After months of me struggling, here it is. Open Up chpt 3. God I hope this doesn't suck ass. I’m posting this late at night as well so let me know if anything is wrong.

Read on Ao3

Riding around on the motorcycle became a sort of therapy for Stephen. Driving around, feeling the wind on his face, ignoring everything except the road in front of him. It calmed his mind after a nightmare, helped him sort out his thoughts on a case. And driving to the crime scene was just what he needed to help clear his mind after the minor disaster that happened just a few minutes ago. Although he couldn’t exactly just clear his mind.

Loki’s oddly cold arms were wrapped around his waist, not too tightly though, just tight enough so that he wouldn’t fall off. But it was still a distraction, a constant force in his mind reminding him why this whole wouldn’t work out. Especially with someone who could spot lies as easy as Loki, seriously, Stephen didn’t even realize that he was technically lying until Loki called him out on it. He was telling a half-truth really, he really didn’t like people trying to help him out when he didn’t need it, but of course, that wasn’t the only reason he didn’t want to have a partner.

This whole entire side of his life was built on lies and half-truths. His files saying that he went to the police academy were fake, the files that said that he never actually became a doctor after he got his degree was fake.

Almost everything about his past that they knew about was fake, and the only reason they hadn’t found his actual files yet is because he’d used magic to keep them from seeing them. It felt wrong to be doing it, it felt dirty somehow, he consider everyone there a friend of his and he never liked lying to friends. But he had to keep it up. He wanted to keep his job, and he had a feeling that if they did find out then they would fire him, then probably try to arrest him.

And now that Loki was here--now that Loki was his partner he had to be careful with what he said. Careful with what he did. If Loki got too close, finds out too much then this side of his life could disappear within an instant. And he knew what it felt like to have his life come crashing down around him and he wasn’t prepared to go through it again. Even if he did have the mystic arts to turn his full attention on if everything here went wrong.

Stephen shook his head as he turned on to the street of the crime scene, he needed to forget about all that for now, no matter how much he didn’t want to. He had a murder to solve.

The whole street was spotted with police cars, some of them were there helping direct traffic, but most of them were in front of just one building, which was a bar if what Steve had texted him was true.

Really, it was pretty cliche for a murder to happen at a bar, but it happened much more often then most people would expect. People got drunk, then they got angry for no reason, then a fight would break out and someone got killed. Which made Stephen shudder when he thought about it too much.

He pulled up next to the curb, making sure he’s parked a little bit away from the police cars, he didn’t like the fuss it took to get out of there. He turned off the motorcycle, stuffing the keys into his pocket and quickly kicked the kickstand down.

As soon as the click of the kickstand could be heard Loki’s arms pulled away from his waist. Loki got off the motorcycle at what seemed like an inhuman speed, he turned back but instead of looking at Stephen his eyes went to the metal of the motorcycle. Loki frowned.

“You messed up my hair,” He mumbled, reaching up to fix his hair, using the reflection in the metal to guide him. Stephen rolled his eyes, yes Loki’s hair was a little messed up, but not anything that couldn’t be easily fixed. Stephen got up from the motorcycle.

“Well, sorry princess, I didn't expect anyone to be riding with me today, but I'll make sure to bring a helmet with me tomorrow,” Stephen said with a mad twinge to his voice.

“I don’t need a helmet,” Loki grumbled, almost sounding mad that Stephen even suggested it. Loki took his hair out of the bun, leaving him in a low hanging ponytail. “In fact, if anyone would need one, it would be you,” He said quietly, so low that Stephen was sure he wasn’t meant to hear it. But he heard it anyways.

“Really? You actually think that I would need a helmet even though I've been riding for almost four years?” He said, not technically lying. In real-time, he’s been riding for about a year. But if you count the time he’s spent riding around while time was paused, that would add up to about four years.

Loki rolled his eyes. “Thought you would be all for wearing helmets Mr. Doctor,” He said, starting to walk towards the crime scene at a brisk pace. Stephen sighed, almost feeling relieved that there was no sign that Loki thought he was lying. He quickly caught up with Loki, falling into step with him. “I am Loki, I just don’t wear one,”

“You do know that you’ll die if you crash, right?” “Of course I do asshole,”

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Loki look at him curiously but Stephen just kept his head straight, wanting this to end as soon as it could. Just so he could stop being annoyed by a constant presence next to him.

The rest of the walk to the bar was filled with tense silence, only broken by the quick hello Stephen gave to the policeman at the barricade tape while Loki ignored them both at kept walking.

Stephen took one step into the bar and already knew that this was going to be a big one. The bar itself was pretty small, only a few booths and tables surrounding a moderately sized bar with what felt like way too many officers and forensic investigators inside. Though, it was pretty much destroyed. Glass was absolutely covering the ground, some of it from glasses and some from bottles of alcohol, which made the air smell even worse somehow. There was clearly a struggle, it didn’t take a detective to figure that out.

Loki looked around, putting his hands in his pockets as his eyebrow’s knitted together.

“Where’s the body?” He questioned, rightfully so, the only sign of a body being there was a pool of blood on the floor.

There was a shutter of a camera behind them before a voice spoke up. “She was still alive when we got here, but She died on his way to the hospital so She’s being sent up to Dr.Banner,”

Stephen smiled a bit as Peter Parker stepped around them, still looking down at his camera. Peter, even though he was only seventeen, was somehow one of the best forensic investigators the NYPD had. Only being bested by Scott Lang.

Loki smiled a tiny bit. “It’s good to see you here Parker,”

Stephen cocked his head a little bit, how the hell did they know each other?

Peter looked up at Loki and smiled. “Great to see you too Mr. Loki, and you too Detective Strange,”

Stephen nodded. “It’s nice to see you, Peter, although, I didn’t expect you two to know each other,” He pointed a finger at both of them.

Peter laughed a bit. Reaching up to rub the back of his head. “Well, uh, I had a break in a case I was working with Thor and Val so I rushed over to his house because he wasn’t answering his phone and Mr. Loki was over there so after we caught the guy I got to talk to Mr. Loki for a little bit, right?”

Peter nervously looked over at Loki, who had his eyes narrowed on Peter as he spoke. Loki took a deep breath and sighed. “Yes, I believe it was the Maximum case,”

Peter nodded quickly. “Yeah, that case, really cool,”

“It was a triple homicide,” Stephen pointed out, recalling some details of the case that Valkyrie told him.

“Everything was cool except that part, obviously,” Peter said.

Loki shook his head. “Shouldn’t we be getting on with this case?”

“Yeah, right, on with that,” Peter tapped his fingers against his camera before turning on his heel a gesturing for them to follow him to the middle of the room. “So,” Peter started. “I haven’t found out too much yet, mainly because I’m not really allowed to talk to the witness, who’s in the back right now by the way,” He pointed to a door that said ‘employees only’. “But, here’s what I got, our victim, Kat Una, was bartending here and talking to the witness, who’s also her boss just so you know, then some dude came in, there was a fight, then she was dead,”

Stephen looked around, then looked back at Peter. “That’s it?” He asked. It was good to know that there was a witness-extremely good actually-but still, most of that was something he could have figured out as soon as he came in here if he had some more context clues.

He glanced away and worried his lip. “I’ve only been here for ten minutes, and most of that’s been just collecting glass with blood on it and dusting for prints,”

“Haven’t you checked the camera’s yet?” Loki asked, slightly pointing to one of the security cameras in the corner.

Peter sighed. “I tried to, but all of the batteries were drained about ten minutes before the police were called, which I’ll look into don’t worry. I just...need to get back into the lab before I do that.”

Stephen nodded, then turned to look at the bar. The shelves were broken, along with a few kegs. Most of the barstools were knocked over or broken in some way.

“Must have been one hell of a fight,” He mumbled, trying to figure out how it went down. He’d been in way too many fights, most of them included magic or monsters of some type, but it still didn’t change the fact that he should be able to figure out what happened.

“I’m going to talk to the witness,” Loki said, moving past him to the back door. “Coming with? Or do you just want to stare at everything some more?” Stephen painfully rolled his eyes. “Christ I'm coming,” He said, he’d rather question the witness with the human lie detector than by himself, or just have the information come second handly. Loki stiffly nodded, pulled the door open and walked in. “Alright, I’ll just uh, stay out here, looking for shit, I’ll text you guys stuff as I find it,” Peter said. Stephen smiled at him before following Loki.

_________

The backroom smelled of smoke, making Loki flinch slightly. Midgurdians had stupidly dangerous habits, and smoking just happened to be one of them. Loki personally hated smoking, too much potential for something horrible to happen. The room was pretty simple, there was a couch pushed into the corner, a table with some chairs, and some cubies lined up against the wall. Sitting at the table was a blond woman with a green blanket wrapped around her shoulders. She looked up as he and Stephen walked in. Her face was stained with tears.

“I take it you two are the detectives here?” She asked in a thick New York accent. Loki wrinkled his nose at her, god he couldn’t wait to finish this. He might be a lie detector but he still hated interacting with Midgaurdians. Stephen came to a stop beside him and smiled. “Yes we are, I’m Detective Strange, and he’s Detective Laufeyson. We need to ask you some questions,”

Loki glared at Stephen from the corner of his eye. Of course, this asshole was good with people, he shouldn’t have expected anything less really.

The woman sighed. “Alright, take a seat and I’ll tell you everything you need to know. I’m Hannah by the way,” Loki quietly sat down at the table as Stephen sat next to him.

The room was almost still for a moment before Loki cut it with a knife. “What happened?” He asked, thinking of the most simple question she could answer.

Hannah took an audible breath, her hand’s shaking a bit. “I....i sat down for a drink with Kat after a long shift when some....man walked in, I was about to kick the asshole out when Kat said he was an old friend and that she needed to talk to him alone for a moment,” Hannah looked down and clenched her fist. “Next thing I know I hear a crash and when I came out Kat was out on the floor,” Loki looked at Hannah oddly. So far so good, no lies or anything, but that just made Loki want to push her further.

“Was it just one crash? Because I don’t think that mess out there could be caused by one crash,”

Stephen gave him a dirty look but stayed silent.

“I honestly don’t remember, everything before I saw Kat is kinda a blur now,” Hannah said. Loki clicked his tongue. The one thing his natural lie detection couldn’t get through was memory loss.

“Then why don’t you tell us about Kat herself?” Stephen asked.

“Like do you know why anyone would want to kill her?” Loki quickly added on.

“No, no I don’t think so,” Hannah said and a haze came over Loki. He zeroed in on Hannah. Hannah’s eye twitched, just the tinest bit, so tiny that normal people wouldn’t even notice. But Loki wasn’t really considered normal, right?

“You do like Kat, correct Miss?” Loki asked, folding his hands on the table.

“Yes, god yes of course I do, we’ve been friends since, well forever,” She said, laughing bitterly. “Then, please explain why you're lying to us,” Hannah looked at him like he was insane as Stephen stared over at him with bewilderment.

“I’m sorry?”

“Your left eye twitched, so your lying,” Loki said. “And there has to be a good reason for that,”

Hannah put a hand up to her chest. “I’m not lying Detective,”

“Well, I hate to say this-actually you know what I don’t, Miss you are lying and you better have a damn good reason for it. Unless you wanted your supposed friend to die that is,” Loki said calmly, it was a long shot and he knew it, Hannah seemed perfectly innocent. Yet it was easier to put some pressure on the witness for them to answer truthfully. It always worked on Asgard at least.

There was a sudden thud. Loki looked over to see Stephen slam his hands on the table.

“Alright that’s it Laufeyson we’re going,” Stephen said as he got out of his seat, glaring at Loki. He glared back at Stephen.

“Hannah we’ll be in contact with you alright?”

Hannah nodded, seeming a little scared then Stephen grabbed Loki’s wrist with surprising strength and dragged them out of the room, slamming the door behind them.

“What the hell was that all about?!” Stephen asked.

“I have no idea what you're talking about,”

“You basically accused her of murder,”

Loki shrugged and crossed his arms. “So?”

“So?! That’s all you have to say?” Stephen groaned and rubbed his temples with two fingers.

“Alright, we’re leaving,” Stephen said.

“I’m sorry?” Loki raised an eyebrow.

Stephen sighed and stuffed his hands in his pockets. “We’re leaving,”

“And why the hell are we doing that?”

Stephen deadpanned. “Because you just did that whole fucking thing and I don’t even know how to recover from that. So we’re going to question her later so she doesn't call a lawyer or some shit. And I swear to god if you pull something like that again I’m just going to ditch you,”

Though he hated to admit it, Stephen had a point. He might have gone a little too far, humans were way too weak to just brush of being accused of murder. Which was tragic, really.

“Fine, I’ll just investigate out here for now,” Stephen shook his head. “No, we’re leaving the crime scene completely, we can always come back out here if we need to,”

“Then pray to tell where are we going?”

Stephen smirked. “The victim's apartment, Peter just texted the address to us,”

And Loki, despite himself, smiled a little bit. He might just get excited over this.

Cutie Reviews: Tokyo Treat Jan 19

“We said burr, it’s cold in here and there’s some delicious snacks in the atmosphere! We got our cheer set to celebrate the upcoming New Year and winter season. To help set the mood for the upcoming year, we decided to help spread some happiness with a fun Winter Wonderland themed snack box! Expect to find a lot of fun snacks that will keep a smile on your face as you enjoy the winter wonderland weather that is coming up. Our idea was to find snacks that will keep you feeling happy and warm on the inside no matter if you are cuddling up indoors or are out enjoying the brisk weather!“

Parade Milkshake & Nerunerune DIY

As usual, I will be covering the DIY in a separate post; but for anyone unfamiliar, Nerunerune is one of the most popular and well-loved DIY candy kits one can find online or in Japan. It has come in many variations and has evolved over the years, and in this box we could get one of the most simpler kits they have released, featuring a fluffy whip-like candy fluff with candies.

Our main feature in this pic is the drink, the Parade Milkshake. This drink contains egg and milk, and is meant to emulate an actual milkshake, but with a thin milk consistency. Each can is only 47kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Because it’s been in the fridge, the can has been extremely cold- it’s perfect for summer! The flavor sort of makes me think of winter (and pudding, and McDonalds ice cream)... but at the same time, I think it would have been “too chilly“ to really enjoy during winter. Unless you enjoy being cold, which I do.

It tastes really good, I was kind of surprised because I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I’m pretty sure I mentioned this before, but lately I haven’t been into pudding due to an “incident“ where I got sick for a week, and I’m not into milk either; but I really liked this. It didn’t bother my “milk sensitivity“ either.

Cotton Candy

This is probably the one item in the box that actually did give me “winter vibes“. You get that too right? But it also fits summer too since you see it a lot during summer at fairs and festivals.

Anyway, we have some kawaii cotton candy as our next item :3 Now, according to the package it did expire back in April, but it seemed fine. This bag of cotton candy is 46kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I LOVE cotton candy~ But I’m pretty partial, I prefer it have some flavor other than just sugar. That and it’s white color just made me feel bored. Another hindrance is that like any other cotton candy, once opened it begins to harden to the point of being inedible- so you need to keep it closed up tight.

Meanwhile, the package is absolutely adorable~

Custard Chocolate Bar & Balanced Nutrition Chocolate Brownie Bar

Anyone whose been a reader of this blog will probably recognize both of these items/brands. But lets remain optimistic :P

Our first item is a Gudetama themed chocolate bar featuring a chocolate and custard flavoring. The bar consists of two tin wafers with layers of chocolate cream between them, a white layer on the top wafer, followed by the custard layer, giving the chocolate. Each bar is 115kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I’ve been pretty tired of these since they always seem to be the same to me, but I didn’t really mind this one very much. It was actually pretty good, but that might have just been because the regular chocolate flavor overwhelmed the entire thing.

Our next item is the Kinosei (health snack) of the month, a chocolate brownie bar from Glico. This nutritional bar is packed with various vitamins and minerals to keep one feeling energized throughout the day.

Each bar is 98kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥

It was okay, nothing too special to me. It did remind me a lot of a brownie, but had an off-putting after taste I wasn’t very fond of. I also can’t guarantee the whole “energizing“ thing works since I ate it in pieces and I finished it now, half-asleep.

Lucky Taiyaki Snack & Giant Chocolate Bar

If you didn’t realize it yet, this box was filled with chocolate. Not necessarily a bad move or anything- but (as much as I dislike it) maybe they should have done white chocolate to fit the season more?

Our next item is a Taiyaki, which again you’ve probably seen on this blog numerous times. For anyone unfamiliar, taiyaki is a fish-shaped cookie or pancake-like dough snack filled with chocolate, fruit, cream, or red beans. These specific snack ones are filled with airy, bubbled chocolate to give it a very light and crispy texture that melts in your mouth.

The brand who made this one is Meito, and each fish is 88kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I love eating these, it’s a 10 out of 10 delicious would recommend snack. It has a light sweetness to it and the chocolate taste lingers in your mouth for a little while after eating.

Our next item is this very impressively size chocolate “puff bar“. It contains peanuts and is coated in both them and chocolate, so it’s not a snack for anyone with peanut allergies- I hate peanuts so I wasn’t too sure how I would feel about it personally.

The entire bar is 162kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥

It’s actually not terrible. I love the crispiness and the chocolate is there, but it has a strong bitterness that I suspect might be peanut, and I can’t say I like it too much- but it’s not bad? But eating a segment of it was enough for me, and I found myself giving it to someone else.

Strawberry Tiramisu Kit Kats & Crunchy Panda Cookies

At this point we are now reaching the last of the chocolate products for this box. First up we have another party pack bag of Panda Cookies :3 I love these, they’re super-cute and they taste good. For anyone who may not recognize these, these are chocolate molded into various panda expressions (70 in total!), with a “panda-esque“ cookie behind the chocolate, giving it a crunchy and sweet taste.

These are by Kabaya and are pretty common to find online. They even have DIY kits (which I did try before, it was pretty fun). The party bag consists of 6 packs, each featured various designs, puzzles, or comics. They also support protecting panda bears from endangerment.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I’d like to say I was biased because I love panda bears, but they do taste really good too. You get crunchiness from the cookie, and the chocolate tastes like both milk and white chocolate. Again I’d recommend these.

Our other item (also a party bag) is the special strawberry tiramisu kit kat. This flavor is special as the #1 voted Want To Try Flavor worldwide to celebrate kit kats 45th anniversary.

Each pack is 64kcal, and features the sweet and sour flavors of a strawberry with a light, smooth coffee mixed in.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

First of all I’d like to say that as “charming“ as its meant to be, I kinda find the art on this pack to be repulsive. I don’t know why, it just looks so weird and goofy to me. I wish they had gone for something more... food-ish, to bring out the appeal of the flavors.

It looks like a white chocolate, but it tastes strongly of strawberries, so I love the flavor. But you just barely get the “smooth coffee“ flavor it describes, so I wouldn’t call it 100% accurate.

Savory Wheat Crackers & Cheese Umaibo

Now, onto the savories; there was surprisingly a handful of them. I say surprisingly because this is the second month in a row where the box had a balance of sweet and savory (not counting the drink or DIY), I really wish they kept this trend up.

Anyway, we have a pack of 2 wheat “crackers“, featuring salt and natural oils from Okinawa to give them a savory salt taste. The “Snack Menu” in the pamphlet says the bunny’s image plays a part in their “winter” theme. But to me the flowers automatically give me summer vibes. Again.

What makes this snack concerning is that for just 2 of these, it’s 405kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥

I’ve never been huge on wheat, but I grew up on it whenever I was at my grandmas so I got used to it. But these don’t even taste like wheat. They’re crunchy and salty, and kind of remind me a bit of a cone.

I like these, but the huge calorie count is a big turn-off. Only because I think for such a high count, you’re better off eating something filling; these aren’t enough to get someone through the day until their next meal, unless they eat really small portions normally.

The next item I won’t be reviewing because I’ve gotten it several times, and have reviewed it several times. I’ll make this short :P I’ve never been a big fan of the cheese umaibo, but I find the more I eat it the better it tastes oddly enough. It didn’t exactly taste like cheese to me when I tried it, but now I can say it actually does.

Salty Seaweed Puffs & Shrimp Sticks

The coloring for these two items actually look very different in person. First will be the Seaweed Puffs, made from salt and rice with a sprinkling of seaweed flakes to blend the flavors together.

Rating: ♥ ♥

The flavor is pretty light, I can’t say the salt taste is stronger than that in the wheat crackers. I was kind of disappointed that the seaweed flavor was really light too. They’re not bad though, the texture is pretty nice, but they are already kind of stale and it makes their appeal even... lesser.

Our other item is the share pack Shrimp Sticks by Calbee. These we’ve gotten before so I don’t think I’ll be rating them again; but I will say that each bag is 31kcal, and because of their small size you get a decent amount of them per-serving. I actually like these because the fishy taste is light, and I enjoy the crispy texture.

Black Pepper Chips

Our final item are these pepper-flavored chips by Koikeya, a popular chip brand known for coming up with some unique flavors. We’ve seen it a few times in Tokyo Treat, but this is a new flavor to grace our presence.

Each bag is 283kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Seeing these, I was very excited to try them because when I was younger, I loved eating pepper chips (or salt and pepper chips, I don’t remember), and I really like pepper sauce, which the scent of these strongly reminded me of.

While they smell of pepper, they taste strongly of it too :D and instantly kick in the spice as you eat them. Strangely, I get a “jerky“ taste too from these, but I love jerky so I’m not complaining at all. The chips are crunchy and delicious~

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Content - 4.5 out of 5. There was only one item I wasn’t very fond of, but I didn’t find it unbearable and could tolerate eating it. The drink was good, I love the DIY kit we got and am excited to make it next. There was some repetition in this box though...

Theme - 2 out of 5. I’m probably giving it pity points honestly, I feel bad in saying this but I can barely see the theme they were going for. A lot of it oddly gave me summer vibes- but it’s entirely possible that I’m feeling it because it is summer now...

Total Rank: 7 out of 10. The items were tasty but there wasn’t too much special about the box because I was used to so much of it already, I also kind of wished they had toned down the chocolate or given us something fruity- besides the DIY. I also failed to see the theme, which I feel a bit disappointed about. I’m really hoping next months box isn’t too chocolate oriented (and again I am a chocolate addict, so that’s really saying something), but considering its the Valentines Day box...

♥ Cutie’s Scale of Yummy ♥

1. Pepper Chips - they smelled delicious and tasted even better! Extremely would recommend!

2. Strawberry Tiramisu kit kats - It might not contain both flavors described (at least to me) but I LOVE the strong, overwhelming strawberry taste~

3. Cheese Umaibo - Every time I eat this, I end up liking it more than last time. The first time I tried it I didn’t like it at all, and now I kind of enjoy it :P if you’re like me I’d suggest giving it a few tries and see if your opinion changes like mine did.

4. Panda Cookies - As much as I like these... a small part of me is kind of tired of them. Granted it has been some time since I last had them, but...

5. Taiyaki Snack - I love the crispy texture mixed with the melty chocolate~

6. Milkshake Drink - Going in, I wasn’t sure what to expect other than some kind of malty drink; but it wasn’t like that at all. It had a really strong vanilla-pudding-ice cream taste

7. Cotton Candy - I really like cotton candy but I’m not into the plain sugar variant. I prefer flavor.

8. Gudetama Bar - Oddly the flavor was pretty good this time, usually I’m not too crazy about these bars. Maybe it’s growing on me.

9. Wheat Crackers - I liked these more than I thought I would, but they were still kind of boring in comparison to everything else.

10. Shrimp Sticks - I’m not huge on seafood (unless it’s sushi) but these are pretty good. As much as I complain about light flavors, I think here it works for the snack.

11. Brownie Bar - It was okay, I didn’t really have too much of an opinion...

12. Seaweed Puffs - I was really disappointed these didn’t have a stronger flavor.

13. Chocolate Puff Bar - It wasn’t bad, but as I said, I’m not big on peanuts and I really didn’t find myself wanting more after a few bites.

probably my living room back home, i used to always curl up on the couch where there’s the most light with a book and a blanket and just exist knowing my family was somewhere close, and i could look out the window and see the world outside. by the time i left for college i slept out there more than i did in my own bed tbh. at college tho, i definitely feel happiest in the hall lounge (my hall is so codependent and cute i love us) b/c there’s always someone to talk to or cuddle with or just exist with, too. so it’s kind of the same deal as what i needed back home.
