For the Embarrassing Date ask that was lost (F/O Takeover)
An embarrassing dating story…oh! you mean courting? Well, I must say there are a few occasions where something rather embarrassing happened when I was courting Amy, but I think, for me anyway, the most embarrassing was when I took Amy to see my home in secret. It was only a few months into the relationship but we were both madly in love already, I wasn’t meant to go back to Asgard until I had “learned my lesson” as my father put it, but I know Amy wanted to see it. I lied, I told her that my father had agreed to let us come for the day but we were to avoid the city, and I took her to one of my favorite places on Asgard, second only to the library in the palace. It was an old and primitive fort that my brother and I used to play in as children, I reminisced and told her stories of my youth before Thor and I began to drift apart…a happier time. I had also prepared us traditional Asgardian food for a picnic and, after lunch, took a stroll through the forest. I remember Amy’s face, she had fallen in love with my home; the soft sunlight spilling through the branches of the trees, the colorful flowers she knew not the name of but loved all the same, my enjoyment came from watching her marvel at our surrounding. Unfortunately, I had not watched where we had wandered off to and I forgot about this part of the forest, where the old tunnels were. Thor and I had never been allowed play here as children and our Fathers wolves Geri and Freki or his ravens Huginn and Muninn , whichever ones he had sent to escort us at the time, would always make sure we kept well clear, I was given only a fraction of a second’s warning before the ground I walked on caved in under me and, regretfully so, I hit my head knocking myself out, which was embarrassing enough. Amy panicked and used her own magic to locate my Father and used her sling ring to bring him to us, long story short, I woke in the healing room. My Mother and Amy were by my side they were talking and getting on well it seemed, my heart warmed at that…and then my father walked in and my heart sank. I could tell he was angry and seeing me awake he instantly started to lecture me for, not only coming to Asgard when I was not meant to be but for going into an area I knew to be dangerous. Before I could even say a word in my defense, Amy was on her feet standing between me and my father. She told him “enough!” and that “He's only just woke up for god's sake! He barely knows where the hell he is never mind why your yelling at him?”, then my father asked who was she to question him and, well, she replied that she was my girlfriend and that she would not sit by while I was made to feel bad for wanting to show her my home. My father quietened at that for a moment before sighing and nodding. “Very well, the young Midgardian is right, we will speak of this when you are well my Son,” he put his hand on my shoulder before leaving and my mother whispered to me that I had found the perfect woman for me. My face lit up brighter than my brother’s cape at that remark. We ended up staying a few days as I healed and Amy got to know my Mother and Father even impressing them both with her knowledge of magic and willingness to learn more. Once healed, however, it was time to go home. We said goodbye to my Mother and Father, both of them saying that if I caused any trouble they knew she could handle me. I don’t use Midgardian expressions much but I could have died right then and there. When Heimdall sent us back to Midgard, of course, what I had not expected to be waiting for us was a very worried and then annoyed team of Avengers and Casey who had been worried sick about us and flew all the way from LA leaving her little Lily with Elliot… but the rest is for another day. I hope I’ve answered your ask appropriately and I do hope you enjoyed it. - Loki Odinson
