You walked down the familiar corridors, taking in every sight, wonderful as they were, even though you had seen them your whole life. Your family was well known in Asgard and you had spent much of your childhood studying with the princes. Thor had always been reckless, almost never considering what he said and how it would affect those around him. But this, this was exaggerated. Loki had a very intimate secret, which he didn't share with anyone, not even you or Thor. You couldn't blame him though, Thor would shout Loki's treasured secret to all 9 realms without a second thought. Thor knew of his secret and how much he valued it, and attempted to pressure Loki into divulging it in front of everyone. As Thor forced Loki back against a wall in an attempt to hide, you watched, afraid to do anything. You feared the brothers' anger, even though they were your closest and oldest friends. Intervening would likely evoke the Thunder God's anger. You saw Loki's eyes filled with tears, carefully keeping them under control so they wouldn't spill out in front of his pompous brother. In an instant, between the blinks of an eye, Loki was gone! You laughed silently to yourself, while Thor's eyes were filled with anger and confusion, obviously not knowing where his brother had gone. You, of course, knew this, as you had always been closer to the raven-haired prince. The anger towards Thor exploded within you, threatening to hit the next person you saw. You had to remind yourself that you were going to Loki. Anger wouldn't ease the tension and would only make his problems worse. When you reach the end of a passage, you look around to make sure no one was watching. Since both of you were skilled in the art of seidr, the...... center of the card...... different g that you couldn't place." So I was right. Not even my closest "friend" can stand in front to me now. But then again, why would a monster like me need friends? There was a smirk on his face, and a somber expression behind it. The sadness that weighed heavily on your chest was as if Mjolnir himself was resting on you. But added to the pain was a newfound anger. You looked up and stared into Loki's eyes. You walked closer to him, not looking away. A look of surprise shone in his eyes and just as quickly disappeared. As you approached him again, you slowly raised your hand. Loki visibly tensed at what he thought was going to happen. Thor, as well as Frigga, had felt the same. The tender touch of their hand was supposed to calm him, and he expected the same from you. But you had something very different in mind.
