sunset dreams (Loki)

[Zander Alesnia]

Zander stretched across the towel on the beach and laid back. His legs sprawled across the towel. Zandie closed his colorful eyes and carefully listened to the sound of the waves. He had his right hand resting on top of his bare chest, his left resting next to his body. His dirty blonde hair laid in a nice array that made it look like he was wearing a crown of hair. He shifted uncomfortably, his black swim trunks made a sound as he straightened his legs. His pink lips opened wide into a yawn. He let his body drift to sleep and the dream realm take over.


"Nick?" he said looking at the slightly older boy next to him. "Yeah, Zandie?" the boy responded. "We'll be friends forever right?" Zander's 13 year old voice echoed. "As long as we live." The Nick boy responded gently pulling Zander into his arms and holding him tight. "Boys dinner is ready come to the picnic table!" Yelled his mother's voice from beside the house. Zander pryed himself from the boys arms and made his way around the house. Zandie quickly placed himself at the table. Nick sat next to Zander lacing his hand with the other boy's under the table.

Zander felt liquid around his feet which startled him awake from his dream that would of eventually turned to a nightmare. Zander sat up to be covered in water to his waist. "Lovely."he muttered under his breath standing. He wrapped his fingers around the soaked towel and lifted it into his arms. Zandie pulled himself to his feet and made his way at the rising water. 'Must be high tide.' he thought to himself. He sat in the sand much near the top of the beach and stared out at the horizon of the earth as the sun rose.

[Loki La'More]

Loki laid on the slowly warming ground looking up at the slowly rising beautiful sun. He slowly sat up and looked around wondering what he would do today, he lazily changed into his swim trunks putting his jeans in his backpack he ruffled his hair and looked to his left and right and then his right. He sighed and started walking towards his right he figured it be a better view of the slowly rising sun. He stopped right as he looked up to the sun and felt complete for a moment and warm. he dropped his back pack on the ground behind him slowly walking up to the water that was some-what playing a game of tag with the sand.

As he reached the water he felt the cold water wash over his feet waking him up slightly. He sighed looking back at his bag and wading in a little more whimpering as the cold water rose higher then finally he dove in getting the process over with. He came out and let out a sigh feeling refreshed and very awake he walked out shook off and smiled knowing he probably looked gorgeous. He stood in the sun for a moment drying off and enjoying the heat he smiled, grabbing his bag, and kept walking until he heard a rather obnoxious voice. He whipped out his infamous sock puppet with red hair and started talking to it. The sock puppet brought up his past, just what he didn't need on a perfect morning like this. He Angrily yelled at the sock puppet to shut up and threw it in his bag, fairly upset.

He sat down beneath a tree and remembered that horrible day, what he had done haunted him like a nightmare. He shook his head trying to forget it all, Then looked up at the sun that was much higher in the sky and smiled at it. He then took in a deep breath smelling the ocean and the breeze and then something he wasn't quite ready for no not something a someone. He stood up quickly looking around for this Someone. He smelt the air again and stopped halfway threw this breath realizing this someone smelt different, he wasn't quite sure how but he just knew this person wasn't quite "normal".

Loki bite his lip unsure of whether he wanted to go and find this person. He slowly tilted his head up towards the sky and smirked, quietly whispering to him self "Come on, It'll be an adventure."

[Zander Alesnia]

Zander slid his knees closer to his chest and wrapped his arms around them. He rested the side of his face on top of his left knee and closed his eyes once more. He loved the feeling of the ocean breeze blowing and whipping his hair around. Zandie lifted his hand and slid his fingers through his hair, tugging his head back and breathing in the ocean scent. Zander sat his head up straight and looked out at the ocean horizon ahead of him and the sun slowly rising above. He grinned, a rare sight to see.

He looked around the beach, no one there. Zander stretched his arms out and stood, dropping the wet towel. He gritted his teeth and started to shift. He felt pain shoot through his muscles as his bones popped out of place and back to their new place. He felt his ears grow into his head and his others grow out. There was an immense pain as fur ripped through his skin. His eyes fluttered as they changed vision and colors. He started screaming which eventually turned to a howl. The last thing to change was the tail the sprouted from the spine. He kneaded the sand until the pain dulled.

He lifted his muzzle towards the air and sniffed, now there was a different scent, one he didn't quite recognize, but he like it. Zander followed the scent till he spotted a male down the beach. His ears fell back and he proceeded with caution. The boy was talking to a sock puppet?! He padded closer and sat back on his hind legs a few feet from the boy. He carefully watched the man and decided he seemed alright. 'Plus, he's cute.' he though to himself, 'not as cute as Nick, but still.' Zander added in thought.

He stepped closer and clawed gently at the boy's feet. Zander clacked his teeth, if he wanted to talk to this boy, he'd have to turn back. Zandie sniffed the boy once to make sure he wasn't a fox. He closed his eyes and started to shift back to human before the older boy's eyes. Shifting back wasn't as painful as shifting into his animal for him. Zander was now standing before the boy, all naked except for his black swim trunks. He fidgeted, he's not as brave as he was in fox form. "I-I nevermind." he was barely able to murmur out to the muscular blonde before turning away.

[Loki La'More]

Loki looked at the boy curiously, he slowly pulled his confused face into an interested one. he smirked at the boy and said "no stay, by the way my names Loki, Loki La'More, Who are you cutie?". He smiled at the boy and so much flew through his mind such as "he's really cute." and that one was the most repeated one. He sighed running his elegant long fingers through his hair pushing it back out of his face.He then groaned trying to ignore the voice's in his head, he really didn't want to look like a fool in front of this random, cute, shy, different boy that now stood in front of him. Loki looked around oddly and said "soo....you shift too?" knowing the obvious answer was a yes but maybe he hadn't gotten enough sleep and was hallucinating.

He bite the side of his like and looked the boy over from head-to-toe, liking what he saw. He smiled once he saw the boys eyes, in Loki's opinion they were gorgeous, eyes that could purify a soul, even one like his. Then he made little notes in his head about the boy he saw before him. Loki was amazed
he hadn't seen a boy this cute since, well ever!

He rubbed his forehead trying to shut up the voices, he grabbed his bag pulling out a pill bottle and tapped the bottom as two pills fell into the palm of his hand he put them in his mouth then grabbed a bottle of soda from his bag and swallowed the pills painfully. He put everything back in his bag and looked back at the boy who now probably though he was crazier then he looked.

Loki sighed glad the voices had gone away, but he knew it wouldn't last and he'd probably end up pulling out a sock puppet and this boy would think he was totally crazy. He looked at the boy, then remember he was looking for someone he smelt. He smelt the air and then looked at the boy and said excitedly " you are it the person i smelt that wasn't quite human!!!!" Loki Grinned happily at the boy and almost went to hug him then stopped remembering this was a total stranger. He looked at him awkwardly remembering he had only met him a few minutes ago and mumbled under his breath feeling horrible "i'm sorry."

[Zander Alesnia]

Zander turned and looked at the boy slightly scared. "Z-Z-Z." he choked up a little. "I'm Z-Z-Zander"he was finally able to stutter out. His gentle face contorted a little when the boy popped pills. "Are you a d-dr-druggy or something?"Zander asked, ignoring the boy's question. Zander fidgeted and twisted his limbs awkwardly. "Re-really, I-I-I should go." he whimpered mentally smiling at the cute boy. Some part of his mind didn't want to walk away from this adorable boy, the rest didn't want him to get close. He stepped back a little and smiled for a split second.


Zander jumped back a little when the boy went to hug him. "I-i-it's okay." he lied, no it wasn't! Suddenly, he felt an uncomfortable breeze and he looked down. Zandie's jaw dropped and his face turned bright red when he realized he was naked. "Uhm, I'll just uh... uhh.... go get my tr-tru-trucks." He chuckled nervously before turning sharply on his heels and making his way back to where he was before. He mentally slapped himself. 'How could I be naked in front of that boy!' he thought to himself. He scrounged the area where he clearly changed for his black trunks. He grinned when he found them, and quickly put them on. He had half a mind to not go back to the boy, but that wouldn't be very nice.


He retraced his steps, exactly, taking his time until he finally saw the boy. He stopped a little bit away and took a deep breath closing his eyes before continuing to walk to Loki. "Mu-mu-much better." he chuckled before placing his face in his hands and taking a deep breath. He sighed and looked back at the other boy. "ho-how old a-ar-are you?"Zander said quietly before sitting in the sand and tugging the other boy down with him.

Zander stared at the boy for a while and then a simple monarch butterfly came floating between them. Zander's eyes went wide and he felt his heart rate go faster. He started to fidget to much as the butterfly landed calmly between them. Zandie's shrill scream filled the empty sea area. He was practically in the boys arms now, his eyes shut tightly. After a minute of hard breathing and burying his face in the other boys chest, he opened his eyes and whimpered. "I-I-I'm sorry, I saw a b-bu-buh-butter-butterfly and and and." he stuttered before calmly moving out of the boy's lap.

[Loki La'More]

Loki looked at the boy Shaking his head "No i'm not a druggie i need them for my mental condition." Loki said his words dripping with his accent. He smirked at the boy then saw his jaw drop and the boy ran off. His eyes grew wide as he awkwardly watched the boy run off. Loki looked around unsure how to react to the fact that the boy had been nude in front of him, it wasn't like Loki had seen anything he wasn't the type of guy to stare at people's crotches weather they were clothed or not. He understood though, he wouldn't want to be naked in front of some really cute guy either. At that thought he smiled pridefully.

Then A part of his heart raced as he saw the boy coming back . He smiled at the boys return and replied to his Question " I'm Seventeen And in 11th grade, You?" He was curious about this boy, like he had never been about anyone else. Shortly after answering the boys question he felt the boy pull him down to the sandy shore. As Loki got himself situated on the ground he smiled as a butterfly fluttered by them. Then noticed Zanders fidgeting he raised an eyebrow then before he knew it the boy screamed and jumped into Loki's lap.

Loki wasn't sure what to think but he tried hard not to laugh and succeeded for the most part only letting out a light chuckle. Loki Looked at the boy who was on his lap with his eyes closed and who felt like he was shaking from the butterfly's mere appearance. He smiled as Zander opened his eyes and moved off of Lokis' Lap. He listened to the boy explain somewhat as to why he had reacted the way he did. Loki couldn't help but smile and say " I understand we all have our fears and things we don't like."

He smirked deviously as ideas and images raced through his head again. One that hit him a little harder then the others was an image of Loki pinning Zander to a wall or a tree with one hand on the boys shoulder and his lips planted firmly on the other boys lips. Loki Snapped back out of his thoughts quickly with his jaw open slightly, he wasn't sure what to say after seeing that, let alone if he should say anything at all.

Clothing

[Zander Alesnia]

Zander chewed on his nail, "I'm six-teen and eleventh grade." He shrugged smiling sheepishly and awkwardly, pulling his knees up to his chest. "I-I-I'm s-s-sorr-sorry again for uh..." he trailed off. He stared at the sand for a while and pondered about what to talk about. Images raced back to his head of Nick's murdered and mutilated body and tears came to his eyes. He wiped them away as if he was rubbing his eyes because he was sleepy. It'd be horrible for this cute boy to see him crying, he thought. He ran his fingers through his hair.



"S-so..." Zander spoke, trying to make conversation. Zander scooted closer to Loki and clawed at the sleeve of his shirt as another butterfly fluttered by. "Uh-uh d-do you have any str-stra-strange fe-fears?"he asked as calmly as possible before looking out to the ocean where the sun was completely up now. He then looked back to the sand and ran his finger across it making a small line in the dry sand. Zander looked at the boy then back at the sand and drew a small heart that had "Z + N" inside it in the sand. He then tapped his finger tips together as if waiting.


A small tear rolled down Zandie's cheek but, he quickly wiped it away. He fidgeted awkwardly in the silence. Zander didn't know why but, he felt more comfortable around this boy. "Hey, aren't you my room-mate?!" he asked, suddenly realized where he's seen this boy before. It then took him a few moments to realize he didn't stutter asking that. After realizing this Zander jumped to his feet and squealed in glee. "I-I didn't stutter!" He screamed in glee. Zander then realized he probably looked like a fool and blushed as red as a tomato. Zandie twisted his limbs and sat down rubbing his hands on his shorts. "uhh...." he slipped out trying to think of an explanation.


His face lit up like a light bulb. "We should go swimming!" he giggled before standing again and stood up dragging the boy up with him and dragged him out towards the water. He stopped suddenly when cold water rushed up his feet. Zander suddenly looked at the sky and saw deep black clouds. "Nevermind, it's about to rain." he said calmly and turned back around and walked back to the dry part of the beach leaving the boy.

[Loki La'More]

Loki smiled at Zander looking at him, enjoying the feeling of Zander clinging to him. Now the reason why he felt bad for but he none the less liked the feeling. He then looked around uncomfortably as he thought of his odd fear. "I fear,Um," he paused not wanting to embarrass himself. He sighed and then said "I'm Scared of escalators.". looked away from the boy feeling awkward and unsure of himself. then he spoke again"and about the butterfly thing, it's no problem, I'll protect you if you need it." He smiled oddly at the boy and answered his next question, his accent coating his every word thickly "Yeah i am, I though i recognized you.". Loki looked down at the sand then got pulled up onto his feet by the boy. Loki replied"sure swimming sounds great."

Loki then stopped and watched the boy walk away seeming sad that it was going to rain. Then the word rain triggered a memory of him and Lexxi a few days before his birthday, the day of his first shit. They were dancing in the rain singing random Lullabys in Irish. Then it flashed to what he had seen after transforming back into a human after he had shifted, his Lexxi dead, and mangled. He Snapped back to reality and couldn't help but yell out in anger as his knees hit the rough sand below him. Loki closed his eyes trying to forget it all again but he couldn't for some reason. He ran his fingers through his hair then clenched his hand tugging, not hard enough to pull out hair but enough to hurt him.

He Shook his head then felt an extremely cold wave of water from the ocean wash up on to his lap.He snapped back to reality harshly. He was breathing heavily and felt horrible, he had probably scared off poor, cute, Zander. He let his hand fall into the water and then he quickly ran them through his hair, pushing his hair out of his face. He took a few deep breaths and remembered Zander. The cute boy he had just met who was simply adorable and feared butterfly's.
He had fallen rather quickly for this boy now that he had though about it, he was sweet, shy, and not to mention cute as hell. Loki had found his first crush that was a boy, it didn't feel odd to him just, new he then recognized the feeling as butterfly's the ones you get when you see someone you like not the kind that flew around and scared cute little Zander.

[Zander Alesnia]

Zander turned to see if the boy was following him. He brushed some strands of hair out of his eyes as there was a crack of thunder that echoed through the land. He then saw Loki fall to his knees. He rushed over to the boy's side without thinking. Zander heard the boy scream and he jumped back, scared. He stepped away carefully. "uhm..." he whispered. His eyes stared at the boy, fear in his eyes. "Yo-you, o-o-okay?" he stuttered tears almost falling from his eyes as rain pelted him. Zandie took a deep breathe and stepped closer to Loki in the water and gently touched his head.

He closed his eyes as flash-backs hit him.

"Zandie you're not old, you're only thirteen!" the boy said. "I am sooooo old Nicky-nickerson!" he chuckled. "Come on Zander, I'm thirteen, do you think I'm old?" Nick asked. "No..." Zander responded resentfully. "Exactly!"the other boy said sticking his tongue out. "Don't put it out unless, you're going to use it."Zander said pinning the boy against the back wall of the house. "I do plan on it." Nick smirked and closed his eyes tilting his head down and gently kissing Zander.

Little did Zander know, he was pinning Loki down and kissing him, eyes closed. When Zander opened his eyes and realized what he was doing, he gasped and jumped back to his feet. " I-I-I am-am-am s-s-so sorry!" he whimpered, staring at the cute boy in the sand on the ground. He put his arm out as an offer to help the boy up. "I-I-I wasn-wasn't thinking." he spewed the words out. Zander nervously ran his fingers through his hair. "I'll understand if -if-if you do-don't wa-wan-want to tal-talk to me agai-again."he said looking at his feet. I think he'ss kind of cute, but how could I of kissed him?! he mentally screamed at himself.

This boy probably didn't ever want to talk to him again after that. How could he? When he looked at this boy he got a bubbly feeling in his stomach. The one he got when he looked at Nick. Tears ran down his cheeks but were hidden by the pounding rain. He jumped back to reality when thunder cracked again. "we we we should g-go in-ins-inside." he choked out as he looked at the dark looming clouds. He had liked this boy, hadn't he? He's probably straight. he thought, his fingers tracing the tattoo on his wrist.

[Loki La'More]

Loki snapped back quickly into reality as the boy asked if he was okay. "Yeah, just remembering something."he replied. He glanced around, realizing he wasn't in Ireland anymore, feeling home-sick. He was more glad, though, to be more accepted here. Loki jumped a little bit when Zander touched his head. He pretty much jumped into Zander's arms as thunder struck the hard sea air. Loki took a deep breathe and thought 'Maybe I should sit on the ground' and he did so. He sat back down in the cold sea water as rain started to bounce off it.


Suddenly, Zander was on top of Loki and pinning him down to the ground. Loki's eyes widened and his cheeks flushed a bright red as he felt the boy's soft lips on his own. He sort of liked it. He closed his own eyes in the kiss. Loki sort of sighed when the boy's warmth was no longer on top of him. He bit his bottom lip as he heard Zandie's stuttering apologies. "No! No, I still want to talk to you!" He chuckled sitting up in the sand. He stared at the boy's offer up for a long second before taking the hand and pulling himself to his feet with Zander's hand for leverage.


Loki caught his breath as another crack of thunder struck the air. "I agree." he nodded to Zander's suggestion. Voices were echoing in his head. "Crap..." he murmured under his breathe. Loki.... leave the boy he's not worth it!Loki shook his head at the voice in his head. "No way am I doing that!" he shouted out loud, it wasn't meant to be out loud, but, it was. He was positive the boy was looking at him strangely now. Loki sighed. This boy probably thought he was crazy!

Loki jumped again as the thunder echoed through the air once more. "I-I know a place where we can be sheltered." he explained to Zander before taking his hand and dragging him down the beach. Zander seemed to be straggling along. Loki ignored any protests Zander might have as he pulled the slightly younger but, smaller, boy onto his back and picked up the speed towards the white gazebo at the end of the beach, hidden in a cluster of trees. Every crack of thunder and lightening made Loki jump and cringe just a little more. Once, they finally made it to the white wooden gazebo Loki rested Zander back on his feet and took a deep breathe.

Dymetri gave me permission to do the little bit of controling of Zander I did.
