They weren't sure how long the two of them laid there, the silence was rather calming and they were enjoying listening to the breathing of the other. It was Loki who decided he wanted to get up, "I think I should take a shower." Thor nodded and removed himself from Loki so he could get up. Loki quickly found his pants and put them back on before going into the bathroom.

Thor smiled at Loki who was obviously shy about his body; Thor had gotten the idea to follow him into the bathroom. But decided to let Loki have some space and he really didn't have the desire to get up. So he stretched himself out in the bed and let out a deep breath.

So far so good, Loki seemed to be in better spirits and Thor was just thankful that they had worked out their little problem. But he could already feel the other issues weighing on him. Their relationship wasn't something the people needed to know about, but in a way; everyone needed to know. He didn't want to know his father's reaction; he shivered at the thought of it. They're mother might be more reasonable about it. But then again, how would he react of he found out his two sons were in love with one another; to be honest, Thor didn't know the answer to that.

Loki let his muscles relax as he stepped into the hot bath; it felt good to release the tension. His face was currently half submerged in the water; he was staring at the ceiling going over the events that had just occurred. He wanted to feel disgusted at what had transpired between himself and Thor, but he couldn't because Thor had made him feel amazing. Thor had somehow managed to rid Loki of doubt towards his brother; Thor had proved that he did in fact love Loki. And Loki realized that that was all he had ever wanted.

Frigga was standing in her garden; "Thor is in love with Loki." She knew better than to question what she had just heard; Heimdall had no reason to lie. She didn't want to say she wasn't unsettled by this, but she was. And yet she wasn't. She wanted nothing but happiness for her boys, whatever that happiness may be.

Since they were not blood related, that made it okay. But since they were raised as siblings; that made it wrong. Valhalla knows how people of Asgard would take the news.

She took a seat on her bench, how am I going to tell Odin, should I? Odin is who scared her the most; this would either be a blessing, or a complete disgrace to the family. She sighed, "I need to know how deep Thor's feelings go, and Loki's as well."

"Dear are you here?"

Frigga stood up at the sound of her husband's voice, "Yes, over here."

Odin came walking towards her, "Have you seen the boys today, I didn't have time to speak with them yesterday." She smiled, "They're in their rooms, how did the meeting go?"

Odin sighed, "The people's vote is that Thor is to be the next ruler."

Frigga frowned, "That's going to cause some issues, what did you say?"

"I said they were both suitable, both could serve. Thor is great in battle, and he's very determined; but he acts fast and is quick to fight. Loki is smart, and knows how to speak wisely; his magic defends him, but he's not made for battle. You could say everyone wasn't sure of their vote after I was done."

Frigga smiled and kissed his cheek, "Thank you for sticking up for the both of them."

Odin nodded, "There wasn't anything else I could do, and they are both my boys."

Frigga nodded, "They are, and maybe we should spend the day with them? I know Loki would like to see Jötun." She hinted to him.

"Seems like a brilliant idea, I think I will do so. I must go there first. The war may be over, but I haven't returned there since the war." Odin said worriedly.

Frigga nodded, "Please take some warriors with you."

Odin nodded, "I will return soon."

Loki came out of the bath much more relaxed; Thor was still lying on the bed. But he sat up when he saw Loki, "Feel better?" Loki nodded, "Yes, what were you just thinking about?" Thor ran a hand through his hair, "Us, and how this is going to work."

Loki didn't know either, "Maybe we just shouldn't tell anyone." That seemed like the only option to the problem. Odin must not find out, that was obvious, and Frigga? Well, it would be better if she didn't know either.

"What of the coronation? Whoever gets picked will need a wife, and I refuse to take any women when I have you."

Loki sighed, running a hand through his wet hair; "Thor, we still have time before that happens. And things may take a different turn."

Thor clearly didn't like Loki saying that for he got up and grabbed Loki's shoulders, "My feelings for you will not waver, so do not say such things."

Loki gave him a serious look, "Thor. Father will not allow such actions from us, it would hurt the family." Loki hadn't wanted to say that, but it was running through his mind since he had gotten out of the bathtub. "And there will be no heir if this did somehow manage to work out."

Thor let go and put a hand on his chin, "We don't know that much about Frost Giants, maybe there's a way around it?"

Loki shrugged, "Asgard doesn't have the all the books we would need to research such a thing. The best place to look into would be in Jötun."

Thor took a moment to think, a smile appearing on his face, "Then, it looks like we will have to go into Jötun."

Loki looked at Thor like he was crazy, "Thor we cannot do that! Imagine what father would say if found out, which he will mind you!"

Thor shook his head, "We'll be in and out before anyone notices we're gone." Loki rolled his eyes, "Oh and I suppose you have a plan to get there without Heimdalls' help?"

Thor was about to say something when there was a knock on their door.

"Young Princes, the Allfather requests your presence in the throne room." A servant spoke from the other side.

"We will be there soon." Loki said, for Thor seemed stumped for some reason.

"What do you think he wants?" Thor questioned.

"Who knows, maybe he overheard our little plan and plans to put an end to it." Loki mused.

"Not funny brother, come one let's go."
