\u201cNo!\u201d She flung herself down on the beanbag. \u201cDon\u2019t call me that. Don\u2019t ever. I\u2019m not a lady. I\u2019m not special. You wanted company, you wanted to play at desire, and that was fine, okay. Don\u2019t play with my emotions. I\u2019ll give you desire, I\u2019ll give you mischief, hell, I\u2019ll even drive off your monsters, but don\u2019t \/play\/ with my heart, mister.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cYou misunderstand,\u201d Loki furrows his brow, confused. \u00a0Here was a being who took flight with her emotions more than even he had, before\u2026He waved those thoughts away.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have heard of your kind, Summer. \u00a0Fire child. \u00a0I have heard whispers of belittling words, ideas in the backs of minds of your inferiority. \u00a0Your weaknesses. \u00a0Do not think me ignorant to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wrapped his hands around her arms, gripping her tightly, forcing her to look at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut do not think I listen to such things. \u00a0I don\u2019t give a damn what you are born being, each of us can choose what we become ourselves.\u201d \u00a0He faltered for a moment. \u00a0Can\u2019t we<\/em>?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wanting to bury her face in her hands, Summer settled for closing her eyes for a moment. \u201cI \u2026 jumped to a conclusion, there. Sorry.\u201d She tried to laugh. \u201cI thought you knew all my weaknesses before we started, Loki. Isn\u2019t that what you said?\u201d<\/p>\n

She looked back, green eyes to green eyes. \u201cCan you care for someone who will always know if you truly do or not? That\u2019s the sticking point for so many, you see, luv.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Loki took her hand in both of his and gently lifted it to his heart. \u00a0He pressed her fingers to him and held her gaze as steadily as he could. \u00a0It was often hard for him to maintain eye contact, considering he was usually being deceitful. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Not this time, though.<\/p>\n

\u201cFeel it, then. \u00a0Sift through my lies. \u00a0What do you see, fire child?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Her eyes went half-lidded and distant, fingers flexing against his hold. “Loneliness,” she breathed. “Hope, such hope. Relief … and gratitude.” A silence that seemed long, but truly lasted only a few swift breaths. “Love.”<\/p>\n

The word was almost inaudible.<\/p>\n

“You do care. Why?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
