The Breakup Breakdown

Chapter Six

Present

Loki stumbled back to his apartment drenched and shivering, and still he hadn't found Mjolnir. Loki wrapped his arms around himself as he spotted Thor sitting up against the door, with his knees drawn up to his chest and his head buried deep in his hands. He raised his head, when he heard Loki approach.

"You did not find him either?" Thor asked softly, his voice sounding almost unfamiliar to Loki.

"No, I did not find him." Loki replied back.

Thor nodded his head and scrambled back up on his feet. It was then that Loki noticed his red rimmed eyes that showed he had been crying, and Loki found it a challenge not to reach out and comfort him.

"It's really late, if you want, you can stay. I just mean, the weather is terrible right now and there is no way you would ever be able to catch a taxi in it." Loki said slowly as he wondered if he was going against his better judgment.

Thor tilted his head to the side in confusion, due to the fact that Loki was now busy sending him mixed messages, by inviting him to stay when their last conversation Loki yelled at him to never come back.

"Thank you." He finally mumbled after a long uncomfortable pause.

"We will find him Thor, I promise." Loki then added trying to stay positive because the look on Thor's face was breaking his heart. Thor nodded his head in agreement, but Loki was certain he didn't actually feel that way.

Loki then moved towards the door and unlocked it, pushing it open and moving aside so Thor could enter first.

"I think you could really benefit from a hot shower." Loki said quickly as he gestured over to the bathroom, Thor nodded again, and that made Loki worry more. He wanted Thor to say something, anything.

Thor paced to the bathroom slowly and Loki trudged over to the couch in the living room and fell down upon it feeling completely exhausted. He had no idea what time it was, and when he had been out searching all of it just seemed to bleed together.

He kicked off his shoes and tossed them carelessly on the floor beside him, and pulled the knitted blanket that rested on the back of the couch over him. He sighed as he buried his head in the pillow and closed his eyes, attempting to push away the unwanted feelings that were plaguing him.

His feelings were haunting him, and the biggest one was his feelings for Thor because it wouldn't matter. Loki was never going to be able to get over Thor, not now, not ever. Loki's eyes snapped open as he heard the bathroom door open and Thor reemerge, with an old pair of gray sweatpants that Loki hadn't had the heart to get rid of when Thor had left.

"I cannot believe you still have these." Thor muttered gesturing down at the sweatpants. Loki shrugged.

"I have not gotten rid of any of your stuff." Loki mumbled rolling over on the couch, to avoid looking at Thor.

"Why not?" Thor asked sounding puzzled, and Loki turned, looking back at Thor.

"Is it not obvious?" Loki murmured, his voice suddenly quiet as Thor approached him and bent down, their faces hovering just a few inches apart.

"No, not to me." Thor whispered and Loki swallowed a breath that had gotten lodged in his throat.

Past

Loki sat on the edge of the bed as Thor immerged from the bathroom, freshly shower, his long blonde hair hanging limply around his face as he padded over to Loki.

"I don't think your father liked me that much." Loki mumbled as he buried his face in his hands. Thor turned to him and gave him a puzzled look.

"What are you talking about?" Thor asked and Loki looked back up at him, and shrugged.

"Nothing, it was just a feeling I had that's all." Loki sighed as he flopped down on the bed, and turned over trying to find sleep so he could just put this day behind him.

Loki sat in his office, thumbing through the notes with his latest experiment, when he heard a soft knock on his door. Sif, stood there one hand on her hip and a large box of candy in one hand.

"I think it's almost safe to assume who these are from." She smiled as she walked in and placed the box on his desk. He smiled at them, and then smiled back up at her.

"I thought Fandal was taking this morning shift?" Loki said with puzzlement in his voice.

"Thor's father wanted to see him. So, he asked me to cover."

Loki flinched at the mention of Thor's father.

"Oh, I see that meeting his parents went well then. I'm sorry. It's very tough to get on his good side, but if anyone can do it, it's you Loki." Sif said positively and marched out of his office.

Loki sighed and turned his attention to the candy. He absently picked at the ribbon that was tired around it, until he grabbed the end and yanked it, causing to pull apart. Just as he was about to pull open the box and inspect the candy his phone rang. He thought about ignoring it and letting Sif take the message, but decided he wasn't doing anything that couldn't wait a moment longer.

"Hello." He said in the receiver.

"Hello…Son." A gravelly voice sounded on the other end of the line and Loki, slammed the phone back down into its cradle and bolted out of his office, leaving a confused and stammering Sif in his wake.

This couldn't be happening. He raced down the street, his feet knowing exactly where they wanted to go, even if he really didn't want to go.

Loki barged in the to the Avengers tower, past everyone. Not caring about the angry shouts that echoed behind him and he hurried up to the top the floor.

Thor, Thor's father, and Tony Stark stood huddled around some blue prints, while chatting in soft voices.

"How dare you!" Loki shouted loudly as he raced over to Thor's father and shoved him harshly, "You had no right!"

"Dear boy, I have no idea what you are talking about." Thor's father said innocently and Loki scoffed in response.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" Loki growled in a low voice as he tried to shove the old man again, only to be stopped by Thor by him wrapping his arms around Loki's waist as the smaller man squirmed to get away. "You called him! You called my father!" He yelled again as he continued to struggle to get out of Thor's tight grip.

"I would never. You told me at dinner last night that you were estranged." Thor's father continued innocently and Loki began to feel his blood boil in anger.

"Loki! Loki!" Thor's voice suddenly boomed and Loki went still in his arms. "Let's talk about this in a more private place." Thor continued as he began to guide Loki to the hall way.

Loki followed, but glared back over his shoulder at the old man, whose face held a knowing smirk of victory.

"Loki, that was very unprofessional. I thought you wanted to make a good impression with my father." Thor said and Loki bit his lower lip.

"I did, but Thor, you do not understand. He contacted my father." Loki stammered.

"My father would never do something that cruel." Thor replied defensively and Loki felt hurt that Thor actually thought that Loki had just lied to him.

"Yes he would. He was blackmailing me and this was him trying to push me in the direction he wants me to go."

"Loki, stop with all the lies about my father. He is a good man and he would never stoop as low as you are stating."

"Thor, I'm not lying you have to believe me. He doesn't like me. He thinks I'm holding you back. Please, you have to believe me." Loki pleaded and Thor just shook his head.

Loki felt his anger flare up again. "Fine, if you rather believe him then me. Do not bother coming home because I have no desire of ever seeing you again. But I thought you would actually listen. I guess I thought wrong." Loki snapped as tears welled up in his eyes as he turned and march away from Thor and out of Avenger tower.

That night Thor didn't come home.
