Here is a one-shot of Thor and Loki when they were children. We mentioned something like this in the earlier chapters and someone said that we should do this and I was thinking about it for a while. Let us know what you think or if you want more of these little back stories about when they were children. We are only thinking of you, lovelies. :)

Thor stared up into the darkness that filled his and Loki's bedroom. Something was wrong and he couldn't sleep until he figured out what it was. He pushed the blanket off of him and set his feet on the cold stone floor. He heard Loki talking in his sleep and walked toward him.

"Loki? Are you sleeping?"

"Hmmm? What is it, Thor?" Loki asked sleepily opening his eyes and looking up at Thor.

"Something does not feel right. Are you feeling alright?" Thor leaned over Loki and placed his forehead to Loki's. He jumped back yelping from the difference in temperature.

"I feel fine."

"But brother you are freezing!"

"What are you talking about? I feel fine! I'm actually a little warm." Thor tried to life his brother up but he wasn't strong enough.

"I must go and get father and mother!" He ran dutifully to his parent's bedchamber. They slept peacefully Odin held Frigga close. "Father, Mother!" He whispered shaking Odin.

"Thor? What is it? What's wrong?" Frigga asked sitting up slightly looking over at him.

"It is Loki! Something is wrong he is freezing, Mother! Please come quick!" She quickly jumped from the bed and followed Thor, who grabbed her hand and began to tow her along. Loki was sleeping again when they arrived in their bedchamber.

"Loki, dear? Are you feeling alright?" Frigga asked placing her wrist on Loki's forehead. "Oh my! You are freezing. You're as cold as ice."

"Mother, I am fine." He whined when she pulled him into her arms trying to warm him up. Thor began to sniffle behind Frigga she turned.

"Thor? Why are you crying, darling?" She held her arm out to him and he hid his face in her neck.

"I just want Loki to be alright!" Thor was crying hysterically now he had tears overflowing from his eyes and snot running from his nose. "I DO NOT WANT LOKI TO DIE!" He screamed through sobs.

"Loki is not going to die, darling." Frigga tried to soothe Thor and wiped the tears away from his eyes.

"Thor, calm down I am fine. I am not going to die. You cannot get rid of me that easily." Loki giggled sleepily Thor stared at him with tears in his eyes for a long time. Frigga held them both against her chest and rocked them back and forth for what seemed like a lifetime.

"Are they asleep?" Odin asked stepping into the bedchamber she jumped slightly from the sudden noise that interrupted the silence.

"Yes. Thor is so worried about Loki. Should we not just tell them?" She asked as he lifted Thor from her lap.

"No. It is something that they do not need to know. Loki will think that he is different but he is our son just as much as Thor is." Odin pulled the blanket over Thor before looking over at Frigga who was gently tucking Loki into his bed.

"Goodnight, Loki. I love you." She kissed his forehead.

"I love you too, Mother." He mumbled as she walked over to Thor.

"Goodnight, Thor. I love you." She kissed his forehead and he sighed before rolling away from her. Frigga smiled and wrapped her arms around Odin's waist.

"Let us go to sleep, my love." Odin whispered before kissing her nose. She smiled and they walked back to their bedchamber. He held her close when they had settled back into bed.

"Goodnight, darling." She whispered after they lay in silence for what felt like an eternity.

"Goodnight." He kissed her temple before they fell into a deep sleep.

Loki shivered and sat up looking around the dark room. He threw the blanket aside and ran across the cold floor toward Thor's bed.

"Thor, may I sleep with you?" He whispered Thor rubbed his eyes before sitting up slightly.

"Of course, brother. Are you alright?"

"Just a bad dream." Loki crawled up next to Thor. They cuddled close to each other Thor draped his arm over Loki protectively. They fell asleep a few minutes later their faces close together, Thor's which was streaked with tears and Loki's pale and practically perfect. They breathed evenly, their hearts were in time, and they held each other close the entire night.
