Thor had silently handed him his clothes and then turned his back to Loki. The darker man bit back a sob; everything was closing in and honestly the only thing that was keeping him from collapsing and crying for years and years was Thor standing there in the room. Everything else was separate; the pounding music from the party, the shrieks and drunken yells of stupid teenagers, the only thing that was real and solid was Thor. So, for his perfect, righteous brother Loki pulled himself out of the bed, yanked on his dark jeans and pale green tank top and ran a slender, shaking hand through his hair. Because he was Thor's brother, because he was the son of Odin, the two most powerful, terrifying men in the world and if they could power through anything then so could he. And even through it was the most difficult thing he had ever done in his life Loki forced a smile on his face and tapped Thor on the shoulder. "Can we leave now?"

His brother's eyes were so sad, Loki was used to seeing them full of joy and excitement or even anger that he didn't know how to respond to it. But luckily this was Thor so he didn't say anything that would shatter Loki even more, he didn't burst into tears, he just nodded, put a gentle hand on his elbow and led him out of the room.

Thor led him through the kitchen and out the back door so they didn't have to pass through the huge group of people that were in the living room. Loki was so grateful to his brother then that he had to fight against a wave of tears. As they neared their car parked a ways down the street Thor quickened his steps and moved past Loki to open the car door for him. Loki nodded in thanks to him and slid into the passenger's seat. Thor was just opening his own car door when someone from the house hailed him.

"Thor!"

The blonde man looked over, irritation evident on his face, he obviously just wanted to get his baby brother home and talk to him about what had happened. 'But there was always his public image to consider' Loki thought meanly as Thor smiled when the person neared them. A blonde senior looped up to the car and leaned against it, Fandral. "Oh hey Loki" the man grinned down at him, tapping a finger obnoxiously at the closed window. "Leaving so early? Not a party person I guess." He said, as if anyone could ever think that Loki would ever be into parties. But Loki just couldn't think up the witty response he needed, not now, not tonight, and certainly not in response to one of Fandral's questions.

"If you ever tell anyone I will destroy you, I hope you know that Loki. You will act normal or I'll tell him you're secret. And he will be…..disgusted."

Those evil words ran frantically through Loki's mind but as hard as he tried he just couldn't think of anything to say. He was ice, frozen in place so he wouldn't break. Thor glanced at him, worry written plainly across his face. Then back at Fandral "listen man, um….we've actually got to get back home." Thor moves closer to Fandral and whispers in his ear "I don't know…something's up with Loki. I've got to get him home, maybe get our mom to talk to him." Loki subtly had rolled down the window just a bit so he could hear the two senior's murmurs. Then Thor stepped back and gave his friend a wave as he got into the driver's seat "anyways I'll see you later dude" Fandral nodded to him and tapped on Loki's window one more time, smirking down at him with an odd expression lighting up his eyes.

Loki was glued to his seat; Thor started up the car and turned down the radio that immediately started blaring. "Are you going to talk to me Loki?" the darker teen shake his head "you don't understand Thor, I can't." Thor sucked in a deep breath and as Loki watched he gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white. "Well something bad happened, I know that. Did…..you went to Bruce's bedroom with someone. And then you did some stuff and he left I guess?" slowly Loki nodded, keeping his eyes fixed on the road. "Loki…" Thor pulled off the road and turned in his seat to face Loki, he could feel the blonde's intense gaze cutting through him. "Was it rape Loki?"

"NO." Loki said loudly as his clothes were tugged away like they were nothing. He was cut off by a hand at his mouth and a face inches from his own. "Loki, do you want Thor to know? Do you want him to know that you desire him, your blood brother? He'll hate you; he will turn away from you forever." Loki couldn't meet his stare but slowly he nodded. "You won't tell him? If I do this….you won't tell him?" the man smiled "I won't tell him and you can never tell him it was me alright?" "Alright"

"Not exactly" Loki whispered "I….I wanted it at first."

And he had, he had gone with him to an empty bedroom, he had kissed him back, he had allowed himself to be pushed down on a bed. He had known exactly what was going to happen, he had even welcomed it. Because maybe if he did this then he would finally rid himself of those thoughts, those wretched dreams, those fantasies of his brother. But then in a moment of weakness he had pretended that the muscular arms around him were his brother's and had moaned the name that haunted him.

And that's when everything went to shit. That's when he was pushed down and kissed rougher, that's when he entered into this deal of sorts, his body in exchange for him to keep the secret.

"Oh Loki" Thor whispered, and that was really all there was to say. The rest of the car ride home was silent.

Wow….that was depressing. So anyways guys pleasepleaseplease review. I love you all. Oh and anymore guesses on our evil mystery dude? I've left a few hints I think. And you'll be introduced to Loki's crowd of loner's next chapter along with a sexy Tony as the new kid at school.
