okay yeah I’m looking closer at these gifs and there’s no way that isn’t loki’s greasy ass black hair it’s too dark to be jane’s…. hey marvel? hey marvel? i just wanna talk about thor having his dead brother’s hair braided into a little plait behind his ear that’s like so much
Thor cracked his eye open. His brother stood at the bedside with his hands on his hips and his mouth drawn into an exasperated moue.
“I was tired.” Thor closed his eye again.
“You have your own bed.”
“It was too far away.”
“And your clothes?”
Thor yawned. “Dirty from riding. Didn’t want to muss your bedding.”
He heard Loki huff.
“Did you leave your muddy boots on my rug again?”
“…maybe?” He yelped when Loki pinched his bare bottom, hard, then rolled onto his back and pillowed his head on his arms and gave an exaggerated glance down at the hard length jutting against his belly. “If you prefer, I can go warm Sif’s bed,” he drawled, “although you might miss my c–”
“Enough, you rotten thing,” Loki said, cutting him off, but Thor was already reaching for his hand and Loki let himself be drawn down to the bed willingly enough. “You think you can just pop in for a tumble whenever you like,” he grumbled, tilting his head away so Thor could mouth at his neck.
“Mmm,” Thor agreed, parting the neck of Loki’s tunic to lick at the dip between his collarbones.
“But you can’t.”
“Uh-huh.” Thor silenced him with a kiss. Loki sighed into his mouth as Thor palmed him through his leggings.
“It’s…not…ahhh.”
After that there were no more words for a long while, and Loki put his tongue to better uses than lying.
It was, without a doubt, the sweetest, sexiest kiss he had ever experienced. So very different than … well, everything—an advance and quick withdrawal then another slow approach as their noses brushed and they breathed each other in and their lips skated together, parted, met—each move a silent question and response, May I? Yes. Are you sure? Yes. I love you. I know. I’ve needed this so long. Dear lord, me too.
Ah, they payoff finally arrives–here is the fluffy smut (the flut? the smuff? what exactly should we call it? whatever–enjoy!)
Thank you again (and again) to @incredifishface for her always-spot-on revision suggestions. Thanks also to @icybluepenguin for some perfect character analysis and advice on this last chapter, especially. This was my very first *serious* Loki/Thor piece–I was very nervous about posting sommething in a fandom so filled with truly amazing writers, so I am grateful for their help and support.
