As soon as she got home, she shucked her coat and checked her phone, but she didn't have any messages from Megan. She frowned, sat down, and sent her a series of texts.
"I gave him a handjob. He acted like Christmas came early. It was so cute."
"He gave me one of those packs of disposable wipes afterwards while kissing me. I love him so much."
"His eyebrows knot in pleasure. They are like the most perfect little eyebrows."
"I hope your day was good. <3"
She then took a shower. When she got out she checked her phone again. Nothing. It must have been a busy day - that or Megan was pissy over Lukas. She hoped it was just that it was a busy day. She pulled on a slip and went to bed.
The next day, she put on a sleeveless black dress with a longish A-line silhouette, a different pair of boots, a slightly elaborate rhinestone necklace, and stockings, wore her hair in a ponytail, and, after some consideration, layeed a wine lipstain with a wine lipstick - the lipstick would be rubbed off by the time Lukas showed up, so they'd be able to kiss. She wasn't working with Madison today, so se wouldn't be able to tell her about the date, but she was sure Becky would want to know all about it.

The perks of having magic on this forsaken mudball of a planet were definitely stacking up. After figuring out how to make amusing little copies of the pieces of paper Midgardians apparently considered money and using that to stock up on clothes, Loki eventually realized it was simply more convenient to cut out the middleman and go back to just plain conjuring clothes based on pictures in books he managed to spirit out of the garment district.
Of course, he did change details here and there - adding pinstripes on some, skewing the lapels on others, occasionally putting a little studding or embroidery where it seemed fitting...
He saw no need for subtlety now.
Between this and the discovery of scarves and all the fun there was to be had with those, he was rather proud of himself, and nearly sailed into Teja's shop.

Becky had taken over Teja's shift when she'd left, and had been filled in by Madison and the gossippy customer both, so she was all eyebrow-waggles the moment she saw Teja, especially as Teja was a bit more conservatively dressed today than she had apparently been yesterday.
"Oh, God, Becky, I almost had sex on his leather couch, and I just met him the day before yesterday," she whispered during a moment when no one was within earshot, to Becky's smothered laughter. "I would have, except...you know, virgin."
"Ahhh. I guessed."
"What? What does that mean?"
"You're always like 'LOL DUNCURR' whenever anybody talks about sex."
....that was actually true, but it was because everybody was talking about sex with dudes, which had never appealed to her. Except now apparently she was all like OOH MR. ASHTON! and fantasizing about...well, heterosexuality.
"Soooo..... I heard he was built like a beanpole and makes you look like a midget." Becky waggled her eyebrows again. "You know that tall skinny guys are pret-ty well-hung, right? You might wanna think about that."
"I don't have to think about it. I saw it last night when I gave him a handjob."
The look of pure shock on Becky's face that preceded her falling to pieces with laughter was worth a thousand dollars. Teja spent the rest of her shift with her head held high in extreme pride.
By the time Lukas showed up, Teja was just getting off register.
She looked positively lovestruck when he came in.

The whole rather disgustingly romantic display was capped off by Loki approaching her without a word and immediately seizing her to be dipped and kissed.

She tugged on his scarf to hold him there, absolutely infatuated.
She heard Becky in the background drop all pretense of professionalism and say, "Dude, I thought you met this guy two days ago!"

"Let me get my coat-"
She kissed him again, lingeringly, and then, after she released him, she popped up to kiss his nose and then left to get it.
When she came back wearing it she took his hand.

This was already the best week in the history of ever.
He swooped her up into his arms and carried her out into the cold.
Between his clothes and what he was doing, a few people muttered annoyedly about street theater.

She let him carry her this time.
"I feel like a princess," she said, with a little smile at him, leaning in to shut her eyes and lean her head against his.

"I don't want you to step in any more puddles."
Of course, he hadn't made any more today anyway; since figuring out the wig trick he'd tested it a few more times and was quite pleased by the reaction it got, and he idly performed it on the woman next to them while he waited to cross the street.
(Being in love himself, he took a little pity on his two-floors-down neighbor by restoring hers a few minutes after Teja left the night before. He overheard that she had checked herself in at Bellevue, and.while the idea of making hair sprout all over her face as well did occur to him, he decided against it. Honor among the slightly mad, etc.)
"Not a princess. A queen."

"Empress of the world," she declared fervently, kissing his temple and then his forehead. She pulled back, satisfied herself that her lipstick was gone and none of it was on his dear face, and nuzzled again, putting an arm around his shoulders and giving a barely-audible little sigh.
"I love you-"
It just slipped out. Shit.

"And I, you," he said, very seriously.

...she had no idea if she'd meant it or not, but in his arms she wanted to have. She wanted to be in love, so that he could love her back, and she could feel like this every day of her life.
She shut her eyes and held onto him.
