You tear yourself away from his hold causing Loki to chuckle at your immediate retreat. You stumble as you try to put some space between you two. It didn’t make sense how Loki came to find that truth when many others, others who have known you longer, have yet to figure it out. 

“What are you talking about?” 

“Oh, a good liar buys time,” Loki responds. “A great liar would have already been ready with a response.” 

Loki leans his back against the balcony with a smirk. 

“So?” he asks. “Will you answer my question or do you need more time to come up with a lie?” 

“You’re an ass,” you mutter under your breath. 

“Now that’s not a nice thing to say to your date,” Loki mockingly reprimands. “What would Natasha say about that foul mouth of yours?” 

“You know what?” you stammer out in annoyance. “I’ve changed my mind. I’ll rather go through mindless conversations with Natasha’s bachelors than to spend another second here with you.” 

You don’t make it too far as Loki grabs a hold of your arm. 

“Retreating so easily?” Loki asks. “Now I didn’t peg you as a quitter.” 

“We’ve just met,” you snap at him. “Stop presuming so much about me.” 

“Then I must ask you to do the same with me.” 

Your anger disappears when you hear this from him. You should know better than to judge a book by its cover and yet you had. 

You blatantly used his status without thinking of the connotation it held. 

“I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable before,” you whisper as you turn around to face him. “It wasn’t my intention and I presumed you would be game to help me.” 

“Oh, believe me, I am,” Loki chuckles. “But I detest my tormentous past being brought up so casually.” 

“I was being honest when I said that I wasn’t using you to scare potential suitors away and I had no intention for Jeff to bring up your past,” you confess to him. “Thor told me you have a way with words and well… he called you Silvertongue so it just further proved you would be the best person I could ask to help me right now.”

Loki continues to stare and you can’t help but compare his mannerisms to a curious raven.

“You’re not lying,” Loki states. “You haven’t since we met but that doesn’t mean I trust you.” 

“I mean, you shouldn’t,” you shrug. “I’m a complete stranger to you.” 

“As I am to you,” Loki remarks with a small tilt on his lips. “Are you saying you don’t trust me?” 

“I mean,” you answer with a laugh. “Who in their sane mind would agree to fake dating a stranger for the rest of the night?”   

Loki chuckles and shakes his head.��

“If this is to work, I need you to be completely honest with me,” Loki states. “I may be the God of Lies but I detest being lied to.” 

“Ok…” 

“So, going back to my previous question,” Loki trails off. “How long have you been lying to your friends about your true lineage?” 

You take a deep breath trying to ease yourself from the alarm running through your whole body. 

You still didn’t know how he came to find this out about you, but it didn’t matter at the moment. Loki had asked you a question and you had to offer a response. 

An honest response. 

“Apart from two, since I’ve first made their acquaintance,” you answer. “And technically I’m half-lying to them seeing as I’m half-human.” 

“What are you?” 

“A demigod. Half-human, half-God.” 

“Of Asgardian descent I presume?” 

“Yes,” you nod. “Found that out about a couple of years ago when your brother first came to Earth.”

“How old are you?” 

Foregoing making a joke about how rude it is to ask for a woman’s age, you answer his question.

“By Earth physical standards 24, but 198 in reality.” 

“Your parents?” 

“My mother died when I was 19, while my father is unknown,” you sigh feeling your chest tightening. “Are we done with this interrogation?”

Loki remains silent as he contemplates your question. He doesn’t stare at you this time which is a welcome reprieve, but it sealed him away from you. You didn’t know what he could be thinking or what mood he may have shifted to. 

“That will do for now,” Loki mutters. “We should head inside soon…” 

“Wait,” you interrupt him before he can even take a step towards the doors. “I just have one question for you.” 

“Which is?” he asks impatiently. 

“How did you know?” you ask. “How did you know I wasn’t human?” 

Loki responds by offering his hand for you to take. You look at it hesitantly forcing Loki to explain his intentions.

“I can show you.” 

With that being said, you take his hand. 

It surprisingly feels soft and warm and soon you realize why. There was some kind of energy running through him that seemed to reach for yours. 

“That,” Loki states. “That is how I knew.” 

“What is that?” you ask him as you pull your hand away. The connection is cut, but you can still feel the warmth tingling in your hand. “What did you do?” 

“It’s called seidr,” Loki answers. “Some Asgardians are blessed with the gift of magic so when we first touched, I felt that connection. That is how I knew that you weren’t completely human.” 

“But your brother…” 

“Thor can barely tell the difference between his precious Mjolnir and an actual hammer,” Loki snorts. “Besides, he’s not acutely aware of his surroundings like I am.” 

“Sounds like you’re paranoid.” 

“It’s because I am,” Loki states. “Villain, remember? I have many enemies who wish to see me fail. Many of them are at this party.”

You roll your eyes knowing he was referring to your friends. 

“Am I one of them?” you can’t help but ask. “An enemy?” 

Loki takes his time to respond. 

“Yet to be determined,” he answers before offering his arm for you to take. “Shall we begin our night now?”

Having been outside long enough, you take a deep breath and loop your arm around his allowing Loki to escort you back inside.

11 tag

asked by @kvothe-kingkiller to do these ones!

1) have you ever quit a book, why?

    Yes, I have. I generally try not too, but there are a few that I have quit. Reasons seem pretty logical to me; racist, sexist, or just plain boring and cliche in a bad way [i.e. loved triangles. Ugh....].

2) how do you feel about little diversions from the story? (letters from/to characters, flashbacks etc)

     Considering my fav series right now [kkc] is LITERALLY ALL BACKSTORY I don’t mind it. I enjoy small diversions if they are: plot relevant, written well, and aren’t confusing and thrown in at random. What i hate though is when they chanGE TEH FONT FOR LETTERS A CHARACTER WRITE TAHT AR E IMPOSSIBLE TO R EAD

3) be honest, in a book store, do you judge the book by it’s cover?

    Oh, of course. Which is why when I go on, I usually ask friends to go ahead and like... turn books over so I only see the backs first lmao!!

4) any book youve read that you hated but some of your friends/other people liked? (dont do like, twilight lol)

    Okay but Twilight is so bad-- not because people liked it. The writing was just... atrocious and my mother literally fORCED me to read it [as in she would fucking set times for me to read these god awful books, watch me read to make sure i did, and then force me to watch the movie..... I wish i was fUCKING KIDDING]. Other than that, um, none that I can think of off the top of my head really. I don’t try and associate books with people I know.

5) favorite genre and best introductory book for it?     I really like fantasy books. Like, I don’t really have an interest in reading anything else. A beginning book would probably need to be a more simple one... hm... Maybe Eragon [leAVE MY GAY ASS ALONE ITS SUCH A GOOD SERIES], or books like it. Something with its own realm, but not like LOTR as a first go.

6) if you could meet any author and ask them any one question, who would it be and what question? (enjoy that broad af question lol)

    I’m dying this question is so fuckin huge I can’t pick. At this very second, i’d prolly choose Pat and I’d just... love to chat with him. Not even about the books. I feel like he’s a really cool dude and is super chill when people aren’t being pushy or rude. If it has to be a question about which came first; Kvothe or Kote and did he build the other off of one?

7) have you ever read any book in the past that looking back on it, you were probably too young to read?

     Oh, fuck yeah. Fooooooooor sure. I don’t know how my parents let me read half of what I got my hands on as a kid. Quite a few of them had sex scenes in them [which child me promptly would screech and flip a few pages until it was gone], or extreme gore mentions that left me awake for days.

8) best classic book?

     All Quiet On The Western Front. No argument there. Idk if it’s a classic, but it hasn’t left me in any way possible to this day of me reading it in high school. That or Alice in Wonderland -- if that’s a classic instead.

9) if you had to marry a character who would it be?

    You are a cruel, cruel, c r u e l person asking me this. There are tOO MANY TOO MANY. Keeping it to the KKC realm, Devi or Sim <3

10) have you ever really not liked a book recommended to you by someone who’s your friend?

     Mhm, for sure dude. People have different interests, so obviously I’m not going to like everything someone else likes! I’ve had the reverse happen to me, so, *shrug*

11) have you ever cried at a characters death?

     Only two. I’m not a huge crier and I don’t really cry often, but two really really well written character deaths messed me up oh man. Yeaaaaaars apart, but still.
