Hello, all! So, I was rewatching Thor the other day for the umpteenth time, and I decided that I wanted to explore Thor as a character before the MCU began. So, this story is going to be a series of one-shots that range in length depending on both my Muse and what I feel I can offer. They are all going to be 3rd person POV, but I'm going to try to make them from Thor's POV as much as possible.
This particular drabble is very short, because I picture Thor as the equivalent of a two year old, and Loki the equivalent of a newborn. In my mind, this is set very shortly after the war with Jotunheim in 965 AD.
Now, I'm really not quite sure how to make the aging equivalencies work out, but I'm imagining that by the time "Thor" comes out, Thor is in his mid-late 20s and Loki his early 20s.
I really just wanted to explore who Thor is and his relationships with those we've met and some that we haven't. So, here's toddler!Thor with baby!Loki. Enjoy. :-)
Little Brother
Thor looked at the baby in his mother's arms. He poked him.
"Hello, little brother. I'm Thor. We're going to be best friends," Thor promised as Loki grabbed at his finger.
Frigga smiled softly. She made room for her eldest son, bringing him into her lap. He cuddled closer, and she helped him hold his baby brother.
"He's so little," Thor said, looking up at his mother.
Frigga ran her fingers through his golden hair. "That's because he is a baby. He'll grow, just as you will. Some day you will both be as big as your father."
Thor grinned. "His hair is fuzzy," he told his mother.
Frigga laughed. Thor smiled; he loved making his mother laugh. She had such a pretty laugh. It sounded like bells. He looked at little Loki in his arms, and he silently promised that he would always look after his little brother. No one would hurt Loki if Thor could stop it. Thor pressed a kiss to Loki's forehead and pressed as close to his mother as he could. She wrapped her arms around him, holding him and Loki to her.
And, yeah, I realize my author's notes are longer than the story itself, but I felt I needed to explain this a bit. I hope you enjoy, and I hope you guys stick around for the next little scene in Thor's life. I do know that the next one will be longer. I'm going to try to do them chronologically, but that might end up failing. We'll see. Hope ya'll have a good day, and please drop me a line to tell me what you think.
