THOR ODINSDOTTIR | SISTER:
Mind, however, is momentarily transfixedby the sight of Lokiâs drawn blood. She heard his hiss, and his hum.. whichdidnât seem entirely painful. She grips the goblet tighter.
Her mind does like seeingthings which arenât there.
Thor holds Loki gaze, blueeyes steady as steel.
âOg svona Ă gegnum blóðiðokkar,â
âHugur og sĂĄl, við erumbundin að eilĂfu.â
And she drinks. She stills.
The goblet falls to thefloor.
Her soul feels like it hasgrown too wide. She.. She can see him. Her brother. Truly see him.
There are new lights to his appearance.And shadows. Oh, so many shadows. His eyes look.. different. More sharp. Yetdelicate. As if a mere touch of her hand would shatter him whole, and leave herwith a deep cut which would never heal.
âOh, Loki..,â she whispers,voice shaking.
Her walls are no longer, sherealizes. They have been turned to dust and her emotions flood out of her likea storm at sea. Thor lets them. She could not hold them back even if she wishedto.
She steps away from him.Resolving to sit at the end of her brotherâs bed. Slowly, as if she might fallif sheâs not careful. But Thorâs eyes do not leave his. And she watches, asrealization hits them both with a thunderous smack.
Her darkness. The things shekept under lock and key.
How alike the siblings trulyare.
âLoki,â she whispers again.Eyes watering, and a wide smile appearing without her permission. âYou see me.â
Had he not seen, not FELT the overflow of Thorâs mind, her thoughts, her EMOTIONS ... Loki likely couldâve kept control of his own. A hand extends aimlessly, falling to rest atop the desk lest he TOO lose his balance as he stumblesââit feels as though heâs been STRUCK, that the wind has been knocked out of him & suddenly Loki is shaking with the OVERWHELMING emotions that are his own, along with Thorâs, which crash into him like ruthless waves.The clank of the goblet falling to the floor sounds DISTANT, far away & he barely registers it.
Loki LOOKS at her & suddenly, many things he thought heâd known about his sister appears to have been wrong. Outwardly, she shone like a BRIGHT LIGHT, a star, golden & powerfulââshe, however, held her own insecurities, her own ANGER ... but what strikes him so harshly, what makes stormy eyes glisten with emotion that he normally could have held BACK, was that her own desires mirrored his own. A piece of him attempts to SWIPE this realization ( which shakes him to his very CORE ) out from under him, suggesting that he must be hallucinating, but. It was as if Thor was insisting he was not, even though she spoke not a word of it.
Hearing her say his name like that, her voice trembling, Loki was almost DIZZY with itââit was as if sheâd called to him & he slowly shifted to standing upright again, retrieving his hand from itâs place upon the desk meant to STEADY him. Again, Loki notices that his hands are shaking, that his breath similarly TREMBLES ... but he follows after her, as sheâd sunk unto the edge of his bed. Dark brows are TENSE beneath his shock, his desire ( which now, had barely a string of a tether left ), & the ground-crumbling realization that she wanted himââjust as he wanted HER. Loki had thought it impossible & he can barely believe it.
( he feels EXPOSED, vulnerable, which is largely what leaves a small part of him terrified )
She says his name again & it keeps him steady, it helps him FIND her, as if heâs searching for her in the dark. The smile she gives him, once he truly FOCUSES on her again, elicits an exhale that almost sounds like a laugh & left brow shifts, his almost manic disbelief etched into the shape of it.
His voice TREMBLES, barely above a murmur ; for, if Loki speaks any louder, heâs certain that his voice will break beneath the pressure. It takes an IMMENSE amount of effort to still the shaking of his hands as he lifts them, reaching for her & at first, lithe fingers brush along her cheeks, her jaw, before the fingers of his right hand tangle within blonde tresses at the back of her neck. ANY impulse control has long been thrown out the window, now that he knows.Â
 â How can you SEE ME & bare it, â
The words tumble out, as a large portion of his control is LOST, but Loki is leaning into her, their noses brushingââPlease, is the word that trails across his mind ( now, it felt like heâd actually said it ), but he does not await her reply. Instead, Loki captures her mouth with his own & he does not attempt to hide his HUNGER.
