Kind of a short one I know, I haven't updated in a while, please forgive?
Loki was waking up to a very warm bed, and next to a very warm body. He felt the sun hit his eyes, warming his face. It didn't take him long to remember what had happened the night before, and it didn't take him that long to get embarrassed over it.
He lifted his head and looked next to him, Thor was still fast asleep; his hair matted all over his face. Loki suppressed a chuckle as he noticed it. Carefully he got up, he stumbled a bit when he stood. His lower back was a little sore but nothing serious. He grabbed some loose pants and a shirt. Tucking in the shirt he went into the bathroom, fixed his hair and quickly went out the door before Thor could wake up.
Loki wanted some time to think before Thor woke up, and he was find of taking walks in the morning. He liked to sit in his mother's garden, which was where he was headed.
Her garden was the best, it had everything. It was a good place for thoughts, once Loki arrived there he made his way to the bench where he always sat.
"Loki my dear!"
He jumped and turned to see his mother walking towards him, "Mother, I didn't see you there." He was worried she was suspicious of him. She had ways of knowing things, Loki was hoping she didn't know what had occurred last night.
"I've been up for some time, what brings you here?" She asked sitting down next to him.
"I felt like taking a walk." Loki said, which wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the exactly the truth.
Frigga just looked at her son, smiling. She was going to go into uncharted territory, "Loki I think we need to talk about something."
Loki's heart started racing, there was no way she knew. How could she know!? Loki didn't realize it but he was breathing hard.
"Loki calm down, take a breath." Frigga held her sons back, calming him. "I'm not mad Loki, I just want to talk."
Loki took a deep breath, "How did you know?"
She smiled, "Well, you're actions just now confirmed it."
Loki groaned and put his head in his arms. This was not happening.
"Dear, how long has this been going on between Thor and yourself?" She knew how delicate her son was, she needed to be careful.
Loki ran a hand through his hair, still breathing hard; "Not long…"
She nodded, "Since when?"
Loki thought as he twiddled his fingers, "He shared his feelings with me recently, when I found out about my true… Background."
"And do you have the same feelings?" She carefully asked.
Loki took a moment to answer, he didn't want to lie, not to his mother. He would never lie to his mother. "I have for some time."
She wasn't expecting that, but she understood it. Loki had always been close to Thor, Frigga noticed that from when they were very young. Where Thor went, Loki went. Thor was always there when Loki needed him, but for Loki to have come to love Thor… Well, it was unexpected.
Loki looked to his mother, he was beginning to worry when she wasn't saying anything. The thing he wouldn't be able to handle was if his mother looked at him strange. That would kill him.
"Loki, I can't tell you how this is going to turn out. But I want the both of you to be happy, no matter what."
Loki smiled a little, "I know, we've talked about it… Thor seems dead set on this. He says he won't take any one else."
Frigga laughed, "That sounds like your brother all right."
Loki smiled, "I know, but I don't know how to tell father."
She didn't know the answer to that; Odin was a whole other issue that needed to be worked on. It was clear Odin loved both his boys, but for them to have come to this decision; it was going to be a challenge. "We'll hide it for now, I will not tell him. But you two had better come up with something. It's true that you're not blood related, so in that sense there isn't a problem. But the fact that you were raised as brothers under the people's eyes, some may not take kindly to this."
Loki sighed, placing his head back in his hands; "I know. Thank you for not telling him." Loki didn't want to admit it, but he was sacred of Odin rejecting him again, and then rejecting Thor. Thor didn't deserve anything, and Loki didn't want Thor to have to go through that.
"I love you Loki, everything will turn out some way or another." She hugged her son, seeing the way he looked so broken and confused made her heart break. "Let's just focus in the announcement. I think in a few days your father will have you rehearse the dinner."
Loki sighed, "Lovely, I can't wait to see how that's going to pan out."
She smiled softly, "We will allow no one to judge you Loki, and you must believe me."
He smiled and hugged his mother, "I swear I don't know where I'd be without you."
