Thor and Loki were enjoying falling asleep exhausted after pleasuring each other for hours with their hands and mouths, and waking up with arms and legs tangled together in the sheets for weeks now. But Thor had to go back to his training, he only had a few days left to enjoy his brother's company before leaving for who knows how long. Loki knew Thor had to go back as well and Thor could tell that Loki was trying to hide his feelings about his leaving again so soon after they had this new found joy in each other. But they had a few days left to savor each other's company and spend as much time together as possible. Several times a day, and after dinner they would disappear, Thor's friends were starting to wonder where he was disappearing to so often and not including them. They started to question him at meals in front of Loki and Loki lied about teaching Thor some magic healing spells to use in their training and in battle.
Lady Sif was the only one who looked a bit skeptical, she had her eye on Thor and she was noticing more and more silent glances and subtle touches between he and Loki as of late. At first she dismissed it as the brothers reconciling a tiff and becoming best friends again after so much distance, but she saw Loki blush when he had told them about the healing spells, neither of them looked her in the eye the rest of that evening.
The 2 sons of Asgard finished their meal and bade Lady Sif and the Warriors 3 goodnight before slipping out of the dining hall and back to Thor's room. Thor locked the door and proceeded to strip his brother of his emerald colored garments at once, his tunic, his boots, his pants, and Loki was stripping his brother of his glinting armor and ruby garments, all the while joined in a passionate, lustful kiss. They only had a few nights left to explore each other and they wanted to make the most of it. Their lips were finding more ways to pleasuring each other, their hands and fingers seeking out new erogenous zones, Loki's dreams proving to be a complete guide to each other's undoing. Tonight Loki's finger found Thor's opening and circled it with a lithe fingertip, Thor winced when Loki breached the tight ring of muscle there.
"Loki, that hurts, are you sure about that?" Thor was in pain but didn't mean to make Loki feel bad.
"In my dreams you loved this..." his brow furrowed a little as he trailed off in thought "Oh wait, hold on."
Loki must have left something in his room because he jumped up from the bed, wrapped a sheet around himself and ran out of the room, he came back a few moments later with a jar of something. Loki opened the jar and dipped his finger into the amber liquid.
"It's oil, it will help with this." He smiled and kissed Thor quickly on the lips, then went back to work, his finger slipped inside of Thor with ease this time. Thor gasped but felt instant pleasure building. Thor closed his eyes and Loki slipped another finger into him, he was sliding those long fingers in and out of him and listening for sounds of pleasure emanating from Thor. All of a sudden his fingers were gone and Thor's eyes opened to see why Loki had taken his beautiful fingers away, he saw Loki putting some oil on his cock and stroking himself to get the oil all over it, then the head of his cock was about to breach Thor's opening.
"What are you doing?" he looked a bit apprehensive.
Loki, compared to Thor, was a bit on the small side, but his cock was impressive. Thor was worried about the pain he was sure was going to come of this.
"You will like this I promise, I want all of my dreams to become a reality for us both. I want to pleasure you in every way possible." Loki looked at his brother, his eyes glistening, and Thor knew they would both hurt when he left.
The head of Loki's cock was still pushing lightly at Thor's hole, and all of a sudden the tip of it was in, then a little more, with each gentle thrust Loki made a little more of his cock was inside of Thor until Loki was to the hilt, he leaned down and kissed him full and hard on the mouth and before pulling away he breathed an "I love you, brother" into his ear. Thor wrapped his arms around him and started to gyrate his hips so he could feel the fullness that Loki created inside of him even more. Loki was right, he loved this feeling, he had never felt so close to anyone before.
Thor took his cock in his hand to stroke it while Loki started to thrust in him, slowly at first and gradually, as Thor's breaths got faster, so did he. As Thor's moans became louder, so did Loki's. Thor had stopped stroking his own cock and his eyes closed tightly, he wrapped his arms around Loki's neck and groaned loudly as he came. Loki thrust harder now as Thor came, the waves of tightness Thor's orgasm created drove him wild. He came deep inside of his brother, collapsing onto his chest to catch his breath. Thor rolled Loki over so that they were laying on their sides, this was the closeness he had dreamed of. He looked into Loki's eyes and realized that he had not reciprocated his brother's vocalized feelings of love for him and he pulled his brother close to kiss him deeply, passionately, hungrily again.
"I love you, too, brother." he kissed into Loki's creamy neck, the neck he would give anything not to leave.
Loki held onto Thor, he no longer felt he was living in his shadow, but standing on a pedestal in his brother's heart.
Loki twined his fingers with Thor's and just nodded his head, a single tear ran down his cheek and Thor kissed it away. He kissed as much of Loki's body as possible and back to his mouth where he lingered awhile before just holding Loki to him, his treasured love.
Thor had never seen such emotion from his brother before these past few weeks. Loki was usually placid, never showing his true feelings beneath the surface of his calm demeanor. He felt special that he had shown him a glimpse of the raw emotion inside of him, even if it was only as small as a single tear.
"I want to feel you inside of me too." whispered Loki.
Thor was hard again at the thought of being inside of his brother, but he was afraid he would hurt him. Loki may have had a large cock, but Thor was much bigger, taller, and thicker, and his cock followed that blueprint as well.
"Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you, I would not be able to forgive myself if I did." Thor frowned looking at his brother's small frame.
"Please Thor? Can we just try? If it hurts too much we can stop. I promise to tell you if I am in pain." said Loki as he kissed Thor's fingers.
Thor agreed they would try and he dipped his fingers into the oil as Loki had done. His finger slid into Loki's tight hole with some resistance, but Loki just closed his eyes and breathed a bit harder. When he felt he had loosened him up enough he inserted another finger, he repeated this until he had 4 fingers inside of Loki and he was moaning softly.
Loki finally propped himself up on his elbows to watch.
"I want you inside of me now." He said to Thor and handed him the oil to coat his erection with.
Thor wanted Loki so bad right now, more than he had ever wanted anything in his life. He spread his brother's legs and lifted them up to gain better access. He positioned himself so that his cock was pressing against Loki's opening. Thor slowly eased into his brother and Loki gasped, Thor stopped and looked at him to make sure he had not hurt him, but Loki nodded at him and motioned for him to proceed. Loki bit his lip with every small thrust Thor made, and following Loki's example, he was finally in his brother all the way. He felt amazing and warm inside of Loki and he all of a sudden had to break the urge to thrust hard into his brother. Loki wrapped his arms around Thor's neck, his legs around his torso, and clung to him as Thor thrust slowly at first and the a bit more rough until Loki was moaning and pulling at Thor's hair. Thor was in ecstasy, and from the noises Loki was making, he was too.
"Harder!" Loki almost yelled into Thor's ear and he obliged, going harder and deeper into Loki with each thrust. He must have hit a pleasure point inside of his brother because with every thrust Loki was gasping and whimpering, trembling and clinging to Thor, digging his nails into his shoulders.
"THOR!" Loki cried out in pleasure, possibly audible for the whole realm to know exactly what was going on behind that locked door.
Loki threw his head back when he came between himself and Thor, but Thor kept thrusting for a few more minutes before coming deep inside of Loki. They were both exhausted and collapsed into each other's arms.
"I love you, Loki" Thor took his lips away from his brother's for a moment, "I don't ever want to leave you again, not even for training, I don't care about anything but being with you."
"What if you don't have to leave me?" Loki asked with a smile creeping across his face.
"What do you mean?" Thor looked puzzled, no one but the warriors were allowed to join in on the training missions, and Loki was no warrior.
"What if I knew a way that we could be together without anyone ever knowing I was there and no one knew I was gone from the palace?" He yawned.
As long as they could be together Thor didn't care how it happened.
"I would like that very much." said Thor into his brother's shoulder. He pulled the covers over them, Loki was already on his way to sleep, a slight smile on his bruised lips.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Loki was getting dressed when Thor woke up, he noticed he was awake and leaned over the bed to kiss him good morning, he leaned a little bit too far, he lost his balance and Thor caught him to his chest. After kissing his lips he kissed his shoulders and his collar bone, down his chest and stomach before Loki pulled away, noticeably flustered and straightened his garments.
"I have a lot of work to do today, I have a lot of books to read. I will see you at the midday meal. I love you." said Loki before planting a kiss on Thor's temple and pulling his boots on.
He watched as Loki left and closed the door in a swirl of green. Thor felt suddenly so alone in his bed.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
At breakfast Lady Sif was still persistent to know what he and Loki were really up to, Thor told her the same lie that Loki had the night before about Loki teaching him healing spells to be used in training. She didn't buy it, Thor was a terrible liar and would not make eye contact during such lies.
She followed Thor everywhere that day and all Thor wanted was to do was go to his chambers to get away from her and lay in the sheets that still held the scent of Loki. He missed Loki already and it wasn't even time for the midday meal. Lady Sif followed him down the hall to his chambers and when he told her he had the need to use the chamber pot, and to please leave him to himself, she conceded to wait outside of his door until his return. When he entered his chamber he found a naked Loki sprawled in his bed reading a book and making notes in a thick journal, a large stack of books in too many other languages to count piled next to the bed haphazardly. Loki looked up at him, catching a peek at Lady Sif's back before the door was hastily closed. His face went white.
"What is she doing here?" Loki whispered annoyed.
"She has been following me all day, I had to make an excuse that I had to use the chamber pot. Such a way to have to speak to a lady to get a moment's peace!" hissed Thor, also noticeably annoyed. Thor paced the room, glancing at the creamy skin and glowing green eyes of his beloved laying on his stomach surrounded by books and ancient parchments in the middle of his bed. He gave in to his temptation and moved the books and parchments to the floor in one sweep of his arm. He climbed over him and started biting gently at his brother's earlobes, neck, and back, ending up with a passionate kiss and a noticeable bulge in his pants that Loki started to stroke through the thick fabric. Loki rolled over to face his lover and to more deeply kiss him, he started to untie the strings keeping him from his brother's erection, when there was a knock on the door.
"What are you doing in there?" asked Lady Sif, she sounded annoyed as well.
"I am laying down for a bit, I have a pain in my head, I'll see you at the midday meal." lied Thor, and Loki stifled a giggle.
"How about you use one of your healing spells then." she shot back at him through the door.
All of a sudden the door opened and Thor closed his eyes, he thought for sure that he and his brother had been caught in the act and he didn't want to look her in the eye. But he noticed that the warmth that had been next to him was gone, and he opened his eyes. Loki and the books were gone, it was just him laying in the middle of the unmade bed. He hoped she hadn't noticed the bulge in his pants or the fact that his pants were halfway unlaced, or the fact that his lips were red from the passionate kiss he had just received. He just wanted her to leave.
She must have noticed his clothed erection, because she sat down next to him on the bed and reached over to start stroking it through his pants while she leaned in to try to kiss him, he avoided her kiss and he pushed her hand away.
"What do you think you are doing?!" Thor almost yelled.
"I thought...I'm sorry..." suddenly there were tears in her eyes and she made to leave.
She stopped and stood at the door for a moment before turning back around, this time anger taking the place of the embarrassment that had just been in her voice and on her face.
"Is there another maiden you would rather have? Am I not enough beauty for the Golden Prince of Asgard?" she didn't wait for him to respond before continuing, "Oh wait, you can have any woman you want in all of the nine realms! Because I chose to be a warrior, am I too masculine for Thor Odinson?" she spat at him, she sounded hurt, there were tears in her eyes once again. He hadn't realized that Sif had harbored feelings for him, but he had nothing to offer her, all he had belonged to Loki.
"I did not mean to hurt your feelings, there is no other maiden, but you are my friend and I could never be anything more to you. I knew you were in love with me, I just couldn't bear to tell you that I cannot return your feelings, I feared I would break your heart. You have been and always shall be one of my closest friends. But I would not be a good match for you, you deserve so much better than I could ever be." said Thor trying to be sensitive to her.
"We grew up side by side, have fought side by side, have taken our meals side by side. I always thought that you were the one. I assumed that you knew of how I felt, but were just too bad with words or emotions to speak up. I thought my intentions were clear in the way I look at you everyday. My heart breaks every day that you don't acknowledge me. Now I know why, you never even knew. But know this, Thor Odinson, I will always love you no matter how daft you are! Someday you will realize what was right in front of you and wish you had not thrown it away on some nobody!"
The tears returned to her eyes, her voice catching on the emotions that were spilling out of her.
"Please do not ever speak of this again, as of right now I shall look at you as nothing more than a friend. I hope you know what you are letting go." and she turned to leave, slamming the door behind her.
All of a sudden there were lips on his lips and Loki materialized before his eyes in all of his naked glory.
"I thought she would never leave. What the hell was that about?" he said planting another steamy kiss on Thor's mouth and nibbling his bottom lip.
"How the hell did you do that" asked Thor, still pleasantly surprised by his sudden appearance.
"The same way we will be able to remain together while you are training. I read about some spells that haven't been used in ages, one allows me to be invisible for as long as I want and another allows me to transport myself and also objects to any place I like. When she came in I used the first to make myself invisible and the second to transport myself across the room as well as my books. i figured out a way to make them work together. It worked did it not?"
Thor pulled Loki to himself and kissed him deeply, now his dream could come true, he could go to his training and still come home to Loki at night in his tent, as long as they were quiet they wouldn't be found out.
"I never doubted you." Thor said when their kiss finally broke.
"Please tell me you love me, that you are not feeling pity for that woman?"
"I pity her, yes, but my love for you outweighs any other emotion." Thor kissed his nose, his mouth, his neck, fully intending to finish what they had started before being so rudely interrupted.
Loki's fingers went back to work on the laces keeping him from his prize. Thor's erection finally sprang forth, and it's length was being taken into Loki's mouth, his lips taut, a moan escaping and sending thrills down Thor's spine. Thor fumbled with the jar of oil kept in the bedside table, and Loki saw what he was up to and took some to lubricate Thor's cock. His fingers, still slick with oil, were then inserted into his own ass, and soon he was opened up for Thor. Loki was on his knees now over Thor's chest and was guiding the latter's cock into his now stretched hole. He sat down slowly, his eyes closed, taking t all in before starting to slide up and down it's massive length. Thor's hands found his brother's waist and pulled him closer, Loki bit at Thor's nipple, making him buck his hips and moan. The friction of this position made Thor's cock hit the spot that made Loki see stars repeatedly. Loki was moaning so seductively and Thor started thrusting harder up into him. Loki's gasping was making Thor harder with each thrust until Loki came, and Thor held him close and thrusted until he came too, Loki moaned again at the sudden feeling of warmth in the depths of his being.
"Mmm that was wonderful." Loki rolled off of Thor and tried to catch his breath.
Thor rolled over and rested on his elbows above Loki, gazing into his bottomless green eyes.
"Hmm? What are you looking at?" Loki blinked and looked away.
Thor gently grabbed his chin and made Loki look at him again, but he closed his eyes.
"I have looked at you so many times, but I never can get enough of you, you're all I see when I close my eyes." He kissed one and then the other of Loki's eyelids until he looked at him again, "You're eyes are so deep and green, I have never seen this shade of green anywhere but in your eyes." Thor kissed his lips briefly and rolled over to lay next to him.
"I do not know what you see in me, brother, you are the handsome one, no one has ever said anything of the sort about me."
"i just did. I meant every word. Do you have the need to hear it from another who does not love you like I do?" Thor's hand grasped Loki's and their fingers twined together.
"No, I am just at a loss as to why you would choose me over Lady Sif. She is so beautiful, a fine warrior, and a fine woman."
"I have never desired Sif, only you, it has only ever been you since I first knew what love was. You made me realize that love knows no bounds. There is no right or wrong way to love. I know this to be true, because of my love for you, it is real and it is never ending." He nuzzled his face into Loki's neck, oh that neck!
Thor was nibbling on Loki's neck, soft at first and then harder, Loki gasped when he bit a little too hard. Thor drew back and kissed the mark he left. Loki exposed his neck again to Thor and it was nibbled softly again until Loki rolled over into Thor's embrace. Loki kissed him deeply, he kissed too hard sometimes, but Thor kissed back fiercely. Their lips were always bruised these days, a welcome ache when they couldn't be together, a constant reminder of their love.
"I am glad that you are mine. Know that I am wholly yours and yours alone." Loki wrapped his arms around Thor's neck once again and laid his head on his shoulder.
"No one can ever take your place in my heart, Loki." Thor stroked his black hair and held Loki to him.
Neither could imagine a world without the other.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
At dinner Sif did not speak to or even look at Thor. The Warriors Three thought nothing of it, she went on bouts of not talking to one or all of them on a regular basis. Sif was the only one who was still suspicious of Thor and Loki and was determined to figure out what was going on. Thor and Loki had appeared at the same time in the dining hall and sat down next to each other again. When they arrived at the table, Sif got up and left the table to sit across the room at an empty table with her back to them. Thor and Loki sat with the Warriors Three as Thor always had and they talked and laughed and drank their mead until Loki excused himself to his bed chamber. Thor remained at the table but squeezed Loki's leg before he got up and gave him a subtle glance to imply that he would soon join him in his bed chamber. Sif who was pretending to ignore them saw Loki blush when he caught Thor's eye before leaving.
"Come with me, now." Sif broke her silence, she was standing over him with her arms crossed.
Thor stood and followed Sif into the hallway leading to the gardens.
"What is going on with you and Loki?" demanded Sif.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." said Thor, this time looking her in the eye.
"Oh, I'm sure... the subtle glances, the blushing, the arm touching? I've been watching you and Loki for weeks now. For over a year you barely said two words to each other, he didn't even come to meals in the dining hall. Then one day you two are inseparable again? Keeping secrets, and...oh my gods..." all of a sudden Sif seemed to have a new idea about he and Loki and she brought her hand up to her mouth in shock. She looked at Thor once more and he knew that they had been found out.
"What business is it of yours that I am spending time with my brother, he is my best friend. Sif you are mad! I do not know what you are thinking but I can assure you that you are wrong. We didn't speak much during that time because we were both so busy, I have been trying to make time for him. He felt alone when I left for training, I left and never thought about his feelings. I know you have never accepted Loki, he has the potential to be mischievous at times and he does not have many friends, but he is my brother and he will always be first in my life. You do not have the right to pry into my affairs because you are bitter over being rejected by me." he lectured Sif on her assumption, as true as it may have been, but he and Loki's relationship was not her problem to solve. He never meant for the last words to sound so harsh.
She stepped back from him, not knowing what too say or do.
"I am sorry, Sif, I did not mean to hurt you." Thor looked at the hurt that was etched in her face.
"You cannot hurt me, Thor Odinson, I just hope that your magician of a brother doesn't have you deceived into thinking that he truly loves you." she turned and ran down the hall, that last part about Loki deceiving him cut to the bone.
He watched her disappear around a corner and wondered how much she really knew. If Sif was trying to plant a seed of doubt about his brother's love, it worked but quickly died in Thor's mind. He knew what he and Loki had was real and deep and meaningful. He knew he had found his soul mate, his true love.
He sought out Loki to tell him what Sif suspected, he found Loki in his bed under the covers reading a book. Under the covers he was naked. Thor was growing accustomed to finding Loki naked in his bed reading as of late, he welcomed this new custom wholeheartedly. It wasn't even a whole minute before Thor added his clothes to Loki's pile on the floor and his own naked body to Loki's under the covers. He told him about being confronted by Sif after dinner and that he thought they had been found out. Loki shrugged it off, who would believe her?
Thor reached behind the headboard and pulled out their now almost empty jar of oil, and coated his fingers with it. It didn't take long before 4 fingers were inside Loki and he was moaning away making Thor hard for him again. He was eager to be inside his brother and Loki was already trying to guide Thor's cock into his now oil slicked opening. Thor slid in slowly and started thrusting, he had Loki on his stomach with his legs spread and his beautiful buttocks in the air, the sight and feel of his cock sliding in and out of his brother's stretched hole combined with his name being called mixed with "Mmmmmm!" and "Oh yes harder!" led to Thor's massive orgasm deep inside of Loki. Before he could recover Loki had Thor pinned on his back, smothering him with kisses and nibbles, legs spread and was coating his own dripping erection with oil. He slid in with ease, and started thrusting, all of a sudden Loki hit a spot that made Thor see gasp with pleasure and he kept hitting that spot as he neared his own orgasm. He and Thor both came at the same time. He couldn't catch his breath.
"There's no way anyone would ever think us to be together." Loki was on his back now, Thor's arm stretched across his torso.
"I know, but Sif has never been known as a liar." Thor's face was half on the pillow and half on Loki's shoulder.
"No, but I am. I have overheard things in this palace. Just because I practice sorcery and magic, they assume I am a trickster, a liar, mischievous."
"I know better, let them say what they want, I know you." Thor's hand caressed his brother's face.
"I love you." Loki rewarded Thor with a smile, something he had come to love about his brother.
"I love you, too. Let no one tell you otherwise." Thor snuggled to his beloved's side and Loki pulled the covers over them. He felt so loved, so safe, so warm here in Loki's arms.
He only had one more night after this to spend at home with his brother in one of their own beds, tonight he wanted to sleep in his brother's arms and wake up to make love to him again.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Thor was packing for the mission that he would be leaving for the next day when he heard a knock on his door. He opened it and it was his mother Frigga. She didn't wait for him to invite her in before entering. She looked around, thank the Norns he had made his bed and picked up the mixture of his and Loki's clothing that had littered the floor after this morning's tryst. Her eyes landed on a book on the nightstand that Loki had been reading before Thor had come to bed the night prior, it was in elvish, Thor didn't read elvish. She picked up the book, looked at it, and then held it to her heart.
"What is your brother's book doing by your bed?" she asked.
"Loki came in to talk this morning and he left it." he lied badly.
She nodded. "I have heard some things lately about you and Loki, troubling things. I hope for you and your brother's sakes that the rumors are not true. You are brothers." said Frigga.
"I know mother, I also know that the spreader of these rumors threw herself at me and I denied her twice this week, she has been implying things ever since. You know Loki felt left out when I left for training, I had forgotten his feelings, I never sought him out whenever I would return. I sought him out this time, I'd forgotten our friendship and it has been rekindled. That is all, mother. Please ask her to stop these rumors, they are not going to change my mind." said Thor.
"Oh, I thought you would have been honored that a beautiful woman such as Sif thought about you in that way, not to mention she is one of our best warriors, you would never have to leave her home during training or battles, you could fight side by side, produce strong heirs. I thought I had foreseen that match quite some time ago, maybe I was wrong." she sounded a bit sad.
"Mother, there is no love there. She only wants me because I will one day rule Asgard as father does now. I could never love her as..." he realized he was about to say 'as much as Loki' but he stopped himself just short.
Frigga's face lit up at the prospect of one of her beloved sons being in love with a mystery maiden, how surprised she would be if she found out that this 'mystery maiden' was actually her other son...Thor knew he had said too much.
"Who? You are in love? My oldest son is in love? Who is she?" Frigga practically heard wedding bells in her mind.
"No one. You would know if there was someone." he lied through his teeth.
Frigga kissed her son on the cheek and told him goodnight before leaving, he could tell she knew he was lying.
"You'll tell me when you're ready." she said as she walked out the door.
A few minutes later he made his way to Loki's room to spend their last night home together. He told Loki about Sif's telling their mother of her suspicions and Frigga's confrontation when he told her he had declined Sif's advances, he was worried about their secret love being found out. What would Odin do if he found out his sons had fallen in love-with each other? He surely would not smile upon their union.
Loki tried to kiss away Thor's worries, and it worked for the time being. Soon they were kissing, their hands exploring, scratching, pleasuring, mouths biting, kissing, bruising. Breathless, they started stroking each other's erections, Thor moved to take Loki's into his mouth and suck him into ecstasy, Loki was making his erotic noises that drove him wild. Loki was still stroking Thor when he moved to take his brother's erection into his own mouth so that they could pleasure each other at the same time. Thor was so turned on by this and they quickly got into a good rhythm. Thor came so hard it gagged Loki for a second. Thor knew Loki was nowhere near completion, he started stroking him, playing with his sac. He then eyed the open jar of oil and dipped his fingers in it, he eased his fingers into Loki and started thrusting them in and out of him, he must have loved it from the noises that were escaping his lips, and he shook hard as he came. Thor laid next to him breathing in his scent, his eyes closing.
The next thing he knew he was waking up with Loki's arms still around him, he was the epitome of stunning beauty when he was awake, but he looked positively angelic when he was asleep. His ribs rose and fell with the soft breathing sounds of a deep slumber. Thor brushed a strand of hair out of his brother's face and kissed his lips lightly at first. Loki's eyes fluttered open and the kiss deepened. Loki smiled and pulled away for a brief moment to look at Thor before returning to his lips for more. He drank in Thor's kisses like a thirsty man would drink cold water on a hot summer's day. Neither wanted to think about Thor's having to leave in just mere hours. Right now this was the only thing that mattered.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Training was rigorous for the warriors, they battled each other, learned from wizened old warriors who told of the battles of their youth. It was almost sundown when they made their camp. Thor's tent was substantial, being that he was the son of Odin, with a thick feather mattress covered in furs. He made his way into his tent after dinner to dress his wounds and to lay down for some rest. What he found there was his beautiful brother waiting under the furs and reading, his exposed skin glowed by the light of the oil lamp. He looked up at Thor and he melted. Today had been along day of training, he had broken some ribs and gotten bruised up, nothing he couldn't handle. Loki used a healing spell to mend what he could of Thor's broken ribs, he was still going to be sore. Thor undressed and moved under the covers to wrap his arms around Loki, to kiss his sweet lips, and to feel his warmth. There was no pain in Loki's arms. There was so much comfort in his brother's presence even when he turned himself invisible in case anyone decided to come into the tent unannounced.
This continued for several weeks.
The night before the warriors would return to Asgard, Thor retired to his tent while the rest of the warriors celebrated the end of their training mission with mead and a roasted boar. He wasn't interested in drinking or merry making, he wanted to return to his tent, to his Loki, and to maybe some merry making of their own. Loki appeared as usual under the furs on the bed when he came in, Thor undressed not looking at anything but Loki and his gorgeous skin that seemed to light up beneath his gaze, his eyes shining with lust, deep set emeralds in his flawless face. His clothing could not come off fast enough before his naked body was against Loki's and he was drinking in his kisses like he hadn't kissed him in an eternity. Tonight Loki wanted Thor to make love to him, wanted him deep inside of him. It had been weeks since they had done more than kiss and fondle each other due to Thor's injuries or his just being tired from battling the others. And tonight Thor wanted nothing more than to bury himself in his brother, to celebrate their last night in the tent. Thor was entering his brother when there was a gasp from someone behind them, in an instant Volstagg, one of the Warriors Three, was frozen in place, a look of surprise still etched on his face. Loki waved his hand and ropes appeared out of thin air to bind and gag Volstagg before he waved his hand again and he was unfrozen as Loki went invisible. Thor pulled a sheet around himself before beginning to talk to Volstagg who could only listen at this point.
"I am going to untie you but I must have your word that you will not say a word about what you have seen this night." said Thor, he waited for a nod from Volstagg before untying him.
"I knew something was going on between you and your brother, he has bewitched you! You are under his spell! We all know he has powerful magic, and now he has used it to seduce you." said Volstagg in a frantic whisper.
Loki at this point re-appeared now dressed. "You do not know what you are saying Volstagg. You have scarcely spoken a word to me in all of my 19 years, and you dare accuse me of seducing my brother? Using magic on one I hold so dear?" His hand clasped Thor's.
"I know how this looks, but we are in love, we only care for each other, please do not tell our father, he-no one would understand. I know he is my brother..." he stopped when he saw Volstagg look away when he said the word 'brother'. "What? What are you not telling us?" Thor demanded of him.
Volstagg shook his head, "Nothing. Just that you are not true brothers."
"You are a liar! How dare you speak such treason to the princes of Asgard?"
"Haven't you ever wondered why you do not resemble Thor? Why you are so powerful with magic? Why you do not possess the strength of a warrior, like him?" Volstagg did not want to be the one to tell them this, but he could see the love for Thor in Loki's eyes, and he realized that this was real and not sorcery.
"I take after our mother?" said Loki, now skeptically.
"No, Loki." sighed Volstagg. "I should not be the one to tell this to you."
"Tell me!" Loki's heart sank.
"You are Loki." said Thor, grasping his hand, he was afraid of what Volstagg might say.
"You are not Asir, Loki. You are the son of a king, but not Odin, you were not born in Asgard."
"You know not what you say, Volstagg" Thor was getting angry with his friend's lies.
"When your father went to Jotunheim and brought back the casket, everyone had been killed. He THOUGHT everyone had been killed. He found you in the rubble. You were just an infant, so small for a frost giant, you would have died. You are-were Laufey's son. Odin brought you home and raised you as his own." Volstagg regretted telling this secret, he did not know how Loki or Thor would react.
At first Loki just had a pained look on his face, he buried his face in Thor's chest and began to sob. Thor tried to console him, he cried for a few moments and all of a sudden stopped. He pulled away from Thor, a smile on his tear-stained face. Thor and Volstagg were a bit confused.
"I am not your true brother, Thor...we are not true brothers! We need not be ashamed anymore, we need not hide our love." he kissed Thor full on the lips and disappeared.
Volstagg promised to tell no one of what he had seen, if they would tell no one who had told them of Loki's true parentage. He was happy for them, he just hoped that Loki was telling the truth about his love for Thor.
