For some reason, getting out of bed and heading to his way too fucking early class had been a lot easier for Loki today. In fact, everything felt a little easier and he even looked more relaxed while waiting on the students to file in. Once they had, he didn't even move from his sprawled position to start the lecture.

"Compromise," he said airily, "is one of the cornerstones of working with someone. I mean, you very well can't have any kind of good working relationship without some push and pull from both sides."

And that innuendo hadn't come out accidentally. Huh. Loki smiled at the class, almost genuine today. He liked his class. He really did.

"Compromise is the finding agreement through communication through mutual terms of acceptance. You're finding a fucking middle ground and you're sticking to it. If you refuse to compromise, you're probably going to be labeled as a power hungry freak who's close minded and restrictive and no one's going to want to work with you."

He'd known people like that.

"And I wouldn't want any of you to be labeled that," he said with a bigger grin. "I'm sure most of you are used to getting what you want but partnerships require you to set that aside. You can't put yourself fucking first or it's going to become a dictatorship, not a partnership and I really don't want to work with someone who tries to fucking order me around. You must be willing to give things up in order to come to the best possible solution for the both of you. You have to flexible. You have to be willing to bend and push and pull. That's how compromise works."

Flexibility was one of his most favorite things in the entire fucking world, oh yes.

"For today, I want you to be flexible with another person. Compromise. Bend. Give and take. What are you compromising about? Let's say...you and your partner share a room. And you both need it that night for some...special time with a special friend. You're going to have to convince your partner that you need the room. Come to a compromise with each other. Work the kinks out. Talk to each other. Communicate."

Loki's mind was really stuck on flexibility, apparently.

Once the lecture was completed, Loki gestured for them to get started and kept an eye on the class.

"They do, don't they? I couldn't decide so you have options," she replied, grinning.

"Did you have any for yourself?" he offered. "I probably can't eat all of them." He so could.

"I was sorely tempted," she admitted. "But the full box of pretty donuts looked too inviting. I didn't want to ruin the line up for you."

They're donuts, Amber.

"I didn't know you cared that much, Amber," he said, shooting her a grin. "About me."

She laughed. "Oh, well, you know. Your class is pretty awesome."

"I think so too," he said, nodding confidently. "Still, it's sweet of you to bring me things like this."

Remember this day, he'd NEVER say something like that again.

She was sweet! "My pleasure, Loki. Always."

"Welcome to have one, though," he said and took a donut. "Someone sweet deserves a sweet treat."

"Oooh, thanks," she said and peered at the donuts. She chose a chocolate glazed with sprinkles on top and took a big bite.

"Mmm, delicious."

"I agree," he said, savoring the taste of the donut. "One of the best I've ever had."

Just a donut, Loki.

"Oh, yah, it's perfect. The scent alone is amazing. And, man, so soft... it practically melts in your mouth."

"Yeah." Loki wondered if someone turned up the heat or something. Huh. "It makes your mouth just water. It makes you want things that you shouldn't want."

Stop talking, Loki.

Amber ran her fingers back through her hair and took a small nibble, licking the chocolate from her lip. "Mm, it does." She could use a fan about now. "Things that are pretty and warm."

Amber, chill.

"Might need to get cooler soon," Loki said, nodding approvingly. His brain was not working correctly right now.

"I can only hope. We could use a couple popsicles to suck on if this keeps up."

Oh. She shouldn't have said suck.

She really shouldn't have. Now his brain was even more in the gutter.

"Sucking and savoring are two of my favorite things."

Was that the sound of her heart beating in her own ears? Huh. "Especially when the something..." she didn't say someone, thank god, "...is delicious." Oh man, was she warm.

"Agreed." Very much agreed. "So, maybe we'll both find something like that?"

"Oh, yes. I have faith we will," she said, smiling.

Liir was definitely on the brain.

"Confidence is very--" Sexy. "--good."

"Getting what you want," is damn hot, "is total satisfaction."

"I think I have--" To excuse himself from class. "--a mission for today."

"Do you? I think I do too." If she looked like she was thinking of certain things, it's because she totally was.

"Good luck with yours," Loki said, nodding. "Very good...luck."

"And you with yours," she told him. "It's going to be an awesome day."
