Thor is some big, important person at some big, important company. He’s kind, cordial, compassionate, and hard-working: the type of boss who comes in early and leaves late but has the time to remember to send out customized birthday emails. He TECHNICALLY inherited the company from his father but as a result, generally keeps his personal life to himself. All that anyone knows is that he’s married to some distant figure and that he adores his younger brother. The feelings seem to be reciprocated.

Cue in Loki, a doctorate student, part time professor and full time academic nut who specializes in Nordic mythology. He shows up at the office almost arbitrarily, flouncing his way into Thor’s office, smelling distinctly of chai and cinnamon, in his heeled Chelsea boots (that still don’t make him taller than Thor).

They’re so different that it’s a wonder that they’re even related; where Thor is broad, Loki is lithe and streamlined, where Thor is straight and golden, Loki is curly and dark. They’re the oddest pair of brothers the staff has ever seen. But that’s the thing… they’re not brothers. Loki is Thor’s husband.

Thor has never been one to pay mind to gossip but Loki just loves how perverse the idea of it all is and makes Thor play out these scenes with him both when they’re the only two left in the office and in the confines of their home.

Bonus points (i.e. things to keep in mind but aren’t ENTIRELY necessary): They’re actually Norwegian and Thor was sent to man the American branch of the company (which would explain why nobody knows that Loki isn’t a “true” son of Odin because nobody has met old man Odin himself). They usually speak to each other in Norwegian or at least use Norwegian pet names that everyone just assumes translates into some variant of “brother” and not “my love”/“my darling”/“my heart”

Bonus points cont: Thor is at the most 4-6 years older than Loki and this plays a HUGE part in Loki’s fantasies and everyone else’s delusions because Thor is naturally super protective and nurturing which makes Loki come across as a shade younger than he actually is
