Chapter 21
Loki basked in the warmth of Thor's body, finally resting after a long session of love making. He rested his head on Thor's chest, loving the feeling of it rising and lowering with each breathe. The Jotun King glanced up at the sky, seeing that night was quickly approaching. He raised up and looked around, grapping his loin cloth. "What are you doing?" Thor asked, sitting up as Loki stood to cover himself.
Once Loki secured his golden clasps, he turned to Thor and replied, "I must return to my people. I've been gone to long. They'll will be searching for me and they will be prepared to kill."
Thor stood, his feet freezing against the ground. He jumped around until he replaced his feet on the thick blue cape. Loki giggled at him as he helped collect Thor's scattered clothing. As the God of Thunder dressed, Loki began to leave. "Please do not leave yet!" Thor spoke, reaching out for Loki.
Loki looked and smiled at him. He walked back over to Thor and helped him dress. As he helped clasp the armor back on to Thor's shoulders, they were only a few inches apart. Once he finished, the two looked at each other. Thor's hand slipped onto Loki's cheek as they crushed their lips together. They held the kiss for a moment when Loki pushed him away. "Come with me," Thor said, not wanting to lose eye contact with his Jotun Lover.
"I have to stay," Loki replied, "They need me."
"Loki," Thor said sternly, "Father wants a war! If you come with me to prove your save and are leading the Jotun's peacefully, he won't want a war!"
Loki looked at him and hugged him. "I will. But right now I need to stay with them until they are able to get back on their feet. I will come."
Thor stole another kiss. "You promise?" he asked, holding Loki's face. "You promise you will come?"
"Yes," Loki answered him.
"King Loki!"
The two gods looked over, seeing three scouts searching high and low for their missing King. Loki shoved Thor down so he couldn't be seen. Loki looked at him and said, "You must leave. If they find you, they will kill you."
"Is that your word?" Thor asked him.
Loki only glared at him, replying, "No. Just their hostile nature ever since we came and started killing them."
Thor looked around them, trying to figure out how he was going to get away. Loki noticed his search and he summoned his scepter. He held it out, a light beamed shooting silently from the point. It struck an ice burg and a swirling black hole came in its place. "This will take you back to Asgard. If you want to come back, just ask."
"But how can I ask you?" Thor asked, looking confused.
"Just say my name," Loki smiled, standing up, "I'll hear you." He walked over to Sleipnir and pulled on his reins, handing them to Thor. "Take care of my baby," Loki said to Thor as he kissed the horse on his nose.
Thor took the reins and smiled back at him. Thor kissed Loki one more time before he had to leave. "I love you, Loki," Thor said, reluctantly pulling away. "I always have, and I always will."
Loki smiled at him, "I love you too."
The two separated, Loki waiting until the portal closed before he left to speak with the scouts. He called out to them, gaining their attention. "King Loki!" the three Jotun males spoke in unison as they knelt before him.
"You may rise," Loki spoke softly.
"That Asgardian!" one of them said, "What became of him?"
Loki smiled and waved his spear, "T'was a misunderstanding. The Asgardians are trying to rebuild their gate so they may travel to other realms in times of need. They were simply giving trial to the Bifrost. They mean no harm."
There wasn't much said before Loki spoke, "Let us return. It is late, and your families would wish you to be home."
The three Jotun's began their trek back to the village. Loki stay behind for just a few minutes, glancing around Jotunheim. There was a sense of insecurity in the air. He made a quick scan and decided to ignore it, but his senses were set on high. He turned and followed behind the Jotun scouts and back to his chambers to rest.
Thor returned Sleipnir to his stables and examined the horse. He began speaking to the creature as he pet his snout, "So you're Loki's son. Strange, I never thought my brother to give birth to such a strong creature. To be more precise, I never expected my brother to give birth at all." Thor looked at the saddle and armor the weighed on the horse. He pursed his lips and said, "Why would anyone want to wear such heavy and constraining equipment all day?"
"In case of emergency," a smooth voice spoke.
Thor looked around, trying to find the voice. "Who said that?"
"I did," the voice said again, Thor's arm getting a nudge of Sleipnir's nose.
Thor looked back at him and thought him strange. "You can speak?" Thor asked with some bright enthusiasm.
"Only to those I wish to," Sleipnir said with a hint of humor. "My mother was the only one I spoke to until I saw how much he trusted you. Among other things."
"I did not wish for you to see that," Thor replied, blushing slightly.
"A natural thing," Sleipnir replied, "You wouldn't be the first I have watched commit the act of love. Many young Asgardians have hidden away in these stables to express themselves to the other. I see the love you have for my mother, it is sincere. I wish that you treat him with love, respect, and trust. Hardship has overcome his being several times and I trust that you will take away all his pain and make him whole again."
Thor grinned at Sleipnir and pet his ear. "I will die for him," Thor replied. "I have spent much time growing and playing with my brother. I protected him them and I will protect him now."
Sleipnir raised his head and resting his neck on Thor shoulder as if to hug the God. Thor wrapped his arms around the horse. "You are a good man, Thor Odinson."
The two separated and Thor returned to the castle. He hoped that Odin hadn't known of his disobedience, but you couldn't hide anything from the All-Father. As he entered his home, he expected, at any moment, his father to barge in after him and scold him. When he wasn't greeted right off with the thunderous boom of Odin's voice, he felt a tiny sigh of relief overcome him.
He quickly tread through the castle, finding his chambers and locking himself away. He needed to choose his words wisely, considering what he had just done numerous times with his adopted brother. Thor could stop the impending war from Asgard on Jotunheim, but he feared Odin's reaction to Loki's kingship.
He sighed, running his hand through his long golden hair. "Loki," Thor spoke quietly to himself, "I hope Father doesn't over react to much."
"Over react to what?" a voice behind him spoke. Thor spun around to see his Father in the doorway of his chambers.
Thor took in a hard breath and marched towards his father. "Father," Thor spoke low, yet strong, "I must speak of important matters."
"I know what you've done son," Odin replied with a faint smile, easily hidden by his beard. "However, this doesn't change the war. Loki is still missing and your enjoyment with a Jotun male will not change my mind."
"Father," Thor interjected, "It's not what you think. The Jotun, he's-"
"Enough!" Odin boomed, "You might as well say your good-byes to that blue demon before I take care of him myself. They have taken both of my sons. I have one back, but I will not lose another!" Odin turned to leave, but Thor's voice stopped him.
"Who's to say Loki isn't among the people, living happily!?" Thor shouted, anger boiling his blood that heated his skin.
"Do you not remember what he has done?" Odin turned back to his son, both other their eyes staring the other down. "He opened the gate to destroy Jotunheim! You destroyed the Bifrost because of your brothers injustice. Now you believe he has grown to like these feral creatures?"
"Yes," Thor spoke strong, holding his ground.
Odin's one eyes looked back and forth in to both of his Son's eyes. He took in a deep breath and sighed heavily. "I'm sorry, Thor, but I can't believe Loki would have just changed his mind to like those monsters. Prepare yourself, Son," Odin said, his hand gripping Thor's arm. "For we go to war."
Thor couldn't move, his body in shock. Odin left Thor's chambers, leaving the God of Thunder alone in to his thoughts. He took a few steps back and collapsing on his bed. He had to do something. Odin wasn't going to stop his rampage until Loki was brought home and Jotunheim was destroyed. What could he do?
A few days past and Loki was busy with his people. He had instructed all able bodied males to begin training for war. All females and children were transported to a safe haven in the farthest regions of Jotunheim. Deep within the mountains the no creature other than Jotunheim natives could survive. Jotun fathers hunted for food while mothers and children were escorted by King Loki himself.
Loki took great care of his people, giving them all the support and love they needed. He built them homes within the mountain's caves using his Scepter. Each family had plenty of space and enough food to last a harsh blizzard. While his men trained and families were cared for, Loki was dealing with his own problems.
Loki's abdomen began to swell ever so faintly, but enough for the King to notice why his body was growing. However, late in the night, after the needs of his people were attended to for the day, Loki found himself crying within his chambers. He wanted Thor with him so he could tell him of his troubles. He couldn't hide his belly for long, considering the child was growing far faster than other children he had bared.
It wouldn't be long before a half Asgardian Jotun would be born, becoming the heir to both Kingdoms. Life long enemy's, joined together by a single child. Loki's hand ghosted his belly, carefully caressing a spot he assumed was were his child lay inside him. He smiled at the thought of another child. One to be raised along side Sleipnir and his other... "Oh no." Loki spoke to himself. "I forgot to tell Thor about them."
He stood, quickly marching for his Scepter that lay on a magic stand that no one could approach but him. He grabbed the short gold shaft and aimed it at the wall, creating a portal that would lead to Thor's room. He hurried through it, making a quick trip through space and into the chambers of his brother and lover.
Thor was sitting on the bed, polishing his armor. Thor had been attempting to devise a plan to save Loki's people, as well as spare the lives of Asgardians. When he spotted his lover enter the room, he dropped what he was doing, metal clanking onto the ground. He rushed to Loki and wrapped strong arms around him. Loki was hesitant at first, but returned the gesture. After a long moment, Thor pulled away, his hand slipping onto Loki's jaw and capturing his lips in a passionate kiss. Loki couldn't resist the heated kiss, also returning it while his blue flesh began to morph back into pale.
Reluctantly, Thor pulled away from his sapphire beauty and stroked his cheek, watching at the flesh returned to its natural color. "Loki," Thor smiled, "Why have you come?"
"I had to see you," Loki replied, worry in his face.
Thor noticed the sight Loki gave him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Loki tried to find the word to speak, his mouth opening but no words escaping. Thor's hands gripped Loki's shoulders and asked, "Have any men entered your kingdom? Are you hurt? Your people!?"
"No!" Loki replied quickly, "Nothing of the sort!"
"Then what, dear brother!?" Thor demanded, somewhat shaking the frail blue body.
Loki dropped his eyes down to his barely noticeable bulge. Thor followed his eyes and looked at his belly.
"I do not understand," Thor spoke, looking at Loki's face, which was still turned down.
Loki gave a short snort of laughter and smiled. He looked up at Thor with a half grin and teary eyes. "You are so foolish, Thor," he said, taking Thor's large hand.
He carefully turned the hand, palm forward and placed it on his hard belly. Thor's hand pushed inward as his brain began to register what Loki was trying to tell him. The blonde man's eyes widened as he took double takes back and forth between the belly and Loki's eyes. The Jotun King smiled as Thor finally realized what was happening. "Can it be?" Thor said hopefully.
"Yes, Love," Loki replied, his smile growing with each passing second. "I am with child."
Thor was overjoyed at the news he was receiving. He hugged his lover and kissed him passionately. Thor couldn't remove his hands from Loki's belly, wanting to feel more of the pregnant stomach. They maneuvered over to the bed and they sat. The Demi Gods arm gripped Loki's waist, pulling him closer to him. They put their heads together as they sat in awe at their hands on Loki's belly.
"A son?" Thor asked in wonder, not expecting Loki to know, "A daughter?"
"We won't know until the little one arrives," Loki replied softly, his smile falling into a gentle grace on his face. Both of Loki's hands held his belly while Thor's hands covered his, both of them allowing their fingers to touch the bump. They both sat in peace as they took advantage of the loving, family moment at hand.
Thor pulled away and looked at his Jotun, standing up and holding his hands. "Come, we must tell father the news."
"No," Loki replied, his eyes in a panic. "You know he's out for blood. He wouldn't let you even tell him my name."
Thor pulled Loki to his feet and said, "Then he'll have to kill us both. I won't let him touch you." He placed a hand on Loki's belly, "Especially now. Carrying a child that will save the fate of two life long rivals."
Loki giggled and said, "Almost like the Midgardian play, Romeo and Juliet."
Thor smiled and replied, "I suppose." He pulled Loki by the hand. "Come, we must go to Father."
Loki reluctantly followed, his grip on Thor's hand tightening. Thor opened the door and the guards outside only looked at him, startled by Loki's appearance. They held out spears, holding them to Loki's body. "No!" Thor shouted. "He is not to be harmed."
The guards slowly retracted their spears and stood in their place. Thor lead Loki through the castle, keeping him close to him. "I'm right here," Thor comforted, every time a guard threatened him. "I won't let anyone hurt you."
They approached the War room, Thor holding Loki close. They burst through the doors, seeing the room was completely empty. "This cannot be," Thor said, dumbfounded.
Loki looked around the room, going to the center table. The table had a map of Jotunheim. Figurines symbolizing soldiers were stationed out on the sides of mountains. The same mountains he hid his people in. "Thor," Loki said in a panic, "We must return to Jotunheim. They're attacking!"
