On earth:
The boy couldn't sleep at all. The thunder was so loud. It sounded like some monster that was out to get him. He tried hiding under his blanket, but when the lightning lit up outside his window as bright as the son, the little boy couldn't help but scream and run to his mother.
The mother was just sitting in the sofa sipping her warm tea and had to quickly set her cup outside to catch her crying son who quickly threw himself in his mother's arms. She let him cry for a little bit, before she gently put him in her lap and pulled back so she could wipe his face. "What's wrong my boy?" the mother asked softly. The little boy snifled a few times before he spoke up with a broken voice. "The.. the thunder.. it's so scary mom.. it sounds like some monster that's coming to get me..!" The mother hugged her son as she chuckled lightly. "You know, it's not really scary at all. The thunder and lightning. It's just Thor with his hammer." The boy looked up at his mother with curious but confused glossy eyes. "Thor with his hammer..?" His mother then smiled. "Yep, Thor with his hammer. Thor is a thunder god you see. So when he slams his hammer in the ground, it makes thunder. It's nothing scary at all you see." The little boy had stopped crying and was now listening intently, while his mother told him more about the Thunder god from Asgard.
Meanwhile on Asgard:
"LOKI!!!" Thor's voice thundered through the air and the former Jotun prankster could feel the ground vibrating under his feet as he ran, with a playful smirk tugging on his lips. Thor, being truly pissed off, threw his hammer mjølnir after his brother, who just ducked and turned to stick out his tongue, before he continued running away from his pissed off brother. "Loki!! Stop right now!" Thor shouted, as he kept trying to stop his brother with his hammer. "I don't think so brother, I have this feeling I will regret it afterwards if I do what you ask of me." Loki laughed as he ran up a mountain, Thor not too far behind. "I will tell our father if you don't stop right now!" Thor tried. Loki didn't stop. "Come on brother, I am losing my patience here!" Thor tried again. Loki just chuckled as he shouted back "I am not stopping you from talking to father, you are very free to do so. But then that also means that you will not get back your precious present that I simply snuck out of your room while you so deliberately kept paying attention to those chamber maids of yours." That made Thor slow down a bit before he again took up speed in his seemingly futile attempt to catch up to his prankster of a brother. "Tha-that's not true Loki! I was just.. I was just talking to them! Really!" Thor tried to not seem like a child who had just been caught with his hand in a box of cookies. That made the other man chuckle as he stopped for a second and turned his head, facing his brother. "Awe is that so brother? You seem to be a bit flustered if you ask me. Well, as you have left those women of yours to pay attention to your little brother instead. I am very happy to be able to receive such love from you, dear brother." Loki smirked, throwing his brother a kiss, before laughing and started running again, picking up his pace, running even faster up the mountain. He chuckled again as he heard the hammer hit the ground just behind him with a thundering bang, before it flew back to the pissed off but now blushing thunder god that was starting to fall behind.
