*Realm of Asgard*

°Thor°
Sleep well dear brother..
Rest and recover..
*whispers*
Now is my turn to care for you..
*caresses your hair gently*
//Hm.. I should search for Lokis clothes but I don't want to let him along here.. he still needs warmth..//

°Loki°

*as Loki sleeps, his body seems to get heavier and he sinks down till he sleeps in Thor's lap, all cuddled and tangled up in the other's cape*

B..brother..

*he mumbles in his sleep, a single tear forming at his eye and he sighs silently*

D..don't leave me-

*he whimpers softly and moves around, the cape sliding from his shoulders and back, his bruises and cuts getting visible again, yet some slowly fade, healed by his recovering magic*

°Thor°
Shhh... I'm here..
*kisses the top of your head*
I wont leave you.. I promise..
*whispers*
*looks at the cuts sadly*
*his eyes wander to the scepter*
If I can heal him with that...?
*pull slowly pulls up the cape again*

°Loki°

*Loki's eye flattered slightly and he hears Thor speak to him, feeling warm soft lips on his forehead too*

//I must have died...but I feel good.//

Did you really just kiss me..? Or did I die amd just imagin this?

*he mumbles weakly and he smiles softly, his hand brushing against Thor's abdome*

And don't think about using the scepter..you couldn't control its magic.

*his eyes slowly open and his green eyes gaze up at Thor*

Your beard is growing..

°Thor°
*caresses your hair gently*
*smiles softly*
Well no.. you didn't imagine things..
*blushes lightly*
*shivers under your touch*
*sighs*
But I want to help...
*mumbles*
*looks back into your bright green eyes with his sky blue ones*
*chuckles*
Well I couldn't really take care of it..

°Loki°

*he rolls his eyes as Thor shows so much affection and caresses his hair, yet he doesn't move away*

I think I died and this is the realm of Hel and you are here to play with me...wait...

*he moves off Thor's lap and peeks under the cape, ignoring everything else Thor says*

Okay brother. Why by Hel am I naked?! Did you strip me?

*he widenes his eyes, something inside him gets strangely excited about the thoughg that Thor had done that but of course that wouldn't be possible*

W..where are my clothes?

*he wraps the cape tighter around his slim, yet muscular body, shuddering sightly; he is still sitting right in front of Thor, eyes looking at Thor with confusion, his green ones searching for the blue of his brother*

°Thor°
*blushes*
W-what? No!
*shakes his head quickly*
You wanted to take a bath and went away to the river, but suddenly you came running back naked, screaming things like a stag stole your clothes...
*raises an eyebrow when he thought back on that weird scene earlier*
I quickly threw my cape around you because you where freezing.
And then you fainted into my armes...
*mumbles*
..and I stayed by your side to keep you warm..
*looks away shyly*
I didn't came to search for your clothes yet...
*his eyes wandering around nervously looking anywhere but Loki*

°Loki°

*he titles his head and runs his fingers through his messed up hair to fix it while he listens to Thor carefully, the other's story confusing him even more simce he can't remember anything that happened*

I..I see. T..thank you Thor.. For taking care of me.

*he blushes slightly at the thought that Thor saw him compleatly naked and crazy, only thinking about it made him groan in embarassment*

By the nine, it must have been the magic. I am sorry you had to see me like this. My ...because I wasn't concentrated the magic around us dizzied my senses and made me halluzinate things. I bet my clothea are still where I left them...

*he looks down in his lap, the red cape covering him; he still can't tell Thor how weak he feels even though the other must see it now*

I..I think I should get my clothes. And then I need to look after your back again. I must have been hard to get up and catch me.

°Thor°
N-no problem..
*smiles*
Alright.. stay here brother I go get your clothes.
My back can wait. You have to rest.
No don't worry I'm much better by now, your delicious soup gave my strength.
*smiles*
*slowly stands up*
I'll be right back.
*goes search for your clothes*
*finds them near the riverside*
*picks them up and quickly comes back to you*
I found them.
*smiles*

°Loki°

But- no! You shouldn't get up. You shouldn't even move!

*as Thor doesn't listen to him he pouts slightly, frowning as his brother got up to get his clothes*

When you are back I will look at your back again!!

*he huffs and lays flat on the ground, closing his eyes again while he waited, he actually enjoyed having a moment of peace and the sun and warm air warmed his body, Thor's cape covered his lower body but his chest got some rays of sun; as Thor comes back, Loki keeps his eyes closed and hums softly*

How are you feeling...?

°Thor°
*chuckles*
Allright, alright..
*waves as he leaves him*
---

Shouldn't I ask you that?
I'm fine.
*smiles*
I'm making progress.
I mean I can't jump around let alone fight.
But I can move normaly without pain.
*lies a bit in that it still slightly hurts but he doesn't show it*
Your magic does wonders!
*places your clothes next to you and looks where he can go now*
I think I can't even hold Mjolmir for a longer while..
*mumbles*

°Loki°

*he looks at his clothes as Thor puts them down beside him and the back up at his brother, eyeing him suspiciously*

Sit next to me. And don'r try to argue.

*he comands his brother so naturally, knowing that Thor is not well yet and he feels strong enough again to heal him; he waits till Thor is beside him, not moving out of his lieing position since his muscles and weary bones thank him so much for the rest*

So hoe do you intend to get back to Asgard when you are in one good piece again? Ask Heimdal or rely on me again?

*he was really curious, and he was curious is Thor would take him back to Asgard, he really didn't want to, he liked it to do whatever he wanted and as much as he enjoyed the intriges at the royal palast he got bored of them easily and after all he had no place there anymore*

°Thor°
*grumbles as Loki orders him to sit next to him knowing that he's being stubborn again*
*flops down next to him still straightfaced*
....
*stays silent for a while*
*sighs*
//Why are things so difficult... I don't want to have my brother get prisoned again but not a single person in Asgard trusts him... If I let him here and just visit him father will find out an get him prisoned again... What do I do?//
*runs his hands through his hair frowning at the ground*
*doesn't answer Loki and thinks for a solution*
//Maybe I should just stay here...//

°Loki°

*he chuckles softly at his unwilling brother and smiles pleased as Thor still listens to him, he reaches a hand out to his brother, resting it at his side once more and let his magic do the rest of the work; he watches Thor intently as the other thinks and frowns at the ground*

The ground doesn't know the answer either... If I may say something? I know I don't want to stay here... But I neither want to be back in prison. I want to see mother again... I know Odin would want to throw me back in my cell but aren't you the prince? And I think still heir to the throne, right? Does your word not have any value?
Oh and don't think of staying here, I want a bath and a real bed, even my cell was better. Even tho the air is better here..

*of course he could still run away, take the scepter and run for it, but something inside him hold him back, hold him at Thor's side and after all he was still weak himself and searched by some nasty figgures of universe, so Asgard didn't sound that bad*

°Thor°
*sighs again at Lokis comment*
*slowly looks up and listens to what Loki has to say*
Well I'm not so sure about that, I got banned once too, remember?
But yes I thought of convincing them that I take responsibility of you, meaning not leaving your side and having an eye on you,.. I'm not sure if it will convince father but I will do my best to do so..

°Loki°

*he blinks at Thor, his green eyes getting darker and his lips twitch*

Does that mean you will be my guard dog or what? Watching me day and night? Come on brother not even you would want that, you couldn´t go anywhere without me.

*even though he was complaining, the thought of always having someone around him, especially Thor, made his heart a bit lighter and less lonely*

//And I could annoy Thor all the time, oh Hel how much I would enjoy that.//

*a slight smirk appeared on his lips but he quickly hid it, letting his magic stop streaming into Thor´s back*

Well I guess my faith is in your hands...even though I can´t guarantee to run away. I still remember Midgard as a rather nice place-

°Thor°
*shrugs*
It's the only possibility that comes into my mind and besides...
*looks Loki in the eye almost meaning full*
.. I don't mind having you be my side all the time..
*mumbles*
.. more the contrary..

*chuckles*
Wouldn't surprise me..
*smiles lightly with a hintn of bitterness*

°Loki°

*he hears his brother mumble and rolls his eyes, yet something tickled inside his stomach and he felt all warm all of a sudden*

Oh brother your sentimental side is going through with you again. And beside, you can't know if Odin even allows it. But...but if I could see mother again that would be nice...

*he glazes at Thor, his expression softens*

Did you know she always send an illusion of herself down to me? To talk to me...keep me some company when nobody else did. I think Odin wouldn't have allowed it anyway.

*he closes his eyes again and his arm drops back to his side where he lays on the ground*

Brother...Thor, I will run until I find my right place to stay.

//And this will be hard. I belong nowhere, not in Jotunheim, not in Asgard nor in this wonderful woods of Vanaheim. I am all alone...//

°Thor°
*chuckles*
Maybe..
Yeah.. that's the problem..


*smiles*
Yeah.. that'd be nice..
*looks at Loki*
Yes mother told me...
*smiles softly*
I was gald that she did..
......
*stays silent for a while*
*watches Loki lying down*
*says really quite, barely audible*
.. I wanted to visit you too.... but I thought I was most probably the last person in this universe you would want to see... so I didn't dare to...
*looks down*
*listens to Lokis last words*
Why not running to me...? Your always have a place by my side..
*says without thinking*
*blushes as he realises what he just said*

°Loki°

*as Thor talks silently, Loki opens his eyes again, watching Thor´s face carefully, emotions moving deep within him yet his eyes stay cold and calm, not giving him away, oh much he wanted to comfort his brother but he didn´t know how, lost his emotions that were not anger or rage long ago*

Thor...don´t apologize now. It´s over...after all you got me out of there even though it was just because you needed my help to steal something. All you did was serving the king of Asgard and his commands. Even mother said it was my own fault I ended up down there...guess it really was. Now say no more about it.

*he sees how Thor looks down and then his gaze drifts lower, over Thor´s tanned broad chest and down his stomach, there he sees a white scar among other smaller ones, he knows that scar, he knows how it happened and it makes him feel guilty; the scar he gave Thor himself on that Tony Stark´s tower, he stabbed his brother with a knife, no not his brother, Thor, the avenger, the thunder god and the person he hated less than everyone else; he is dazed off as he lifts his fingers, running them over the softs skin at Thor´s stomach and over that one scar*

mmh..?

*his gaze is still fixed on Thor´s abs and he didn´t quiet get what the other was saying*

Run to you...? Oh Thor if only it was so easy, I would run to you. But who would I be if I only run to you? Still a liar, a thieve and hated. They would try shove me away from you again and I have to stand alone once more.

*he slowly shakes his head and sits up, Thor´s cape only covering his lap now and his raven hair curls over his shoulders*

I am weary Thor, I don´t want to talk about it now. Please let it rest...let us rest and we can get to this later.

//And now give us a kiss and we can take a nap-//

And now give us a kiss and we can take a nap-

*he suddenly widened his eyes as he realizes he said his thoughts out loud*

°Thor°
//Not the only reason brother... I also missed you...//
*just nods understanding*
*shivers lightly at your touch*
*sighs softly enjoying it*
I don't care what others think.. I wont let them.. I don't let you alone..
*watches the cape sliding down*
*gulps barely visible*
*runs his fingers through your hair gently*
*nods*
Alright.. I understand.
*blinks surprised allmost shocked at Lokis last words*
*his heart beating really fast*
//And now give us a kiss...//
*the words keep ringing through his ears*
*his body moving on it's own as he starts to lean closer*
*his mind suddenly going blank and before he knows his lips are placed onto Lokis*

°Loki°

*he doesn't move away as Thor runs his fingers in his black hair, even slightly leaning into the touch*

T..thor I-

*he stutters all of a sudden, everything he wanted to say is forgotten and he freezes in place, unable to move and enchanted by Thor's golden hair that curls around his strong jawline and blue shining eyes; as Thor leans in, everything inside him screams, wants to run, yet wants to stay and then he feels soft lips on his own and his eyes widen even more*

//So this is the feeling of being kisses, really being kisses but by my /brother/! No..not brother. He is just Thor..//

*his thoughts run in circles yet he stays calm against Thor, his lips just slightly parting in disbelieve*

//BY THE NINE YOU ARE KISSING THOR YOU MORON!!//

*with a sudden gasp and his cheeks bright red, Loki pulls away, cupping his cheeks and hiding his face*

°Thor°
*only realises what he did as loki pulls away*
//BY THE NINE WHAT DID I JUST DO??!! THOR ARE YOU MAD??? He will kill me! What the fuck is wrong with me?? Why do I feel so weird when I'm near him? Why is my heart beating so fast? Stop it!//
*panics inside*
By the nine! I-I-I-I-I'm sorry!!
*turns away his cheeks also bright red*
I don't know how--
I didn't intent to--
I--
*stutters doesn't even know what to say*
*wants to hide in embarrasment*
//How could this happen..?//

°Loki°

*he is still in shock as Thor starts to stutter an apoligie, his wide eyes slowly fix on his brother's, no /Thor's/ broad figgure in front of him*

//What by the nine just happened?? Did he really kiss me? That's wrong, so wrong!//
//But it felt right, even perfect. His lips..they are so gentle and his beard tickles just a bit. That kiss...was better than all lies and tricks.//

*two voices fight inside his head as he stares at Thor, his cheeks still red like freshly spilled blood*

I will go to Hel for this..

*he mutters and justs slaps Thor's cheek out of the blue*

Do you know what you just did?!

*and without giving the other a chance to reply, he presses his lips on Thor's, closing his eyes this time*

//Just to be sure that this is totally wrong...//

°Thor°
I'm sorry, Loki!
Please forgive m-
*his head flying to the side as he gets slapped*
*doesn't move*
//I deserve it..//
*is taken aback and his eyes widen as Loki suddenly kisses him again*
//Why does something so wrong feel so right..?//
*kisses back almost without hesitation and his eyes also fluttering shut*
*Lokis lips on his is a the most incredible feeling he ever felt*
