Okaaaaay. So this came out a bit more comic relief then i had planned. And please, i don't consider Thor stupid, he's just...a little slower. A tiny bit.
Thor's footstep's echoed louder and louder as he marched down the prison hall. Since Loki fell asleep, he figured now would be a good time to report the punishment duly carried out to his father. Though whether it was a success or failure would have to be figured out by someone else.
Thor did not consider himself stupid. It was just his knowledge was more...limited, perhaps even outdated, then others. The "science" Hulk and Iron Man conducted was interesting, but rather hard to understand. The clever ways Loki could twist and fashion words to his advantage was also out of reach. Most of the time, when he wanted to reach some sort of conclusion, he made a nice little list in his mind, so:
What he and Loki had just done felt good.
Since Loki and he weren't actually brothers, it was also lawful.
Loki would be in Asgard for a very long time from now on, thus
The same event would probably happen again. Thor found he was pleased with that idea. Now the only thing left to do was to confirm what would happen with father. Satisfied with his thoughts on the matter, Thor now focused on how truly annoying the sound of his footsteps was. Stone floor and metal boots made a terrible ringing noise. Stepping lighter was completely impossible, so he puzzled on how to get his father to cover the entire area with rugs for the rest of his walk to the throne room.
Thor bowed before Odin. "Father, I have exacted your punishment on the traitor Loki."
"Ah, yes, very good, my boy." Odin felt uncomfortable in numerous ways, most of which involved how bluntly his son always put things. It wasn't as if he could fix his leaden tongue, but still, some court etiquette must have found its way through the thick skull of that lovable son of his. "But you don't have to call him traitor; he is your brother still after all."
Thor stilled, and looked up at his father with a rare unreadable expression. "But...he isn't really, is he father?"
Odin frowned thoughtfully at his son. "And what makes you think that?"
"I have always felt it, slightly, father." Thor racked his brains to try to find words for an answer. "We are...different, my king. Too different in all ways to be blood kin."
"Yes, my boy, you are of different blood. Different race even." Odin smiled and clapped his hand upon Thor's shoulder. "But you are family through bonds of love."
"Oh." Odin almost heard...disappointment in Thor's voice. Thor's feet shuffled in a seldom seen display of hesitancy. "What does that mean for Loki's...continued punishment, father?"
Oh. Oh.Well this was certainly an unforeseen development. Odin hid his slight embarrassment quite well behind a tired grimace. "Well, considering his state...within our family, we certainly cannot keep him locked up forever. Nor can we allow him to roam free, chaos blooming behind him as he goes." Odin stood, feeling too old for the exertions of the young. If only Thor's mother were still around, she could have handled this. Feelings were definitely not his strong suit. "Here is my decree. When you are not busy with the Avengers, nor busy with affairs here, you shall be Loki's caretaker. Do not feel pressured to constantly watch over him; just...Try to make sure he doesn't get into any considerable mischief. Does that sound fit to you, my son?"
Thor puzzled over this idea in the best way he could;
He liked spending time with Loki
Him and Loki might be happy together once again
Opportunities for more of... 'that' might occur, thus
"Yes, father." He grinned broadly up to Odin. "I will follow thy commands till the end of the age."
Odin sat, smiling as he watched Thor's cloak swirl behind him as he stomped off excitedly. Just like a child with a ball, he though amusedly, then decided he was long due for a good nap.
Second chapter! I have no idea how Norse people would actually react to homosexual love, so Odin is accepting. Deal w/ it. And yeah, who the heck was Thor's mom? Is she, like, dead? Geez. More Chapters will be coming after this!
