#glitchy has a LOT more things to kill fire over anyways him wanting to kiss blue is just one for the laundry list

[themissingnumbers]

Hello hi howdy how you doing?

Technically non-canon question but I'm new here n have been going through a bunch of the posts to get Up To Speed and I've noticed that Blue seems to have romantic entanglements with both Glitchy Red and Fire Red so what I'm wondering is, when/if Glitchy manages to escape superhell how will those relationships pan out? Will it be polyamorous? Or will the Reds fight to the death for the right to kiss Blue? Maybe both? Or will someone die before then?

Anyways yeah hope you're doing well n I love this blog. :3

[HI mod starry here i keep forgetting to answer this fuuuck. anyways firstly- welcome welcome!! we're happy 2 have you and im glad you like the blog so far! ^^

to start with actually answering, here's what Carrion said which sums it up a lot more. eloquently than i could:

Relationships and how they can change and fluctuate between people as a consequence of trauma and grief is a central theme to missing numbers- You'll have to simply wait and see how things pan out by engaging with the story as it's told

anyways for my own messier answer- i always prefer polyamory over "fighting to the death" over one guy haha,, ultimately while there very much ARE relationships and attractions in mn that do affect the character's dynamics in important ways, i don't want things to go down a path where any romantic fights n shit override the bigger picture/point of the blog. mn is a horror mystery where the relationships ARE important, but the focus is still the horror mystery anjkklsd

(ive always personally avoided shipping centric parts of fandoms in fact.. ive never shipname tagged any of my art actually focusing on that . that stuff scares me and i dont wanna bait and switch people with Aw theyre in love! wait why is blue stabbing him)

with that said, the details of everyone's dynamics with each other, both in current and future, is still a part of the Questions of the story that i hope to lay out thru future interactions and answers! its just that every part of these is important, not just romance ^v^ ]

Lokis Bahamas

TITLE: Loki’s Bahamas

CHAPTER NO./ONE SHOT: Chapter Nine

AUTHOR: Lokislover9

ORIGINAL IMAGINE: Imagine sitting next to on a plane. It’s a long flight and you eventually fall asleep with your head on his shoulder.

RATING: Mature

NOTES/WARNINGS: Brief mention of serious illness and previous miscarriage. (Trigger Warning)

When Jasmine met Loki in the lobby for dinner that night, the suit was gone and he had on jeans and a navy blue Tshirt. He’d let his hair out of the ponytail and smelled amazing, but she couldn’t get that vision out of her head. As they ate, he noticed she was a little quiet.

“Is something wrong Jasmine? You seem very pensive.”

“Wrong? No, nothing.” ‘Only that I’d like to bang your fucking head off in that suit you were wearing today.’ “How was your first day of work?”

“Good. Are you aware there’s a huge tourist Market about a thirty minute drive from here with much more to offer to offer than what you’ve seen?”

“Yes, Silvie told me.”

“Would you like to go?”

She smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

“Are you sure you’re alright?”

“Yep, great thanks.” ‘If he wears that suit in the car? I’m done for.’

After dinner, they went to the lounge. Loki drank soda water and Jasmine piña coladas with some added shots of tequila. He didn’t want to say anything, but did find it rather odd how much she could actually drink.

“I could use some fresh air Jasmine. Care for a walk in the garden perhaps?”

“K. I won’t be so noisy this time ‘cause my shoes have straps.” She holds her foot out. “See? This means I’m not likely to fall on my ass either and I won’t hurt my neck tryin’ to look at ya.”

As they headed towards the front doors, a limo pulled up and a newlywed couple got out still dressed in suit and gown with their wedding party and passed them on the way in. They were talking and laughing and looked so happy together and Loki noticed a hint of sadness in Jasmine’s eyes as she glanced at the bride.

The moment they’d all shuffled in, he held open the door for her and smiled. “Shall we?”

She followed and they walked in silence for a few minutes as at first, neither knew what to say. “Her dress was beautiful. Don’t you think?”

“It was.” He replied.

They walked in silence again until reaching a bench near a flower bed and sat down.

“I’m sorry if it bothered you to see that Jasmine. Are you alright?”

She smiled. “Yeah, I’m good. It just reminded me of something my friend said to me on snapchat today.”

“Would you like to talk about it?”

“Ah, just that I’m so much better off and she’s right.”

He knew what she meant, but thought it polite to ask anyway. “About?”

“Nick and I splitting.”

“So, you agree?”

“Of course. The guy was a huge dick.”

Loki smirked while nodding. “I see.”

“It’s true. Ava always called him Nick the dick when she was mad at him.”

“Ava’s your friend?”

“Yes.”

“May I ask what happened Jasmine?”

“Basically, he was having an affair and decided before meeting me down here, that she was the better option.”

“Before?”

“Yeah. About a year and a half ago, I found out he was having an affair and we split up. I didn’t know who it was at first, but my father had his suspicions.

“Oh?”

“Nick worked for him. Dad owns a real estate company and shares a building with two lawyers and one of them had gotten a new secretary. Dad had seen them talking in the parking lot a few times and walked in on Nick hanging up on some calls fast, but didn’t think much of it then. Anyway…”

She hesitated and looked away and Loki tapped her shoulder. “You don’t have to keep going, I understand.”

“It’s alright. Ava was right about him then too and I should have listened, but three months later I gave him a second chance. After we were back together and all seemed fine, Dad discovered through the lawyer they were having an affair and she’d moved far away for another job about a month before I’d taken him back. Long story short, three days after I arrived here, he left to go live with her and I learned we were through.”

“He left you and his job?”

“Yep. Moved to another time zone too. Dad has an old private investigator friend who found out a lot. He thinks Nick had planned for me to come here first so he could skip town unnoticed. This way Dad couldn’t kill him.”

“I could understand why he’d want to.”

“He wanted to the first time too and almost fired him when he learned about it.”

“No insult to your father in any way, but I would have.”

“It was me that stopped him. Nick had a kid very young that I’d never told Dad about and he’s still paying child support.”

Loki sighed. “That’s a shitty deal Jasmine, I’m sorry.”

She shook her head and smiled. “Really Loki, I’m not. Seeing those people only reinforced that. Besides, I’m happy to be here.”

“Are you?”

“Yes, I’m really starting to enjoy this vacation.”

“How so?”

“It was a little mundane at first, but I ran into a local who wants to show me around and things are looking up.”

“I see.” He smiled while reaching behind the bench then picked a flower and tucked it into her hair. “Unfortunately, that local has an early day again tomorrow, so he should get you back.”

“Sure.”

Nothing was said between them as they walked back or while waiting for the elevator. After stepping into it, a group of tipsy guests ran in just before the door closed. In their haste, Jasmine was pushed back far enough to be lightly pressed against Loki and he smirked when her breath slightly hitched. When the first couple left, he put a hand on her shoulder to reach up and push her floor. As the rest left on the next one, his fingers brushed down her arm igniting goosebumps that sent a shot of heat rippling right through to her core. That did it. All Jasmine could think of were the tingling sensations flowing throughout her body since seeing him in that suit and the second that door closed, their lips awkwardly met.

At first he was startled by her intimate kiss but it quickly became heated when he pulled her body close sliding his tongue beyond her lips. Jasmine tossed her purse to reach around his neck and as their tongues entwined, another flush of heat spread to her panties and she expelled a soft moan. It sparked Loki’s lust and he lifted her to the wall wrapping her legs around his waist, pressing himself against her.

Jasmine gasped, flattening a hand to the wall gripping at his shirt, but the look in his eyes only made her want him more and they kissed again. This one was longer and deeper and her world fell away as she weakened in his arms, but Loki suddenly came to his senses when his cock twitched. Everything she’d said came back to him and although he wanted her badly, he couldn’t do it this way. He stopped, but locked her in a gaze while releasing her until she leaned steadily against the wall.

It wasn’t until he took a step back, that Jasmine noticed the elevator had stopped between floors. As he knelt to retrieve her purse and the flower that had fallen from her hair, it began moving again. “Guess there was a glitch.” He said, handing them back.

She stared at him flushed and speechless, until the door opened on her floor, snapping her out of it.

Loki held it open as she slowly approached it. “You must have found that over the top? I apologize Jasmine. Will you be alright from here?”

She smiled while stepping off. “It’s all good. See you around tomorrow?”

He smiled back. “I’m certain you will.”

The door slid closed as she turned towards her room. ‘Holy shit! After a kiss like that? You’re damn right you will!’ She thought.

Loki stopped the elevator again to cool off and let his partial erection disappear and when finally reaching the lobby, he got some odd glances from a group of waiting guests he remembered seeing drinking in the lounge. “Heads up everyone, it’s a little glitchy.”

When almost at the exit, he ran into Silvie.

“What’s this I’m seein’? Have a little jump in our step Stud Muffin?”

He smiled. “We do indeed Sweet Cheeks, goodnight.”

As he walked towards the doors, he over heard Arthur approaching her. “Hey, why are those half baked people taking the stairs?”

“Maybe they’re needin’ to walk it off? I’m not sure.”

Loki smirked to himself as he left.

********** The next day started out business as usual although Loki noticed a sign on the staircase door saying temporally closed.

“Arthur, what’s up with the stairs?”

“We’re waiting on the carpet cleaners. They should be here within the hour.”

“For what?”

“Some drunk guests thought it wise to take the stairs last night after being told one of the elevators was glitchy and one hurled on them near the third floor.”

Loki pursed his lips and looked away getting busy with his daily tasks and Arthur continued.

“There’s an elevator repairman coming at 2:00 and we’ve had to shut that down too.”

Loki put a fist to his lips and cleared his throat to hide a chuckle but Arthur caught it.

“Hey, why is that funny to you man?”

A huge smile spread across Loki’s face. “There’s nothing funny about vomit on carpets or elevators that hotel owners think are broken. Especially when they call repairmen they don’t need because there really isn’t anything wrong with said elevator. Mind you, I could also see how it would be very stressful for an owner to worry of guests complaining about the inconvenience of it all.” All the while he’s saying this, his back is turned to Arthur. “Not a pleasant start to the work day, I’m sure.” He finally turned around to see Arthur glaring at him with a scowl and laughed.

“You asswhole. What did you do?”

“Never mind. Just give me the number for that repairman and I’ll sort it out. However, guests hurling on stairs I can’t be held responsible for.”

“If they would’ve been able to take the elevator, there wouldn’t be vomit on the stairs.”

“Maybe, but think about this. They may have just as well done that in the elevator, but decorated other guests in an unwanted manner which could have created animosity amongst them. Then what, hmm? You may have ended up with larger problems where the authorities get involved and…”

Arthur put a hand up to stop him. “Zip it man, I’ve heard enough.”

“Very well. That number please?”

Arthur gave it to him, rolling his eyes. “Dick head.”

Loki put a hand to his chest. “Why Bossman, I had no idea your affections for me ran so deeply. The feeling is mutual, I assure you.”

“Don’t you have a phone call to make?”

Loki smiled and walked away.

****** Jasmine slept in that morning and had ordered a late breakfast in her room, but had an appointment at the the spa for one o'clock. She came off the elevator and headed into the little shop in the lobby to get some batteries for her camera. She’d just left the store and was still walking while attempting to tuck the batteries into a compartment of her beach bag when she bumped into Marvin and they were knocked from her hand.

“Sorry Sir!”

Once she’d made sure he wasn’t going to fall over, she knelt down to retrieve them.

“I know I’m hard ta resist honey, but watch where ya goin�� would ya?”

He was walking away as she stood and Jasmine started opening the zipper to that compartment while walking again. She glanced up for only a second and did a double take once spotting Loki. His hair was tied back again, he had on the same black suit, this time with a pale pink shirt, a thin white tie and white handkerchief. He was headed towards the front desk and she couldn’t stop staring as she continued walking when suddenly, she was wrestling with a tall artificial plant. In her attempt not to knock it over, she did just that, taking down the large ornate vase it was in and herself with it.

Loki and Silvie heard the raucous and ran to her aid. As they picked her up she kept staring at him even when Silvie started brushing her off a bit.

He smiled at her dazed expression. “Are you alright Jasmine?”

“Hmm?”

Silvie couldn’t help but notice as well and smiled at Loki.

“Are you alright?”

“Uh, yes I’m good thanks. Oh, hi Silvie.”

She looked down at the mess and her face flushed. “Oh god! I’m so sorry.”

“It’s alright Little Lady, as long as you didn’t get hurt.”

Loki picked up the plant and leaned it against a chair then knelt and started gathering the larger pieces of the vase.

“I’d stay and help but I have an appointment for the afternoon at the spa in two minutes. Sorry guys.”

Silvie laughed. “What are you talkin’ about? Go girl!”

“Are you sure?”

Loki looked up and smiled. “We’ve got this Jasmine, go.”

Silvie waited until she was far enough away before turning to Loki. “Oooh, somebody has a crush on my Stud Muffin.”

Loki blushed and shook his head. “A crush? What are you in grade school still?”

He continued with his task as Silvie stared down at him with a huge smirk on her face.

“What?” He asked.

She kept smirking as he stood.

“Are you going to share your amusement Sweet Cheeks or leave me guessing?”

“I’ve never seen you do that.”

“Do what?”

“Turn rosy cheeked about a lady.”

Loki was straightening his jacket and tie when Rose approached.

“Hi Silvie.”

“Mornin’ Rose. How you doin’?”

“Good.” She immediately turned to Loki. “Did ya know this whole mess is your fault handsome?”

He looked at her confused. “I’m sorry?”

“It’s because ya dangerous ya know.”

Silvie listened with pursed lips.

“Oh, I am?”

“I was waiting for Marvin across the way and saw the whole thing like I was watchin’ it in slow motion. That girl took one look one at you and she saw nuthin’ else. She was completely gone.”

Loki blushed profusely and Silvie laughed. “See?”

“Huh?” Said Rose.

“I just told him she fancies him too.”

“Fancies?” Said Rose.

She looked back at Loki. “Are ya kiddin’ me handsome? The girl is on fire! Ask her out! I guarantee ya she’ll say yes!”

Loki smiled and nodded. “I’ll see what I can do Rose.”

“I’m tellin ya, go for it before some otha’ young hottie tries ta scoop her up! Anyway, I betta’ get back to my Marvin before he has a temper tantrum and shits himself.”

Loki and Silvie tried their hardest not to laugh.

“You kids have good day now.”

“You too Rose.”

“So.” Said Silvie, crossing her arms with a big smile on her face. “Rose thinks my Stud Muffin is a hottie.”

“Not..another..word..Silvie.”

She cackled while walking away. “Let me go find someone to clean that up.”

Jasmine quite enjoyed her afternoon at the spa. An heated oil massage, a moisturizing facial, manicure and pedicure, a little waxing, nothing like being pampered she thought. Not to mention she really wanted to look nice knowing she was spending the day with Loki. While relaxing and waiting for her nails to dry, she overheard two female guests quietly chatting.

“Did you see that guy in the suit again today?” “Oh my god, I know! Isn’t he gorgeous?” “He’s fucking hot! I wonder if he’s single?” “He can’t date a guest. He’d get fired.” “I’d never tell.” “Be realistic honey. It’s not that he may not want to, you’re beautiful, but there’s cameras everywhere.” “It would still be worth a try.” “Maybe, but I highly doubt he’d take the bait.” “Party pooper.” “Stick to other guests woman, you’ll have better luck.”

Jasmine smiled to herself. ‘Good advice.’ She thought. ‘If I have my way, he won’t be single for long.’
