WHAT in person
WHERE Heavenly Grounds
WHEN 75!!

[So how do you feel about getting into the holiday spirit? Because with all that wine around from the Bingo victories someone's put a sign up outside Heavenly Grounds today advertising a ~holiday party~ There's festive decorations with mulled wine, hot toddies, spiked egg nog. You name it, it's there to get you plastered.

And I guess there's cookies and fruit cake and stuff too, but who needs food when there's drinking?]

[laughs.]

Dick.

[petting his hair...]

Sure, I had to live on, figure myself out but... that doesn't mean I liked it. We're... meant to be a team.

[ dry ]

The brains and the brawn, hm?

Mmm, if it were that simple you would have left my coronation alone.

You were always meant to be king. You just don’t—didn’t understand what that meant. [ quiet sigh, turning his head so he can just lean it on thor, breath fanning out over thor’s chest ] Neither did I, really. I didn’t know what was right; I only knew what would have been wrong.

...

[soft]

I still don't know. I just... I don't know, Loki. I'm completely... lost.

I can only act on my heart now.

And that is what Odin, what Father had lost. His heart. I’m sure he had one, once, for Mother to have loved him as she did... And perhaps he tried, but...

[ sighs ]

You’ll be a good king, Thor, with or without me. If I don’t doubt it, you shouldn’t.

I don't want to think about it without you. I don't. That's it, it's simple. How can I. It's massive enough thinking about it with you, I can't think of both. There's no room.

[ reaches up without looking to stroke thor’s jaw, fingers catching on his thick beard ]

You’ll have Heimdall to help you, and Sif once we find a way to retrieve her. The Valkyrie. Your friends. Thor, you have no end of support.

[more alarmed, his arm tightening around Loki's waist]

And I'll have you.

[ long pause, before he sighs, soft and almost resigned, but tilting his head up to kiss the underside of thor’s jaw ]

And me.

[drunken whine]

Why do you do that... you scold me for worrying one minute, then you make me worry!...

I don’t mean to.

Then let me trust you. Don't be afraid of it being the truth.

The truth... The truth has so rarely done me any good.

The truth is you love Asgard. And you belong with us.

I don’t think anyone else of Asgard thinks so.

Loki, they love you. Father never made your trial public. You worked on them for two years and they barely flinched when I revealed you. And then you, you know, saved them all.

I know it's been a long time for you but, they looked to you on that ship. You are their prince.

Who needs a prince when they have a king? [ snorts, absently clawing lightly at thor’s chest ] I already said I’d stay for you.

[groans] A king who has no idea what he's doing... Yes but you're doubting yourself. Of course I'm going to reassure you when you're talking nonsense. Do we both not want the throne now?

[ grumbles, biting Thor petulantly ]

Ow!

[ROLLS THEM, and flops his whole weight on top of him.]

Trapped.

Thor.

Got you.

And now?

Now I lie here forever.
