The Talk (Loki/Jade/Reader)
It's time to have the talk with Jade.
Read the Mischievous Life series here!
"Deep breaths, Loki," you say, trying to calm the god pacing in the living room. "It'll be just fine."
Loki stops and looks at you before continuing. "The twins are with Thor, right?"
"Yes, my love," you assure him. "There's nothing to worry about."
Just then, Jade comes through the house's front door, and Loki is startled – turning to look at her.
"Hey...guys," the thirteen-year-old suspiciously greets the two of you, and Loki finally sits down next to you on the couch. "Is everything okay?"
You stand up and motion for your daughter to come and sit by you and her father. "Jade, your dad and I need to speak with you."
"What'd I do now?" Jade asks with an uninterested tone as she sits down in the armchair next to the couch.
"Nothing, sweetheart," Loki confirms. "Yet."
The teenager looks back and forth between you and Loki. "Mom, what's going on?"
You take a deep breath in before speaking. "We just needed to talk to you about – well, your dad and I know that you're growing up – obviously, but -,"
"A parent of one of your friends reached out to us and told us that you were kissing a boy named Devin," Loki finally blurts out.
Jade's face blushes more than yours ever had as a teen. "What?" she asks – acting like she has no idea what Loki's talking about.
"Jade, don't try to act like this didn't happen," Loki warns. "You can't lie to the God of Lies and Mischief."
Jade nods and sighs. "Okay, fine," she admits. "Yeah, I was...making out with a guy that likes me."
"Okay," you say positively before looking to Loki – wanting him to find a way to have this talk.
Loki clears his throat. "Have you – you know...anything?"
"Huh?" Jade asks – looking genuinely confused at her father's words.
"Sex, Jade," Loki manages to say. "Have you and this...Devin...or anyone else...had sex?"
Jade tries to hide her face from the two of you. "No, dad," she answers.
"Jade, look me in the eyes and tell me," Loki orders his teenage daughter.
She does as he wanted and looks him in the eyes. "I promise...I haven't had sex with anyone."
"I believe you," Loki nods, and the two of you breathe a sigh of relief. "But...your mother and I think you're old enough for us to have this conversation with you."
Jade tries to bury her face in her hands. "Oh my God, dad, no, please." Jade turns to look at you in some hope that you'll help her get out of this. "Mom, I've taken biology...I know where babies come from, okay?"
"Jade, that's not what we want to talk to you about," you tell her with a sweet smile. "We just...we want you to understand how serious something that seems so trivial can have major consequences."
"What do you mean?" Jade asks – becoming genuinely curious as to what the two of you have to say.
"Sweetheart, listen to me," Loki begins as he holds her hand in his. "You aren't a child anymore, alright? You're...you know."
"You're becoming a gorgeous young woman, is what your dad is trying to say," you finish for Loki. "You know that you're an actual goddess, right?"
Jade blushes and smirks. "I know."
"Boys are going to try to sleep with you," Loki continues. "At your age, though, it's not done with love or adoration...it's done purely out of lust, and the last thing your mother and I want is for your heart to be broken by some lowlife Midgardian."
You grab Jade's other hand before you cut in. "Even if you and some boy agree to do something – what would you do if, let's say, you argue afterward, and unbeknownst to you, he has photos of your intimate areas? Or perhaps he has a video of the two of you? Think about how much that would affect your life at school."
"Why do you have to be so negative?" Jade asks you.
"Because you have to think about the worst-case scenario," Loki answers for you. "Even though I'm not human, I was, at one point, well over a thousand years ago, a teenage boy – and I know how teenage boys think."
"Babe, we're not trying to scare you and tell you to avoid sex for your entire life," you tell her. "We just want you to understand the possible consequences – besides pregnancy, of course."
"Okay," Jade breathes, "so what if I have a question about something?"
Loki smiles and squeezes her hand. "That's what your mom and I are here for."
Jade nervously nods and exhales. "So...if it's not, I guess, encouraged for kids my age to have sex, then why do I sometimes really want to?"
Loki's face turns beet red, and he turns to you. "Would you like for me to step out for this, or...?" he quietly asks.
"No, Loki, she needs to feel comfortable talking with us about these things," you whisper back. You turn your attention back to Jade. "Do you mean like, feelings that are sometimes difficult to get rid of? Like a...aching?"
"Yes," she nods, relieved that you're able to understand her. "It's usually, well, you know where, mom."
"I do, sweetie," you confirm with a warm smile. "It's just...nature. You'll learn more about hormones and evolution in high school, but just know that it's nature – perfectly normal thing."
"But, how do I make it stop, mom?" she asks, looking a bit desperate for an answer.
Loki is sitting on the couch with one leg crossed over the other – covering his mouth with his fist – a terrible attempt at hiding his level of discomfort.
"Why don't we talk about this later, yes?" you suggest to the teen – Loki giving a sigh of relief. "Just you and me...okay, Jade?"
Jade nods and throws her arms around your and Loki's neck. "Thank you for being the best parents ever."
