Character: Loki, Thor
Series: Snapshots
Summary: A few petals landed on his raven hair and green clad shoulders.
The pink flowers petals slowly fell from the tree and a landed on the grassy knoll. Flower petals left a pink carpet around the tree and contrasted with the green grass. A pale hand gently plunked one of the petals out of the air. A raven haired god sat under the tree and leaned against the thick trunk. A book rested in his lap. He gently brushed it against his cheek and smiled. A few petals landed on his raven hair and green clad shoulders. It was quiet up on the hill with a forest scattered below and the man could see the valley for miles. A wind blew the petals across the ground and he let the one he held go. It flew into the wind and disappeared.
A warm body leaned against his and the he turned. A blond haired god smiled at him warmly. "I always find you here when you wish to be alone Loki."
"Ah, well not many like to venture to far in these woods, Thor." Loki shrugged.
"Well it is known to be haunted or so they say." Thor replied impishly.
"And who started the rumor?" Loki asked in annoyance.
"Hey you said you wanted a quiet place to relax."
"Yes, but now everyone thinks me mad for coming here."
"Well you kind of are. Why would you be reading under a tree on a beautiful day such as this?" Thor gestured grandly. "You should be out riding and hunting. Not lazing under a tree."
Loki glared at his brother. "Maybe some of us wish to relax and not be gallivanting across the countryside look for adventure."
"Ha! Boring!" Thor laughed.
"Why don't you go find your little friends and leave me in peace?" Loki asked while flipping the book open determinedly. He would not let his bored brother distract him from the book he had been wanting to read for a while.
"Because you are the one I want to hang with." Thor's blue eyes flashed in happiness.
"Then you will have to hang with me right here." Loki rolled his green eyes. "And stop picking up Midgardian slang terms, it is very un-kingly."
"Uh huh your one to talk." Thor muttered sullenly.
For a time, it was quiet under the tree which soon aroused Loki's suspicion. Thor was never quiet and when he was it meant he was up to no good. He felt his brother's weight grow heavy against his side and soon a blond head rested on his shoulder. Loki glanced at Thor in irritation, but his expression changed to a bemused smile. His brother's features were relaxed and he was asleep. Loki sighed and gently shifted until his brother's head was in his lap and the book lay beside him. He gently threaded his fingers through the blond strands and watched it catch the light. Petals fell down around them as Loki gently stroked his sleeping brother's brow.
