"You alright?" Thor asked sitting at his bed looking at curled up creature next to him.
Loki did not respond and for that he didn’t move. Thor could not see his face right now so he get a little fearful if his brother was really there, breathing.
"Loki" he moved to carefully and lightly touch Loki’s arm.
Loki pushed his hand away.
"I am fine".
Thor was speechless. Yes, they still didn’t have a close relationship but… Fighting? Is Loki serious? And he’s not fine at all- Thor thought.
"I- Are-e you sure? I don’t understan-".
"Since when do you care?!" Loki hissed and turned to him.
"I- what do you mean by that..?"
"Leave me alone"
"Ar-are you sick?" Thor tried.
"God I hate you so muc-"
Loki stopped as soon as he realized what he said. He looked at Thor, felt tears in his eyes.
It was like a knife stabbed through his chest. Thor looked back at Loki. Loki was crying or it was just his imagination? He didn’t understand a single thing of everything.
"I- .." Loki started but when his voice broke he stood up and walked out of the room.
Thor was even more speechless. Loki was a pain in ass, yes and a difficult person, but this? Loki felt his eyes getting wet and…no he was not going to cry about some stupid fight with his young brother, right?
It’s just something really did not felt right about Loki being that nervous. Was he in pain? Thor was confused and didn’t know what to do.
"I hate you"
—————————————————————————-
About a hour later, Thor heard the door open and saw his little brother walking past to the toilet, with a pale (more than usual) skin. Thor only heard the sounds of his younger brother's vomiting and immediately run to him.
"Loki”
He didn’t care if Loki was mad at him or something, he kneeled behind him and grabbed his hair. He heard Loki wept. The tiredness, the pain.
"Hey, it’s gonna be okay, I am here” Thor comforted him, rubbing his back.
Loki of tiredness, leaned against thors chest and cried of pain.
Thor felt his heart stopped at this, then he was sure something inside him got broken. As if all their joint pain has come together and they are now a cure for each other. Thor also wanted to cry. And he did. He embraced Loki in his arms and melted in his dark curls. The hug was so wholesome and needed.
“I -I am a-sorry-Thor, sorry I didn’t mea-.."
"Shhh…it’s alright-it’s okay"
How. Loki thought. How can you not hate me after everything.
Loki looked up at Thor and asked him.
"How can you not hate m-me? You are so wholesom-me. I did not deserve..”
"I love you And I will , I know there is still a lot of work ahead of us, but we will give a try?"
"I-". Loki said between sobs.
"Anyway you are sick, and you no need to stress right now, so maybe some sleep would help hm?"
They stood up. Loki was out of words so he just hugged Thor again.
Thor smiled to himself and hugged back.
“I am so sorry about- what I said…"
"I know, I know, it’s nothing seriously brother, shh”
"Thor?"
"Hm?”
“I love you too, brother”.
And Thor just in response gave him a fresh and long kiss on the head.
