"Aren't you exaggerating? I would marry you any day."
Yui's eyes widened and she quickly removed her hand. "Loki-san! Don't even joke about that!"
"Hehe, you got happy." Loki stated.
"Wha-? No, I didn't!"
"Yes, you did. It's written all over your face."
"Loki-san, stop teasing me!" She cried out and let her body fall down onto the bed so that she was now lying on her back.
"Loki."
Yui lifted her head from the bed. "Hah?"
"Call me Loki. Just Loki."
She looked at him for a moment and then let her head fall back down. She closed her eyes and tried saying it. "... Loki…" When she heard footsteps coming towards her she could sense what was about to happen and she quickly sat up again to avoid it. But too late. The last thing she saw before she found herself on her back again was Loki's grinning face and his mouth saying, "Let's make out!" He put his entire weight on her and started kissing her neck, quickly working his way up.
"Loki, I told you not to try anything!"
Now:
Yui was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom after a more or less intense make out session. She was feeling embarrassed, when Loki had started kissing her she had shouted at him but it didn't take long before she got really into it and kissed him back. Loki had, surprisingly, asked her what was alright and what wasn't and had only touched her where she had allowed him to. Yui had even surprised herself by letting him touch her so intimately. He had for instance caressed the sides of her stomach and even gotten a handful of her chest without any protests from her. She had been so caught up in the moment she only now realised what they actually had been doing and wondered what would have happened if they had continued. Now she was in the bathroom, taking off her dress as Loki waited for her in the bed.
Standing only in her bra and panties she hesitated a little. 'Is this really alright? It's not like anything else is going to happen. We're just going to sleep, that's all… Skin to… skin…' She thought nervously. She shook her head and grabbed the door handle 'I'm thinking too much!' and opened the door.
"Hello!" Loki grinned.
"Waaaaah!" Yui screamed in surprise as she fell backwards and landed on her butt on the cold floor.
Loki had been standing right outside the door, waiting for her so he could scare the hell out of her. He obviously succeeded. "Sorry, there's no way I'm going to stop doing this just because we're together now, Kitten!" He laughed. "You're stuck with a very troublesome god, you better be prepa- ah…" No more words came out after he noticed the surprised and adorable expression on Yui's face. She looked so vulnerable and cute the way she was sitting on the floor, looking at him with those big eyes and with barely any clothes on her body.
He thought she looked hot. Big words, considering he was the god of fire.
"Y-You're staring, Loki…" Yui whispered, covering her body the best she could with her arms. She would have shouted at him for scaring her like that but when she saw the way he was looking at her she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Ah, um, sorry." He replied and tried to look away.
"Help me up?"
Loki immediately offered his hand and pulled her up. But when he did, Yui's body came in contact with his. She tried to take a step back to give him space but he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her towards him again. "Damn, you're cute…" Loki smirked as he held her close.
It was in that moment Yui realised Loki wasn't exactly wearing any clothes either, only a pair of black underpants. He was pretty muscular, too, making it very hard for her not to blush. She could clearly feel his muscles against her skin.
Loki then took a step away, grabbed her hand and started pulling her towards the bed. "Let's snuggle."
"Ah, um-!"
When Yui woke up the next morning Loki was holding her from behind and had his head buried in her hair. Nothing special had happened before they went to bed yesterday, just a few kisses and… perhaps some touching as well but nothing beyond that! She didn't move for several minutes, not wanting to wake him up, but he soon did because the servant who was sent to go get them started knocking on the door, telling them they should get ready because it was almost time to leave. "We're going to get ready right away!" Yui called as she prepared to get out of bed.
"No." Loki said and pulled her back down again.
"Loki, we need to go, we don't have time for this!" When she managed to break free she grabbed the dress hanging on the chair and disappeared inside the bathroom. "You better be ready once I get out of here!" She called through the door.
Loki just sighed and sat up. He would much rather stay in bed, snuggling with the human he fell for without realising it. He slowly got out of the comfortable bed and walked over to where his clothes were and dressed himself. He could hear Yui moving around in the bathroom and grinned to himself, sat down on the chair and waited for her to open the door. This was going to be fun.
A moment later Yui opened the door and closed it behind her. She smiled when she noticed Loki had actually listened to her. "I didn't think you would listen to me."
"I listen when I want to." Loki joked and reached for something in his pocket. "Come over here for a second."
Yui raised an eyebrow, sensing he was up to something, and walked slowly towards him.
Loki stood up from his chair once she was close enough and held out his hand towards her. Yui stopped immediately and stared at his hand in fear.
In his hand was the biggest cockroach she had ever seen! It wasn't real of course, it was something Loki had created with magic, but Yui didn't know that and it looked like it was actually alive since it was moving in his hand. "Look at this little guy." Loki grinned.
Yui took a step back. "T-T-Take it away!"
"Why? You afraid?" Loki asked and started walking towards her.
"Loki! No!"
"Come on, give him a hug." Loki laughed.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Yui screamed and started running.
Apollon, Balder, Sif, Thor and Tsukito were walking together down the hall, heading for the throne room. "This is going to be fun! I can't wait! Can't wait!" Apollon laughed.
"It's going to be a good experience." Tsukito agreed.
"Hey, do you guys hear something?" Sif asked. When they rounded a corner they saw a servant standing outside a guest room but they couldn't even ask him who was staying in there before the door suddenly flew open and the servant had to jump to the side to avoid it. They watched in surprise and confusion as Yui ran out of the room, screaming, with a laughing Loki close behind.
"Don't, Loki!" Was what they heard Yui scream before the two disappeared down the hall.
They continued to stare for a few seconds before they started running after them, leaving a confused servant behind. "Fairy!" "Loki, what are you doing to Yui-san! ?" "Kusanagi Yui doesn't seem happy." "Loki, stop scaring Yui!" "He will never learn…"
Meanwhile, Yui was running for her life, too scared to realise she just passed Freyr and Freyja. "Huh? Yui-chan?" "What's wrong, Kusanagi?" The siblings asked, right before Loki passed them as well. "What was that in his hand?" Freyr asked. "After them!" His sister exclaimed.
In the throne room Hades, Takeru, Dionysus, Hoenir, Tyr, Vidar and Bragi were waiting for the others to show up. "You think Yui-sama made the right choice?" Hoenir asked, grinning.
"If it's what she wants then yes, she made the right choice." Hades answered.
"You said you only saw them together by a room, how can you be sure?" Takeru asked.
"She invited him to stay with her, believe me, something happened between them yesterday. They both disappeared on the way to the guest rooms, remember?" Hoenir pointed out.
"Yui-san is a good person, I hope Loki will treat her right." Vidar said.
"Loki obviously loves her, he's not going to hurt her." Dionysus told him.
"True, but I don't believe he's going to change, once a prankster, always a prankster." Tyr said with his eyes closed and arms crossed.
"I must agree with Dionysus." Bragi said. "He's going to take good care of her."
"Don't you dare, Loki!"
The sound of Yui's voice in the distance made them turn towards the open door and not many seconds passed before Yui ran through the doorway at a very high speed. "What the-? Slow down, Weed!" Takeru called as she got closer. It didn't seem like she heard him and just continued to run towards them. But before she could collide with any of them she made a rapid turn around them and stopped running once she was hidden behind Hades. She was breathing heavily as she was trying to speak. "Just… this once… Can I… use you as… a shield…?"
"Hah?" Takeru uttered.
"Are you in trouble, Kusanagi-san?" Dionysus asked, confused.
"Found out one of her weaknesses!" Loki called proudly from the doorway. He was smirking and still had the big cockroach in his hand.
Freyr and Freyja ran up to him from behind, close followed by Apollon, Sif, Balder, Thor and Tsukito. "Fairy, are you alright?" Apollon called.
"What did you do this time, Loki?" Balder asked right before he stumbled on his feet and fell to the floor.
"What did you do to my little flower! ?" Freyja shouted.
"I haven't done anything… yet." Loki said in defense.
Balder pulled himself up from the floor. "It's obvious you did something, what is that in your hand?"
"Oh, this little guy?" Loki asked innocently. "I just chased her around with him, that's all."
"Loki!" Everyone but Yui shouted.
"Relax, it's not even real." Loki explained and the cockroach went up in smoke a second later.
When Yui saw this she sighed deeply and moved away from Hades. "It wasn't real?"
"You thought it was?" Loki asked, grinning at her.
"I didn't exactly have the time to figure out it wasn't real."
"Because you started running the moment you saw it."
"Of course I ran, almost any human woman would run if they saw a giant cockroach like that!"
"Are human women really that scared of insects?" Freyr asked.
"I'd say most women, yes." Yui answered him.
"I had no idea!" Apollon exclaimed. "Why is that?"
"Honestly, I have no idea…" Yui sighed. "It's just, sometimes the smallest things can be the most scary."
"Aaanyywaay…" Loki smirked and walked up to Yui. "Even if I'm impressed how you were even able to run so fast in a long dress like that, you looked pretty sexy when you did."
Yui just stared at him with wide eyes.
"Too bad it covers your legs, though. What you showed me yesterday was really something."
The room got very quiet as everyone looked at the smirking Loki and a red Yui. "Ha! So something really did happen between you two!" Hoenir suddenly exclaimed.
"Hoenir!" Freyja, Sif, Hades and Balder shouted.
"Show some respect. Kusanagi-san's already embarrassed, the last thing she needs is you shouting out stuff like that." Dionysus pointed out.
"Poor Yui-san, Loki is going to be the end of her…" Tyr sighed.
"Hey!" Loki shouted.
Takeru rubbed his head. "I guess Weed is going to need us to protect her from Loki now more than ever."
"You can count on us, Fairy!" Apollon smiled widely and gave her thumbs up.
Yui looked at her friends in confusion. Did they all understand that things between her and Loki had changed?
It's alright, Yui-chan." Freyja smiled as she placed a hand on her shoulder. "We all knew this day would come."
"We're not going to ask what you and Loki did yesterday but it seems that the two of you are even closer now." Sif added.
"But you better watch out, Loki. One wrong move and we'll steal her away from you." Balder warned his friend teasingly.
"Hell yeah!" Takeru agreed.
"Hold on!" Loki shouted. "We haven't even said we're together yet!"
"You didn't have to." Tsukito told him.
"Whatever it was Yui showed you yesterday, she wouldn't have done it if you hadn't taken your relationship to the next level. You're not the only one who knows what kind of a person she is you know." Sif said proudly.
"Are you saying we're wrong?" Hades asked Loki.
Loki got quiet but soon turned his head and looked Yui straight in the eye. "No."
His answer made Yui smile but it soon disappeared when Hoenir grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him. "That's too bad, I was really looking forward to get to know you better, Yui-sama."
"Hands off!" Freyja, Freyr, Takeru, Balder and Tyr exclaimed.
Hoenir just continued to smirk down at the surprised human, ignoring the others, when Loki suddenly took Yui's hand and pulled her back to him. "Don't touch what's mine, you cockroach. I'll burn you alive."
"Now that's a face you don't see everyday!" Hoenir laughed. "Relax, I'm just fooling around with her."
"The only one who gets to fool around with her is me!" Loki hissed, making Yui blush and the others sigh.
Balder closed his eyes. "You just had to say it, Loki…"
"He'll never stop embarrassing her…" Dionysus added.
"Yeah…" Thor agreed.
"Can we steal her away now?" Takeru asked.
"You're all here, good."
Everyone turned to where the voice was coming from and saw Odin coming through the doorway, followed by Zeus.
"We heard from a servant Loki was causing trouble for you, Kusanagi." Zeus informed.
"Again." Odin added.
"Ah, well, don't worry about it." Yui sweat dropped.
"No surprise you would say that. Are you all ready to leave?" Zeus asked.
"Of course." Bragi answered.
"Then let's not waste time."
When everyone opened their eyes the first thing they saw was the house Yui stayed in when she first came here. The only difference was that there were many more houses surrounding it now. Yui smiled in excitement and started walking towards them. "Aahh, it feels great to be back!"
"Ah! Wait for us, Yui-san!" Balder called as he and the others ran after her towards the houses. They had all changed into human forms because they believed it would be more fun that way. If they had stayed in their god forms everything would be too easy to do and they actually wanted a challenge for once.
"Can you blame her for being excited? She gets to see all the things she came up with." Dionysus pointed out.
"Yuuuuiiii~" Loki smiled as he ran past the others. "Let's go parasailing first!"
"You remembered that, Loki?" Yui asked.
"Oh, I remember as well!" Dionysus exclaimed. "I want to drive the boat!"
"I want to drive as well." Tsukito added.
"Not a good idea." Hades and Takeru said in unison.
They all hurried to the beach where they found a net in the sand where they could play volleyball, surfboards and a boat. "Thor, I want to try parasailing! Do it with me!" Sif begged.
"Alright." He answered her without hesitation.
"Yes! Come on Tsukito-san, let's drive the boat together!" Dionysus said in excitement and dragged Tsukito towards the boat.
"On second thought…" Thor said but it was too late to escape because Sif grabbed his arm before he could and followed the other two to the water.
It didn't take long before Sif and Thor were high in the air and Tsukito and Dionysus were driving the boat veeeery fast and carelessly. Thor looked kind of pale, you could even see it from the ground. Sif looked like she was having fun, though. "Hahaha, faster guys!" She laughed. Back on the ground the others were watching their friends fool around, torturing the poor thunder god. "Faster it is then!" They could hear Dionysus respond. "Speed up, Tsukito-san!"
Tsukito did as he was told. "Speeding up."
"Poor, Thor-san." Yui giggled.
"Haha, I want to try one of these!" Apollon laughed as he grabbed one of the surfboards.
"Do you know how to use it?" Takeru asked.
"No." Apollon answered honestly. "But I'm going to learn!"
"But you're not dressed for the ocean." Hades pointed out.
"None of us are." Balder added.
Oh, I forgot to tell you." Bragi said and showed them a brown bag he was holding in his hand. "Odin gave me this before we left. He told me to use these while we're on the beach." He put the bag in the sand and opened it. Inside they found swimming trunks and bikinis.
"Awesome!" Loki laughed and grabbed a purple pair.
"I love this color!" Freyja smiled, holding a light pink bikini in her hands.
Yui found a light blue one she liked and picked it up from the bag. Not long after, Loki grabbed her hand and started pulling her away from the others. "Let's go change, Kitten!"
"Hah? ! Together! ?" She exclaimed.
"Of course, it's not like I haven't seen you before!"
"H-Hey, what do you think you're doing, Loki! ?" Takeru shouted after them.
"I can accept your relationship with her but this I can not!" Freyja added and ran after them.
"Time to protect Yui-san's body!" Balder shouted as he too started running.
"Alright then!" Freyr agreed and followed after Balder.
"Looks like we're getting an audience!" Loki laughed.
"W-What! ? No! Please don't come over here!" Yui cried out.
"Poor Yui-san…" Vidar sighed.
"How is she going to survive those guys?" Tyr asked quietly.
"She's a strong one, she'll be alright." Bragi told the two younger gods and picked up a dark blue pair. "I wonder if these will fit me."
"She's our Fairy after all. The best!" Apollon smiled widely. He had somehow already changed and was on his way to the ocean with the surfboard. "Join me when you're ready!"
"He's a fast one." Tyr pointed out.
"Freyja-san, help me!" They could hear Yui exclaim further away.
"Don't worry, Yui-chan! I'll keep these perverts away!"
"You are the pervert here, sis!" Freyr shouted.
"Poor girl…" Tyr, Vidar and Bragi said in unison.
Finally, when everyone had managed to change, even if it took longer than it should have, they split up to try the three different activities. Dionysus and Tsukito stayed on the boat while Takeru and Freyr took Thor and Sif's places. Thor and Sif then went to play volleyball with Hades, Bragi, Freyja and Hoenir. Loki, Yui, Tyr, Vidar and Balder took the surfboards and joined Apollon in the water. "Sooo, does anyone know how to surf?" Tyr asked. They were all sitting on the surfboards, floating in a circle.
They looked at each other before they turned to look at Yui, hoping she could explain. "Um, I guess we should wait for a big wave and then try to catch it."
"Catch it?" They asked in unison.
"Have you done this before, Fairy?" Apollon asked.
"A few times, I'm not that good, though." Yui answered. Then, in the corner of her eye she spotted a pretty big wave heading for them. "Ah, here it comes! I'll try to catch it!" She informed and laid down on the surfboard and used her arms to paddle towards it.
The others watched as she swam away from them. "Hey, Loki, where do you think you're looking?" Balder warned his friend. Loki was obviously staring at Yui's butt.
When Yui was close enough she turned around and felt the wave lift her higher. She then stood up and tried to balance on the surfboard. It actually went pretty well, she managed to catch the wave, didn't fall and let it take her further and further away before she successfully turned around and surfed back to the others before the wave disappeared. It didn't take her all the way back to them so she had to paddle the rest of the way. "That was so cool, Yui-san!" Balder praised.
"You were really good!" Apollon agreed.
"Thanks, I didn't think I would make it without falling." Yui smiled, satisfied she was able to show them how to surf.
"I want to try, I wanna try it next!" Apollon laughed and used the same technique Yui had to paddle.
"You think you can do it?" Tyr called after him.
"I'm going to do my best!"
A moment later, everyone looked a little pale as they watched Apollon try to catch a wave. He just kept falling off the surfboard. "Can we help him in any way?" Vidar asked, feeling bad for the sun god.
"Let him be." Loki laughed. "It's more fun watching him fail."
"Loki…" Yui and Balder sighed.
