Apologies! I was gone longer than I wanted to be. I was stuck with exams all week and took two days off to sleep!
Thor felt slightly guilty about lying to Frigga, but he was going to his room instead of his friends. For he knew Loki was in there, but he was quiet to enter; good thing too because Loki was asleep.
Thor silently went over to Loki and observed his sleeping form, and he was sleeping with complete ease and content; which Thor thanked Valhalla for. Taking the blanket he covered Loki with it, who moved on his back during the process. Loki's eyes were red and puffy, and the residue of tears clung to his cheeks. Thor sighed as he finished covering him up, he was going to take his mother's advice; but what if Loki didn't make any moves? Loki really wasn't that type of person, so Thor figured he would try and talk to Loki about it when he woke. Regardless if I'm bad with words, I need to let him know…
Thor carefully climbed into the bed next to Loki, who instinctively snuggled next to him. Loki had never been fond of sleeping alone, and Thor protectively wrapped his arms around him. Soon both were in a very peaceful sleep and they were not to wake up until late night when the sun had set long ago.
Loki was the first to awake, he loved the feeling of his bed; it had to have been the softest bed in all of Asgard. Making a move to stretch he was blocked the feeling of an arm wrapped around him. Opening his eyes he saw a mess of blonde hair; Thor. Curious as to why Thor was in bed with him, he made an attempt to move his brother's arm; which was instantly was deemed impossible.
Sighing he tried to wiggle out, that also proved to be impossible. Slightly irritated he turned and ended up facing Thor; who was in a peaceful sleep.
It wasn't often that Thor wasn't talking or moving in some way or another. So this was a rare and nice occasion that did not occur that often. Regardless of what had conspired today Loki was grateful for this moment.
Loki had caught himself staring at Thor while he was sleeping before, and he would always admit Thor was very good looking.
Mentally slapping himself he shook his head. Thor was still out cold leaving Loki stuck in his arms. He subconsciously started to play with Thor's hair.
"Do not tempt me brother."
Loki jumped at the sudden voice, "You were up?"
Thor smiled and opened his eyes, "I was and you were moving quiet a lot. I was finding it hard to go back to sleep." Loki blushed, "I was trying to get up…" Thor blinked and removed his arm, "Do you have to use the bathroom?" Loki stopped for a moment; he didn't really have a reason to get up. "Um, yeah," Moving fast so Thor wouldn't ask another question he went into the bathroom.
Well, now that Loki was awake and was currently away at the restroom Thor began plotting his "talk." What was the best way to bring it up? Would Loki actually want to listen to his blabbering? Question after question ran through his head until he saw the bathroom door open and Loki stepped out.
Taking a deep breath he sat up, "Brother, can we talk?"
He watched Loki freeze, "About what?"
Thor scratched his head, "About… What's been going on lately?"
"If you're talking about the announcement I'd rather not." Loki stated blankly. Thor smiled and shook his head, "No it's not about that."
Loki continued to stare at him, "Then about what?" Loki wasn't stupid, he knew what Thor wanted to talk about; but Loki wanted to avoid that topic at any costs.
"It's about our relationship Loki, I believe we need to discuss it." Thor spoke in a firm voice, which he was rather proud of himself for. Loki looked down, trying to come up with some way of getting out of this.
"I don't see the need to."
Thor sighed, "Brother what did you mean when you said I never considered your feelings?" Thor was tired of beating around the bush and wanted answers.
Loki suddenly felt trapped and started to panic, it was obvious Thor wasn't going to stop this conversation. And his mind wasn't coming up with any witty remarks, for once Loki knew he had to tell the truth. To him that was a terrifying idea in itself, but he agreed with Thor deep down; this issue had to be resolved, whether he liked it or not. There was enough stress on his plate now as it was.
Taking a deep breath Loki answered Thor's question, "You haven't considered my feelings, you've been snogging me as you please without asking me my take on the matter!" Loki tried to control his voice, but he ended up shouting anyways.
Thor sighed and frowned, his worse fear came true; Loki didn't have those feelings for him. But he would not do what his brother didn't want, thankfully he mentally prepared for this, "I shall stop then, I should have asked you-" But before Thor could finished Loki interrupted him.
"Do you even listen!?" Loki had about had it with Thor's insolence, "I never said I didn't feel the same way! You just acted upon your feelings at the wrong time! I've felt the same way towards you since you kissed me; I knew it wrong to be attracted to your brother. But after finding out we aren't blood related, I've become even more confused!" Loki took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
Thor stared at him dumbfounded. So Loki did in fact have feelings towards him. He took what Loki had said to heart and got up and walked to him, placing his hands on Loki's shoulders, "Allow me to apologize Loki, I did not mean to cause you pain. Not now of all times, I did not bother to consider my actions before I made them."
Loki's chest hurt again, and he wanted nothing but Thor's comfort. "You need to work on that idiot." Loki's voice cracked as his emotions started to best him again, as they had been these last few days. Thor who noticed pulled Loki into a hug, "Calm yourself brother, I am here and I will not go anywhere."
Loki took that as leave to let it out. Sure he had cried only hours ago, but now he had Thor here; offering the only comfort he wanted. Thor was the only one Loki cried in front of, for he never feared judgment. So, Loki cried a rather hard into Thor's arms, and he stood there holding him and never leaving; just as promised.
Slight cliffhanger. Sorry, (:
