Loki paced his room with frustration. He couldn't believe he could have acted so stupidly. Thor surely would hate him now. Loki sat down on the edge of his bed and put his head in his hands. The look Thor gave him... it was heartbreaking. Loki couldn't stop the hot tears rolling down his face; shamed, disgraceful tears.
Thor felt like an eternity had passed before he finally moved. He had no idea what to do. Should he seek guidance from his father? There was no mistaking that Loki had been aroused, but still Thor tried to think of other emotions that would have matched the sound the ebony-haired God had made. Thor leant against the wall, unsure of what to do. A few minutes had passed before he exhaled and made his way towards Loki's chambers.
Loki's head shot up as a load knock interrupted his sorrow.
"Wait," He called out, cringing when his voice faltered. Hurriedly wiping the tears from his face, he unlocked and opened the beautifully-carved oak door.
"Brother, may... may I come in?" Thor shifted his weight uncomfortably outside. For the first time in his life, the older God was completely unsure of what to do.
"Fine," Loki muttered, averting his gaze from Thor and staring at the ground- ashamed. Loki left the door open, and walked back over to the bed where he awkwardly sat down.
Thor cautiously stepped into the room, pausing briefly before speaking.
"Loki... when I... erm, well when I was pushing you against the wall... were you... erm... aroused?" Thor stuttered.
Loki opened his eyes and looked in to his brother's eyes. He had been withholding his emotions for too long; he had to be honest – it was either now or never.
"Yes, brother. I was." Loki sighed and glanced forlornly around the room. His eyes snapped back onto his brother in shock and fear as he practically jumped on top of him.
Thor began to cry in to Loki's neck as he bent over him.
"I thought I was the only one that felt that way," Thor whispered. "I never thought that you would return my feelings,"
Loki placed his hands on Thor's shoulders and gently pushed him back so that he could look his brother in the eye.
"You mean... are you trying to say..." Loki trailed off, unable to finish his sentence.
"I love you, Loki Laufeyson. You are all I think about when we are apart."
"I... I love you too, Thor Odinson..."
