Loki felt his eyes go wide when he finally registered what was going on. Then, he did the last thing he ever thought he'd actually do in the situation. He shifted a bit to tilt his head to the right, shut his eyes, and threw his arms around Thor's neck, kissing him back fiercely and taking control of it. Thor's lips were warm against his own and tasted like the bread and cheese he'd been breaking his fast on, but the trickster couldn't care less. After a bit of kissing Thor, his lips parted, using his tongue to gently lure Thor's into his own mouth. He was about to go farther when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
Thor was left in a stupor when he felt his brother pull away, soon registering the hand on his own shoulder. Loki had tasted wonderful, just like he'd always dreamt he would. The other's lips had been so perfectly soft. They hadn't been warm, though, but cool to the touch like the rest of his skin. His tongue had been warm, though and absolutely perfect when it had been massaging against his own gently.
The blonde god looked up with his brother, looking down sheepishly when he saw Frigga looking down at them with a sort of look only a mother could muster.
"Come boys, why don't we take a little walk, just the three of us?" She suggested with a warm smile to her sons, holding her hands out to the brothers.
Loki glanced over at Thor, meeting the other's gaze and knowing they really had no choice. So, the brothers both took her hand and stood up from the table to walk out of the dining hall with her.
Frigga smiled peacefully as she held the hands of her two sons, walking out of the room with them, taking the two boys out of the hall full of people staring at them in both shock and confusion and scandal.
Loki stayed silent and just walked alongside his mother out of the room and through the hallways into her gardens where the three of them would be in total privacy.
"Now, darlings, is there something you'd like to tell me?" She asked as soon as they got to the gardens, a patient and knowing smile on her lips.
Loki looked over at Thor, who was looking back at him. They both swallowed a bit, waiting for the other to say something.
"Thor started it." Loki finally piped up.
"You didn't make the situation any better, though, Loki." Thor retorted to his brother.
"That didn't stop you from liking it, though. Oh, yes, I know that wasn't a sheathed dagger in your pocket that was poking at me, Thor."
"Boys, stop fighting, please. I never thought you'd be bickering about something like this either." Frigga interjected with a sigh. "Sit down, you two. We're going to work through this together. Peacefully, preferably."
Thor sighed a bit and complied, sitting down on the stone bench next to his younger brother, both of them looking up at their mother to see what to do next.
"Now, then. Thor, did you initiate the kiss?" Frigga asked calmly.
"Yes, Mother." He replied sheepishly.
"Is there any special reason why?"
"I don't know. I just wanted to."
Frigga nodded, turning to Loki. "And, Loki, did you kiss Thor back?"
"…. Yes, Mother." Loki replied reluctantly.
"Do you have any reasoning behind it, or was it on a whim as well?"
"It was mostly on a whim." Loki replied after a bit of thought, knowing Frigga would more than likely know when he was lying to her.
She nodded and smiled to her sons, crouching down and gently stroking both of their long hair. "You two are welcome to stay here in my gardens to work through whatever you need to. You have complete and total privacy, I promise. No one can hear you, no one will you find you in here. You can leave when you are ready. If anyone comes seeking either of you, I will take care of it."
Thor nodded and watched with Loki as their mother left the gardens, leaving them alone in the little area.
Loki watched her go before looking back over at Thor. "Why did you kiss me?" he asked after a bit.
"I don't know. To be completely honest, I've wanted to for quite some time now."
Loki blinked at that and sighed softly. "So have I.," he finally replied.
Thor blinked at that and grinned widely, scooting closer to his younger brother, wrapping his arms around the leaner god tightly, and hugging him warmly. "My sweet brother. No harm shall come to you whatsoever."
Loki blinked at the promise and let himself lean into Thor as the other hugged him, resting his head on the other's shoulder.
Thor smiled at the movement, knowing his plan was working and going perfectly. As soon as he got his brother to agree to court him and join him in a nice and loving relationship, he'd be able to really help heal him.
"Brother?" the blonde asked softly.
"Yes, Thor?"
"May I kiss you again?"
Loki looked up at the blonde and sighed softly, nodding. "Go ahead."
Thor smiled and moved to turn to Loki, taking his chin in his hand, then closing his eyes and leaning forward enough to close the space between the two of them.
The kiss was different from the kiss in the dining hall had been. It was slower, sweeter, and more loving. They parted from the kiss just a bit to catch their breaths, pecking each other's lips softly meanwhile.
Thor smiled and stroked Loki's hair softly, happy to just be with his younger brother like that.
"You are not alone any longer, my darling brother. I'm here, right here for you." Thor said softly to the trickster.
Loki blinked at that, looking over at Thor, not saying a word and just analyzing him.
"There's something about you. I don't know what it is, but something's different. I mean, it's not a bad thing by any means. It's just different." He finally said.
Thor smiled to Loki a bit and chuckled softly, leaning into his brother and pulling him close. "I hand a change of mindset, I suppose you could say. The only way I could help you move on would be to move on with you. "
Loki nodded and sighed a bit, resting his head on the other's shoulder. "So, what are we now? I mean I think we've kissed about twenty times in the last fifteen minutes. We can't just be friends or brothers or anything like thing."
"That's definitely true. I suppose we could court and have an excuse for it all." Thor suggested with a smile to Loki.
Loki looked over at Thor and cocked an eyebrow at him. "Are you trying to woo me?"
"Perhaps I am. Will you allow me to court you, Loki?"
Loki thought for a bit and nodded to Thor with a small sigh. "I suppose I could allow that, yes."
Thor grinned and moved to cup Loki's cheek, leaning in and kissing his lips lovingly and deeply once again.
Loki shut his eyes and tilted his head, kissing the blonde man back, wrapping his arms around the older god. He held the kiss easily, parting his lips for Thor, letting the man push his tongue into his mouth. He hummed into the kiss, rubbing his tongue against Thor's gently.
Thor relaxed against his brother as he felt Loki do the same against him. He held the younger man close against himself, kissing him deeper and deeper. Soon enough, everything had seemed to have gone into a blur and all he could focus on was how perfect Loki's cool, soft lips felt on his own, how good Loki tasted, and how warm his tongue was compared to his cool skin. Before he knew it, he'd pulled the trickster onto his lap.
Loki straddled Thor on the bench, kissing him passionately and deeply, his long fingers woven into his long blond hair. He gasped softly when he felt Thor's hand slip up the back of his shirt, feeling the other's hot skin on his back gently.
Thor hummed as he felt Loki's cool, smooth skin under his fingertips, breaking away from the kiss at long last, panting heavily. "Do you want to go any further or not right now?" he asked softly.
Loki opened his eyes at the question. "I do. Though, I don't think Mother will appreciate us making love in her gardens. Why don't we relocate?"
Thor nodded and smiled to Loki, kissing his nose softly. "Where shall we go? Your bedchambers or mine?"
"Let's go to yours. I'd rather not have mine smell of sex." Loki replied to him easily. Thor sighed but nodded and agreed to the arrangement. With that, Loki transported them into the blond man's bedchambers and onto the bed, laughing as Thor grunted with they fell onto the mattress when they appeared into the room.
"I'll never get used to that, I don't think." Thor said with a small laugh, kissing the other's nose gently. He then kissed Loki's lips and rested his hands on the other's waist, moving to gently lift his shirt up.
Loki raised his arms to help Thor remove the shirt and toss it aside. He kept close to Thor, kissing him again as the other man started to rub his warm, strong hands up and down his bared torso, fighting back a moan when he felt Thor start to play with his nipples.
He sighed contently, his back arching into the other man a bit. Thor's hands were strong and hardened from all the sparring he'd done throughout the years. They were rough and hot, but gentle, handling him like he was a precious treasure to be treated with the best care available.
Thor smiled a bit as he felt around Loki's soft, smooth skin, kissing his lips deeply and passionately, feeling the other's long fingers start to work on his own shirt. He parted from the kiss a bit, helping Loki remove the shirt, only to start kissing him again once it was discarded off to the side.
Loki hummed as he kissed Thor again, pressing himself up against the larger man heatedly, smiling through the kiss as he felt the blonde guide him down to lay down on the bed. He kissed Thor heatedly once he felt his back hit the mattress,
Thor kissed Loki back, rubbing their hips against each other gently, having already felt his pants start to get uncomfortably tight. It didn't help anything when he heard the man beneath him moan heatedly.
"Oh, Loki…" he panted, moving his kisses to the younger god's neck, sucking and nipping it just enough to leave a mark in his wake, kissing it softly when he was finally satisfied. He then moved his kisses down to the other's chest, taking one of the pink buds into his mouth and rolling his tongue over it gently as he sucked at it.
Loki gasped and moaned loudly with pleasure as Thor gave attention to his nipple with his mouth, the other being paid attention to by his hand. He arched his back a bit, his hips rolling up against the other man's grinding against him heatedly.
"Eager, brother?" Thor panted with a small smile.
"Oh, shut up." Loki breathed out.
Thor laughed and moved his kisses down Loki's chest to his stomach, grinning as his younger brother squirmed beneath him eagerly. He got down to the other's groin and smirked up at the other man, gently biting at the waistline of his pants.
"Odin's ravens, just take them off!" Loki demanded impatiently.
Thor laughed and nodded to the younger man, helping him out of his pants before tossing them aside, taking his undergarments off along with them. He then looked down at the younger man's nude body spread out beneath him, his legs already spread out for him.
"Oh, what's this?" he asked softly when he caught sight of a rather abnormal feature.
