Brother,
Today is your birthday, brother and like always I came to see you, but I could not find you this time. I could not stand the thought of not seeing you on this day. I searched for you for hours. I went to the Metal Man when I could not find you because he has that talking house that knows everything. That was when I found out you were in prison. My heart broke, Loki. Thinking about you sitting in such a cesspool alone on your birthday made me want to destroy whoever it was that put you in there. I had to figure out a way to at least tell you happy birthday. Captain Rogers suggested I write you a letter and that is what I am doing right now.
Damn it Loki, when will you ever understand that I care about you so deeply there is a constant ache in my chest. I have cared about you since I saw you in Mother's arms and that feeling has only grown stronger each and every day of our lives. You could fatally wound me, brother, and I would still care for you just as deeply as I do in this moment. I have never gone a single day without thinking of you, Loki. I always wonder if you are okay and if you are happy. I wish you were not in there, brother. All I want to do right now is bring you home and make everything better. Apparently, these crimes you have committed are beyond my diplomacy and I cannot bring you home right now.
My mind keeps wandering back to all of the good times we used to have. I heard that Hey Brother song the other day I could not stop thinking about you and smiling. I remember you sitting next to me, relaxed from the mead with a slight flush in your cheeks singing along with that song. Remember that Midgardian book about "pickup lines"? You laughed so hard at the one that said Hey, I'm Santa. Come sit on my lap, I have a bone to pick with you. Tony got out that game box the other day to show Steve, the Nintendo 64. Remember when you used to sneak into my room in the tower and play that James Bond Golden Eye game with me until the sun came up? Those sacred nights were so special to me, Loki. Those nights you would let your walls down and look at me the way I looked at you. You are the only person in all the nine realms that matters to me, and those nights you made me feel like I was the only one who mattered to you.
I will never forget the day lilies and Carmelo candy bars you would leave for me on the night stand. I have had this weak spot for you for as far back as I can remember. I remember your first girlfriend. You brought her over while I was helping Fandral fix the yoke on his chariot. She seemed like a nice girl at the time. I realized she wasn't so nice the day she made fun of you for getting sunburned. The night was starting to set in and you got a chill because your skin was on fire from earlier in the day. I gave you my shirt and took you home and told you that you did not need a girl like that. A few weeks passed and you finally stopped courting her.
Whenever we are together I feel like I am on top of the nine. It feels like it was just yesterday that I tripped while I was staring into your beautiful green eyes and fell in love with you. I was in love with you before I even knew what love was. I thought these feelings would pass, because you are not supposed to feel that way about your little brother, but they only ever grew stronger.
Please write back to me so I know you received this. If you wish to see me, please put my on your visitor list. I miss you tremendously.
I will always love you, Loki, until Ragnarok come.
Thor Odinson
