It was a freezing morning in New Asgard and not a single soul was out except for one man. The king of Asgard was frantically running across the street in nothing but a flimsy sweatshirt that barely protected him from the biting cold but he cared less.
"Loki where are you?" Thor nearly screamed, he had been searching for Loki for half an hour now.
It would have been a normal start of the day for Thor if he didn't wake up with a pillow in him arms instead of his brother. He bolted uptight, his plans for another hour of snuggling and kissing loki vanished in seconds as horrible thoughts started plaguing his mind. Loki could be in the washroom but his brain could not help being ridiculous. Thor hated this feeling.
It was still dark outside and after a quick scan of the house, Thor ran out of the door,not bothering to close it properly. He was aware that he was not adequately dressed but wasting another few moments in dressing and not searching for a Loki would be distressing. He needed to see his brother or else this crawling anxiety would kill him, Thor was sure of it.
He had crossed half of the town and still there was no sign of Loki. Thor was heaving, it felt that his heart would jump out of his mouth and it had little to do with all the running he had done. Thor decided to walk to the nearest cliff and wait until his heart settled, he couldn't continue like this. It was the same cliff where his father had disappeared to join his mother in Valhalla. Thor hoped they were happy and at peace. He had wished the same for himself but norns hated him.
Thor had his head down when he reached the top of the cliff, a gust of wind hit his him which send shivers down his spine, making Thor lift his head.
"Oh." Thor whispered. There he was, That bastard, That son of.. his mother. His back was facing Thor but he must have felt his presence and he made no move to acknowledge it. Thor hastened his pace towards Loki, with every intention to scream some sense into his brother. The god of mischief was born to consume him, what else was his purpose in life other that keeping Thor on the edge. He was lucky that Thor loved him more than life.
"Loki!" He called out but Loki didn't turn. The water had become more interesting to him, so Thor stood in front of him..blocking the view.
"Good morning Thor." Loki looked up, his eyes shining with mirth and Thor forget to breath for a moment.
"Good morning? Do have any idea how do I feel right now? What is it with you disappearing like that-" Thor felt his eyes filling up with tears, his voice broke at the end. He would not cry for norns sake.
"Come here." Loki pulled him close, wrapping his arms around Thor's middle, face buried between his pecs. Thor instinctively cradled the back of his brother's neck.
"I just came for a walk."
"You need to stop troubling yourself over such mundane things. It doesn't suit you." Loki said after a brief pause.
They stayed like that for a while before Thor pulled out to sit beside his little one and he suddenly noticed what his brother was wearing, one of his old t-shirt.
"Odin's beard Loki, it's freezing out here...You'll make yourself sick brother. Let's go home and I'll brew you some tea." Thor nearly hissed, he didn't mind acting like their mother sometimes.
"I'm a frost giant brother. Remember? You on the other hand -" Loki chuckled as he judging eyes piercing Thor from top to bottom.
"Hey! I was worried alright, it slipped out of my mind and you are more important than my-"
"hush brother, you are talking more than than my liking." Loki brushed his nose against Thor's as his long cold fingers found a way under Thor's sweatshirt, pinching his nipple.
Thor gulped. Loki knew how sensitive his chest was and he often used this particular knowledge to silence Thor.
"You were running huh? Good. I should disappear more often then if it's gonna make you do some physical exercise.. brother."
"Don't you dare-" Thor was again silenced by Loki's mouth on his, He took in a sharp breath as his brother's tongue invaded his mouth. Thor gave in quickly and returned the kiss with equal enthusiasm. He pulled Loki on his lap, his firm hands holding Loki's waist tightly. The kissed deepened and Loki continued massaging his tits. His hand didn't feel cold anymore. 'seidr' Thor's mind supplied. They explored the familiar territory of each other's mouth until both ran out of breath.
"You look like a tomato." Loki smiled against his lips. "Oh right, I've to make you some tomato soup." Thor smiled wider and then gasped as his nipples got pinched again. Thor felt his heart threatening him again but for a different reason. He was overcome with affection as he watched his brother giggle. It made him wonder if it was possible to love someone as much as he loved Loki. What if it was all in his head. He shrugged the thoughts away to focus again on Loki, who was sniffing at his neck now. "hmm lavender".
Norns he would never understand why Loki took so much interest in his bodily smell. Then again he loved how Loki smelled of mint and fresh winter....
"okay hurry up. Time to go home now." Thor said after a moment, shifting a little and Loki got up only to be settled more comfortably on his brother's thighs, pressing his back against Thor's chest.
"Sun is about to rise, let's wait until then." Loki said, materialising a thick blanket and wrapped it around both of them. Thor only hummed in response as he rested his chin on his brother's shoulder. Thor was happy, he felt content. He had his brother safe in his arms and he would not lose Loki, never.
" Oh brother! Stop thinking and see, the sun is shining."
