Core beliefs *Thor x Loki*

HE'S GETTING MARRIED?

-Two insults at the same time using... British... Only Loki can do that...- Thor expected to see someone else standing near him. But there was only Loki. Did he really say that now? What's with his voice?

-Thor, son, how are you? Oh and look, your brother is here?- Vígi Ingimárr joined them. Another royal blood.

He talked about the wedding. Royal wedding. And about new Asgard they plan to build. It's going to take a year. Thor is going to be somewhere in the universe. For a whole year. And then he has a wedding to plan. And kids. Every word froze Loki's blood and punched him right in plexus until something finally broke.

-Wade did say that I'm dressed for the royal wedding. Indeed, I am.- he mumbled for himself, ready to leave.

-Did you say something, son?- Vígi Ingimárr asked.

-Oh, I'm just incredibly happy. There is a possibility that my dear brother will get married.- Loki smiled like a snake. But Vígi Ingimárr couldn't see that. He was under Loki's spell. –Now tell me more. I am so excited.-

-Oh, it's not definite. You see even royal marriage has the opportunity to be formed out of love. So we're still waiting for Thor's decision.-

-It looks like he made his decision.- Loki nodded, cunningly.

-Yes, evidently he likes Gulla Dagmær. I dearly hope he does. Royal family needs descendants.- the old man said.

-I agree. I wish you luck.- Loki said and the old man left.

His green eyes were half open, calculating and coldly scanning the room.

-Loki...- Thor started.

-My dear brother, Teller of untruths, you surprised me. Though it may seem strange I did not see this coming. And I'm supposed to be a witch!- Loki laughed.

-Loki, it's not how it looks like...- Thor started but was cut off.

-Then explain it. But carefully. Because you have only one chance, brother.- Loki strained those words through clenched teeth.

-Loki, what happened to you? You sound different. You look like...-

-God of mischief.- Loki maliciously grinned. –Because I am. It looks like you forgot all about it. Otherwise, you would never be courageous enough to grasp the net of lies around me.-

Thor had nothing to say. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. He did lie. More like, hid things from Loki. He never intended to get married. But Loki didn't know it. Just like he didn't know that Asgardian royal families are expecting that wedding. He had to hear about everything someone else. No warning, no preparation. Thor tried to imagine how he would feel. Embarrassed, he looked away. Loki used that moment to disappear in the crowd.

-Is it snowing outside?- someone asked.

-Yes, yes it is! I can't believe.- other guest confirmed.

Thor looked through the window. Loki was outside, walking towards the woods. Thor started running.

Alone in the woods, Loki kept using his magic to teleport. He needed to get to the glade. Teleportation wasn't easy to spell to cast but he kept repeating it until he could see the glade. Then he started running. The moment he set out his foot of the woods and onto the glade, ground beneath him turned into ice. Loki took his coat off and sat on the ice.

-Calm down. You can do this.- he whispered to himself.

The snow was quietly falling covering him with tiny snowflakes. His shoulders shivered. Loki closed his eyes firmly trying to hold tears in. But one escaped and quickly turned into ice.

-It's okay. Everything will be okay. You'll go through this.- he mumbled and mumbled until his body turned blue and he relaxed. He laid down at cold, blue ice and started breathing slowly.

-Loki!- he heard Nat yelling.

-Mr.Loki.- Peter was there too.

-Wow, look at this. Loki what are you? Elsa? Oh, okay, blue Elsa.- Wade started rambling as usual.

-No, I'm not Elsa. She's cooler than I am.- Loki laughed with Wade.

-Is this your true form?- Peter asked.

-This form is as comfortable as the previous one. They're both normal for me.- he explained.

-Loki, what happened? Why is ice everywhere? I saw you running away earlier.- Nat asked.

-Ice helps me to calm down.- Loki said and opened his eyes, ready to get up.

–Wow, your eyes are red.- Peter said. Loki smiled.

-Helps to calm you down, what do you mean?- Nat asked.

Loki stood up and looked at Wade.

-Royal wedding...-

-Don't tell me...- Wade said.

-On Asgard.- Loki finished.

His friends opened their mouths but no one said anything.

-HE'S GETTING MARRIED?- Nat went ballistic after a few moments.

-It's not his fault, Nat. He kinda has to.- Loki explained. –My reaction was childish.-

-And he told you when? Five minutes ago? At the party?- Nat was still furious.

-In some way, yes.-

-In some way? Loki, spill it out before I squeeze it out of you. You know what happens to you if you don't talk.- Nat said.

-He didn't tell me. Two others from Asgard did.-

-Let's go home. I'll make you a cup of tea and give you something to eat. You need to rest. I'll call Bruce too if you want.-Nat took Loki's hand and they started walking.

–It's okay to be sad.- Peter said and Loki hugged him.

Wade looked at the shadow in the woods and took a deep breath in. It was Thor. He quickly started rambling and Nat started yelling at him. Wade successfully distracted everyone. They didn't notice Thor.

A couple minutes later they arrived to the backyard. Butterfly lamps were on. The snow was slowly covering them. Loki could see Steve, holding the baby and Tony who was waving. Loki and others waved back.

Then Loki snapped his fingers and it started snowing more. Little snowflakes turned into huge ones. White changed into red, blue, green, yellow, pink... Rainbow snow was falling.

-Whoa!- he could hear Peter behind him.

-This is beautiful.- Wade whispered. –I want to make a joke about this but I can't find anything good enough.-

Loki clapped and snow stopped falling. He spread his hands and fireworks illuminated a clear, starry sky. Martin was happy and amazed, as much as a 5-month-old baby could be. God of mischief took a bow after the guests started clapping.

He noticed Thor standing in the woods.
