... Don't hate me, but I'm doing another story. This one is kind of fluffy, but sort of depressing sometimes.
Ages
Thor - 7 (in Midgardian years, of course :))
Loki - 4
"Go away, Loki!"
Thor pushed his little brother on the ground angrily.
"Don't you want to play, Thor?" Loki asked, sadly.
"No, I'm too old to play with babies," Thor said, glaring at the dark haired boy.
"I'm not a baby!" Loki cried, tears in his eyes.
"Yes, you are. You're crying!"
"No, I'm not!" Loki said, wiping a tear that had fallen. He stood up again.
"You're mean, Thor! I just want to play with you! Ever since those stupid friends of yours came along, you've been pushing me away! It's not fair!"
Thor punched Loki in the arm, and that caused him to cry.
He ran out of Thor's chambers and into his own. Loki slammed the doors closed and slid down them, crying angrily.
"It's not fair, he was my friend first!"
Loki looked up. He felt truly lonely. He and Thor had had fights before. It was natural, for they were brothers. But they were fighting more often ever since one year ago, when Thor began training, and he met new friends. Loki had been jealous, and ask his mother if he could train. She said he could, and began to teach him magic.
Loki had liked learning magic, but sometimes he would be teased. He had been teased before, but Thor always stood up for him, but now Thor was with the kids who hurt him.
Loki laid on his side, and covered his head with his hands.
"Everyone hates me!" He cried.
"Your mother doesn't hate you."
Loki jumped up. He saw a girl his age, standing a few feet away from him.
"How did you get in here? Who are you?" Loki asked.
"I'm your new friend!" the girl said. "My name is Era."
Loki walked towards her, and she smiled kindly.
Her hair was black and curly, her eyes bright green. Her skin was pale as his own.
"Where'd you come from?" Loki asked.
"Can I stay? I'll be your friend."
Loki nodded. "I need a friend."
"I know. So do I,"
Loki reached out to grab her hand, but as soon as his fingers grazed over her own, she shimmered green and disappeared.
"Era?" Loki squeaked. She reappeared.
"Hi, again."
"Where'd you go?"
"I don't know. Maybe we aren't supposed to hold hands." She giggled. They sat down.
Era held her hand out, and a small ball of green light appeared. Loki did the same.
"Mother has been teaching me magic. How'd you learn yours?"
"I don't know!" Era said, and she giggled again. "It's funny isn't it?"
Loki smiled.
They both did different spells together, and darkness fell soon. The room was filled with green sparks.
"I like this spell. It's my favorite," Era said.
"Mine too!" Loki said.
The door opened, and Frigga appeared.
"Loki? Are you alright? The guards say you've been in here all day," she said worriedly, walking forward.
"Oh, yes! I made a new friend! She-" Loki turned, but Era had disappeared. "She disappeared again," he said sadly.
"Perhaps she is shy," Frigga said gently picking Loki up. "It's time for you to eat, Loki."
She kissed his forehead and they left the room.
Loki entered his room after dinner and looked around in the darkness.
"Era?"
A green light flickered, and Loki smiled.
"Why did you leave again? My mother is very nice,"
Era gave him a small smile. "I know. But, I don't want to meet anyone. Just you. You're not very scary, like other people are."
Loki crawled into his bed.
"I have to sleep now," he said.
"Me too," Era said, and she crawled in next to Loki. She yawned, and fell asleep.
Normally, Loki had difficulty sleeping, but that night he drifted to sleep knowing he wasn't alone.
