Safe In Your Arms (Thor x Loki)

You...you what?

Both men jolt awake, a cacophony of clashing armour clammering down the large hallways.

"Find him!! Find the devil!! Find the Jotun monster!"

Sad, icy, blue eyes fall upon Loki, catching the glimmer of rage welling up in the smaller's piercing green orbs.

"Loki...listen to me. You are neither a devil nor monster. I vowed to you I would keep you safe. I shall not let them find you. You have my word."

Thor stands, making his way across the room, early morning sunlight beaming off his incredibly sculpted body, muscles taunt and strong. For a reason Loki didn't understand, he couldn't take his eyes off the older.

Clearing his throat, Loki stands. "I'm going to bathe. Do no disturb me. I will not hesitate to use my tricks on you." With that, the younger made his way into the bathroom, the sound of running water filling the soft silence that occupied the room.

--------------------------

Loki strides out of the bathroom in only black sleep pants, all other clothing items discarded. HIs raven black hair clean, combed back neatly as usual, falling to sit on top of his narrow shoulders. Milky white skin makes his hair and eyes pop more, making it even harder for Thor to take his eyes off him. Loki was still thin from the torture that had happened to him months ago, the scars from where his chains dug into his wrists still present, thin lines across his back from lashings. Except every single flaw seem to just make Loki more beautiful. More...desirable. And the way that those mischievious eyes feel intensely upon Thor made him shudder inside.

"I must ask you something, Thor. You will answer honestly. Or there will be consequences."

"Ask me anything, Loki. You know I will tell you my answer in all truth."

"Why..why did you free me. Why did you care for me and raise my health back to normal. Why are you protecting me."

"Because I love you, Loki." The words fell out of Thor's mouth, too fast for him to realise what he had said.

"You cannot love me as a brother for we are not of the same blood. We are not related. We are not brothers."

"I never said that it was a brotherly love..." Silence immediately followed Thor's words, making him regret it almost instantly. Though it was too late to turn back now. He has to tell Loki how he felt. How he has felt his entire life. "As we were growing up, I felt this way, yet I swore to myself I would never acknoledge the feelings I felt towards you. If the Allfather found out, I knew he would banish us both, or kill us. Which is why he still must not find out."

"You...you what?" The look on the younger man's face wanted to make Thor never speak again, but yet he couldn't just keep the truth from Loki forever. Thus, he continues.

"I love you, Loki. As a partner. Not merely a brother."

Within seconds, a pair of thin, warm lips are roughly slammed against Thor's, clashing in a kiss that caught the older off guard. It was full of heat, love, desire, and overdue passion. When it finally came to an end, both men stare at each other, smirks spreading across both of their faces.

"Now that that is settled...fetch me some food, I am rather hungry. I'd go myself but it appears I'm being hunted by Asgardian soldiers. So I'll just stay here." And with that, Loki plops down on the bed, smirking as Thor saunters out the door, grinning like a fool.
