Their voices died in their throat.

Finn's mouth dropped slightly. Gareth raised a shaking finger. Riveria tried to hide a smile.

Godou realized what the scene must have looked like to them. Immediately, he pulled himself out of the kiss, and Loki suddenly fell forward due to the sudden lack of support.

As Loki grunted in pain on the floor, Godou quickly defended himself. "It's not what it looks like!-"

"Sorry for disturbing you two," Riveria said, smirking. She quickly dragged the still-shell-shocked Dwarf and Pallum out, slamming the door shut behind her.

"-I was..." With nobody left in the room, Godou's explanation withered away. He glared at Loki, who was still sprawled on the ground, staring at him with wide, dazed, eyes.

"You could have said something too, you know," he said.

"You kissed me," Loki said.

Godou winced. "Well, I didn't know how else to get you to calm down so..."

"You kissed me," Loki repeated.

He swallowed, trying to hide his embarrassment. It had been a very serious situation! "Yeah. I guess I did. Sorry about that, are you mad?"

Loki frowned and stood up. "I...I don't know." She furrowed her eyebrows. "I don't really remember how it felt." She cocked her head to the side. "Maybe we can do it again?"

"Uh..." Godou had no idea how to respond to the very innocent-sounding question.

Loki smiled suddenly. "You kissed me," she said again gleefully.

Godou now wasn't sure if it was a good thing that Loki wasn't mad at him.

"Look uh...I'm really sorry about Lancelot." He paused when Loki made a very ugly scowl. "I don't know how she knows your true name, but I'll pretend I didn't hear anything. I know that names have power, and she shouldn't have used it like that. I promise I'll talk to her."

'I apologize. I made an error in judgement. I will take any punishment you deem fit, my Lord.'

"And she says she's sorry," he quickly added, wondering if punishing the God was actually something he could do.

Loki seemed to contemplate over his words. "No, it's okay. I was just really surprised, that's all." She grinned, and Godou felt relief wash over him. "And I guess it's okay if you know, Godou."

While Godou was glad that the kiss had done its job and calmed Loki down, he found himself slightly baffled. He wasn't sure what she was talking about. A God's full name wasn't something to be taken lightly. It was one of the key pieces of information he needed to activate the Golden Sword. And now, he knew Loki's.

The thought was terrifying. If he wanted to, he could probably severe Loki's divinity right now.

"Godou, about what Lancelot said just now..." Loki said uncertainly. "What did she mean when she asked if I was willing to offer my body and soul?"

Shit. Stupid Lancelot, saying too much as usual.

He paused, trying to come up with an answer that wouldn't reveal too much.

Loki must have taken his silence as his response however, because she let out a deep breath. "I see. So your relationship with Lancelot goes far beyond kissing."

Loki wasn't stupid, Godou knew. He wasn't going to bother lying to her, or try to hide anything she'd already managed to deduce.

"It was once. A long time ago. I was...in a bad place, and all alone." It'd been horrible. In the span of less than two years, all four of his girls had died. "She helped me get through it."

Loki frowned, looking as if she was concentrating more than she was unhappy. "She said that as your Knight, she exists to satisfy your needs and to execute your will."

Godou didn't need to say anything. More than enough could already be inferred from Lancelot's words.

Loki let out a deep breath. "So that's what she meant."

Godou more than expected a sign of her disgust, disappointment, or even anger. He'd experienced all three emotions within himself in the wake of his tryst with Lancelot.

He didn't expect her to suddenly hold his hand firmly in hers. He looked up in surprise. Loki's lips were curled upwards in a sincere smile, parting enough to expose a glimpse of her pearl-white teeth.

She tightened her grip slightly. "Kusanagi Godou, I promise you, that as long as I exist in the mortal realm, you will never need to face such hardship by yourself ever again. I will be there for you, always."

Godou's eyes widened. He tried to speak, but with her other hand, Loki quickly pressed a finger against his agape mouth, silencing him.

"On this I swear on the name of Loki, Daughter of Laufey and Farbauti."

The pulse of magic that jolted through his nerves confirmed what he suspected. Even in this world, names held power, and Loki had probably done something very, very stupid. Finally, she put down her finger and beamed, as if eagerly awaiting his reaction.

"Loki? What did you just do?" he asked very gravely.

"I made a promise," she replied simply.

"What kind of promise?"

Her smile dropped to form an annoyed pout. "Are you not touched at all, Kusanagi Godou? I just made a Divine Vow for you!"

Oh no. Oh no no no.

Godou really wanted to feel touched. He really did, considering that Loki had really gone and done something rather extreme for his sake. He had no idea what a Divine Vow was, but he knew enough to guess that nothing good would happen if she broke it. She'd put her name on the line, after all. And because of that, any kind of sentimental feeling was discarded in favor of incredulity and concern.

"You're an idiot," he said, still slightly in a state of disbelief. "Do you even know what happens if you don't keep it?"

"Nope. And I don't intend on finding out. I meant what I said, Godou. This is how far I'm willing to go. Do you understand now?" At this point, Godou realized that his fingers were still interlaced with Loki's. "I want you."

"No." It took more effort than he would have liked to admit to say that lone word. "You don't. And you shouldn't. Loki, I'm not supposed to exist. My very presence is a threat to everyone around me. Including you, Loki. Don't go around making reckless decisions for my sake just because you want a Campione in your Familia."

Loki's wince was noticeable. Godou had never intended to phrase it nicely. He needed to be honest now. He regretted not nipping whatever feelings Loki had in the bud when he had the chance to. But now with the Divine Vow in place, Godou no longer had any excuse. He'd messed up. He should've confessed from the very start, or at least distanced himself from her. Now she'd gone and done something irreversible. He had to let her know exactly what she'd gotten herself into.

Even if it meant becoming her enemy.

"Is that how you see it?" she asked, hurt. "Well, I don't care. You're wrong. I want you, Godou, not a Campione."

"Loki-"

"In fact, I don't

care that you're a Campione!"
