Am4444: I really wanted to do these chapters before Christmas I was happy I was able to fit them in on time. Enjoy

Guest: haha I was right on time with my update it would seem. :)

Trigger Moonshield: I am guessing you meant its hard to write an OC. I actually made it easier on myself by creating her entire back story beforehand. I even began to write her and her sisters little epic tale as a separate story. :pit made it easier to remember all the details. Haha. Though depending on my fic her past changing a little.

Poodle warriors: that chapter I kinda imagined what they would be doing every night. They can't just always lay in bed. :p

Next guest: I am glad my their hanging out went over so well.

Hey guys I just wanted to share with you. Myself and a friend of mine are thinking on doing a professional photo shoot involving Cosplay. Myself as Cephera and my friend as Loki. What do you think? We're pretty excited I've never done anything like it before.

Chapter 22: Snow

Loki watched from inside his room as Cephera stood on his balcony in the rain. There was no one to see her up there so she was naked. He watched her with her face titled up and eyes closed. Her arms spread wide inviting the rain down.
He ventured out to join her wrapping his arms around her from behind allowing the rain to touch him as well. He enjoyed holding her this way. His nose buried in her lightly scented hair. "The first time I ever really paid you any notice, you were dancing in the rain like you had never seen such a thing before." She smiled and leaned back to rest against him.
"Before I came to Asgard I hadn't seen rain in 80years. I was 16 and it was my last year I ever spent on earth, or Midgard, whatever you call it." She shrugged. "Last year I noticed it doesn't snow here either. That's something else I haven't seen in a long time."
"Do you miss earth?" He asked her trying his best not to sound bored. Loki still had no real love for the realm.
"Sometimes. Myself and Seraphina used to play in the snow and rain all the time. Or rather I'd play and she'd follow only to make me happy. She's not fun the same way I am. She's very serious. She helped me build a snowman once. He had crooked acorn eyes and rocks for a mouth. Poor thing didn't get a nose." Her laughter at the thought vibrated through her and against him.
Loki remained silent and thought. She rocked lightly in his embrace. "Get dressed." He told her letting her go. "I'm feeling generous." She turned and looked at him a moment before retreating inside and doing as she was told. She put back on the clothes she had worn to class earlier that day. He watched every graceful move she made.
When she was done she turned her eyes to look at him once more. He enjoyed their curious, excited look. It wasn't often he told her to put her clothes back on. He motioned for her to come to him. When she was close enough he transformed from male Loki to his female counterpart. Or as she told Kat, Lola.
It had been a complete accident her naming him that. She had almost said Loki and stuttered out Lola to cover up. She had neglected to tell Loki.
She gave him a disapproving look. "It is necessary for what I am about to do." He told her. She glared but said nothing as she took his offered hand.

Cephera felt the wave of magic as he teleported them both but this time it was different. She felt a bit dizzy when he let her go. She sunk knee deep in soft, cold snow. She whirled around looking about her at the snow covered park she stood in. There was no one there but them.
The park told her immediately they were on earth and she squealed and sunk her hands in the snow. He stood patiently watching her. She threw the snow into the air and jumped around making lots of footprints in the white blanket.
It was cold on her bare legs but she didn't care. It was snow! She allowed herself to fall backward into it and made the first snow angel since she was a teenager. It almost hurt to smile she was smiling so wide and so much. It was nice seeing rain but snow was something else all together.
She sat up and shivered before balling a handful into her chilled hand and tossed it toward Loki. He hadn't expected it. It hit him in the shoulder making him part his red lips in surprise. She could see the bits of snow fall down into his cleavage.
She laughed and threw another. This time be caught it crushing it into nothing. She didn't mind. She didn't expect him to enjoy it the way she did. She ran, half slipping in the snow, to the swings. She sat down and pushed. The swing made a whining squeaking nose in protest but moved all the same.
"So why the lady Loki?" She asked going higher.
"There are people here who would not be pleased to see me here. They have eyes everywhere. I do not wish to cause trouble when I am merely indulging your whimsical fancy." He explained. His green eyes never left her as she soared up and back. Finally she jumped out of the swing landing back into the cold snow.
"The cold doesn't bother you?" She ran to him and put her hands to his face. His face was still warm.
"There are still things you have yet to learn about me. But no, the cold does not bother me." He placed a hand over hers and bent forward but she stopped him.
"We discussed this." She warned. She knew it was him inside there but Lady Loki just didn't do it for her. She liked manly Loki and his not so girlie kisses. "What's the date here?"
"December 24."
"Tomorrow is Christmas! Do you know what that is?"
"I am aware of Midgards customs to an extent. We do not have such things in Asgard." He told her frowning. This was one thing he did not plan to start with her and she knew it.
"Would I be permitted one gift to you tomorrow. Christmas was always special to me. I'd like to give you something." She watched him think it over a moment.
"Just this one time for this holiday." He told her and offered his hand to her again. "Are you ready to go?" she nodded shivering for head to toe. The one downside to snow, the cold. He teleported them back to Asgard and once in his room he lost the vision of his female self and was once again her Loki.
She threw her arms around him and kissed him before he made a move. He kissed her back fiercely before she pulled away to looked into his eyes. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." He picked her up and placed her in bed using his magic to dry her wet clothes. He had already had his play time with her tonight and seemed he didn't plan to have another.
