Though the first day had been awkward, a week later and they, both Bruce and Loki, had gotten into a routine. In the morning Bruce normally read, a lot of times chemistry and biology books but every once in a while a work of fiction, while Loki normally would stay asleep. It made Bruce wander if he just slept a lot or if he did something else at night but he never asked.
Either at or around lunch time was when he normally woke up and then they would chat a bit. The first few discussions were usually Bruce's choices as far as reading material went. Loki didn't think he read enough fantasy and action novels while Bruce countered with his life contained too much action and fantasy. Then after that they would talk about whatever was currently on their mind.
This time, Bruce chose Loki's brother which Loki wasn't too happy about. "Why him? The only thing that I would possibly be interested in involving him would be his demise," he grumbled as he shifted slightly in his seat.
"Oh come on, it's obvious that he still cares for you a lot."
"And that means that I must care about him? That is completely untrue. Besides I loathe my brother. He is the whole reason I have lost everything, my home, family."
Bruce raised an eyebrow. "Really, if I heard right you were the one that caused almost all the misfortune onto yourself."
Loki simply glared at him as he said this. He couldn't truly deny it since the statement was quite accurate but it didn't mean he couldn't try. "My brother is still the one at fault. He always was the favorite and the eldest as well."
Bruce sighed as he shook his head. "So you really hate Thor that much?"
"Of course!"
"Then why do you still consider him your brother?"
And for that, Loki had no answer.
