shook her a little. "You realize siphoning gas is illegal. You know better."

"I used it all to burn stuff in the woods." She lied.

"Well that's also illegal."

"I'm not gonna do it anymore." Loki said as she lowered her head as she gulped again. Odin nodded his head in contempt and released his grasp on her. Loki ran to her room and shut the door. Loki jumped onto her bed and groaned as she stared up at her ceiling.

"Don't worry Loki, I'll talk to him about letting you join too." She heard Thor's voice from the other side of her door. She shook her head as she rolled over and let out a sigh. She wasn't even sure if she wanted that. And their father wasn't interested in the idea. Nobody was ever interested in the idea of Loki. Not unless they felt slighted by her like Thor's friends. She hated how the night before kept popping into her mind. It was too painful to even remember. And she knew every time she'd look at herself she'd remember what the trio had done and she knew she'd never be able to tell Thor.

Fall

"She hasn't left her room since you made the announcement." She heard Frigga say from the hallway. Loki had been rolling her basketball back and forth as she sat on her room floor. It was a lot more organized at this point, since she had been spending almost all of her time in it. She barely even left to eat, she was certain she lost five pounds since she was grounded. She didn't mind being grounded since she was upset by the events at Thor's party. She was dreading going to school today. What if people saw her? What if people knew?...What if Sif told everyone after Loki chopped off her hair? She hadn't heard from the shrew in a while and she wasn't calling Thor or even attempting to visit. It was definitely suspicious.

"She's not supposed to. She's grounded." Odin replied finally. Loki rolled her eyes, she hated when her parents used the wrong gender pronoun behind her back.

"No Odin. She never eats, she never talks to anyone. Not even Thor. I think she's depressed." Her mother whispered. Why did they decide to talk about this in the hallway where she could hear them? She slouched against the wall, bored of rolling her basketball around. She sighed; this grounding did hinder her ingredient hunting. That bothered her more than anything. Perhaps today after school she'd do it, since her sentence was finally over.

"Do you think she needs a therapist?" Odin asked in a hushed tone.

"She's needed a therapist for a while, Odin."

"Well then, you arrange it and we'll tell her when you've got the plan figured out."

"Odin, that's not how it works."

She heard the two go silent. Loki shook her head as she got up from the floor and began packing her backpack.

"I have to go to work now." She heard Odin say finally and heard his footsteps resonate down the hallway. Then she heard light knocks on her door.

"Loki, sweetheart? Don't forget you have school today." Frigga called out.

"I know." She replied.

"Alright… Well I have to go to work now. Make sure you eat something before you go out."

"I'm not depressed." She stated bluntly. Loki heard her mother fall silent.

"Well… have a good day dear." Frigga added before taking her leave. Loki rolled her eyes and sat by her window and watched to see both of their cars leave their driveway. When they were finally gone Loki left her room and wandered into the kitchen. She sat on the counter and couldn't help but remember her dream of her and Thor. Great, now she felt gross. There was no happy medium in her mind.

"Ready for school brother!?" She heard Thor's voice boom from the living room.

"Yeah whatever."

"Need a ride?" He asked, jogging into the kitchen and hopping on the counter top beside her. Loki said nothing as she lowered her head. Thor turned to look at her and immediately wrapped an arm around her. She sighed as she leant her head on his side.

"Awww, Loki don't wanna go to school." He said in his baby voice. He started to pet her hair. It was true, she was very reluctant to leave the house at this point.

"Don't worry, if anything happens I'll be right there. All you have to do is tell me." Loki exhaled hard from Thor's statement. Before she could answer she was being snatched up from the counter and carried away to Thor's truck. Loki didn't squeal or squirm; she simply let it happen this time. It wouldn't have been likely of her doing this on her own anyways. He plopped her into the passenger's seat then proceeded to the driver's seat. He started to drive as Loki lingered in his lap.

"You probably shouldn't be down there while I'm driving." He chuckled as he drove. Loki ignored him as she closed her eyes and nuzzled his thigh. During red lights he'd pat her hair periodically. Loki was starting to get that weird feeling again, she wanted to ignore it but it was inevitable.

"What would you like sir?" She heard from above. Damn it, why did Thor always stop at places before going to school?

"Just two vanilla frosted donuts and a coffee." He answered. Loki closed her eyes once more as he drove ahead, picking up his order and driving on the road again.

"I got you a donut." He said finally.

"Feed it to me." She replied jokingly. Unbeknownst to Thor, he obliged. He pulled the car over for a moment and broke the donut into pieces and brought it to Loki's mouth. It was a particularly delicious donut. It must've been fresh or something, usually Loki wasn't one to eat sweets. Thor brought down the final piece to Loki's lips his fingers lingered for a moment.

"Ah gross, I got icing all over my hands now Loki." He whined.

"Shut up, I'll just lick it off." Loki groaned as she brought Thor's fingers into her mouth and started to suck the lingering icing off of them. She pulled his fingers away and observed his hand once more. There was still vanilla on his index finger. She twirled her tongue around the tip of it then licked up and down on the sides.
"Yum." She said inaudibly, finally releasing Thor's hand from her grasp. She adjusted herself and rested her head deeper in his lap. Loki shivered when she felt something against her cheek, and it seemed to be hardening and thickening. Her green eyes widened when she realized it was likely Thor's penis. Loki jumped up and retreated to her side of the car and stared at Thor. Did she just give her own brother an erection?

"What?" Thor asked innocently. Loki looked away, trying to resist her urge to puke up the donut she had just eaten. She felt strange again, not only had she given her brother a boner- but she was feeling a bit aroused from the thought of it. Loki exhaled hard as she stared out the window.

"Uh, nothing… The sugar in that donut really woke me up." She lied. Thor grinned as he started to drive once more. She was silent again as they drove down the road straight to their high school. Loki shuddered from the thought of having to be amongst people again.

"Hey Thor! How was your summer, oh wait. I already know. AWESOME!" She heard an underclassmen shout at her brother. They were far from each other at this point. He was on the end of the hall with all the seniors and "popular" kids while she was on the other side trying to understand her new locker.

"Hey Loki, sorry about what happened at your brother's party." She heard the voice of Fandral from behind her. She turned quickly, imagining herself shooting him in his thorax with a sawed off shot gun. She blinked bringing herself back to reality, and noticing Hogun and Volstagg were with him.

'There would be nothing I'd love more than to disembowel you and hang your organs around my bed as trophies.' She thought intently. She exhaled as she stared at them and suddenly felt the urge to vomit. The wave of nausea was overwhelming her. She darted to the bathroom.

"Shit guys, what if she tells Thor? Or her mom? We're not gonna get off with a warning, we're actually guilty this time." She heard Fandral mutter to the others.

"And whose fault is that?" Hogun spat angrily. Loki wondered what they were referring to but there was no time. She hopped into a stall and proceeded to vomit, heaving over the toilet.

"I think you're in the wrong bathroom." She heard from outside her stall. She turned her head as she wiped her mouth. She stepped out of the stall, seeing Sif standing before her. Loki gulped.

"I know you did this Loki." She spat as she pointed to her head. Her hair had grown out a bit but it was now turning black. Loki tilted her head; she wondered how that was even happening. Sif started to sniffle as she moved closer to Loki.

"It's not growing back as blonde. You've ruined my hair, forever." She choked back tears. Loki lowered her head; a hint of sympathy lingered in her mind but it swiftly vanished when she remembered what Fandral and the rest had done.

"You've cursed me." Sif added. Loki lowered her head again. Any shred of empathy that she had was wiped away when she remembered that night. Loki said nothing as she headed out of the bathroom, ignoring Sif's tears.

"No come back, you have to help me. I'll have you suspended." She called out.

"I didn't do it at school. I can't be suspended." Loki replied simply as she exited the bathroom. When she reached outside the bathroom door a crowd had gathered. Loki gulped as they all started to laugh boisterously. She looked up at the sign that had the words "men's" taped on. She must've not been paying attention; she pulled off the sign to reveal that the bathroom she was in was really the girl's room.

"I told you that you were in the wrong bathroom." She heard Sif murmur behind her. She had slinked out of the bathroom right after her, and was now laughing along with the others present in the hall. Loki looked downward and started to pant. She cursed under her breath as she ran down the hallway. Away from the scene.

"Thanks for finally joining us Loki." The teacher said in a monotone as she sulked into the classroom. She'd usually get a seat somewhere in the middle of the classroom but she was late. She could only get a seat in the back, not a good start for the school year. She sighed as she dropped her backpack on the ground and slipped into a desk. She observed her classmates, the usual people. Nobody to be excited about, the teacher continued explaining the curriculum of the school year. Loki found herself drifting off into her imagination due to boredom. She sighed and wondered if Thor actually had an erection this morning or if she had been hallucinating. She had been feeling so insane for the past few weeks, it was a possibility.

Loki sat her head down on the desk, she wasn't paying attention anyways. She was having trouble sleeping at home to start with. Maybe if she closed her eyes for a few moments she'd feel better. Loki sighed as she covered her face with her arm as she attempted to will herself to sleep.

She finally awoke to the sound of the bell. She licked her lips as she yawned; she looked around and noticed the classroom emptying. She grabbed up her things and treaded out of the classroom as well. She lazily made her way to her locker, anxious to attend her next class. She cleared her throat and it was peculiar. Because her humming sounded different, her eyes widened as she ran for the boys bathroom. She was sure to check this time. As her eyes met the mirror she saw she was a male again. Loki cursed under her breath, she was dreaming. Perhaps things wouldn't get weird if she tried to control her dream. She slowly walked out of the bathroom into an empty hallway, the lights were dim… The scenery was much different than it was before. The halls echoed as she walked down them, she gulped as she tugged at her shirt, trying to urge herself to wake up. Something grasped her from behind; she jumped in fear as she tried to wriggle away but before she knew it whoever grabbed her turned her around and pressed their lips against hers. She slowly opened her eyes and saw it was Thor; he was seemingly the light and center of the hallway. It was beautiful.

"Thor… We can't, not here. We're at school." Loki's new voice said. He ignored Loki and continued to kiss him deeply pressing him against the lockers. Loki shivered as Thor's hands wandered under Loki's clothes. He whimpered into their kisses and ran his thin pale fingers through Thor's golden locks. Thor's mouth moved away from his younger brother's and downward to his alabaster neck, biting and staining the skin to a pink shade. Loki moaned softly in his brother's ear.

"Not in the hallway." He whined.

"You're right." Thor replied in a husky voice. He grabbed Loki's arm and brought him to the janitor's closet, gently tossing the raven haired male inside. Thor stepped inside as well and closed the door behind him. He ferociously began to kiss Loki again as his hands pulled up Loki's shirt. He descended, Thor was now on his knees. Thor stared up at Loki for a moment and winked. Loki's face flushed red as Thor pulled Loki's jeans open and pulled out his throbbing member and stroked it gently. Loki threw his head back as he moaned loud again. Thor's free hand made its way to Loki's ass, Loki squirmed a little. Startled from unfamiliarity, but Thor quickly shushed him as his grasp on Loki's cock tightened. Thor's index finger lingered around Loki's asshole a few moments before he finally inserted it and began to try and finger his younger brother deeper. Loki's knees buckled from the pleasure, he started to pant as he grasped Thor's hair as he added another finger to the mix. Loki shivered as he felt his body heat up from the waves of pleasure that Thor was delivering to him. Thor chuckled as his hand movements quickened, enjoying Loki's moans and whimpers.

"Thor, stop I don't want to come yet." He whined. Thor simply chuckled again as he let his tongue circle around the head of Loki's dick. Loki cried out as he felt his body tense up into an orgasm, Thor had ignored his request completely. Loki's eyes lowered during his orgasm, they widened from the sight of blood all over his pale stomach. He started to hyperventilate simultaneously with his groans of pleasure. He was frightened from the sight but it wasn't hindering his climax, suddenly the blood was dripping onto the blonde's face. Thor simply looked up and smirked as if it was nothing.

"Wake up." He moaned repeatedly. "Wake up!"

Loki hopped up in her chair and glanced around at the class, it was still going on and she was back in reality. She cleared her throat as she wiped her forehead, breathing heavily. She glanced over to her peers she was sharing the back of the room with. Some weren't even looking at her but others were shaking their heads.

"You were moaning in your sleep. Hard." One of them whispered to her. Loki blushed as she looked forward, vowing to herself to never fall asleep at school ever again.

She groaned as she placed her things in her locker and slammed it closed. Loki raised a brow as she noticed a note poking out of it. She snatched it out and read it carefully. It mentioned meeting somebody behind the school. Loki had her fill of embarrassment for the day so she ignored it and made her way into the parking lot. She wandered around until she spotted Thor's truck; she darted over to it and leant on it. He wasn't out of class yet it seemed so she simply waited. Loki whistled as she stared at her supply list, she had swiped some of the styrofoam cups from the cafeteria during lunch and stuffed them into her bag. She crossed them off the list. All she needed at this point was lighter fluid, corks and rags. Sounded simple enough.

"You didn't show up." A voice said. Loki screeched and staggered as she held her chest. What was it with people sneaking up on her? That shit was getting old. She blinked a few times, realizing it was Sif. Loki groaned now.

"Of course I didn't." She growled.

"You have to take responsibility for your actions Loki. You can't keep weaseling out of stuff and putting the blame on others." Sif whined. Loki rolled her eyes as she stepped away from the other girl.

"Alright, do something." Sif stayed silent after Loki's statement. Loki quickly smirked and crossed her arms as she stepped towards Sif once more.

"Exactly." She hissed. Sif lowered her head. Loki reveled in her victory but this was too soon. Because in that instant Hogun , Fandral and Volstagg appeared from the woods. Her first instinct was to run, but she didn't. She knew Thor would be coming soon.

"Loki, we have to talk." Hogun grumbled as he stepped closer to her. Loki lowered her head and looked away.

"We understand that we were wrong. " The ginger called out. Loki started to breathe heavily from anger, she knew it was all lies.

"Whoa Sif, what the fuck happened to your hair?" She heard Fandral chuckle. Loki took this opportunity to try and run away. She shoved passed Hogun and tried to run. She was unsuccessful, Hogun had grabbed her and pinned her to the hood of Thor's truck. Loki started to whimper as the memories began to flood into her mind. Running never worked.

"We're not going to hurt you." He said. She didn't believe it, they all were obviously in it together.

"Seriously though Sif, that shit is scary? What type of life are you living?" Fandral laughed again. Hogun turned his head angrily in his direction.

"Shut up! We wouldn't have this problem if it wasn't for you!" Hogun yelled.

"You already broke my nose, what more do you want from me?"

"What are you guys talking about?" Sif whispered. They all fell silent. Sif stepped closer to Hogun as she tilted her head.

"What did you guys do?"

"It's that idiot's fault. We decided to check Loki while we were-" Hogun trailed off.

"Wasted?" Volstagg finished quickly. Sif screwed up her face.

"Are you guys serious? I told you to not do anything, you didn't even remember until I told you."

"We had to make sure." Hogun sighed.

"Why would I lie!?"

"It doesn't matter now we're in deep shit. Unless Loki keeps her mouth shut." Fandral said coolly as he stepped closer as well. Volstagg maintained his distance.

"Are you going to say anything?" Hogun hissed as he turned his dark gaze back to Loki. Loki whimpered a little before frowning.

"I'm telling my Dad this week and you'll be tried, and your lives will be ruined." She said slowly and coldly, with the deepest malice. Fandral scowled and cursed, Volstagg's face went pale and Hogun's expression was that of defeat. Sif had still seemed to be confused. Maybe she hadn't been involved, but in a way she was regardless. She was the one who told them.

"I'll make it my business that you're all tried as adults." She added. Hogun screeched and threw Loki to the ground. She coiled over as the others gathered around her.

"You little shit!" Hogun yelled as he started to kick at her hard, soon Fandral joined in.

"Guys stop! What are you doing!?" Sif yelled and tried to pull them away from Loki. They shrugged her off as they continued to kick and stomp on Loki.

"Hogun, Fandral?" Thor's voice said. Everybody stopped to look at him, his face looked hurt and appalled. He stepped closer to the scene and jumped from the sight of Loki on the ground. He ran to her side and brought her upward. He looked between the others while Loki lay in his arms twitching. Her face, stomach and arms were stinging from the blows laid upon her.

"Loki… What did you guys do!?" He yelled. They stayed silent. Thor asked the question once more but was not given an answer.

"Please don't tell me it has something to do with-" Thor started.

"It always has to do with that! I don't know how you can pretend like it didn't happen. I don't know how you can run to her aid when she'd use you as a scapegoat in a heartbeat." Sif yelled.

"You're all obsessing over nothing. Nobody remembers, even you didn't at a time, so why are you letting our past define us?" Thor yelled. Loki squirmed in his arms and he sighed as he stared downward at her.

"You all need to reevaluate your priorities." He sighed as he carried Loki to the back seat of his truck. He slipped into the front and started up the car. "We'll talk tonight." He called out to the others then drove off in a quickness. Loki rolled over as she lay in the back seat.

Loki awoke in her bedroom, it had been night. She didn't even realize she had fallen asleep. Her clothes had been changed into her pajamas. Thor appeared in the doorway with a bowl and a wash cloth.

"Oh you're awake. Good. " He said sitting on the bed beside her. He dampened the cloth and began to wipe her arms with it. Loki shivered as she lowered her head. Maybe it was time to tell Thor what his friends had done.

"I can't believe they beat you up. What did you even say to them?" He sighed. Loki stayed silent as she watched his hands wipe her forearm then make their way to her neck.

"You're a little bruised up, but you should be fine." He added. Thor's hands finally made their way to her face. He gently dabbed her forehead and cheeks then retracted the cloth. His ocean blue hues lingered on her face. Loki returned the gaze then lowered her head and exhaled forlornly.

"Thor… What did I do to your friends when we were kids to make them hate me so much?" She whimpered. Thor's gaze hadn't been torn from Loki's face; he finally let out a sigh and looked away. He shuffled closer and sat across from her on the bed after setting the bowl and rag on the floor. Thor shook his head as he started to rub his neck and looked towards her once more.

"When we were kids, we'd play a lot of games all the time. And you loved me so I didn't want to hurt your feelings. I let you play with me and Sif, and the others." He started. "But we crossed a line, and you were little so you were confused and told Mother, who told Father. Who told everybody's parents and… It just turned into a big deal." Thor started to explain, she noticed how he started to shake as he did so. Suddenly the memories flooded back into her mind, she knew exactly what the blonde was speaking of now. Loki felt a surge of guilt shiver through her.

"It was the middle of the school year I think. I remember being ten or nine and you were six or seven. I was outside with Sif and you were inside with Mom, and I called you to come outside…" He started to reminisce reluctantly. Loki didn't need him to tell the tale, she already knew. But she let him speak anyways, leaning inward and listening intently.
