Brothers
After his first dinner back in Asgard, Harry went back up to his room. It was getting late and quite a few people had retired to their beds.
He was just about to change into some nightclothes when someone knocked on his bedroom door. Who could it be at this time? "Come in," he called, and the person on the other side obeyed.
It turned out to be two people. Loki and Thor. They hesitated at the sight of his nightclothes laid out on the bed. "Were you going to go to sleep?" asked Loki. He didn't look like he was going to leave either way…
Harry shrugged. "I was, but I'm not that tired. Did you want to talk about something?"
Thor didn't hesitate and jumped right onto Harry's bed, making himself comfortable. "Well, little brother," he said, "With so much time away from you, we wanted to catch up."
Loki rolled his eyes. "We wanted to see how you were settling in after so much time away. What is it like being home again?" he asked.
Harry looked at his two brothers wondering whether he should tell them about what he had discovered upon returning. Seeing Thor's grin and Loki's mild concern reminded him that these two were his brothers, and they cared about him. "It's been alright. Dinner was the best part though; it reminded me of how it all used to be… at least I think it did."
Thor tilted his head to the side. "What do you mean, you think?"
"Well… when I got home I realised that there was something wrong," he said; his voice was quiet. Harry hadn't realised just how difficult it was going to be to tell them what had happened.
Loki frowned. "What was wrong?"
"It's difficult to explain…" Neither of his brothers looked like they were going to move until it was explained so Harry carried on. "When I got upstairs and was sat in my room, I could remember everything that had happened in here. All the memories came flooding back. But—but I felt… disconnected to them. I could remember everything but I couldn't remember the emotions that were connected to them; I still can't."
"So you cannot feel emotions from the past?" asked Loki slowly; he sounded as if he was unsure about what he was saying.
Harry nodded in agreement and Thor sat up. He wasn't grinning anymore. "Do you have any idea as to what might have caused this?"
Father. But of course he couldn't say that. Instead he shrugged. "I have no idea."
Thor and Loki looked at each other for a moment before Thor stood and moved to where his other brother was standing. "Don't worry too much about it; we'll figure out what happened," he said with a wavering smile.
Loki nodded at him and the two of them left. They seemed to have had some sort of unspoken communication going on between them. Perhaps they would know how to fix this.
