Loki hadn't recalled a single day when Thor and he had not been together. They grew up as brothers do, by never leaving each other's sides. Of course Thor was always more popular with the other children, in general he was easier to get along with. But Thor always made sure Loki was included in the games the other kids would play, being the good brother he wanted to be.
Loki was book smart, and liked to spend time in the library studying anything he could. He wasn't fond of talking to people, only when it was necessary. Thor would always wander into the library and sit with him; it was moments like that when Loki truly loved Thor.
That didn't mean Thor didn't drive Loki to want to throw him off a bridge. Loki could distinctly remember the time when they were practicing fighting in the arena. Thor had decided to have an; I'm stronger then you and I can prove it battle.
"Come one brother! Show me what you got!" Thor yelled from across the field, receiving an annoyed look from Loki. "Why don't you show me what you have?" Loki corrected Thor. "This isn't a battle on book smarts brother, because you see, here in this arena, I'll win." Loki rolled his eyes, "I can imagine you will, after all I have the brains in the family." Thor snorted, "Brains don't win wars, and actions do!"
Thor ran at Loki aiming his fist at his brother's face, but at the moment his fist should have struck Loki, Loki's image vanished and Thor fell to the ground. "When are you not going to fall for that?" Loki shouted from where Thor once stood. Thor quickly got up, "When will you quit using the same tricks!?" Loki laughed, "As soon as you stop falling for them!"
Thor charged at the laughing Loki tackling him to the ground. "Thor get off of me!" Loki yelled as the wrestled each other in the dirt. "Quit laughing at me then!" But Thor was laughing too; you could say the two were making such a noise a little crowd had gathered.
"What on earth are you boys doing!?" Frigga had been told of loud shouts coming from the arena, and from what she knew no one was scheduled to be training. She made sure to let her boys know when it was alright for them to mess around in that area, and she was worried to hear that people had been heard out there. So you can imagine it came as a shock that it was in fact her boys who were the ones making the entire racket.
Thor and Loki instantly went quiet as their mother rushed towards them, "What are you two doing out here? I was worried sick that men had been training and that you had gotten hurt!" They both stood up and bowed their heads.
"Frigga, what's this racket I keep hearing about," Odin arrived next, his eyes digging into his son's souls, or that's how Loki described it. They both knew they were in for it, big time. Frigga explained the situation to Odin, and how worried she was.
Now it was Odin's turn to scold them; "I have told you boys; there is to be no playing in this arena! What if you had gotten hurt just as your mother said! This is not the place for you and your silly games!" Loki and Thor flinched in unison. "Now, what possessed you two to go against our orders?"
Thor looked at Loki, and Loki looked at Thor. They didn't know what to say, though the both knew the reasons for their actions and with knowing that, they knew it was completely idiotic.
"Prince Loki! Can you do that magic trick again!?" A small child from the group that gathered shouted, clearly unable to hold back his excitement. His mother covered his mouth as Odin snapped his head in their direction.
Odin look at the child then back at his own, "What trick?" The way Odin looked upon him gave Loki the chills, "I… The one…" Odin grabbed Loki's shoulders hard and shook him, "What trick does he speak of!?" Loki was suddenly terrified of his own father and couldn't speak. Odin sighed and ordered the people leave, and that Loki and Thor were to be in the throne room in fifteen minutes or else. With that the crowd dispersed and the two brothers ran as fast as they could have to the throne room.
