Twisted in Ties (Loki x OC)

Chapter 18

"You are the single most annoying creature I have ever met."

"Nah, interrupting cows are the worst."

"Interrupting wha-?"

"MOOOO!!" I laughed even harder as he got even angrier. "I told that one wrong and that was still hilarious!"

"How dare you disrespect me like this!?" I looked at his cell after I calmed down a bit.

"Are you sure that respect is something you have the ability to demand right now?" He grumbled a little, but he only turned away angrily. "Oh, come on. The least you could do is listen and maybe I'll say something funny."

"I will die before you come up with a joke I find entertaining." I smirked, accepting the challenge.

"Well, guess the only way to find out is if I sit here and keep going then!" He groaned in annoyance, but he got comfortable and gestured for me to continue, even though he looked like he would've rather done anything else.

"Enlighten me." I was honestly surprised he was going along with it. Then again, did he really have that much of a choice?

"Okay, umm..." I thought for a second, trying to come up with a good one to start out with. "Oh! Why is grass so dangerous?"

"Why?"

"Because it's full of blades!" He rolled his eyes. I chuckled and kept trying.

"Why do cows wear bells?" He said nothing, but I answered anyway. "Because their horns don't work."

"This is going to be the most painful wait of my entire life." I kept telling jokes and he actually started seeing if he could guess the answer before I said it. He still had yet to best me. It became an ongoing game between us and he started getting really into it. I was just happy that he was enjoying himself. I'd never seen him enthusiastic before. I didn't think he had it in him.

"Okay, okay! I know you'll get this one!" I told him, smiling excitedly since I was eager to share.

"Have at it!" He dared.

"What did the evil chicken lay?" He thought about it for a few seconds. His eyes lit up suddenly. Is he gonna get it?

"Deviled eggs!"

"Yeah!"

"Ha! I have bested you, girl!"

"Oh please, I gave you an easy one!"

"I still won!"

"No, you didn't!"

"Yes, I did!"

"Well, it's the only thing you can win then!"

"How dare you?" He said, smiling and laughing with me. Once we both calmed down a little, I realized what was happening. Am I...joking with the guy that literally tried to kill me? I looked into his eyes. We both seemed to realize that something was wrong with this scene and we quickly looked away. I bit my lip, glancing back at him. I felt like I wanted to say something, but I had no idea what.

Suddenly, I heard yelling. I turned, standing up as Thor and his friends suddenly came rushing in. I got nervous fast. I had almost entirely forgotten that I had only stayed because I was lost. Now, I was worried that Loki might get in trouble because of me. He was already in enough trouble as it was.

"Izetta! Izetta, get away from here!" I was stunned as he grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Loki's cell.

"Thor, wait, I'm fine!" He turned to Loki, angry.
