(Sorry for just now updating. I've had alot going on and I hope you can forgive me. Enjoy.)
Later that night, Thor and Loki enjoyed dinner together in Thor's chambers. Roasted meat, a loaf of fresh bread, grapes, strawberries, and mead of course. With a full stomach, Loki crawls under the thick, red blanket laying atop Thor's plush mattress. His raven locks stand out against the bright white and gold of the large pillows, where it lies neatly.
Thor's hair is an entirely different story. It nearly blends in with the gold, and instead of being neat, it is in a messy mass around his head. The older's eyes wandered the bare upper torso of his younger, blue orbs pausing at each scar and sliver of ruined flesh. Without a doubt, Loki was beaten and tortured more than what Thor first assumed; Loki had the scars to prove it.
The younger's chest rose and fell steadily, his eyelids growing heavy as exhaustion sweeps over him. "You shouldn't love me, you know...I'm like a spell gone wrong..you never know when I'll be disastrous. I don't want to hurt you. Most of all, I don't deserve you. " Loki's usually rough voice is soft and quiet, showing the vulnerability of his current state. Thor eyed his brother, unsure of what to say.
Right from the start
I knew that I found a home for my
Heart beats fast
Colours and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow...
One.
Step.
Closer....
"Loki...if anything, I don't deserve you. You're special, and powerful, and intelligent, an-"
He's cut off by the pained words of the smaller man.
"A monster. A cruel-hearted being. I've killed people. I've hurt those who took care of me as a mere child. I turned on you and mother. I've disappointed you both. I don't ever want to do that again..I'm afraid, Thor."
Thor's face contorts in a look of confusion. "Afraid of what? Hurting me? You won't, Loki. I know you won't."
'No, you oaf. Afraid of this. Of us. We could be punished more than imaginable if the All-father found out. Mother would be so ashamed of us. We would be the fools of Asgard. I already am. I'm afraid that this could affect you in ways I do not wish it to."
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all he is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
"No...Loki...listen to me. I have waited for this ever since we were no more than boys. I have loved you all my life and I plan to continue for as long as I shall live. I won't lose you and nothing will ever change that." Thor's hand cups Loki's jaw, pulling him towards him in a firm yet gentle kiss full of love and protection. Their lips move in sync, as if melting against each other into one single, perfect rhythm.
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
I'll love you for a thousand more
