*Realm of Asgard*

°Thor°
*drinks a bit clumsly*
*slowly calming down a little as he feels Loki near him and as he hears his voice*
Brother..
*looks in his direction but not really looking at him since he is still some kind of dreaming/sleeping*
*breaths unsettled*
*his eyes fluttering shut again as he feels your gentle touch*
*leans agains your hand*
*calms down again*

°Loki°

*he is worried, he gas to admit that, Thor's uncertain state makes him chew his lip nervously and stay close to his brother; he doesn't dare to move him again, not wanting to cause him pain or ripping the wound open again that he healed*

You are such a fucking idiot.

*he mumbles silently and sits close to Thor, taking one of his big hands in his own*

//Aparently my touch calms him...but how even, he didn't even trust me before. Maybe it's all because of his fever.//

*he leans back and drinks some water, trying to find a position where his aching bones won't bother him but everything hurts and his magic is still too weak to heal him compleatly; he closes his eyes for a moment and as he opens them again they land on the scepter, beautifully glowing in the soft light*

//I should take it. Nobody will ever find out if I say it got hit by the same magic as Thor and got destroied and it will be a great help to me, I could even heal Thor with it.//



*a small smile crept on his lips and the touched the scepter with onr hand, his other hand still holding Thor's, with his soft touch he let the scepter dissapear, he claimed it as his and he will keep it now*

°Thor°
*squeezes Lokis hand tightly as if his scared Loki would leave him again*
*still getting bad dreams every  now and the and sleeps restless* *holds Lokis hand for dear life at that times*
*then he calms again an sslees calmly*
*this mix of calm and restlessness goes on for hours, mixes with some groans of pain*
*after a long while of calm sleep he slowly wakes up*
*opens his eyes and the first thing he sees are the big trees above them*
Where.. am I..?
*still feeling dizzy*

°Loki°

*he got what he wanted now, even without putting up a fight and he should feel happy, but he isn't; Loki watches Thor's struggle with furrowed brows and concerned eyes, he truly is worried about his brother, the man he grew up with*

//He will be alright... I will bring him back to Asgard alive.//

*he wants to sleep so badly but every time his eyes dare to fall shut he flinches back awake either because he thought to hear something or because Thor nearly crushes his fingers, yet he doesn't let go, doesn't dare to let Thor think he is alone*
*and then finally, after hours of dizzy daydreaming Thor wakes up, his blue(?) eyes shining in the soft light pf the faiding day*

Thor~

*Loki's voice is just a husky whisper and he leans over his brother's face, cupping the other's cheek with his free hand*

Your fever cooled down...you need to drink something. Don't move!

*he fishes out a bottle with water to let Thor drink*

We are still in Vanaheim, deep in the magic forest, we are save here.

°Thor°
Loki..
*whispers*
*drinks obeyingly*
*tries to sit up bur his back hurts*
Angh..
*somehow  manages to sit up*
W-what happened? Loki are you alright? Are you hurt? I'm sorry.. *not even caring about his pain*

°Loki°

*he frowns at Thor's painful groan yet helps him sit up as he tries*

Do you ever listen to me? I told you not to move you stubborn moron.

*sighs and carefully leans Thor at the wally of the glider, making sure the scares on his back are not touched too much, he puts the blanket over Thor's muscular bare chest to keep him warm since the sun is going down and a cold breez is rising*

You..you got hit by dark magic. And-

//You saved me. I thank you brother, you were so brave..//

And I healed you. But you still have to be really careful, I can't fix you together again, my strength is gone for now. I am fine. You should not worry. I think we should stay the night here and think about what to do tomorrow.

*his gaze had driften off to the leaves above but now find Thor's face again*

Try to sleep more. You have to rest, you need to heal. I have no food for you though...that would help...

°Thor°
*chuckles softly at Lokis comment but it soon turns into coughing*
Hhahh.. I'm sorry..
*smiles weakly*
*flinches a little as he leans against the wally*
*smiles at you as you carefore him so much*
Thank you brother...
I owe you my life. I'm sorry that I caused you so much trouble..

*nods slowly*
Okay..
*still feeling tired*
*shakes his head slowly with a soft smile*
Don't worry about that.. You did more than enough for me..
*leans his head onto your shoulder*
Loki...? May I... May I stay like this for a little while? You can shove me away if I bother you... *mumbles insecure*

°Loki°

*he watches Thor carefully, his green eyes soft and still full of concern*

Don't say that...you don't own me anything. I couldn't have let you die. Nobody but me is allowed to do that.

*he tries to crack a joke but he feels the odd truth behind his words*

//He is the one who cares for me after all I've done, yet the one I blame for all the hate and unloved years. Nobody but me should dare touch him..//

*he didn't feel how close they sit together until Thor rests his blond head on his shoulder and he can just blink in surprise; he doesn't struggle or shove Thor away*


I told you not to move so I won't move you.

*he smiles softly, his lips just curling slightly and he puts the blanket over both their bodies so they share their body heat*

This is only because you are injured and I hate to take care of you kid, understood?

*he shoots Thor a short glare but softens soon after, even brushing some golden hair out of Thor's forehead*

Try to sleep again..

°Thor°
*watches Loki allmost getting lost in his bright green eyes before looking down shyly*
*chuckles*
Still.. Thank you..
*smiles ast he allows him to lean on him*
Thank you.
*enjoys your warmth*
*chuckles*
I know.. I'm sorry..
*his heart beating faster as Loki's gentle gesture to brushing his hair away*
Okay.. You should rest too you must be really tired..
*looks up at you worried*

°Loki°

*night is surrounding them by now, little glowworms drift around under the leaves and the nightly sounds of the forest are soft and calming; Loki feels his muscles relax under the warmth of the hmbig body snuggled against him and he let it happen, let it happen that he enjoys how close Thor is and that he wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now*

I can rest soon enough. I need to watch over you and make sure you are alright, you still owe me a bath and I will get back at your word as soon as we are back in Asga- ...


*he trails off and bites his lip, looking down and away from Thor*

They will throw me back in my cell... And Sif will definitly try to kill me. I have to bring you back to Asgard but that will mean the end of my freedom again...

*he looks troubled, his eyes shifting from shadow to shadow as if Asgard's warriors are already behind him*

°Thor°
*sighs softly*
*flutterting his eyes shut*
*opens them again as Loki gets serious*

I won't let them! I promised to get you out of there!
I will convince them that there is no need to worry, that you were a big help getting the scept- wait where is it?
*suddenly panics an touchs all over his belt*
No..! 

*suddenly makes a heartbreking sad face*
*not because he lost the scepter itself but because he lost the only ticket for your freedom*

°Loki°

*now it was getting critical for him, Thor had realised the scepter was gone and seemed compleatly sad and horrified, because of what exactly Loki couldn't understand*

Thor...sssh. Look at me.

*he gently cupped Thor's cheek and made his brother look at him*

The main point of this was to keep the scepter out of the hands of whoever attacked you, right? And father doesn't know you planned all this...so it's better the scepter is lost. It got destroied by the same magic that hit you.

//I'm sorry Thor, but the scepter is my own last ticket to freedom and I won't give it uo just yet.//

*he tried to calm Thor down with soothing words and gentle touch, hoping it would be ok. Hoping his own lies would not proove wrong*

°Thor°
*slowly looks up to you*
*widens his eyes*
D-destroyed? But that can't be.. it can't be destroyed...
*looks down again*
But.. how should I keep my promise now?
*his heart sinking at the thought that they could put you back in the cell*
*buries his face in his hands*
I have no prove anymore.. no prove of what you did for Asgard.. no prove that you are no harm.. no one will believe my words..
.....
I'm such a failure..
*mumbles*

°Loki°

*he is so troubled, seeing Thor all sad because he can't proov Loki's good act; he already is close to give Thor the scepter back but he thinks it's his last hope for freedom so he still keeps quiet about it*

Thor..brother look at me...

*he gentls pokes Thor's muscular arm to get the Thunderer's attention*

I didn't do it for Asgard. I did it for myself and-

*he takes a deep breath*

-and for you. I helped you because I wanted to and not because Asgard was in danger, they could have devended themselves.
If you fear about me then leave me behind, let me stay here... Nobody will find me.
You are not a failur, you protect Asgard with all your might and that's what you've been born for, yet I-

*he closes his eyes and hugs his knees*

I was born an enemie to Asgard and they will treat me like one, even if I bring back the scepter. And if you want to say that I healed you and saved the future king of Asgard then you are wrong again, I was too weak to heal you without help...and I did it because...because you are still my brother deep inside.

*he trailed off and stayed silent in the night, he hoped Thor would get the hit about the scepter because he couldn't tell him right away, he didn't want to; he loves Thor and his mother Frigga in his own way but he always had to fight for his own freedom and happiness alone and he couldn't just give one of the keys up*

°Thor°
*looks up slowly*
*listens to Lokis words*
For... me?
*his heart skipping a beat*
*looks at you*
Stay here..? Are you sure?
*sits up more ignoring the pain*
Loki.. Loki listen to me! *lays a hand onto your armes that hug your knees* That's not true! You were never born as an enemie to Asgard! Since you know that father lied to you.. you changed you got mad and upset.. I understand that but-- Why do you think that you have to be against Asgard just because one little detail have changed?
Nothing changed for me.. I don't care if you are Yotun, Aesir or whatever. You are still my brother and I still love no matter how much you might hate me..
*cups Lokis cheeks and makes him look him in the eyes*

I don't love you for what you are... I love you for WHO you are.

You still saved me Loki.. I would be death without you.
*sighs*
You took the scepter didn't you?
*says that surprisingly calm*
*feeling a bit disappointed that Loki lied at him yet again*

°Loki°

*he looks up as Thor rests a hand on his knee and listens to him with a unmoved face, not showing any emotions till Thor says he loves him;  he looks up at Thor and bites his lip*

I don't hate you Thor, and you really shouldn't move right now. The wound can still open again and then everything was for nothing.

*a slight sting of guilt rushes through his mind as Thor gets that dissapointed look in his eyes as he got the hint aboit the scepter*

//I have to tell him the truth...//

I- ...well yes. I cannot lie about that now. But I took it because I needed its help and still do or I can't heal myself. Let me keep it Thor...please?

*he hated to beg but yet he did it, giving Thor his most pleading look*

Let us stay here a bit longer, together. You still need to heal, you are not out of danger yet and I seriously would hate to see all my effort go to waste.

*he gently pushed Thor back to rest and wrapped the blanket around his brother*

If you don't rest and stay here I will run away and take the scepter with me..

//And I am not even joking about that. Heimdal should be able to see us and find Thor if something happens*

So will you stay here with me for a bit longer?

°Thor°
*smiles as Loki says he doesn't hate him*


*looks at Loki closely not saying anything for a while*
*sighs*
Okay.. fine.. keep it..
*can't help but smiling softly at Loki's pleading look*
*is pushed back*
*laughs*
Where do you expect me to go? I can barly move.. At least not without pain..

Oh yeah?
*catches Mjolmir and puts it onto your stomach*
Try to run now~.
*grins*
*nods*
Aright.. I will..
*smiles*

°Loki°

*he meets Thor's stare at the other eyes him, wanting to keep his dignity in this stupid, chaotic situation*

I told you not to move anyway you idiot!


*widens his eyes as Thor puts Mjolmir in his lap amd against his stomach, making him unable to move again*

Oh no you..you..take that thing off me!

*he glares at Thor but his expressions softens again as Thor agrees to stay in Vanaheim*

Really? You will stay here /and/ I can keep the scepter? Oh brother I could kiss you right now for finally using your brain a bit.


*he smiles even wider, his green eyes curling at the edges and exhales a long sigh, at least for now everything is good for him and Thor*

You should let me see after your back again and then we both need sleep, desperatly need it..

*he took an oil lamp and turned it on, putting it next to him on the floor*

Now could you take that huge thing from my lap?

°Thor°
*chuckles*
Sorry..

*laughs*
Who tells me you don't run away when I do?
//Then do.. wait-- what am I thinking?//
*blushes lightly*
*smiles back as wide*
*seeing Loki so happy makes him happy too*
//I never thought I would ever see him smile this brightly again..//
*nods*
Okay..
*chuckles again and takes Mjolmir away*

°Loki°

*he groans softly as Thor takes the heavy hammer from his lap and rubs his thighs*

Next time please don't put that thing on my soft parts between my legs ok?

*Thor's soft chuckle raise his moo, more than he ever thought such a simple sound could do; he turns Thor a bit to the side by his shoulder and removes the bandage from Thor's back*

It's still closed...but the skin is still red and green and blue and all sore.

*he furrows his brows and runs his fingers just slightly over his brother's back, letting some of his magic flow over the sore skin to ease some pain*

Alright. Now please try to sleep. Best would be if you lay down on your stomach..

°Thor°
*flinches as Loki touchs his wound*
Angh..!
*whimpers as pain shots through his body again as Loki work his magic*
*breaths heavily*
*nods slowly and carefully lies down on his stomach with a slightly pained expression from the movement*
*looks at Loki*
Loki...?
W-will you... will you stay with me?
*blushes lightly at his question*

°Loki°

*he sighs softly as Thor whimpers and a pained expression crosses his handsome features*

//He needs more rest, and he needs food and warmth...warmth of another person. Wait no I meed to stop thinking that. I saved him to save my own life. Nothing more...//

*he couldn't even believe in his own lies and decided to stop thinking about it; his gaze drifts to Thor's face again as the other asked him to stay*

That's a stupid question Thor, of course I will stay with you. I was the one wanting to stay here.

*he eyes Thor and pokes his red cheeks, thinking it is because of the pain*

Close your eyes now...

*he lays down mext to Thor, blowing out the light and pulling the blanket over both their bodies; he moves closer to the warm huge body of his brother and rests his hand on Thor's side, letting healing magic flow into Thor slowly and steadily*

Sleep well.

°Thor°
*smiles happy at his answer*
*looks down shyly as you poke his cheek*
*slowly closes his eyes*
*snuggles against you*
*suddenly grabs you hand tightly as he feels your magic*
Don't.. You're going to be even more exhausted if you keep healing my wounds non-stop.
*looks at him worried*
*squeezes his hand a little actually liking his touch*

°Loki°

*he has already closed his eyes, silently and secretly enjoying the warmth of his brother as Thor suddenly grabs his hand and he stops his magic from the surprise*

Shut up Thor.

*he frown slightly but relaxes his expression again*

I mean..please just let me take the pain away till you are asleep. Some of the magic can still be inside you and I don't want all my hard work go down into an ungly, stinking rotting wound. And stop worrying about me...

//Even though I really like it... I like how you worry, how you treat me so gentle despite everything. And here I realize that, away from everything, from our duties and dreams. You are still a part of my life Thor..//

*he gently pulls his hand from Thors and smiles warmly at his brother, resting his hand back on Thor's bare side*

°Thor°
I.. I see..
I'm sorry..
*his eyes fluttering shut*
*sighs at your touch*
*slowly and hesitatly sneaks an arm around your waist*
*loving your closeness and your warmth*
Sleep... well..
*slowly drifts off to sleep*
