So many reviews! I so happy. *.*
Loki closed the phone immediately after the line went dead. He checked his watch and sighed. It was late, and he wasn't sure if she was still up. He weighed the options for a moment before snatching his car keys and heading out the door, slamming the door behind him.
He hurried across the parking lot and slid into the driver's seat of his sleek black Ford Leo and turned the key. Slamming on the gas he tore away and in route to Fairy's House for Damaged Teens, tapping the wheel anxiously as he went.
He pulled up not long after and all but jumped from the car. He stalked up the walkway and only turned to lock his car, more as an afterthought than anything else. "I'm here to see my sister." He called to the green-haired woman behind the desk. SHe nodded and pressed a button.
"She's in her room, sir." She said in her characteristic drawl. "But I can let you in to see her." She smiled and handed him the visitor's badge neseccary to proceede. He took it eagerly and pinned it to his shirt, departing once the task was done.
He continued his brisk pace as he stormed down the hallway. He knew the way to his sister's room and for a moment that was all he could think of. Before he knew it the door was upon him and opened in no time. The light was off and a form was visible under the covers. He stepped to the bed and studied it for a moment. Lucy sure did sleep funny.
A tuft of blonde was visible on the pillow and upon further examination... pink.
Loke felt his eyebrow raise and before he could think otherwise the blanket was pulled away. There lay his dear, darling, little sister... with a man he had never seen before.
The boy's arms were around her waist and his head was against her chest. Lucy's arms wound around his back and her body bent around his head, cradling it gently. Both were blissfully oblivious to the steaming redhead of an older brother now standing over them. He fought back the urge to beat this unknown man senseless, but then again if Lucy was fine with him holding her like this then he shouldn't be over reacting like this... ah, screw it.
"Lucy!" Loki screamed as he began shaking her shoulders violently in an attempt to wake her. "Lucy-chan!? Darling little sister!? Wake the hell up already!" He continued to raging rattling and shouting of random rambles until Lucy lashed out a quick hand, quite hard he might add.
"Shut the hell up and go away," She mumbled as she snuggled farther into the mattress, effectively bringing the boy further into her chest. "I'm sleeping." Loki stood, dumbfounded, for all of a minute before he regainede control of his shock ridden body and hesitantly held a hand to his throbbing and swollen cheek. He winced at the touch and it took only a moment for him to finally put two and two together.
Lucy had struck his face. Lucy had deformed beautiful, beautiful face.
And she would pay.
Grinning maliciously he began to dart his fingers over his sides, paying special attention to the tickle spots he remembered from childhood. Almost immediately she erupted in frrantic giggles, thrashing from his touch and effectively knocking the unknown pink headed boy on to his bottom. He cried out upon impact and stood quickly, rubbing the pain from his bottom.
"Lucy," He mumbled drowsily. "What was that for?" His eyes roamed lazily around the room and Loki took this moment to notice his milky onyx eyes. So this man was blind? Could this be Natsu?
Oops.
Lucy took this pause as an opening to attack Loki to the ground. "So, you thought tickling me was a good idea, hm?" She said sickly sweet. "It appears my dear older brother has forgotten how this game usually ended."
Loki gulped. The results of the Great Tickle War of x775 suddenly flashed in mind... he really didn't want to spend another month in the hospital, and the property damage was truly horrifying. If he remembered correctly the took out the entire east wing of the mansion.
"Now, now, Lucy." He tried to reconsile, he could feel the sweat dampening his collar. "What would you do if you saw you dear, sweet, hopefully still innocent little sister clutching a man you don't know and have never met in a very compromising manner? I was just..." His struggle to come up with the proper words ended as Lucy once again began laughing, falling on his chest as she did so, her arms being used instead to clutch her stomach.
"Oh, Loki." She said after a moment, rolling herself onto her back to lay beside him. "You're too much! Like Natsu even understands how to do anything you're thinking he might do." This brought another round of laughter and Loki cast the giggling blonde a look one would reserve for an alien species and jumped to his feet.
The man he now knew as Natsu stood akwardly by the bed, not able to see as the blonde's laughter filled his ears. Loki stuck his hand out, "My name's Loki, Natsu." He introduced, guiding Natsu's hand to his for a handshake. "I'm Lucy's older brother. She's spoken of you often, sorry for not recognising you."
Natsu returned the handshake with a smile. "Nice to meet you, too." He answered. "And it's okay. I'd feel the same way if I caught my little sister in a similar situation... Of course, I don't have one... But Wendy's like a little sister, so I guess I could count her." This made Loki laugh and pat Natsu on the shoulder.
"Just take care of my little Princess, Natsu." Loki finished. Natsu nodded eagerly and Loki noted this with a small amout of appretiaton. Lucy deserved a good man, and Loki could tell this pink haired dragon would protect the little princess perfectly.
Finished with her laughter, Lucy sat up criss-cross applesauce, "Why're you here, anyway, Loki?" She asked. Loki turned his attention to her and felt Natsu do the same, even though he couldn't see her.
"Oh," He said after a moment of thought. "I almost forgot." His face turned serious as he continued, "Lucy, we need to talk." Lucy cocked her head and nodded for him to continue.
"About dad."
