"Thor!"
"Thor!"
"Thor! Wake up sleepyhead!"
Thor groaned as he raised his head off his pillow and blinked a few times before he could see Loki was standing next to the side that Thor laid on.
"Hi baby brother." Thor greeted tiredly and pulled him close so he could give a quick kiss to Loki's cheek. Loki giggled in response and climbed onto the bed. He laid next to Thor as they cuddled for a while before Thor sat up and stretched.
"Mr. and Mrs. Clarkson are making carmel apples today." Loki announced to his elder sibling.
"What for?" Thor questioned.
"For Sydney's sixth birthday." Loki pulled a envelope out of his hoodie pocket. "And I'm invited to it!"
Thor opened the already open envelope and pulled out a purple card. 𝘛𝘖 𝘓𝘖𝘒𝘐, 𝘍𝘙𝘖𝘔 𝘚𝘠𝘋𝘕𝘌𝘠 𝘊.Was what was written on the cover, on the back of the cover was 𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘈𝘙𝘌 𝘐𝘕𝘝𝘐𝘛𝘌𝘋 𝘛𝘖 𝘔𝘠 𝘚𝘐𝘟𝘛𝘏 𝘉𝘐𝘙𝘛𝘏𝘋𝘈𝘠 𝘖𝘕 𝘈𝘗𝘙𝘐𝘓 6𝘛𝘏, 2100. 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘗𝘈𝘙𝘛𝘠 𝘐𝘚 𝘍𝘙𝘖𝘔 10:45 𝘈.𝘔., 𝘛𝘖 7:33 𝘗.𝘔.! 𝘚𝘌𝘌 𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘚𝘖𝘖𝘕! Thor looked at his alarm clock to see the screen was showing that it was 11:22 A.M.
"You think they'll accept people who are late?" Thor asked and Loki shrugged and Thor sighed. "Hold on, let me get dressed and then we'll go."
Later once Thor was dressed in a orange tanktop and grey shorts, the two started down the street. Thor knew where the Clarksons lived, 7163 Peace Avenue. Loki however was going in the direction of Elmwood Street.
"Wrong way baby bro!" Thor called. "The Clarksons are this way!"
But Loki stayed where he was and Thor walked over to him.
"Loki, sweetheart, what's wrong?" Thor asked.
Loki pointed to the north fence that went all around Poltragow. Thor looked to see two people, one tall, taller than Thor, and one short. 'If someone leaves, let them go.' Thor remembered Mr. Clarkson telling him once months ago when he and Loki first started living in Poltragow. Grabbing Loki's hand, he started walking towards Peace Avenue.
"Thor?" Loki asked.
"Let them be, Loki. If they want to leave, let them leave." Thor said as they walked.
"Why?" Loki asked.
"Well," Thor started. "Maybe they don't like living in Poltragow. Maybe they'll return, maybe they'll never return."
"But everyone's so nice!" Loki objected.
"Loki." Thor sighed. Loki looked down, Thor was getting upset, he didn't want his big brother upset.
Thor lifted Loki up from the ground and held the little one close. A kiss on Loki's forehead came first, then Loki was lowered so he and Thor could press their foreheads together.
"I'm not mad."
"You were getting mad."
"Sweetheart, I promise you I am not mad."
Loki still wasn't sure and just held onto Thor. "I-I don't want to go to Syd's party anymore, Thor."
"Loki." Thor adjusted his grip on Loki. "Fine, what do you want to do?"
A smile came to Loki's lips. "Swimming!"
