Author's Note: This one is like, two chapters in one. Some people asked to see the Lion King session, so I wrote this. Hope you enjoy.
"Ha! The boar and his tiny friend are most amusing! What say you, brother?"
Not for the first time, Loki wished he had killed that nosy mortal woman when he had the chance. True, he had grown fond of her during the time that they had spent together, but he was sure he would get over it in a century or two. And if he couldn't kill her, he supposed he could have simply erased her mind of this moronic idea of hers before he was roped into watching some Midgardian child's "movie" about talking animals. What made the situation worse was having to watch it with the soldier and the idiot that fancies himself his brother.
"The boar has gastrointestinal problems, and the little meerkat lacks creativity," Loki answered, scowl on his face.
"Oh, lighten up, Loki! I am sure that if Lady Darcy were here, you would not be so ill-humored!" Thor said, throwing his humongous arm over his brother's shoulder in what was meant to be a friendly gesture.
Loki froze at the weight, his scowl becoming murderous. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed how the soldier moved off the couch all three of them had been sitting in, already on the defensive for the fight he expected to break out.
Smart man.
"So, how was—holy crap! What the hell happened to you?"
Loki lifted a hand to his face, wiping off the blood that dripped off the side of his mouth. He let the woman lead him to her bed, watching her as she left to retrieve something from the bathroom. He could hear her rummaging through her things, muttering to herself along the way.
"I was in the same room as my idiot brother for more than five minutes."
"And how did that end with you looking like you got mauled by a freakin' bear!?"
"We were...bonding," Loki summarized, his mind going back to the words (and fists) exchanged with his brother as Darcy returned, alcohol and bandages in hand.
"Bonding?" she asked incredulously. At seeing Loki's nod in affirmation, she rolled her eyes. "You two must be the best of friends by now, then."
Loki doubted he and his brother would ever be best friends, like when they were younger, but he supposed that today was a start. A painful start, he would admit, but a start nonetheless. He made a note to (possibly) thank Darcy later.
AN: And, done. Sorry I didn't put any of the 'bonding', but I'm not all that good with action scenes. Besides, it would have been too long. Tell me what you think. Thor and Loki's relationship is still pretty bad, but it is getting better. So, I have decided to actually have other characters in here every once in a while. I can't wait to have Tony in here. He's like my favorite Avenger. Anyway, tell me what you think!
