The Feast - thor love comedy originalcharacter loki asgard - main story image

A A A A

A few days passed, and it was only a week now until the feast. Loki knew that his parents (more like his mother) were expecting him to attend the feast with Azure. Everything his mother did told him that she fancied her. But why bother Loki about it? Why not indirectly tell Thor to marry her? 
 
Because he's an oaf, and she deserves better.
 
Loki closed his eyes and took a breath. He had been raised to be a gentleman, and he tried his best to be. Though, his reputation as a trickster and liar precedes him. I guess that's what happens when you try to have a little fun around the palace. 
 
He took a few steps around his room and thought about it. "A gentleman." He spoke into the empty room. "Perhaps, that will prove promising." He kept thinking of ways to convince Azure to go to the feast with him. Perhaps being a gentleman to her will work. He shook his head. "No, of course not. She will think I'm trying to play a prank on her. She won't take me seriously." He got rid of that idea. He paced around his room a bit more before coming up with another idea. "A prank..." The corners of his lips rose into a devious smile. He immediately left his room, heading towards Azure's chambers. 
 
Loki reached Azure's room and paused right in front of her doors. He had a strange feeling twirl around inside of him. He knew the feeling, but hasn't felt it in a long time. Was he nervous? No, what was there to be nervous about? Loki shook the feeling from his mind and knocked on her door. A few moments passed before the door was opened. "Loki." Azure greeted. "What do I owe the honor of your visit? Have you come to seek your revenge?" She joked around.
 
Loki had a collected and shrewd smile. "Yes, actually." He replied simply.
 
Azure was taken back by his reply, but quickly regained her composure. "Would you like to come in?" She stepped aside and opened the door wider. Loki strode into her room and looked around. It looked as if it had been cleaned recently. All of her books were neatly placed on her bookshelf or her desk. All except one which lay open on her bed. No doubt one she was reading moments before he interrupted. "What revenge do you have for me this time? Perhaps another potion of yours? Are you going to turn me into a cat this time? I always wondered how cats viewed the world." She walked over and sat on the edge of her bed. Teasing him with the idea of what his revenge might be. 
 
"I wish for you to accompany me to the feast." Loki stated plain and simple.
 
Azure paused. She would never dream of those words coming from Loki's mouth. Everyone who knew Loki knew he didn't enjoy attending these feasts, let alone with a woman. She would always hear him complain about how everything that came from a woman's mouth had no value. Although his words were harsh, Azure understood that he simply meant he couldn't stand all the gossip. She never saw Loki as a sexist pig. He had respect for women, but didn't always agree with what came from their mouths. Azure could concur. Even she was tired of all the gossip and meaningless things that she heard them talk about. There was more to life than talking behind people's backs and criticizing the way they dress.
 
"Azure?" He brought her back to reality. 
 
Azure looked at him questioningly. "What did you say?" 
 
Loki sighed and repeated himself. "I want you to accompany me to the feast." 
 
Azure held the confused look on her face and stood up. "You want me to go to the feast with you?" Loki nodded. "Why?"
 
"It's my revenge." He stated. 
 
Azure laughed a bit. "That is your revenge? Making me go to the feast with you? Really?" 
 
Loki turned his gaze away. "I could always come up with something worse." He wet and looked out the window. "Something more embarrassing and crude than what you did to me." He placed a smirk on his face and turned his head to her. "You of all people should know that I am capable of doing whatever I set my mind to." 
 
Azure bit her bottom lip. She knew he wasn't lying, and she knew that his mind was capable of coming up with terrible plots. She has seen some of the terrible "pranks" he has played on simple towns people for bad mouthing him. Simply put, they ended up in the healing room. "Why would you pass up the chance to show off by making this your revenge?"
 
Loki turned his body and walked up to her. "Will you, or will you not accept my invitation to attend the feast with me?" He wasn't about to tell her that he was doing this because his mother wanted him to. How would that make him look? He had to keep his image up.
 
Azure looked up at him and took a breath. Quickly thinking about all the terrible thing he could do to her if she refused, she nodded. "Fine. I will attend the feast with you, but you better not pull anything while we are there." She said in a stern tone. "Remember that this is your revenge, and if you pull anything thing other than this then I will retaliate with something twice as terrible." She crossed her arms and glared at him. 
 
Loki glanced at the book on her bed and recognized it as one of the books he studied when he was learning magic. She was learning more than just illusions now. the playing field is becoming a little more even each moment. His gaze went back to her, and he nodded. "You have my word." 
 
With that, Azure nodded and walked to the door. She opened it for him. "If that is all, I would like to get back to my reading." 
 
Loki chuckled and walked to the door. Before walking out, he turned to her and bowed. "My lady." He looked into her eye with his usual mischievous look and left.

"I still can't believe you convinced Azure to accompany you." Thor patted his brother on the shoulder. "You will have to tell me your secret, brother." 
 
Loki entertained him by saying, "If I did that, I would have anything to hold over you." He then continued to get ready for the evening. Everyone tonight would be dressed in their best, and the princes had to dress twice as nice. Both Loki and Thor dressed in their full armor and walked with pride. 
 
Thor gave a hearty laugh. "Alright, brother, but I will get you to tell me eventually." A knock on the door sounded. A few servants opened the door to reveal Thor's partner for the evening. She was dressed in red and silver to compliment Thor's armor. "Well, looks like I shall be off. I will see you at the feast." He walked over and kissed the lady's hand before leaving the room with her. 
 
Loki looked into the mirror once more to check himself over. All was in place, and he was handsome as always. "Better not keep her waiting." He spoke to himself. "It might be revenge, but that doesn't mean I should be rude." He chuckled to himself and left the room. He walked down the hall to Azure's chambers and knocked on the door. 
 
One of the servant girls opened the door and peeked her head through. She quickly bowed her head. "She will be read in just a moment, my lord." Loki nodded and leaned against the wall next to her door. After a few minutes passed, the same girl came out and announced Azure. "She is ready now."
 
Loki stood up straight and faced the door. Almost as if a spirit of the forest walked out of her room, Azure shone bright like the forest as daybreak. Her chest length hair was pinned up in a slightly messy bun on the side of her head. A few strands of hair hung down making the hairstyle complete. Around her neck, she had a gold chain that held a cute owl pendant. She was dressed in a formal jade green dress with a small train following behind. On her left wrist, she had a dainty gold bracelet with a few charms that resembled the forest. She had makeup that complimented her outfit and her skin tone. Over all, she looked stunning. 
 
"How do I look?" 
 
Her sweet voice brought Loki out of his thoughts. He had to clear his throat to make sure his voice would be steady. "Amazing." He commented, still looking her over. 
 
A smile appeared on her face, and it was like the picture was complete. Not once in his life has Loki been this taken back by a woman. "Well, I guess we should get going. Wouldn't want to keep everyone waiting." She had a nervousness in her voice. It was understandable considering this was probably the first time she was attending an event like this. 
 
Loki nodded and held out his arm. "Right. Let us be off." He had a smile on his face that she hadn't seen before. It wasn't his usual I'm-up-to-no-good smile. It was genuine. 
 
The two of them walked to the entrance of the grand hall where the feast was being held. They were met by Thor and his partner there. "Brother!" He greeted, but his jaw dropped once he caught a glimpse of Azure. "Wow. You look incredible." Thor's partner gently elbowed him in the side, reminding him of her presence. "Right, we should be heading in now. Father is expecting us." Thor lead his date to the door and entered once he was announced. Loki and Azure followed behind and waited till they were fully inside. 
 
"Ready?" Azure didn't reply, but Loki could feel her hand trembling. He placed his hand over hers to calm her down. "It will be fine. Nothing interesting happens anyway." He smiled to reassure her. 
 
Azure turned her attention to him and calmed down. She nodded. "I'm ready." 
 
The person announced them, and Loki walked in with Azure at his side. Many eyes were upon them. Eyes of the many men who tried to get Azure to accompany them. Eyes of others who were surprised to see these two together at an event like this. And the eyes of the queen who smiled happily down at the couple. Once everyone continued what they were doing, Loki escorted Azure over to an empty section of the room. "Now was that so hard?" He teased her a bit.
 
"Oh, shut up. I haven't done something like this before." Her cheeks grew a bit hot from embarrassment. 
 
Loki chuckled and returned her arm to her. "Well then, I won't pull any pranks while we are here. Care for a drink?" He walked away before Azure could reply. 
 
Azure crossed her arms and glared at his back. Unknowingly, Thor came up behind her and startled her with his loud voice. "Now how did my brother convince you to accompany him here? You must tell me his secret." 
 
Azure jumped a bit, but calmed down once she recognized the voice. She turned around and smiled. "Secret? More like a threat." She muttered to herself. 
 
"What was that?" 
 
"Nothing." She smiled innocently. 
 
Thor looked her over like a brother would do. "You look stunning. There are a lot of men in this room who can't keep their eyes off you. I wouldn't suggest being alone. It would be better to keep close to either me or Loki." He glanced around the room. "If any of them give you a hard time, just call me." He winked and walked off just as Loki came back. 
 
Loki handed her a glass of what looked to be wine. "Don't tell me that you told him my secret." He teased before sipping his drink. 
 
She looked at the dark liquid in her glass and smelled it. She wasn't one to drink so she was weary of taking a sip. 
 
Loki noticed her actions and explained, "It's grape juice." 
 
She looked at him then took a sip, confirming that it was juice instead of wine. "Thanks." She took a bigger sip to quench her thirst. 
 
They stood there for a while not doing much besides watching the other people in the room interact with one another. After a while, music started playing and couples began to make their way to the dance floor. Loki kept watching Azure from the corner of his eye. Just then, a young man came up to Azure and asked for a dance. Hesitantly, Azure agreed and went to the dance floor with him after setting her glass down. 
 
Loki watched the two dance. Something inside him began to stir, but he tried to ignore it. He watched the young man dance with her, letting his hand slip a little too low on her back. He pressed his body against hers and smiled at her in a flirty way. A low growl sounded in the back of Loki's throat. A glass that was held by a woman nearby shattered into small pieces. He set his glass down and made his way over to the young man and Azure. "May I cut in?" He asked politely. The anger hiding behind his smile.
 
The young man backed away immediately at the sight of the prince. "Of course." He bowed and scurried away. 
 
Azure took a deep breath, then noticed Loki's hand behind held out to her. He was in a slight bow, asking her to dance. She took his hand. 
 
Loki straightened up and started to dance with Azure. He made sure his hand was in an appropriate place, and that she had a bit of room to breathe. "You should have slapped him." He commented.
 
Azure looked up at him. "What?" She questioned.
 
Loki looked down at her and explained further. "The way he was smiling at you, where his hand was resting, and the way he gave you no space." He paused for a moment. "You should have slapped him." 
 
Azure looked away. "That would have just caused a scene. I just don't want to be noticed right now."
 
Loki chuckled and shook his head. "You are so clueless." 
 
Azure glared at him. "And what do you mean by that?" 
 
Loki shook his head. "You want to be unnoticed, but the truth is that every male in this room has his eyes on you. Even if he already has a partner." 
 
Azure glanced around and caught the gaze of a few of the guys in the room. She moved her gaze back to staring at Loki's chest since it was at her eye level. "This is why I don't come to these things." She closed her eyes and continued dancing. "I don't want this attention. I can't stand being just a piece of meat for them to fight over." 
 
The music for the dance stopped, but before Azure could make her move to leave, Frigga came up to both of them. "Azure! I'm so glad to see you here. You look absolutely beautiful." Her smile could change anyone's mood to a happy one. 
 
Azure smiled at the queen and curtsied. "Thank you, your highness." 
 
Frigga looked at Loki with a proud smile, making Loki look away. Her gaze came back to Azure. "I'm glad you decided to come. Loki must have given you quite a fuss to convince you to come with him." 
 
"Why does everyone conclude that I am incapable of getting a partner for the feasts?" The tone of his voice told that he was annoyed. 
 
Azure giggled and shook her head. "He just asked me, and I decided that it would help broaden my horizon." She more or less sided with Loki in the conversation. 
 
Frigga laughed a bit. "Well, I'm glad to see both of you. You two look good together." She winked at Azure and nodded her head. "I shall be off now. Too many people to have meaningless conversation with." She waved her hand and left them alone. 
 
Azure and Loki looked at each other once she left. "Well, I think we satisfied her desire for a while." Loki stated. 
 
"What do you mean?" 
 
"Nothing." 
 
The feast went on. Azure was bothered by many men to dance with her, to which Loki scared them all away. Thor was the only one that was able to sneak her away for a dance. She chatted with her friends and ate a bit of the food that was served. Over all, it was a better experience than she thought it would be. But now a few questions came into her mind. Was Loki acting like himself? What did he mean by satisfying the queen's desire? What should I do to prank him next? 
 

Well, so far I have one of my readers that now ship Azure and Loki. They created the name Lozure for them. 

Yeah, Loki was a bit ooc in this chapter. I'll make up for it. What should Azure do next to prank Loki? I've gotten a couple ideas, but I would like more. 

Don't be silent readers please. Pleeeaaaase... I know there are a few of you out there that actually read this. 

Well, I'll see you later.

Ahah, this is funny. I comment, and then I see you updated. Okay, so this is getting interesting. Hey, in just wondering. Could there possibly be a love triangle in the future? Oh wait, no. More like love square? Since there's that Fandlar guy too...Oh, and you go girl! Show him what you got, Azure!

applecyanide  on says about chapter 2:
Loki, omg. Of course, he's th god of mischief after all. Hmmm and you said you want some prompts? Okay...how about: In which the two become lost, and Azure blames Loki. Or: Azure attends Loki's birthday ceremony, but a princess from another land starts to become a bit too /chummy/ with Loki. Azure is (not) jealous.
