They had just returned from their first major battle. Really, it shouldn't have been considered that much of a battle… until the end. In the end they had all been surprised and if Heimdall hadn't been watching they may have ended up dead (and that was not an easy feat). Loki had never been more thankful for the guardian until that moment.

Of course the moment they landed on the other side of the bifrost he rushed to Thor's side. His brother had been stabbed in the shoulder just before Heimdall had transported them. Loki knew Thor was a quick healer, as they all were, but Thor was his brother and he worried over his well being.

Loki called magic to his fingers, creating an orb of healing magic which he pressed into Thor's shoulder. Thor's deep chuckle made his eyes rise from his work. "Don't laugh brother; this could have been a serious wound."

Thor raised a hand and wrapped it around Loki's wrist; his gaze was concerned and focused on Loki's forehead. "You shouldn't worry about me when you are injured yourself."

Loki blinked and raised a hand to his forehead. Pulling his fingers away he saw that they were now covered in a purple substance that he could only guess was blood. Loki shook his head, which made it spin but he ignored that not wanting to worry Thor. "It's not mine," he said. "I need to see to the others."

Blue eyes watched as Loki's lean form stood and swayed. Thor was on his feet and had a supporting arm around his brother's waist before he could fall. "You are not used to using so much magic brother. You need to rest."

"I'm fine," Loki stressed. His magic wasn't strong enough yet, he needed to prove himself. He attempted to take a step away from Thor and if it hadn't been for Thor's arm around his waist he would have fallen flat on his face. As it was though Thor scooped him up in his strong arms.

"You are not fine," Thor replied. Loki pouted, knowing any struggle he gave would be in vain. Finally, as Thor started the walk back to the palace he gave into the spinning and leaned his head against Thor's shoulder.

"I only want to be your equal," he whispered as darkness danced around the edges of his vision.

"You will be," Thor murmured pressing a kiss to Loki's head.
