A/N: Sorry this took so long, it's only short but I had to post something.
"I can come back to Midgard and visit whenever I want,"
"Within reason," Odin added.
"Reason?" Loki tilted his head to the side.
"As long as you don't just get up and leave during an important event,"
Loki smiled. "I can live with that,"
When they arrived back on Asgard a biting chill washed over them all and they instinctively shuddered. The Bifrost slightly resembled how it was when Loki had tried to destroy Jotunheim before it was rebuilt.
They made their way past Heimdall who looked very uncomfortable with Frost Giants stood either side of him.
The Frost Giants stared at Loki as they passed but didn't say anything.
They got back to the palace and the Frost Giants let them pass and go to Vili, the new Jotun King.
He was stood against the wall beside Odin's throne waiting.
"Vili," Odin greeted as they entered.
"Ah, All-Father, I was starting to get impatient. Did you get what I asked?" He stepped forward and sat on the steps.
Odin placed a hand on Loki's back to urge him forward a little. Loki stepped forward to stand beside Odin and looked up at Vili. Odin moved his arm to wrap protectively around Loki's waist.
Vili smiled. "Hello nephew,"
Odin felt Loki stiffen slightly but tapped his hip to warn him to remain quiet.
Loki nodded back at Vili and looked down.
Vili stood up and walked over to them, kneeling down in front of Loki. He touched a hand to Loki's cheek and his skin slowly faded to blue. He blinked and his eyes turned red.
Vili huffed in acceptance and touched his long nails to the raised shapes on Loki's forehead and around his eyes.
Loki clenched his jaw and tried to stay still. Odin's arm tightened around him to try and comfort him.
When Vili was satisfied, he stood up and nodded to a few Frost Giants stood behind them. They walked out of the palace silently except for one, who stayed with Vili.
"We'll leave Asgard in peace and be in contact in order to decide upon a treaty on neutral land,"
The Asgardians let out a collective sigh of relief.
Odin dropped his arm from Loki's waist and nodded at Vili. "Thank you, it's about time our lands were brought to a permanent peace with one another,"
Vili nodded back. "I agree, the fighting is getting tedious,"
Frigga stepped forward to hug Odin and, while they were distracted, the other Jotun in the room grabbed Loki's arm and pulled him away from the others.
Odin broke away from the embrace and ordered the Jotun to let go of Loki. Loki tried to fight but the Frost Giant chained his wrists together with enchanted handcuffs, binding his magic and pinned him against the wall so his legs were dangling out of the reach of the floor.
"This is part of the conditions in the truce, we want the lost prince back," Vili stated as if he'd already repeated it one thousand times before.
"You did not say that!" Odin yelled at him.
"Didn't I?" He shrugged and the other Frost Giant removed a dagger from his belt and placed it against Loki's throat. Loki stilled and stared at the knife. "We can either take him with us or we'll kill him now,"
Odin froze when he saw the knife, all the other Asgardians still in shock.
"You won't harm him if we just let you take him?" He questioned in a steady, calm voice.
"No," Vili answered plainly.
Odin nodded. "Alright, we'll discuss this when we discuss the treaty,"
There were cries of protest from the Asgardians behind him until Odin held his hand up to silence them.
He looked at Loki, who appeared calm but Odin could tell by his eyes that he was panicking, and spoke again.
"Can we have a moment with him first?" He asked Vili, still looking at Loki.
Vili rolled his eyes. "Just you, everyone else must wait outside with us,"
Odin nodded in agreement and Vili ushered everyone else out except the other Jotun. Thor looked back every few steps, unwilling to leave them alone, but obeyed anyway, joining his mother and friends outside.
Vili stood at the door and called for the nameless Jotun to join him outside, leaving just Odin and Loki.
Odin rushed to Loki's side as the dark haired man rested a palm on the wall to brace himself, staring at the ground.
"Loki?" Odin placed a hand on his shoulder.
Loki looked up, fear evident in his eyes. "You said I would just have to be present at the meetings,"
Odin nodded. "I thought that's all he wanted,"
Loki looked down again and started hyperventilating at the thought of living in Jotunheim.
"Loki, calm down," Odin placed his other hand on his other shoulder and made him look at him.
Loki closed his eyes and tried to calm his breathing.
"Son, this is temporary, alright? When me and Vili talk about the truce I will insist on having you brought back, I won't waver on that one," Odin spoke with such surety in his voice that Loki nodded.
"What if he doesn't waver either?" He asked quietly.
"Then we'll go to war," Odin stated clearly.
Loki stared at him in confusion but Odin's expression said there was no room for argument so Loki just nodded.
Odin pulled him into a hug and Loki put one hand on Odin's side, not being able to do anything else because of the handcuffs.
They broke apart as Vili came back in and Odin placed his hands back on Loki's shoulders and whispered. "We will get you back," Before kissing his forehead.
Vili grabbed Loki's arm. "Is that all, All-Father?"
Odin kept his eyes on Loki's and nodded curtly. Loki bit his lip and closed his eyes as Vili lead him away, nudging him every now and then to make him walk faster. Odin went ahead of them to tell the other Asgardians what was happening and was met with outraged cried.
"Odin, we just got our son back and now you're letting them take him away again?! To Jotunheim this time? At least Midgard was relatively safe!" Frigga protested.
"Loki and I aren't really on the best of terms but not even he deserves to have to stay in Jotunheim," Sif shook her head, feeling an overwhelming amount of sympathy for her old friend.
Hogun, Fandral and Volstagg nodded in agreement to Sif's statement and Thor stepped in front of his father.
"Father, please, don't do this, don't let those things take him away from me- us. Please," He looked on the verge of tears, something Odin hadn't seen in many years.
Odin shook his head and apologized to them, saying he had little choice.
When they had stopped arguing Loki had already been taken to the Bifrost. Heimdall gave the group an odd look but allowed them back to Jotunheim, sensing Odin has permitted it.
Vili looked down at Loki, stood by his side, and smiled.
"Welcome home, Prince,"
