《Wished Away : Loki x neutral!reader》18. Date Night

"Hey, Y/n?" Loki says knocking on your door.
"Come in Lokes!"
He opens the door and sees you laying on your bed reading The Princess Bride. "I have to ask you something, if that's alright?"
"Of course! What's your question?" you say, putting a bookmark in the book and setting it down beside you.
"I, uh, was wondering if maybe, you would like to go out? As in a date, with me? Would you?" Loki stutters. His words were getting caught in his nerves.
Your eyes widen. "A date?"
"You don't have to say yes-" Loki back tracks.
"Of course I would! I'm just surprised, is all," you quickly clear up.
Loki lets out a breath. "Oh thank the Norns, I was worried for a second. Does noon-ish tomorrow sound good?"
"It sounds perfect! I'll be looking forward to it!" you smile.
"Great, great! Thank you Y/n," Loki replies, smiling as well.
In almost the blink of an eye, tomorrow arrives and you're ready for your date. You still can't believe Loki wants to go on a date with you.
You sit at a barstool in the kitchen and sip at a Caprisun.
"Are you ready?" Loki asks from behind you.
You turn around and see him. He looks amazing. A dark green, almost emerald, button down over a pair of black jeans.
"Yup," you answer.
You take the elevator down to the ground floor and exit out onto the sidewalk.
"So what's the plan?" you ask.
"Well, I was thinking, we make a quick stop at a coffee shop then I take you to a place," Loki says
Chuckling, you ask, "What place?"
"It's a surprise."
You two walk to the coffee shop, side by side, talking about whatever crosses your minds. You arrive before you know it and you go inside and order, and once you receive your drinks, you leave almost at soon as you came.

Loki pulls you down the sidewalk, maneuvering past other pedestrians.
"Are you going to finally tell me where we are going?" you chuckle.
"No. You'll just have to wait and see," he answers, turning his head around to smile at you. Loki continues to drag you down the sidewalk before stopping in from of a tiny used bookstore.
"Here! I was thinking that you could help me find some books to add to the library?" He asks, smiling you.
"Yes! As long as we don't get too many. I don't want to have to carry them back to the tower."
"There isn't such a thing as too many books."
"But when you have to carry back 17 bo-"
"Don't worry about that, darling. I have magic, remember?" Loki chuckles.
"Okay, if you say so..."
You both walk into the bookstore, the bell above the door ringing. The smell of old books fills your nose and you take a deep breath.
For the next hour and a half, you two sifted through about a third of the entire store. Between you both, you found about 25 books total.
"Shall we go purchase these?" Loki asks once you get all the books in one place.
"Yup, I think if we stay here for any longer we might end up buying the whole store."
"And I think you'd be right, darling," He smiles.
You each take a stack of books to the cashier. "Is that all for you today?"
You sheepishly smile, "We have a few more books to bring up, sorry."
"Well, I get started on ringing these ones up for you then."
After a few more rounds of grabbing books and bringing them to the front, finally you finish and you're ready to pay. The cashier, looking slightly concerned but overall giddy to ring up such a large purchase, quickly scans the last few books and you and Loki go on your way, a bag or two in each of your hands.

"What are we going to do about this Lokes?" you ask, looking down at the bags.
He smiles, "This."
Loki shifts a bag into his left hand to free his right. He swipes his hand through the air, and the bags disappear in a green smoke. "Pocket dimension. They'll be there for us to retrieve when we get back home."
"Awesome," you say in awe. His magic never ceases to amaze you.
Loki smiles at your praise, his cheeks turning into a faint red. "So, would you say this date was a success then?"
"Absolutely," you grin. "A huge success." You felt content, and you never wanted this moment to end.

Gateway
An archaeologist by the name of Søren Quinn wakes up elsewhere after boarding a plane for Iceland. Now he has to come to terms with a significant loss of recent memory and his apparent death and rebirth, provided he can survive the rigors of the Tutorial on Gateway Station and whatever waits for him after the Tutorial. Updates. When I can... sorry. Author's Note. Gateway is a portal/isekai style GameLit novel, but it has two main lead characters and will eventually have a small cast of minor lead characters to support them. There will be small elements of base building / kingdom management added as well over time, but they will not be the focus. Gateway really is a slow burn that takes some time to get going unfortunately, but I hope you find it's worth the wait. Thank you! p.s. Book One is finally done (only needed one more chapter unfortunately...) but I'm off hiatus now and will be starting on Book Two right away!
8 132The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!

8 302If only...
There are opportunities that come only once in a lifetime. These fleeing moments we are afraid to grab, fearing the consequences, of our actions, afraid that something might go askew and we may end up losing everything we have. But let's just think about it a little. Isn't regretting doing something easier than regretting not doing it and wondering for the rest of your life about what would have happened if i had done it?
