#younger!thor

  I just want to write all the stories were Loki is...

yeeeesss YEEESSS i love this? and it’s so rare in the fandom? like this is so lovely also younger thor? who’s still growing into those enormous shoulders of his? and has long soft hair and an even softer face? YESSS

It is so rare and I love it so much. Just give me Loki who’s had experiences and is damaged and this ball of sunshine he falls in love with called Thor who just is so fucking adorable and eager and breaks down all of Loki’s walls and ugh, need it. 

1. It’s not that Loki is oblivious. He finds it very amusing. He just doesn’t believe this is anything more than a passing infatuation on Thor’s part. It’s not worth the pain and strife he’d no doubt cause himself if he encouraged Thor and Loki already knows what Odin would do and say. For the moment, he doesn’t believe the rewards out way the risk, not when Thor will be mooning over someone else in two weeks. 

2.. It soon becomes common knowledge that Thor will attend any event, however dull, if there is the slightest suggestion Loki will be there. Thor attends a number of boring but important council meetings on grain yield because someone (it was Heimdall) implied Loki might be there. Loki was not there. 

3.. Heimdall did this because Thor spends hours with him, asking him vague and infuriating questions about what he can see - the past, the future and currently - regarding Loki. The answer is not much because Loki hides himself from Heimdall’s sight and is a secretive creature, but Thor still asks. 

4. Thor brings Loki gifts. It starts small - odd stones he thought Loki might like, weeds that look as if they could be poisonous flowers for Loki’s potions and then Thor’s gifts start getting bigger and more extravagant. He returns from battle with three scrolls of ancient magic he killed a sorcerer to obtain for Loki and a beautiful silver torc.

He would!

1. Loki appears in Thor’s room one night. He searches through wardrobes and dressers, throwing things on the floor, muttering to himself and waking Thor up. Thor is maybe seventeen or so, and confused as to this stranger who seems to be robbing him, but without any success. Loki wrenches up the floorboards before Thor finally interrupts him. 

“What are you doing here?” Loki demands. “This is my room.”

“I am Prince Thor of Asgard, this is my bedroom and has been all my life. Who are you?”

Loki laughs in disbelief, shaking his head. 

“They gave my room away,” he says to no-one in particular and disappears. 

2. Thor learns from his mother who his stranger visitor is. Loki has been away from Asgard for years - traveling, adventuring or simply seeking trouble somewhere, Thor hears many different stories over time. He seeks out everyone’s stories of Loki. He learns that Loki is a frost giant but unlike any other giant there has ever been, for he is small and wiry and fought at Odin’s side. Thor exhausts everyone with his questions, but their answers are never enough. 

3. The next time he sees Loki, Loki is arguing with Odin. Loki appears suddenly in the throne room and starts into a tirade about something or other that has been moved from his rooms. He does not wait his turn, does not care about who or what he interrupted. It gets him thrown out, but Thor follows him. He is fascinated by Loki. 

4. “I want to help you,” he offers. 

Loki looks him up and down, the shrugs his shoulder. “Well, I suppose you’ll have to do.”

Thor rips his room apart, letting Loki hunt and search through the destruction. When he finds what he was looking for, Loki crows in triumph and vanishes, leaving Thor behind in the chaos of his destroyed room with a strange ache in his chest. 

5. Thor awakens on another night, a few weeks later, to a pressure on his chest. He opens his eyes to find Loki straddling him, his face very close.

“I got you a present,” Loki purrs and Thor’s heart shudders.

He wraps his arms around Loki and Loki laughs - a sound Thor is growing to know very well. 

"Arranged marriage AU in which Loki is Jotunheim's heir, and Thor has been promised to him since birth.

Thor is 18. Loki is 27.

Super-quick fic.
