*Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own Loki and Thor and whichever other Norse gods are in my story. The idea however, is mine. Thank you :)
Chapter One
Thor walked down the hallway of the palace of Asgard, searching for his brother. Allfather had told Thor that it was soon that he'd be sent to war in Yodenheim, but this time without Loki. Distress and frustration burned inside of Thor, until he finally spotted his dark haired brother with three others. The others, Tyr, Modi, and Vidar, were standing around Loki and Loki looked very unhappy. As Thor grew closer, he heard the three calling Loki a dugga*, a eldhúsfífl*, and saying he was hvers manns níðingr*. Rage burned in Thor's eyes as he walked up to the other demigods.
"You dare call my brother such names?" Thor demanded loudly. Tyr threw his hands up to defend himself and began to say something, but was cut off by Modi's voice.
"Just apologize and we can leave," he said quietly, not letting his eyes leave the thunder god. Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, was in his hand, his knuckles white. Tyr scowled but sighed and spat a quick "I'm sorry" before the three turned and walked briskly away. Thor was about to go after them when Loki placed his hand on his arm.
"It is fine brother, let them go." Loki said gently. Just hearing his voice made Thor start to calm down, and he turned to face his brother. There was hurt in his eyes, from the remarks the others made, but now there was a flicker of happiness at seeing Thor. The blond dropped Mjolnir, the thud it made echoing down the hallway. Thor wrapped his arms in a protective hug around his brother, nuzzling his face into Loki's warm neck.
"Brother, you are not an idiot. Their words are lies," Thor said, anger still lingering in his voice. Loki hugged Thor tightly around the waist, leaning his head against Thor's.
"I can handle it Thor, don't worry." Loki replied, closing his eyes and enjoying the warmth of Thor's body against his. Thor closed his eyes against Loki's neck, making him shiver slightly as it tickled his skin. The raven haired man felt Thor tense somewhat, making Loki worry.
"Loki, I must tell you something." Thor broke away from the hug, looking into Loki's gorgeous eyes. Loki looked concerned, staring at his brother and searching his eyes. Thor's eyes only held sadness now, and Loki was confused.
"What is it?" Loki asked. The blond's eyes darkened and he sighed, not wanting to tell his brother of the upcoming war.
"Allfather has told me that I am to lead an army into Yodenheim, tomorrow. There will be war." He said, after a few tense seconds of silence. Loki began to smile, and Thor knew he didn't understand.
"We are going to war? As long as you fight by my side-," Loki started to say, but Thor stopped him with a shake of his head.
"I am going to war Loki. You are not," Thor said, seeing Loki's excitement break in his eyes and immediately be replaced by anger and sorrow. Loki looked down at the ground, searching for something to say. They'd never gone to war separately before, they always fought together.
"Maybe if I ask Odin, he'll let me go too." Loki said, looking back up at Thor. Thor sighed heavily, picking up Mjolnir and putting his free hand around Loki's waist. He pulled Loki until he started walking with him.
"I have asked, and he has refused. He says that you must guard Asgard with him." Thor replied with no more anger in his voice, however there was sadness. There were no more words exchanged until they reached Thor's chamber, entering and closing the door behind them. Thor put his hammer down beside the bed, and pulled Loki into a loving embrace. The fire god hugged Thor tightly, burying his face in Thor's chest.
"I don't want you to go Thor," Loki's voice was muffled slightly. Thor kissed the top of his brother's head and stroked his hair gently.
"I have to Loki. But we've fought in Yodenheim before. It should not be a long battle." Thor reasoned. The thunder god felt his brother tremble slightly in his arms. Pushing him carefully, Thor made Loki back up enough to see his face. The mischief maker was trying with all his might not to shed a tear, but his efforts were futile as one rolled down his cheek. Thor wiped it away with his thumb, cupping his cheek with his hand. Loki always liked the feel of Thor's hands; they were rough from years of battle and wielding Mjolnir, but they had a certain tenderness to them.
"Do not cry Loki," Thor begged softly. The larger man tilted his head down and placed a warm, loving kiss to his brother's lips. The younger kissed him back, another tear going down his cheek. Thor stepped closer to Loki, putting his arm around the dark haired man's waist and drawing him closer. Loki smiled through the kiss and wrapped his lanky arms around Thor's neck. They kissed multiple times; some soft and loving while others were aggressive and needy.
"Thor, I love you." Loki whispered. Thor's lips moved to Loki's jaw line, kissing him gently and trailing them down his neck. Loki let out a soft moan of pleasure, trying to pull his brother a little closer.
"I love you too, Loki." Thor murmured in his ear. Loki shivered, feeling Thor smile against his ear. Gently, Thor picked his brother up with only the arm around his waist and laid him down on the large circular bed. The covers were of many different furs sewn together, and it was soft and welcoming. Thor climbed on top of Loki, straddling his hips and placing his hands on either side of Loki's head.
"Let us make this night a memorable one." Thor said in a low voice. Loki grinned at that, loving the mysteriousness and suggestiveness of Thor's soft voice. Loki opened his mouth to agree with Thor, but was stopped as Thor's mouth crashed to his in an open mouthed kiss. Loki knotted his fingers in Thor's stunning blond hair, forcing his face closer. The room slowly grew darker as the sun set on Asgard, and Loki could soon only see the outline of his perfect brother and feel his warmth on top of him.
Loki felt Thor stop kissing him and sat him sit up. He reached the ends of his shirt and pulled it off over his head, revealing even in the darkness his flawlessly muscled body. Loki ran his hands over Thor's abs, smiling in delight. The fire god knew however, that even though Thor's body was seemingly perfect, it was tattooed with horrific scars everywhere. Loki followed his brother's lead after a minute of feeling, taking his own shirt off. Thor chuckled softly in the darkness, touching Loki's stomach.
The fire god was definitely not as muscularly defined as Thor, but he did have decent abs and decent chest muscles. Thor's warmth washed over Loki as he leaned back down to kiss him. The night continued like this, gaining intensity, until both men collapsed together atop the fur covers. Thor reached down and pulled them up to cover their bare waists, and then put his arm around Loki's more fragile body.
"Thor, you will come back right?" Loki asked, sounding like a child. Thor smiled against the skin of Loki's forehead, kissing it tenderly.
"I will return to you, one day. I promise." Thor replied. Loki nodded and moved closer, falling asleep in Thor's arms. Thor stayed awake for a while longer, listening to his brother's steady breathing and feeling his heartbeat. Reaching up to his neck, Thor touched the necklace Loki had given him for his birthday. It was half of a heart, that when combined with its other half made a beautiful silver heart. It was also a locket, and inside was a picture of his beloved brother. Thor had gotten an inscription on the outside of his that read "Loki" in beautiful cursive, while on the inside it said "My heart belongs to thee, forever". Loki's had "Thor" written on the front, with the same on the inside.
Thor fell asleep then, holding Loki close for as long as could, since the moment the sun began to peek over the clouds, Thor would be gone and Loki would awake alone in Thor's bed.
