Thor knew this was risky but his cowardly behaviour had hurt more than just him and he knew that. Kneeling in front of Odin and Frigga, his father and his mother, his king and queen was hard. Thor knew he was about to tell them a tale of perverted feelings and thoughts and he didn't expect either of them to accept this, wouldn't blame them if they didn't but Thor still had to tell them, he was tired of keeping his love for Loki a secret and now that both of them knew it was a mutual thing, he didn't want to keep them a secret.
"I have kept silent about this for so long and I had lied to myself about what these feelings were, just like Loki had done. I had said my feelings were out of brotherly love and the need to protect a brother, not a lover. I have had many nights with others, trying to drown out the thoughts of Loki but nothing has worked." Thor heard the faint sound of the doors opening and closing but never stopped, whoever it was could hear this as well, sooner or later the news would be all over the palace whether it be of Thor and Loki's banishment or of the news Thor had found a life partner, Thor wasn't sure. "I know you expect me to marry Sif, father, and I'm sorry that I cannot for my love for Sif does not run that way and marrying her would only hurt us both. I do love Sif, as a friend and sister," Thor realized how it seemed to be reversed and smiled, "but not as anything more. You could put ten thousand of the most beautiful women in front of me and I'd always choose Loki." Thor frowned as Loki's face flashed in his mind, the hurt look on his face after they made love. "It has always been Loki, father, and it will always be Loki." Thor stood and looked between his mother and father, hoping for some sign of what was to come.
As soon as Thor opened his mouth to ask their approval or denial he felt a small thud against his side and a pair of arms hugging his neck. Thor blinked and looked down at his hugger, grinning as he took in the sight of raven black hair. Loki's shows of affection were rare and never happened in front of people so Thor knew Loki heard what he needed to hear. Thor put his arm around Loki and kissed the top of his head, looking at Odin and Frigga. Thor blinked as he noticed Odin was smiling.
"It seems you do not think that highly of us, son, to assume we'd banish you for something as magical as love." Odin looked between his two sons, never letting his smile fall, "Your mother informed me of Loki's feelings years ago and I had figured out yours not long after," Odin stopped laughter coming as he took in the look of Thor and Loki, clinging to each other. Loki had a more composed look upon his face but his eyes were still wide which shock and Thor . . . well, Thor was not so composed, his eyes as wide as they could go and his mouth as low as it could drop, "It is a shame that so many lives had to be lost to bring this out," Odin looked at Loki as he looked down, "What you're asking is that your mother and I accept your love and let you stay in Asgard . . . While I know that your mother and my reaction to this is acceptance and understand and perhaps even happiness that you both found your love, we cannot promise how anyone else will react. You may get hatred thrown at you, Thor, and people will say you do not deserve the throne for this action. I don't have to ask if you're willing to risk that, I can see in your eyes that you will. So just know this, both of you listen carefully," Odin lifted Loki's chin up, making sure he was looking into his eyes as Thor was doing, "This does not make me think any less of you and nothing could. You are both my sons in my heart and I will always treat you as such." Odin kissed Thor and Loki on the head and stepped back, looking at Frigga.
Frigga wore a grin so wide it could split her lovely face. Looking at her husband she nodded and looked at her two boys and laughed at their expressions. Neither of them had their composure. Thor's eyes were still as wide as they could go, tears welling up inside and his mouth still hung as long as it could and Loki's eyes were red with tears already spilt, his lip bleeding from his effort to hold his sobs back. Frigga smiled at her boys and hugged both of them, swatting them lightly on the head each, "After all the love I have given you, you both thought I would hate you for something as beautiful as loving one another." Frigga shook her head and wiped Loki's tears away, feeling tears of her own begin to fall as she noticed the sparkle Loki once had slowly start to return.
