Author's Note: This is kinda just a sweet little chapter. Hopefully it doesn't suck!

Ayy Kaim: Yeah, I should. I have no idea what to do with the students. I've been mostly focusing on their personal lives a bit more than their school lives. I just feel kinda lost with this right now. But maybe when they get back to the school, I'll have more student-teacher interactions. Do you mind if I use that Loki confrontation you put in your review?

8. Camping Trip – Part Three

Thor woke up with a yawn. Usually, someone would have to come and wake him up, but today, Thor Odinson was feeling refreshed and ready to go. He stepped out of bed and changed into her exercise clothes. It was around the time he would go for his morning run. Of course, it just had to be at 5 in the morning and Thor was the clumsiest out of the group. He woke up Clint and almost woke up Loki and Natasha.

"Thor, shut up and go to sleep." Clint mumbled before falling back onto the pillow, already asleep.

"Sorry." Thor whispered as he went down the stairs and outside. His run was usually filled with deep thoughts. Everyone had the idea of Thor being slightly less smart, but Thor actually knew what was going on. Everyone just didn't pay too much attention to the deeper side of the exercising jock. He knew about Loki's crush on Natasha and that he was giving her the roses, Thor just chose not to say anything. But occasionally, he would blurt out what he had noticed, which sometimes made things awkward.

On his run, Thor would think. Today, he thought about Loki and Natasha. They did seem like quite a cute couple. They just needed a little push. Thor spent the rest of his run forming his plan.

After breakfast, Thor was going to be going with the tree-climbing group today. Kurt Wagner, the first to climb, showed his excellent ability as he scaled up the tree in only a short minute.

"Good job!" Thor gave him a pat on the back as Kurt came back down.

"Thanks. I really like climbing. I could stay up there for days." Kurt smiled before he handed his helmet to the next person and walked off.

Seeing as no one was watching him, Thor snuck off to the beach, where he knew Loki was canoeing. Loki was not very good at swimming, but he was supposed be part of the group. Thor looked around; Natasha was also close by the beach, walking to the dock for orientation. Orientation was mostly directions.

Picking a medium-sized rock, Thor aimed for his brother's arm, which would be just enough to knock him out of the canoe and it wouldn't cause him too much damage. The rock zoomed through the air and hit Loki on the arm, knocking him off. The counselor was off in the washroom, so Natasha was the only one who could save him.

Hurry Natasha. Save Loki already! Thor thought.

Loki splashed around like a fish out of water. Natasha turned her head to the commotion and saw that Loki was drowning. Without thinking about her clothes or anything, she dove into the water. Grabbing Loki from under his arms, Natasha pulled him to shore.

"Loki, wake up!" She shook him, but he didn't stir.

Thor was getting worried. He didn't mean to Loki to be dying. He was just trying to help. Freaking out, Thor ran up to Natasha, who was close to tears. She took a deep breath and pressed on Loki's chest a few times to try and get the water out. Natasha did CPR a few times, but Loki was still not moving.

"Loki…you can't die! You promised! We were going to go to the movies and hang out and act out Romeo and Juliet again! You're not supposed to die." Natasha was sobbing into Loki's chest now, fisting his shirt in her hands.

Thor didn't know what to do. He had killed his own brother, after trying to help him with Natasha. It was his entire fault. Thor felt like throwing up and the guilt was eating away at him.

A weak cough directed Thor's attention to Loki.

"Natasha…" Loki was alive! Natasha looked up, tears streaking her face.

"Don't you ever do that again!" Natasha hugged Loki tightly.

"I won't. I won't ever leave you again." Loki said weakly. Finally, the counselor finally came up and brought Loki to the camp's sick bay. Thor felt relieved. His little brother was okay.

Natasha stayed by Loki's side the entire time. Every time Loki stirred, Natasha would grasp his hand to show that she was still there. Loki was fine; the nurse had said that he just swallowed some water and that he would be okay by tomorrow.

It was around 6. Natasha had reassured Thor that she would stay by Loki's side and that he could go for dinner. Thor promised to bring her back some food. After Natasha had eaten, she was very tired, so she fell asleep by Loki's side.

Loki woke up and felt a hand holding tightly onto his. A mess of red hair was by his side. Loki stroked her hair with his free hand. She had saved him. Another reason to make Loki love Natasha.

Natasha stirred and looked up. Seeing Loki awake, her tired face brightened.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" Loki apologized.

"I'm okay; just really glad you're okay." Natasha smiled.

"I remember a certain redhead telling me that we were going to the movies and hang out and act out Romeo and Juliet." Loki smirked.

Natasha blushed; she didn't realize that Loki had heard all that.

"I also remember a pair of soft lips on mine."

"Did they feel like this?" Natasha leaned in closer and pressed her lips to Loki's. He kissed back softly, feeling the slight strawberry taste of Natasha's lips.

"I love you." He whispered, pressing his forehead to hers.

"I love you too."

In the end, Natasha had snuggled into the warm bed with Loki and the next morning, when their friends came to get them, everyone was grinning. Natasha had curled up against Loki; her head in the crook of his neck and Loki's arms were wrapped around her protectively, like a child would a teddy bear. It was the cutest thing ever. Thor smiled, his plan might have been a bit flawed, but in the end, Loki had Natasha.

Author's Note: Was it sweet? I thought so. I have no idea how CPR really works. I only know it as chest compressions and breathing into the other person. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me!
