Round 8
ROUND 8 IS CLOSED.
Welcome to norsekink!
Keep up the awesome, folks.
Attention:
M ind the new rules that have gone up over the course of the last round.
NOTE: We've noticed that some of the prompts being posted have Thor characters only making cameos or not featured at all. We realize that Thor is closely involved in the Avengers, but we're requesting that ( Read more... )

And every night, just before closing Loki turns up buying increasingly odd combinations of items.

ps : I just thought of that post from Hyperbole and a half : "You go to the grocery store to buy a couple things. Maybe you have a blister and need Vaseline, or maybe you are out of toilet paper. While you're there, you decide to stock up on unintentionally phallic vegetables or a case of extra spicy canned chili. You don't realize until you are placing your items on the counter that the specific combination of things you are buying says something to the outside observer about what you are planning to do with them. But by then, it's too late. You frantically try to reorganize your groceries so the offending items are as far apart as possible. Maybe you even grab some Tic Tacs or a magazine to throw the checker off your trail. But no matter how many decoy items you buy, you still feel positive that the checker is going to notice your conspicuous purchase and think you are some twisted freak with explosive diarrhea. "

Of course, he had not factored in Thor (brother and roommate, as neither of them earn enough to pay for individual city rents). Thor, who fell in love with and married Jane Foster; Thor, who did not think to get his own apartment before procreating; Thor, who winces every time he sees Loki’s monthly credit card statement (which is now cluttered with charges for chocolate bars, mangos, anchovies, or whatever Jane, now six months along, had been craving at the time).
Today, Jane’s text says I am frying up some zucchini patties! But we are out of zucchini, immediately followed by, If the store has a pharmacy, could you pick up some hand lotion, too? Loki makes a mental note of the request before setting his phone down and turning back to his latest array of case notes. Something about embezzling funds from a charity. Small potatoes ( ... )

“If we’re speaking in the vein of Hitchcock, then ‘Rear Window’ is a favorite of mine. I’ve always marveled that most of the story takes place in a single room, and yet I never get bored.”
Steve laughs, immediately warming to the topic.
“Me, too. Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly are the best of the best. And if you go further back, ‘The Philadelphia Story’ is always at the top of my list.”
“You know, this entire conversation makes me think you have no interest in modern cinema,” Loki observes. He wouldn’t blame Steve if that were the case. After being forced to watch the Transformers trilogy, Loki might have to join Steve’s side. The first was alright, but Revenge of the Fallen was just plain awful. And don’t even get him started on Battleship“Some aren’t bad. The Star Trek reboot was really good. And Inception was phenomenal.” Steve laughs again, as though embarrassed ( ... )

He slouches at the table and watches her work. Law is mentally and emotionally draining, and the awkward situation at the grocery store is an added stressor. Loki hopes she doesn’t notice.
“I’m going to ask you what the matter is,” Jane says, out of nowhere, “and you are going to tell me the truth. No funny stuff.”
“I hardly think it’s any of your business,” Loki retorts, feeling short. “Thor is your husband, not me. Go to him if you feel like being a bother.”
“A bother?” Jane crosses her arms above her round stomach. “What’s got you in such a bad mood?”
“Oh, I don’t know. Could it be I’m sick of being your errand boyJane’s arms fall to her sides, and Loki despises himself now more than ever. He dares to look up at her. When he sees ( ... )

Jane does Loki the favor-or what she thinks is a favor-of not texting for three days. It makes Loki feel all the worse for insinuating that she was a burden to him, when that is not the case at all. On the fourth day, he can’t take her well-intended reprieve for another moment. Twenty minutes before 5:00, Loki texts her demanding a shopping list. He doesn’t care what it is. He’s even willing to foray into the world of feminine hygiene products if it means proving that he is invested in his sister-in-law’s health and happiness.
Oh, god, thank you, she quickly writes back. Pick up some sparkling white grape juice and vanilla ice cream. The baby wants floats.All in all, the request is certainly less disgusting than its predecessors. Hell, the combination is even a little intriguing. He might try one for himself, if Jane doesn’t gobble it all in one go ( ... )

“Jane,” Loki confirms.
Whatever conversation might have followed is interrupted by Loki’s cell phone. Annoyed (and wishing, not for the first time, that he could throw the damn thing into the Hudson River), Loki fishes the phone out of his pocket. Thor’s name scrolling across the screen.
His brother never calls during the day.
“Thor,” he answers, “what-”
“It’s Jane, she called me from the hospital, her water broke, I’m on my way there now!”
“Right now?” Loki clarifies. “Her due date isn’t until late January.”
“They’ve taken her to Manhattan General. I know you’re working, but-“Manhattan General, got it. I’ll be there as soon as I can ( ... )

“You know,” Thor says, his voice scratchy from sleep, “Jane said that you had found someone, but she swore me to secrecy. I’d hoped you would eventually tell me on your own.”
“I wasn’t sure,” Loki admits, since there’s no point in denying it now. “About him or me.”
“He acts fairly sure.” Thor pauses. “I’m glad for you. He seems like a good man ( ... )

When it comes to Steve, Loki will take anything he can get.
This is a no-Bethany weekend, and the bed is a wreck. As Loki had guessed (or perhaps hoped), Steve is extremely affectionate after the fact, pressing kisses onto Loki’s throat and shoulders. Loki isn’t comfortable verbalizing how much he enjoys this part, but he encourages the behavior through touches and sighs. Steve isn’t stupid. He understands the language ( ... )
