One night soon after that, Elsa came home to a broken door-
Her apartment had been broken into.
Her savings weren't under the kitchen sink anymore.
Everything was trashed, she picked up a picture of herself, her sister, her dad and her mom off the floor, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She was scared.
Loki had no idea who the hell would be knocking at this hour, but there was definitely someone knocking.
"All right... All right..." He mumbled sleepily, going to answer the door.
Who he saw was not who he was expecting:
There stood Elsa, trembling with fear, crystal blue eyes wide.
"Elsa... It's midnight... What's going on...?"
"Some jerkwad broke into my house and stole my savings from under the kitchen sink, I'm scared to even be there..."
Loki hugged his friend tightly,
"Shh... Shhh shhh... Come on inside."
"Are you sure this is okay...?" Elsa asked worriedly as Loki tucked her in on the daybed couch. What if his boyfriend shows up or something, Elsa thought.
"It's fine..." He murmured, then he turned and went to the other side of the living room, where a keyboard sat.
Elsa stared in awe as his long slender fingers played the piano, and a beautiful song emerged.
"Who wrote that...?" Elsa said, out of curiosity.
Loki smiled proudly,
"I did."
Elsa was stunned,
"You did?"
"Yeah." Loki said, motioning for her to sit next to him, "I haven't got words for it yet..." He murmured, "so it's not quite ready yet..."
Elsa started humming to the tune of the song,
Then the words came to her, like magic.
"Sweet love...
Sweet love...
Trapped in your love.
I've opened up-
Unsure I can trust.
My heart and I
Were buried in dust
Free me
Free us...
You're all
I need
When I'm holding you tight
If you walk away
I will suffer tonight!
I've found a man I can trust
And boy I believe in us!
I am terrified
To love for the first time!
Don't you see that I'm bound in chains!
I've finally found my way!
I am bound to you!
I am bound to-
Suddenly the moment's here
I embrace my fears
All that I have been carrying
all these years
Do I risk it all?
Come this far just to fall?
Fall
Ohhhh
I can trust
And boy I believe in us!
I am terrified
To love for the first time!
Don't you see that I'm bound in chains!
I've finally found my way!
I am bound to you-
I am
Oh I am
I'm bound to...
You."
Loki stared at Elsa in awe.
This girl had a gift, not just vocally but also with song writing.
"That's really good..." Loki said,
That's an understatement, he thought.
Elsa blushed,
"Oh that... I'm pretty sure anybody could do that... YOU however were amazing with the music..."
He shook his head, the girl was too modest, why the hell did this shy girl want to be a dancer in the burlesque?
Elsa smiled gently, then went back to the daybed,
"Good night." Elsa said sweetly.
"Good night Elsa." Loki said gently.
The next morning it was pouring outside.
Elsa had woken up early to make Loki breakfast, it was the least she could do.
Loki was up by the time she had finished brewing the coffee.
"How do you like your coffee handsome?" Elsa teased,
Despite being still half asleep, the compliment Elsa gave him, teasing or not, sent shivers down his spine, he had no idea why though.
"Black, like my soul." Loki teased right back.
As Elsa reached up to get coffee mugs she noticed a picture on the wall, of Loki and a girl.
"Awww... She's cute! Who is that, your sister?" Elsa said as she sipped her coffee.
"She's my Fiancée, Siff."
At this Elsa spat out her coffee.
"Wait... You're straight?!" She stammered,
"Well yeah, what makes you think I'm not?" Loki said in confusion,
"Well for one you wear more eyeliner than I do-"
"Emma likes it, and it's kinda edgy, stylish for a bartender like myself."
Elsa felt totally awkward by this point, and she figured now was the time to show herself out.
"Look, Loki, it was so nice of you to let me stay the night, but I've gotta go, I mean, if I just clean up the mess in my apartment and if I work extra hours I'll be able to get money for rent to stay there..."
She scrambled for the door, and Loki got up out of his seat.
"Elsa you don't have to-"
"No no no... Clearly I've overstayed my welcome... Now if you'll excuse me..."
And she stepped out the door into the pouring rain, she grimaced, and grabbed a discarded newspaper off the driveway and used it to cover her hair as she walked down the driveway to the bus stop.
Elsa wasn't at the bus stop for two minutes when Loki came out, he shook his head, and sighed.
"Elsa! Come inside!" He called
"No! It's fine!" Elsa yelled back, irritated at his persistence.
"It's pouring!" He insisted.
"OMIGOD IT'S JUST WATER FOR CRISSAKE!" Elsa whined.
"Alright." He muttered, then started off down the driveway.
"What are you-" then Elsa realized what was going on.
"Don't you even! If you even try I'll scream!"
But Loki scooped her up in his arms bridal style anyway.
She started kicking and squirming but he continued on.
Once they were inside he dumped her on the couch.
"Loki! What the hell?!"
"You don't have anywhere to go, and I have a couch, just until you can get off your feet." Loki said sternly, and Elsa sat there, pouting.
"Okay..." She said glumly, "but if your fiancée kills me its on you."
