~Marvel X Listener SFW: Loki X Listener SFW: Theme Park Woes~ {Patreon Exclusive}

You wanted to come to this Halloween Theme park with Loki to have fun, but it seems like he's just.....bored......

Contains: Theme Park (background noises/screams), Previously Established Relationship, Misunderstandings, Communication, Character Growth, Apologies, Petnames (Darling, My Dear)

I just had the idea of being really excited to do something or go somewhere and Loki is like "hmmm.....this is.....great". He wants to spend time with you, but the activity isn't to his tastes, and how that would play out. I like the idea of a bit of character and relationship study where it's like, "I wanted to go here to have fun with you why did you lie about wanting to go with me" mixed with, "I want to spend time with you and seeing you enjoy yourself is nice enough for me even though I don't really like the activities we're doing". There are a lot of fading in and out to show the progression of time here, so be aware of that! Hope you all enjoy!

~Audio Transcript Below~

Loki: You look lovely dear, I promise......

*pause*

I suppose that it's a good thing that you made me dress up as well......wouldn't want to stick out in the menagerie.......

*inhales and exhales*

Well.....what is the plan, Darling?

*pause*

A surprise......you're going to tell me what the attractions are..... right before we go to them.........

Lovely........

After you, you know this place better than I.......

*Fade Out*

*Fade In*

A jack o' lantern walk.........

*pause*

I've heard of a jack o' lantern, yes......however the idea of one walking is interesting.......

*pause*

Ah......so we're the ones to walk through and......look at jack o' lanterns.......?

Alright..........humans are willing to make art out of anything...........

*Fade Out*

*Fade In*

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised  how many pumpkins were dedicated to my brother and his friends......they are quite popular aren't they?

*chuckles softly*

I assure you.....I'm not jealous at all.......

*pause*

Well if you'd like to carve a portrait of me out of a gourd I'm not going to stop you.........

*walking*

I assume we're going to take part in some of the food at some point? I've seen you eyeing it up as we walk past........

*pause*

Why not?

No, of course I don't want to throw up, who enjoys throwing up?

*pause*

Ah.....we're to go on the amusement rides now then........

Which ones?

*pause*

All of them........

Right........I believe you're correct on not eating yet........

Shall we attempt that big one first?

*pause*

It goes backwards?

*Fade Out*

*Fade In*

*panting softly*

I'll let you know when my stomach catches up with us.....I'm fairly certain it's still at the top of that first ride..........

backwards of all things.......

*pause*

It's alright......I'm alright...........a lot of movement in a short period of time......

*pause*

Yes, well it's different when I'm the one in control of the movement.......a lot like getting nauseated when you're in a an automobile for long periods of time......

*pause*

Yes.....I believe I can handle walking........

*exhales* I'm alright.....I believe walking will settle it..........let's go.....

*Fade Out*

*Fade In*

A maze made out of corn.........

"A maize maze"

*disbelieving chuckle*

Right, I'm going to let you have that one.....

*walking*

So......if we take a right here, we should be able to find the track to get to the exit......

*pause*

Yes, we just entered the maze.......

*pause*

Isn't the point of a maze to get out of it as quickly as possible?

*pause*

You're supposed to get yourself lost.....and then find your way out....I see.......

Well then....lead on, My dear.....

I completely trust your judgment........

*Fade Out*

*Fade In*

Well....that was certainly a long maze........

No, you did fantastic, better than I expected even.....not a single wrong turn.......

Now you were saying in the maze that there is one.....piece de resistance in this theme park?

*pause*

*hums* A....haunted house.......?

*pause*

Not actually haunted I assume?

*hums* You walk through it and actors who are dressed up inside try to scare you? Well.....sounds........delightful.......

*pause*

Terrifying then......shall we?

*long pause*

Am I having a good time?

*pause*

Well.....I'm enjoying that you're having fun, Darling.......

*pause*

If I'm being honest......not particularly.......it's all a little......crude......to my tastes

*pause*

What? What do you mean, 'go home'? You haven't stopped talking about coming to this place for weeks, it's abundantly clear that you're having a good time.....

*long pause*

'The whole point was for us to have a fun time together'

*sigh*

Come, Darling......let's.....find somewhere to sit for a moment......

*Fade Out*

*Fade In*

There....now that it isn't so loud we can talk about this.......

*sighs*

I've hurt your feelings.....haven't I?

*pause*

I admit that I haven't thought about it that way........that one of the reasons that you wanted me to come with you is because you wanted to have fun with me.......

......It's still rather hard for me to accept that you want to include me......that I'm not an afterthought or just.......brought along because I've heard you talk about it so much........

This sort of thing isn't quite my cup of tea.....as it were.....

*pause*

Because you've been talking so animatedly about it.....and rather than crush your spirit I wanted to......at least come with you......even if I don't typically enjoy this sort of thing.....I enjoy spending time with you.......

*pause*

I apologize......I've.....messed it all up and now something that you were so excited about has been......poisoned.......

*chuckles wryly* I apparently have a gift for bringing down the mood........

*pause*

What? What do you mean by, 'try?'

*pause*

*partially to himself* Have I actually......tried  to find something to like here?

You think I've written everything off on a preconceived notion that I don't like these sorts of things instead of giving the amusement park a chance?

*pause*

Well.....I.....I suppose you're right........I did come into this already deciding that I wasn't going to like it.....didn't I?

I apologize for that as well......there have been a....lot of moments in my life where I'm assured that things are going to go fine and I'm going to have a wonderful time......when.....the opposite is true.......

I've come to trust my instincts for the most part on that account.......but that.....reaction......I.....it was because of people who said they cared about me but didn't actually care to know me.....

You know me.....and you care about me.........

I've fallen into my old habits without even realizing it.......

*pause*

Even though it's a defense mechanism it still isn't fair that I've done it to you........I've tried....very hard to be sure that I don't treat you poorly simply because of my past........

*lowly* Who'd have thought that something like this would bring that out in me........

I apologize wholeheartedly for simply......brushing this entire thing off as something I have to endure......instead of something I could potentially enjoy simply because it doesn't seem to my tastes to the naked eye......

That was wrong of me.....especially when I knew how excited you've been about it.

I wish to be honest with you, I cannot guarantee that I will enjoy anything.....but I will try........I want to try........

*pause*

And know this.....I will enjoy spending time with you......that is the primary reason that I am here......

Because I love you......and spending time with you is one of my great joys.........

*soft kiss*

Now, you said something about a haunted house?

*pause*

*chuckles softly*

I promise that I won't use any of my magic on the actors inside.......

Come now........I will buy you some of those ridiculous Hallow's Eve themed candies afterwards.....the little ones that you say look like corn for some reason?

*chuckles*

Candy Corn, of course......how original........
