\u201cWhy ever not?\u201d he said, pulling back and looking her in the eye. \u00a0\u201dWhy shouldn\u2019t I?\u201d \u00a0He felt all at once very out of control. \u00a0Was that dawn, fading in behind the sky? \u00a0 \u201cMy lady\u2026\u201d He stepped away, paced anxiously as he smoothed his features back under control.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\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. “I … jumped to a conclusion, there. Sorry.” She tried to laugh. “I thought you knew all my weaknesses before we started, Loki. Isn’t that what you said?”<\/p>\n

She looked back, green eyes to green eyes. “Can you care for someone who will always know if you truly do or not? That’s the sticking point for so many, you see, luv.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
