Go Away, Little Girl

“Are you ready, Min?” Jane asked, hesitantly.

She nodded. “Absolutely. I’ve waited two years for this day.”

Today was the day when Jane was finally taking Min to Asgard with her. Jane had been married to Thor for a whole year, yet Min had never been to his home realm in all that time. She made Jane promise that for her sixteenth birthday, she would take Min to Asgard and let her stay for the summer.

“Alright, Heimdall! Open up.” Jane called.

All of a sudden, a portal of light opened and pulled Jane and Min up. When they landed on the Rainbow Bridge, Min lost her balance and fell to the ground. Heimdall reached out a hand and she let him pull her to her feet.

“Wow.” She breathed. “That’s quite the rush.”

He laughed. “Welcome to Asgard.”

Heimdall led them to the entrance of the palace and the doors opened gracefully. Min gasped softly, taking in the impeccable beauty of the inside. It was like nothing she had ever seen. Waiting inside was the Royal Family, minus Loki.

“Welcome Minerva. Jane has told us so much about you.” Frigga smiled warmly.

Min smiled back and greeted them all. Thor hugged her, lifting her off her feet easily.

“You’re just in time! We have won a hard battle and tonight, we feast. I hope you both will join in the festivities.” Thor said, his voice booming.

“I would be honored.” Min replied.

Frigga came and put her arm around Min. “Well then, we’d better start getting ready.”

********************************************************************************************************

Walking into her designated room for the summer, Min was amazed. It was lavishly decorated, with a large bed adorned in gold. Soaring windows led to a balcony overlooking a huge orange grove, the fruit’s gorgeous scent filling the room. It was magnificent. A beautiful clawfoot tub was in a secluded area of the balcony, so when one bathed they could enjoy the beauty of the grove. A servant had filled the tub and helped her disrobe. She sunk into the bathtub, the water rich with sweetly scented oils. The servant helped her to bath, softly scrubbing her hair until it shone and exfoliating her legs. She was not used to being treated so well, but she did not complain. She was done, the servant wrapped her in a fluffy towel and led her to Frigga who was already in her evening attire. Laid out on the bed were three dresses.

“These should fit you and you may choose which one you would like to wear. There is a matching necklace and pair of shoes for each.”

They were all gorgeous, but Min was instantly drawn to the dark, blood-red one. Frigga aided her in dressing and helped to do up her hair. There came a knock at the door and a servant told them the party was in full swing. She led them downstairs to a pair of gigantic doors. All of sudden, they swung open and inside the ballroom was what can only be described as Asgardian party. People were eating, drinking, dancing and celebrating. Min saw Thor and another man chugging steins of beer. When the man toppled over, Thor lifted his mug triumphantly and everyone cheered, even Jane. Frigga excused herself to go see her husband and Min made her way to Jane. When Thor saw her, he grinned.

“Well, Min? Welcome to your first Asgardian celebration. What do you think?” He asked her, yelling above the music.

“I think it’s wonderful! Where can I get one of those mugs?” She asked, slyly.

His laughter boomed. Jane looked at her disapprovingly. Min stuck out her lower lip and whined.

“Fine. But just one!” Jane agreed, reluctantly.

The table cheered and a server handed her a stein of the frothy liquid. Min took a big gulp and he table cheered. One of the soldiers asked her to dance and pulled her to the middle of the floor. Min followed his lead as they danced a traditional Asgardian folk dance. He spun her round and round until the were breathless. When the song finished she collapsed into a chair, breathless. She took another large drink of her beer, enjoying the warm, fuzzy feeling it gave her. Soon, another man asked her to dance and she happily obliged. She danced all through the night with everyone there. Soon she grew warm and excused herself outside to cool down. Min made her way to the orange outside her room, hoping to enjoy one of the plump fruits she had smelled earlier. Instead, she found a man sitting under one of the trees, dressed in party attire but instead of enjoying the festivities, he was reading. He was unlike any man Min had ever encountered. He had long, dark hair and pale skin. He wore a green and gold outfit that outlined his muscles slightly. His face was all angles, high cheekbones and a sharp jaw.

“It isn’t polite stare, especially at a prince.” The man said.

It took Min a moment to register this, but she then realized that this was Thor’s younger brother, Loki. Jane had warned her not to interact with him. She said he had attempted to take over Earth. He was unsuccessful, and Odin imprisoned him. After helping to defeat the Dark Elves, he was released, but Jane was still distrustful of him. Min knew she should leave, but something about him compelled her to stay.

“Are you stupid, or do you just choose to ignore me?” He said, annoyed.

Min scowled. He may be a prince, but that didn’t give him the right to treat her that way. “Excuse me, but I didn’t realize I was in the presence of a prince.” She said sarcastically, bowing.

He scoffed, still not looking up from his book. “You’ve quite the attitude, don’t you? Well, go away little girl. You’re disturbing me. Even if you are a pretty little thing.”

His condescending tone infuriated Min. “I’m not a little girl. And that’s no way to treat someone, even if you are prince.”

Loki laughed arrogantly. “I can treat annoying little girls how I want.”

Her blood boiling, Min ripped the book from his hands and through it across the grove. In an instant, Loki was towering over her, holding tightly to her wrist. She tried to squirm free, but it was no use.

“How dare you? I am in a much higher class than you, and I demand your respect.”

As much as she hated to admit, Loki was frightening. She mustered up all of her courage and yanked her wrist free.

“You may have my respect when you have earned it! And I may not be royalty, but I am Jane’s sister and I’m sure a talk with Thor will have you all straightened out, hm?” She smiled, though her hands were shaking.

Loki grinned unnervingly. “Ha! You think I’m afraid of a childish threat? Go away, little girl.”

“Stop calling me that!”

“Stop acting like one.”
“I’m not!” Min let the anger get the best of her and she pushed Loki backward against a tree. She had to tilt her head way back to see his face, but she was brave now. Loki looked down at her and chuckled.

“What?” Min demanded.

“When you’re angry, your pretty little breasts quiver ever so slightly.”

Min’s jaw dropped ever so slightly in surprise. She couldn’t believe it. Not knowing what to say, she backed away from him, still glaring.

“But I believe it is time we rejoined the party. I’m sure Jane has noticed your absence by now and Frigga will need me in there for appearances. Off you go.”

Min was still furious, but she turned quickly on her heel and went back to the party. Inside, Jane and Thor were talking to Frigga and Odin. Jane looked relieved to see her.

“Where have you been? I looked everywhere.” Jane asked, feeling Min’s red cheeks.

“I was overheated, so I went outside to cool down.” Min said. It wasn’t a lie; that had been her original intention.

Just then, Loki strode over and greeted Thor. Min felt Jane step slightly in front of her, as if she could guard her from him. He smirked at Min and she scowled.

“You must be Minerva, Jane’s lovely sister. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Loki was so goddamned arrogant, Min couldn’t stand it.

Sucking it up, she smiled sweetly. “The pleasure is all mine.”

As the orchestra struck up another song, Thor invited Jane to dance. Min studied Loki with an intense gaze. Yes, he angered her greatly, but there was still something about him. He was undeniably attractive and the way he acted made her want to prove something to him. She wanted to show she wasn’t a little girl like he thought she was. Min decided to take advantage of this opportunity and ask him to dance. He wouldn’t dare to say no, not with Frigga and Odin there.

“Loki, may I have this dance?” Min asked, innocently.
Loki squinted his eyes at her, trying to decipher her ulterior motives. Frigga nudged him forward though, and he begrudgingly agreed. They were playing the same folk dance from earlier and now Min knew the steps. Every chance she got, she pressed her body against him.

“Are you trying to entice me?” He asked.

She looked at him with her big doe eyes, blinking innocently. “No, I’m trying to dance with you.”

“This will not work. You are a child. I do have my morals.” He said, lifting her up at the waist in time with the others.

“Sixteen does not really constitute a child.” She said as he spun her out and back in.

“Oh, it does. You are nothing but a little girl.” He whispered into her ear.

She shoved her hips against his and Loki groaned slightly, closing his eyes. Min chuckled. “Yeah. That’s what I thought.”

The song ended and everyone clapped. The two of them returned to the table where Odin and Frigga sat watching them.

“Well, you two certainly dance well together!” Frigga complimented them. “Minerva, you are quite graceful.”

Min nodded her head in appreciation. “Thank you Lady Frigga.”

The night was quickly coming to an end and Min found herself very tired. She excused herself to her room where she put on the pearly white nightgown a maid had laid out for her. She walked out to the balcony and looked out over the sea of trees. She sighed. Loki was… confusing. He calls her a child, then makes a remark about her breasts. He tells her to go away and then groans when she touches him. All of a sudden, she heard a rustling from below.

“You should be careful, dear Minerva. Someone could easily see you up there, especially if you were, say, bathing.”

It was Loki, that infuriating bastard. Was he insinuating that he had seen her bathing? Was he spying on her? “Why are you down there?” She demanded.

“Well earlier, I was reading, but an annoying girl threw my book away from me. So I’m here to retrieve it. Is that a problem?”

She groaned. “It is if you’re going to spy on me!”

He laughed. “Believe me, I have no desire to spy on you.”

“Are you not attracted to me?” She asked, pouting.

“What if I was? What would happen?” Loki said, standing directly beneath the balcony.

Min thought for a moment. What would happen? Jane would never allow it; She doesn’t care for Loki and she would say Min was too young. But Jane didn’t need to know.
“We could fuck.” She stated it bluntly.

“You are just a child.”

“No I’m not! I know you want it Loki.”

All of a sudden, Loki was no longer under the balcony but standing in front of her. Roughly, he grabbed her wrists and shoved her against the wall, pinning her securely with no chance of escape. “You are a child. Though I would like to have you, I cannot. Is that clear?” He demanded.

She smiled at him. Staring at Loki in the moonlight only reaffirmed her attraction to him, as arrogant as his is. She decided that by the end of her visit, she will have successfully seduced him.

“Crystal.”
