WHO: Loki and Thor
WHAT: The Tethering is over.
WHERE: Fjord.
WHEN: This second, right now. Whoaa

The last week had been — well. Bad, obviously. Loki didn’t like to be stuck in one place for any reason and very much valued her freedoms. She had always been like that, the sort to slip away without a word and stay gone for just as long as she pleased before showing up again (sometimes without a word, and other times with dramatic flair).

But, she supposed, as far as annoying partners went, Pyro hadn’t been the absolute worst. He cleaned after he cooked, took the threats of stabbing seriously (as he should have) and Loki had gotten to exact a good deal of revenge on Thor for having pissed her off prior by hanging around on St. John whilst wearing as little as possible whenever Thor showed up (the idiot Quill in tow).

It was over now though, and she supposed at some point she’d have to deal with Thor in the same room, alone this time.

Still, for now, the roof was a better option, and so there she sat, hugging her knees and gazing out at the new view their home offered, water crashing against craggy rocks. It even smelled nicer here than it did in town, she supposed. Salty, like the ocean, and the breeze carried it well.

The two of them were bonded, in a way that really only they could understand. Thor would never try to explain it to anyone else, for one because it'd be far too complicated. For another, it was just for him and Loki. It was their bond, and no one else should have any part of it. No matter how angry, hurt, betrayed or whatever it was that Loki was causing him to feel, it wouldn't break the bond. Likewise, no matter how much Thor frustrated or irritated or infuriated Loki, they were unbroken together.

The way she received his touch brought a smile to his face. Thor kept his hand there, because he liked how it felt when she rubbed her cheek against his palm. He shifted too, to be sitting rather than kneeling, and with his other strong arm helped her even closer, into his lap. He leaned in, then, and brushed his lips where her neck and jaw met. "There you are."

Oh, yes. This was much better, Loki decided. Enough of the nonsense, the fighting for no reason. The fjord was a fine enough place to settle a home, and even though Loki would have liked a conversation about it first -- well. The view was still fine enough, she decided as she pulled back just enough to look Thor in the face.

"Here I am," she agreed, settling in that way she only ever did when it was with Thor. The urge to be soft never came up otherwise, not with anyone no matter how well Loki liked them. Just Thor.

So she hugged him then, because he probably deserved it and they both needed it. "Shall we go inside?"

It was infinitely better. Fun as it was to poke at each other and the attention he got from making Loki angry, Thor preferred what was happening now. Like Loki, Thor didn't go soft often. He could be silly, ridiculous even, but to truly soften the way he did for her was not something he really allowed for anyone else to see.

There was something to be said about willingly allowing himself to be as vulnerable as possible to the one person who could truly rip his heart out and smash it to pieces. Trust, yes. Love, certainly.

"Mmhmm," he murmured, but was loathe to move now that he was holding her again. It took him a little bit, but slowly he uncurled his arms from around her so they could go inside. Loki could thank him tomorrow for his excellent idea of moving the house.
