Recently, Loki had been taking a particular interest in Jotunn magic and history. He knew he couldn't trust the asgardian books as he knew odin could be very bias. So he made the impulsive and horrible desion to take a trip to a library in Jotumheim. He really shouldn't of, but he also decided to go alone and not tell a sole.
That was a mistake since as soon as he got theres he fell through a bunch of tress and got cuts and scratches all over him. Although he didnt let that bother him. So he got up, brushed himself off and started off to find the library. He had made sure to try and have Heimdall somewhere atleast near a large building that could potentially be a library. Luckly, once he got to the building it was a library. Just one thats not in use.
When he snuck in, he didnt immediately find anyone, but after he had read at least 25 pages in a Jotunn history book he heard someone coming in.
"hello..?" the voice said, "is someone here? i wont be mad." they couldn't have been older then 11, 12 at most and 9 at the youngest.
"Im here, sorry if im intruding.." Loki said as he closed the book. He got up and rounded the corner, making eye contact with the boy.
"youre- youre asgardian.." The now identified voice said, it was a Jotunn boy. He had white short hair, red eyes, blue skin with markings on his arms and legs, and light freckles. He looked afraid.
He doesnt like when people are afraid of him.
"yes, i am. ive come here for research. nothing bad,, i just figured that asgards books could be a bit bias.. since yaknown, Odin.." Loki shifted uncomfortably while ending his sentence.
"oh." the boy softened up a bit, "well, i suppose so.. this library has some of the most authentic books from the war. its pretty old but most of its destroyed." the boy moved a bit closer. "Im Jasper. Whats your name?" he smiled.
"Im.. Loki. its nice to meet you." He was still cautious, but the boy seemed nice enough.
"Isnt Loki Odins son?" he said wide eyed.
"unfortunally.."
"why unfortunally?" he tilted his head in confusion.
"well, he treats me differently then Thor. He acts like im less then. But im not. Atleast i dont think so.."
"Youre not less then," he frowned, "youre unique, and youre not less then. You are the first asgardian ive heard of trying to get the other side of the story. thats says alot about you. you dont go in blind and you dont trust whatever is told to you. thats really nice."
Loki smiled once again, feeling a bit better about himself.
"Thanks. How about you? whats your parents like?"
"well.. i dont have any. Jotunn children muture alot younger then asgardins. Its possible for us to move out at 8 or 9. my parents dont like me since they just keep having children. they have so many they can barely remember them all."
"oh. i mutured young too, im sorry.. so why do you come here?"
Jasper lights up, "i love reading! Also writing!"
"i can show you some of my favorite history books if youd like!" Jasper smiled.
"That'd be nice," Loki smiled softly.
Over all they had spent atleast 8 hours just reading together. Japer handing him books and him reading them, Loki taking a asgardian book from his pocket realm and giving it to Jasper.
"Its getting pretty late.. i should get back to asgard now." Loki muttered as he stretched.
"yeah, are you gonna come more often?" Jasper said, a hopeful look in his eyes
Loki thought for a minute, "yes, ive enjoyed my time with you, but my mom and brother have probably noticed my absence by now." he smiled.
"I'll see you soon!" Jasper grins,
Loki waves and asks Heimdall to bring him back to asgard.
"Hello little one." Heimdall smiled, "how did it go?"
"you know, you could see it." he giggled a bit at the silliness of the question.
Heimdall smiled, he hadnt seen Loki this happy and comfy in a while. "well, i guess it was a silly question." he laughed softly.
"your brother is waiting for you."
"Okay!" Loki ran off to his chambers.
As soon as he got there Thor was there sitting on the edge of his bed in their shared room.
"Loki! How are you? Where were you?" Thor got out of the bed and when he turned his head towards Loki his eyes went wide.
"Loki... Why are you blue?" Thor asked
"wha-" Loki looked down at his skin and sure enough, it was blue with markings just like Jasper. He ran over to the mirror while Thor shut the door so no one could see.
As Loki looked in the mirror he took in his appearance he saw marking on his face against his blue skin, his now red eyes. He was shocked and confused, why did he look Jotunn?
"what did you do Loki? Where did you go?" Thor asked, equally concerned as he walked p behind Loki and looked into the mirror, also taking in his brothers new appearance.
"i.. i went to Jotunheim, to study." he stuttered, still in shock.
"Thor.. i,- im- how.." he was at a loss for words,
Thor came and turned him away from the mirror.
"oh- oh my God..-" he slowly fell to his knees, Thor going with him.
"its okay Loki. it doesnt matter. im still your brother, blood or not- you will always be my little brother." He hugged Loki and took him in his arms and rocked him like when he was younger.
"it'll be okay. No one has to know. You'll be okay." Loki just continued to cry, eventually falling asleep in Thors arms.
Thor quietly rised and went to his bed. He layed down and wrapped his arms around his, now, blue little brother. Holding him tightly.
"Its okay, i'll always be your brother."
He kissed Lokis forehead and decided to take a nap alongside his brother.
