Summary: A poem about the conflict Loki has with letting Thor know how he truly feels about him. Angst. Slash.
AN: Yo! I've been buzzing around the Avenger's fandom for a little while now and just thought I should post something us so I can give back to the author's whose stories I've been reading.
An Honest Smile
Sometimes he smiles, though often times he doesn't mean it
However, sometimes he does mean it
But he won't tell
And sometimes, just sometimes he loves his elder brother
A little more than he wishes he did
Because Thor is not his brother
He won't tell though
Because he doesn't want to
And he shouldn't have to
It's just in his nature
To avoid unnecessary commitments that can hurt him
Because no matter how many times he's been knocked on his godly backside
No matter how many flabby humanoid faces sneer at him from time to time
It doesn't really hurt, because he honestly doesn't care for what they think
He is a demi-God after all and he would not sink so low
Because he has standards
But Thor,
Thor hurts him in a way that is not unpleasant or unwanted
And Loki cannot find it in himself to cast aside the longing that he feels
Sometimes he loves his elder brother
More than he probably should
Sometimes he revels in the feeling
Knowing that he is Thor's favorite too
But most days he is frightened by it
Because he is the God of Mischief and Lies
And such things are not so common for him
He who would smile sweetly
And stab another in the back with his lips still curved so beautifully
He who would charm the Devil himself cannot always smile for his brother
Because sometimes he means it
He really, really means it
And that is a frightening thought, because sometimes-
He likes it
And the God of Lies should not like something so honest
AN: Hope you enjoyed it! Loki is so tsundere, but I think Thor with his big puppy eyes and charmingly silly grin can get under that frosty exterior. (Worst pun ever, but I regret nothing. XD)
