"THOR!" Came a scream from the other side of the common area. We both jumped at the sound and found that it was Loki. "Brother! Why must you betray me!" Thor stood from the couch and walked around it to own up to what he had done. "Why would you tell her?! She is already frightened of me and living here. Now she knows that I watched her for over three years! That is just weird!" Loki looked over to me and I hid my head.

"Heimdall must have showed Loki our conversation." I thought to myself. I cowered behind the back to the couch. "Even though Loki has been released, it doesn't mean that his old ways will stay away forever." I slowly brought myself back up to see what was going on.

There was a few feet between Loki and Thor. Loki had his hands in fists ready to kill, and Thor was in a worried stance. "Brother, she has a right to know."

"I know she does!" Loki said and shook his head. He turned away from Thor and kicked a stand holding a vase to the floor. "But I wanted to be the one to tell her... I wanted her to get comfortable here and not stress her out." My breathing pace quickened and so did my heart beat. It felt like all of the walls were closing in around me. "And she can get stressed easily." Loki whispered to Thor.

"I felt bad for the mortal, so I told her." Thor said as he crossed his arms. "She isn't patient enough to wait to find out later."

"That's true." I whispered to myself.

Both Loki and Thor stopped giving each other menacing looks and turned their heads towards me. I rubbed my lips back and forth in a nervous way behind the couch and away from sight. When Loki looked at me, he had the saddest expression on his face... as if all his hopes and dreams had been crushed. Loki sighed with his back facing Thor. "What's done is done." Loki said then walked out of the common room.

Thor stomped out of the common room and left, what seemed to be a new hallway to the castle. It almost reminded me of this being Loki's own home sized apartment in a humongous castle.

In a way I had felt betrayed, that the past three years of my life I was being watched. I wasn't being watched every single seconds, but at any moment I could have been stared down from light-years away. Sometimes it was uncomfortable to eat in a school cafeteria on an insecure day, wondering if someone was judging me by the way I ate. Yet on the other hand there had been a few unexplained things that had happened in the last few months. Sometimes Mom would yell at me to clean my room, I'd walk upstairs to find that everything was in place where it should have been. Another time I had done a grocery run, Dad was at work, Mom wasn't feeling good. I realized that I had only grabbed my keys and left my whole purse (including my wallet) at home. I realized this once I had a full shopping cart. As I was about to leave the store I found a $100 bill. I picked it up full of glee and didn't think that would cover the whole bill, pricing on food had gone up. I went to push open the door. Where my hand touched, there was a slight crunch. There was another $100 bill. Even though I had been watched all that time, which was unnerving and disgusting, I still had a slight warm feeling inside. A bit of the anxiety floated away.

I got up off of the couch and approached Loki in the next room. The kitchen was furnished with so many different pieces of equipment, most of it I didn't know what its purpose was.

Loki was leaning on the counter near the sink with his hands covering his face. I put a hand on his back, just as the way he had done to me. He moved his head to his left hand and raked his messy hair with his right. He turned his head and looked at me. "I'm so sorry you had to find out so soon."  He whispered to me. "I know you must feel very uncomfortable right now, but that was the last resort for them..." Loki was babbling. I realized that I had indirectly made him embarrassed and ashamed of himself. "I mean, I wouldn't want someone to watch me... All of the others Heimdall showed before you were so rude and obnoxious. But you were sweet and caring to most, unless they crossed your path, which is understandable." My mind trailed back to that one girl I hated in high school. Man, she was a pain in my rump! "... But now you know why I did all of that, in New York."

I tried to breath quietly because I was breathing faster. What was I to say to my stalker/protector? "I'm sorry all of this happened to you." I whispered to him and tried to comfort him. I wasn't doing as good of a job as he did the night before when I was in my distorted state.

"There you go." Loki said and motioned with his hand in the air. "Being so kind and understanding. I don't know how you do it." Loki mumbled. "When I was under the influence of the scepter, I thought Thor had been a bumbling imbecile for falling in love with a Misguardian..." I took my hand off of his back. In the past three years he had gotten to know every aspect of me, every secret. How could someone from another planet fall for plain ol' me? "I wanted to visit you and somehow thank you for all you had done for me, but I couldn't visit Earth." Loki seemed like he was ripping apart at the seams, talking about different things, but they all connect to one higher topic. " But last night..." He started to shake. "When I was with Heimdall, he saw the car swerving before you even did through the rain. 'Save her' was the only thing I could say. Now you know the rest." He folded his hands together and put them by his face, just touching his lips. Then he lowered his head and his folded hands were on his for head, almost like he was praying. "I couldn't let the person who saved me from the brink of despair die."

The whole time Loki was having his break down, it nearly brought me to tears. "Thank you." I whispered.

Loki stood straight up from leaning and held my face. His eyes were a bright pink, he had been hiding his tears from me. How could one person handle all of this suffering in one lifetime? Then again, Asguardians live so much longer than I ever would. There would be a lot more suffering for him to come.

My hands raised my face and held his. He was never a monster, or a fallen angel, he was an angel that was dragged through all of the horrors of Dante's Inferno and somehow managed to come back full steam. Loki leaned down closer to me, and another knot formed in my stomach. But I was curious, I let him pull me closer and kiss me. He treated me tenderly, like I could easily be destroyed like tissue paper. His lips were soft and warm, I didn't want them too far from mine. His arms circled around me and held me closer, and I moved my hands to both sides of his face. "I never thought I would never be able to see you outside of Heimdall's sight." He kissed my for head and held me closely. I remained silent, figuring it would be best for Loki to soak in every moment of this. I grabbed what looked to be the top of his battle uniform and yanked his lips back down to mine. I wanted more, and I wasn't exactly sure why. Loki was surprised, but returned the kiss.

"Brother, I am so-" Loki and I both froze when we heard a another voice. I turned my head as far as it could to see Thor standing in the doorway of the kitchen smiling and shaking his head. "Well, you two seem to be getting along pretty well."

I'm doing this for fun, as a reminder, I don't own these characters.

Quick warning to my readers. The next part of this story might be mature for a dark theme. I don't want anyone to be confused, but I will not ruin what lies ahead.
