Thor's skin was covered in grime and he smelled.
"Whew! Let's get you a shower big boy." Loki smiled like he hadn't smiled in years. He led Thor into the bathroom which was large and luxurious. Loki's heart was glad for it and swelled with pride. He wanted to pamper the shit out of Thor. He started the bath and poured a generous amount of bubble bath into the hot steaming water. Thor watched him with a warm smile. He kept taking deep breaths, relishing the taste and smell of fresh living air. He didn't even know he was missing it.
His stomach growled loud enough to be heard over the rushing of the bath water and Loki turned and chuckled.
"I'm going to finish roasting that turkey breast. I need to run downstairs and turn the oven back on. I'll be right back." Loki left Thor to his privacy and darted downstairs. Everywhere he looked he saw little reminders of the Starks. A pulled out chair or a half empty glass of water. Emily and Daniel's bodies had been destroyed in the mirror realm. Aside from their luggage and their car there was no trace that the Starks were ever here. There were no bodies to recover.
For a moment he felt overwhelmed so he let himself cry. Thor was a big boy and he could bathe himself. He checked the rice which was half-cooked yet mushy from sitting in the water. He tossed it and pulled out the instant mashed potatoes and a packet of instant gravy. Thor would probably eat all of it and ask for seconds.
He poured himself a drink. Lord knows he'd earned it. It only took five minutes for the mashed potatoes and gravy to be ready. The turkey still had another 20 minutes to go. Loki went back upstairs and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Come in." Thor called. Loki entered and saw a glorious sight. Thor looked beautiful. The water was disgusting and brown but he looked amazing. He'd even shaved his face and the baby soft young face was handsome. Loki felt weak in the knees.
"Dinner will be ready in a few minutes. I hope you like turkey and mashed potatoes."
"It's like Thanksgiving. Of course I'll like it." Thor smiled. Loki looked down at the pile of disgusting dirty clothes on the floor.
"Oh…um… let me find you something clean to wear." Loki picked up the dirty clothes and left the bathroom again. Loki mentally inventoried every scrap of clothing he owned but knew nothing would fit Thor. It was then he noticed Tony's luggage on the bed.
Tony was much closer in size to Thor than Loki was, at least in the waist. Loki put the dirty clothes down for a moment and riffled through Mr. Starks things, finding a nice set of sweat pants and a white t-shirt that would work. He took the folded items in to Thor.
"Here, I think these will fit." He said.
"Well, if they don't I'll just have to walk around here naked." Thor grinned. Loki swallowed hard. The exhaustion really hit hard then. Emotionally, Loki felt completely drained, and Thor saw it in his face.
"You've endured much these past many weeks. You look tired. Tonight, after dinner you and I will fall asleep in each other's arms. Only sleep. Okay?" Thor said. Loki nodded. He'd like that.
"You've endured a lot the past five years. How do you feel?" Loki asked.
"Alive. Energetic even. Hungry. I can't tell you how good this bath feels." Thor said as he scrubbed his feet vigorously.
"Here let me get your back." Loki said. He knelt beside the large claw foot tub with a washcloth and a big bar of Irish Spring soap and lathered the hell out of it. He scrubbed Thor down everywhere the man couldn't reach himself. Thor moaned at the pleasurable touch.
"Keep that up and your dinner will burn." Loki smiled. "I'll let you finish up. I'm going to check on the turkey." Loki left, taking the dirty clothes with him downstairs. He tossed them down to the basement next to the washing machine, not that he thought they were salvageable. He pulled the turkey breast from the oven and cut off all the little strings he used to tie it up into a neat little roll. It carved beautifully, making pinwheel slices of succulent meat flavored with orange, lavender, and butter. As Loki was spooning up the mashed potatoes Thor came down the stairs looking like a summer sky and smelling like the forest.
Loki forgot to breathe. Thor's stomach growled again and Loki put his plate down at the table. Thor sat down and dived right in like a soldier in the middle of a combat zone. Within seconds the plate was empty.
"More?" Loki asked.
"Please!" Thor said with stuffed chipmunk cheeks. Loki took the plate and was back in a flash, this time with it overflowing with turkey and more mashed potatoes. Thor ate it all.
"Would you like something to drink? Soda or something?"
"Ice water. I've missed ice." Thor said. Instantly a joke sprang to Loki's mind about people in hell wanting ice water and he almost chuckled. He brought Thor his beverage and sat down beside him.
"Aren't you hungry?" Thor asked around a mouth full of food. He merely shook his head.
"Today's events have robbed me of my appetite." Loki said. Thor downed his beverage and then looked at Loki expectantly.
"So now what do you want to do?"
"Sleep. And cry." Loki said.
"Okay." They headed down to the basement. Thor looked around what was once his old room. It had not changed much except for a few personal items and the new occupant is was just as he had left it. He looked a Loki and laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"I like the new addition."
"What new addition?"
"You." Thor climbed into bed with Loki and snuggled up close to the man. Loki curled around Thor like a cat, resting his raven head on Thor's massive chest, his arm draped across Thor's midsection. Loki let the tears come. His friend Emily was dead, his parents murdered by people he had trusted. Those children suffering in torment for so long. His mother…if only he'd had a few minutes with her alone to tell her all the things inside his heart.
Thor held his savior in his arms. For the first time in five years he feels awake, like it was all a twisted nightmare dotted with wonderful moments from Loki's visits. It has been a long time since Thor had a linear thought. He's so used to jumping backwards and forwards in time. He thought of Ernie and an acceptance fell over him. He's obsessed enough over what happened. He will dwell on it no more.

Loki awoke to the unfamiliar sensation of a large warm body cradling his. It was an exquisite sensation. He hummed his approval and squeezed even closer to Thor taking in the man's scent and touch. Loki's morning glory pressed firmly to Thor's thigh. Thor opened his eyes and looked down at his love.
"Good morning." He said. Loki smiled into Thor's chest, rubbing his cheek against the harden nipple through the cotton fabric.
"Mmm."
Thor hand drew little circles with his fingers on the small of Loki's back as the other held Loki's hand. Thor's morning wood was stiff and proud beneath the soft bulky comforter. Loki looked up at Thor and moved his head to kiss him. It was a lazy kiss, filled with the knowledge that there was no rush now. They could lay here like this all day if they wanted. Thor felt his passion stir and he pulled Loki completely on top of him. Thor's fingers found Loki's hair and they kissed for what felt like hours. Their erections rubbed against each other and Loki's body jumped from the unexpected pleasure.
He sat up, straddling Thor and pulled off his shirt. Thor hands flew to the creamy flesh and mapped its contours. His thumb raked over a nipple and Loki's breath hitched. Thor repeated the action, making the pink nub harden and pebble. Loki hands raked under Thor's shirt, caressing his taut abs and making him jump a bit.
"Ticklish." His deep voice rumbled. Loki chuckled but continued up. Thor sat up slightly and Loki helped him remove his shirt.
"So beautiful." Loki's eyes hooded with desire. Thor's was as well. Thor reached for Loki's erection and palmed it through his boxers.
"SSSSah!" Loki arched at the unexpected touch. Thor gently freed Loki's cock and began stroking it. Loki hands scrambled for a moment, eager to reciprocate the touch, but Thor's cock was poking him in the butt, so Loki ground his hips down.
"I…"
"Shhh love. You don't need to do anything. Let me touch you. Close your eyes and just feel." Thor said. Loki did. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back as Thor's calloused hand wrapped and dragged slowly up and down his cock. His whole body tingled and he felt like he was going to tremble until he fell to pieces. He opened his eyes and looked back down into Thor's, seeing nothing but admiration and arousal.
"So lovely." Thor whispered. The men locked gazes as Thor continued to stroke Loki, slow and deliberate. Loki's breathing got shallower and shallower and his thighs twitched.
"Please." He quietly begged. Thor surprised Loki, flipping him onto his back. With Thor now above him, he slinked down Loki's body until his mouth was hovering above his hips.
"Thor?"
"Shh. Let me taste you." Thor took him into his mouth and Loki cried the pleasure was so painful. Loki felt his orgasm building and could not contain his shouts.
"Thor! Oh God! Thor! I'm coming. I'm coming darling oh God!" Loki spilled into Thor's mouth, which the golden man sucked down with reverence. Loki shuddered and whined from the sensitivity. Thor stroked Loki's thigh as he rode out the high.
"That was…that was…"
"Way better than dream sex."
"Fuck yes. Oh Thor…I want to make love to you. I want to suck your dick and ride you and make you scream my name." Loki panted.
"Okay." Thor grinned. The men laid there for a moment and giggled at one another.
"Lie down." Loki ordered.
"Yes sir!" Thor said. Loki scooted down the bed and hooked his fingers into the waistband of Thor's pants and slid them off. Loki has seen Thor's cock before but it never fails to impress him. It is meaty and massive in both length and girth and yet silky softness and firm shaft all in one.
"Your dick is perfect." Loki said. Loki took it in hand and licked a long strip up from balls to tip before engulfing it in his mouth. It was Thor's turn to babble and arch. Taking on Thor's cock was no small effort. Loki opened his jaw as wide as it would go and relaxed his throat as much as he could, but once Loki got the large rod down past the back of his throat he felt pride when he was the shocked look in Thor's eyes. Loki clenched his throat muscles and hummed.
"Oh!" Thor bucked his hips and came. When he was done, Loki pulled off the softening cock and curled up next to Thor. They held hands, comparing the sizes and shapes of their fingers.
"Look at you with your long beautiful spider fingers."
"I like yours better. Large and rough. Do you know how wonderful it feels when you touch me?"
"As wonderful as it feels when you touch me." They moved to their sides and faced one another and spent the morning memorizing every mole, scar, imperfection, and hair follicle. Eventually the call of nature and hunger dragged them both out of bed.
