[Hammer Base] White Night

That night, Thor dreams in his bed, in which he and Loki meet for the first time.

That year, the father took the hope of all sentient beings to conquer the kingdom of Jothuheim, a family of frost giants.When he was young, he was eager to try, but was forbidden by his father.

He can only stay in Asgard.

He stood in the gateway to Asgard with eyes open and waited.He waited for his father, wearing a big golden helmet and riding Mao Bai Shengxue's eight-legged Pegasus horse, to come back with news of victory.

A long time has passed.The young prince pulled Heimdall's hem every day and asked, "How is my father?".

The solemn and watchful gatekeeper remained silent.Finally one day, Heimdall looked in the direction of Jothuheim for a long time, and said to Thor in a deep voice, "Your father is coming back soon. He has lost a lot, but he has also gained."

After hearing this, Thor's eyes lit up, and he rushed out like an arrow leaving the string.He didn't yet understand the meaning of Heimdall's words, only that his father had finally returned in triumph.

He stood before his father's army and looked up.The royal father's dark gray cloak was stained with blood, and the stars on the side of the cloak also dimmed, and only one eye was shining on the old face.

"Father...you..."

His father didn't answer him, he didn't even have time to rest, he jumped off the horse directly, holding the swaddling baby in his arms, leaning over to show Thor, with unstoppable joy on his face.

"Look, Thor, this is your brother."

Thor didn't understand why he had an extra brother, and before he had time to react, he was face to face with the baby in the swaddle - what a cute child it was!Pink skin, emerald eyes, so beautiful and agile, it seems that every part of him is calling for Thor's love.The little prince's heart softened a bit.

"What's his name?"

"Loki."

"Give me a hug." Thor reached out to the baby, his eyes so reluctant to leave him, but he even forgot to ask his father.

Thor keeps looking at the baby, he doesn't see the expression on his father's face.But he knew that the father allowed it, and he saw the father handing the baby to him.

The little baby didn't know why, but suddenly cried very hard, his face and nose were wrinkled, and the tears couldn't stop pouring out. Thor didn't expect such a small baby, who didn't even grow eyelashes, to have tears. Thor doesn't know what to do, he thinks, maybe the baby doesn't like being held by him.But Thor stubbornly hugged him, and the little man's nose was dripping with sweat due to nervousness and excitement.The little prince was so nervous that his face was flushed. He imitated the adults and gently shook the baby, his movements were clumsy and stiff.But the baby was still crying, with tears streaming down his face, holding his fists up as if to protest. Thor was at a loss, he didn't know how to comfort him, and in a panic, he spoke hard and softly in that voice that hadn't changed yet.

"Loki, don't cry, I'm your brother."

Little Loki in his arms stopped crying suddenly, and he stared at his brother with open eyes, stunned.After a pause for a few seconds, Thor suddenly said excitedly, "He's not crying! He's not crying!" Then he touched Loki's little face lightly with his hand, smiling brightly. Loki really didn't cry anymore, his little fist loosened, and in the same way, unconsciously touched Thor's finger.

That was the first time Loki touched Thor's body, and Thor still remembers that stable, gentle, gentle feeling, like the wind blowing slowly in the valley.

The war that broke out between the two countries temporarily subsided when the father took away the ancient winter coffin of the frost giant.The ancient winter coffin has been kept in the palace of Asgard, guarded by the "destroyer".

Thor wasn't interested in any of this.For him, the most valuable harvest from his father is Loki.He once asked why the mother did not go to Jothuheim and gave birth to a younger brother?The queen mother smiled. She stroked Thor's head and said, "I went, but you didn't know. There are many things you will understand when you grow up."

Thor wanted to continue asking, but the little Loki outside the door rushed in, holding a wooden sword, his youthful and invincible face was bathed in the rising sun, "Brother, we haven't decided the winner yet!"

At this time, the queen would always say with a smile, "Go! Let's have a duel between two men!" After the words fell, Thor and Loki rushed out together. He suddenly stopped as if remembering something, and stepped back to give the queen a kiss. .

"Mother, I love you! Thank you for giving me a younger brother."

He just ran out, with a little childish arrogance and arrogance, and a sense of brotherly pride.

The young Loki and the soft sunshine in front of his eyes had disappeared, and he woke up from his memories, as if in a lifetime.

The bitter wind blew against Thor's face, ripping his red cloak over and over again.Standing on the edge of the cliff in Asgard, he looked at the sea in the distance, deep blue and calm.

Loki's whereabouts are still unknown.But Thor believes he's not dead, he's coming back.What his brother had said seemed like a joke, but Thor believed he wasn't lying.Only by finding Loki in advance can he save a catastrophe.

Thor waits day after day blindly, convinced that Loki will contact him.

Finally, he came to the glacier again.There is still thick fog over the glacier, and the cold water vapor attacks the pores of every visitor.The dragon was sleeping, and the sound of breathing still resounded through the sky. Thor walked past it, but he didn't find the wound he stabbed when he was young.

Perhaps, time can really smooth everything out.

He saw that hillside.The hillside we turned over when we ran away together seemed not as high as before, maybe it was because we were smaller then and the scale was relatively different.He is no longer young.

Thor crosses the hillside and sees the big tree he found as a boy.He finally found the tree.But he was very surprised. The tree in his memory was very tall, with luxuriant branches and leaves, like a huge cosmic womb that gave birth to thousands of lives.And the tree in front of him was only two as tall as him, and he couldn't believe it was the tree called Loki, the tree that Loki was sitting on the branch shaking his legs.That day, the stars were extremely bright, and Loki's smile moved him unceasingly.

And now, he buried the dagger that Loki didn't take, next to the tree. Thor thinks that maybe in the future he will die, and so will those around him, and then he will ask Sif to bury him here too.

"After the god died, he went to another world."

"What is the other world?"

"It's memory."

What is memory, memory is something we no longer have but can only rely on to support life.

Thinking of this makes Thor feel uncomfortable.In a trance, he even had the illusion that Loki was still shaking a branch on the tree.At this time, Loki on the tree yelled at him, "Brother, I want you to give it to me."

The sound gradually fainted, and countless echoes sounded.That was the moment when Thor felt the happiest, Loki holding the dagger, with a smile in his green eyes, like that sharp dagger, suddenly pierced his heart.

Thor walked forward and sat down against the tree trunk.The wind was strong, but he felt very tired, so tired that he fell asleep like this.

"Hey, brother." Thor opened his eyes, and Loki's green eyes were staring at him.For a moment he wonders if he's still dreaming, but he wakes up quickly, sits up, and smiles at Loki.

"You fell asleep."

"Yes," he admitted.

Loki sat down next to him, lying on his back looking up at the sky, his green cloak pulled under him.He broke a straw and bit it in his mouth,

"So you like sleeping so much."

"Loki, I just had a dream."

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed that you disappeared and I grew old," Thor said, seeming to be remembering the dream.

Loki snorted softly, noncommittal.He took out the straw in his mouth, folded it into two sections with his hands, stretched his arms, and lay down to form a "big" character.

"The queen mother asked you to go."

"what's up?"

"I don't know. Tomorrow is your birthday. Maybe I can talk to you about the banquet."

"Hey, it's really troublesome." Thor also lay down on his back, crushing a large piece of grass, "There must be a lot of red tape or something, and I don't want to go to the old courtiers who brought me to see those old men who said they were protoss. ’ Thor was disheartened at the thought of such a headache.He thought, with this time, he might as well wrestle with the three warriors.

"Really?" Loki said, his voice sour.

He runs his fingers over his lips unconsciously, knowing that he's starting to envy and envy Thor again.He didn't show his face, but with a smile on his face, he raised the corner of his mouth and said to Thor, "Good chance, when you become king, they can help you govern Asgard."

"I don't need it," Thor said. "It would be great if you could go instead of me."

"I don't need it either." Loki turned his head and looked at the miscanthus that was half a man's height in the distance, talking to himself in a low voice that Thor couldn't hear clearly. "My father won't allow me to replace you."

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing."

"Hey, tell me!"

"...I said you look like the big golden bear in the snow cave in the extreme north."

"...Like it? I haven't seen it before." Thor looked at Loki suspiciously.

"Fool, of course you haven't seen it."

"why?"

"I made it up."

"..."

Loki turned away from Thor's gaze, lazily basking in the sun, and said, "Go, my queen has been waiting for you for a long time."

Thor got up and said to Loki's closed eyes, "If I'm bored, I'll come to you."

With that said, Thor left Loki's side and walked away into the sunlight.

Loki slowly opened his eyes, raising his right hand to block the sun.Under the sun, his index finger trembled unconsciously, and he fell into deep thought.

Pushing open the two heavy doors of the golden palace, Thor saw Odin and Frigga both standing in the center of the temple, waiting for his arrival.

"Let's see who's here?" Odin's voice was thick and joyful.He watched his son become stronger and mightier day by day, and he felt a heavy sense of security in his heart.

"It's your son, Thor." Frigga smiled kindly, her blond hair was coiled up noblely, and her long earrings danced in the wind.

After Thor salutes his parents, he hugs them one by one. Frigga kissed Thor's blond hair and whispered softly in his ear, "It's your birthday soon, and your father has a gift for you."

Thor followed Frigga's eyes, and found that there was a beautiful goddess standing beside Odin, calm and natural, but not delicate; her skin was fine, but not pale.

"Sif?..." Thor froze for a moment, then smiled, shining brightly like a fierce sun, "Sorry, I didn't notice you."

Sif also smiled, with a little shyness, and the smiling eyes stayed on his face for a long time as if on purpose.

"Sif is the most beautiful goddess in Asgard and a brave female warrior." Odin said to Thor, "She will also be your future wife."

After being stunned for a few seconds, Thor laughed dryly, "Father, are you kidding me?"

Watching Thor's blank expression, Frigga strokes his stiff, straight back.She knows her child, she knows that this matter will not be as simple as Odin thought, and it will not be easy for Thor to accept Sif.

"Your father is not joking, Thor, Sif is the pride of our Asgard, she plays and fights with you, can help you on the battlefield, and help you take care of housework, she is the most suitable person for you, Thor .”

The Queen Mother's gentle persuasion did not change Thor's mind.

"No, I don't need you to arrange this for me." He shook his head, trying to suppress his anger.

"You should get used to this life," Odin said to Thor. "You will marry and need a wife to help you, and Sif has turned the tide of war with you many times and won."

"I told you, no need!"

"You don't even know what you need!"

"True, but I know I don't need it!" Thor growled, leaning forward.

Odin's old face began to distort, and he screamed hoarsely, not so much as sadness, but as resentment, "You really know? Sooner or later, you will regret that you know."

"That's my business too!"

Frigga hurried forward to grab Thor, saying, "You can't talk to your father like that." Thor didn't make a sound, let alone look back at his mother, he still looked at Odin. Thor, reflected in Odin's pupils, was filled with great anger.

"I am the prince of Asgard, I don't need you to arrange everything for me!"

Thor shook off the queen's arm and left the temple, leaving Odin, Frigga and Sif standing in the center of the temple. Frigga yelled at Thor's leaving back, "Thor!" Odin, who was timid beside him, was still angry and did not dare to move.

After leaving the palace, Thor returned to the grass where he had been lying with Loki.Along the way, lush Miscanthus sprang up through layers of rocks, and those green plants grew vigorously under the hot sun.

"Loki!" Thor called his name, suddenly unable to find him.

The frozen air brushed his cheek lightly, once, again.The surrounding scenery remained unchanged, but there were sporadic auras, attacking him familiarly.

"Thor." A voice called from behind him.

Thor turns sharply, froze for a moment, and sees Sif.

Under the glare of the sun, Sif stood there, his voice unhurried, and a trace of indifference loomed in his eyes. Thor looks at her, feeling different for the first time.

With a calm expression, Sif spoke softly.

"you do not like me?"

Thor is momentarily at a loss for words.

"you do not like me?"

She asks again, and this time, instead of asking Thor, she asks him, "Why don't you like me?"

"No, it's not." Thor's voice softened, Sif was right, he knew he shouldn't take it out on her.He avoided her eyes and said, "It's not your problem...it has nothing to do with you."

"I want to know why," she said.

"……No reason."

"there must be."

"I have no idea."

After hearing this, Sif looked at Thor, but said nothing.The indifference in the eyes gradually softened a bit.

"Then can you try to fall in love with me?" Sif asked in a requesting tone, seeing Thor hesitated, she repeated it again, her expression still as calm as water.

For a long time, Thor didn't answer.

"Or, have you fallen in love with someone else?"

Thor looks at Sif, her pupils silently reflecting his own face.

"I don't know," he said, "I don't know if that's love." He finally said it, his voice so soft that the wind blows it away so quickly that Sif barely hears it.

"Sure enough." Sif said lightly, clapping his hands lightly, "I guess it is."

"Sif, actually..." Thor was about to explain clearly to her, but his whole body was already tightly hugged by Sif.He was caught off guard by her behavior. He thought she might be impulsive, and it would be fine after a while.But he was wrong, and what happened next would make him even more flustered.

She cupped his cheeks in both hands, licked his blond hair with her fingers, and kissed him quickly and accurately.

Thor's eyes widened, and after a century of blank mind, he finally came back to his senses and shoved Sif away.His strength was so great that he pushed her far away, without any concern that she was a woman.

"you……"

Sif stroked his lips with his finger, and suddenly laughed, smiling brightly.

Thor was surprised to find that Sif's color changed from light brown to emerald green, shining like a jewel.The golden hair turned black and shortened, dancing with the wind, like aquatic plants under the glimmer of light thousands of meters above the seabed.The huge surprise made him unbelievable. He was confused, surprised, distracted, nervous, but suspected that there was actually a surprise in his heart.

"You are..." His face flushed with panic, which spread to his ears, neck and whole body in an instant.Every hair, every cell was trembling in bewilderment.He tremblingly called the name of the person in front of him.

"Loki!"

"Loki! Are you crazy?" Thor yelled at Loki in a low voice, "It can't be like this!"

Loki, who had fully recovered, turned to face Thor, and said, "I'm not crazy, it was fun."

"Fun?"

"That's right, Sif likes you so much, I'm doing her a favor." Loki snapped his fingers.

"But I don't like her at all!" Thor began to look irritable again.

"I don't like her either," Loki said softly, with a hint of disgust, "but she's beautiful, isn't she?" He spoke inconsistently, like his heart, but no one cared, "She'll be yours wife."

"No, I don't love her."

"You can't go against your father's will." Loki hit the nail on the head, "You're nothing without him, right?"

"That's not it!" Thor seemed to be irritated, his face flushed, "I decide my own affairs! Without him, I can still prove myself!"

"But father will blame you."

"I'm not afraid."

"Oh, no, that wasn't my idea, brother." Loki lowered his head, resting his hand on his forehead, a smug smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

The idiot.Stupid.

"You're scared, brother." Loki looked up, took a peek at Thor's expression, and said, "Besides, you kind of like her."

Thor was still angry, he shook his head, and said, "How is it possible? Not at all." He was reckless and lacked thinking, after Loki's prank and provocation just now, Odin put a little more pressure on him.He has always been very clear about who he should like and who he should hate.

"I don't love her, I always have." He clearly knew that he didn't love Sif.

"But she kissed you just now," Loki said.

Thor froze, thinking about Loki's words.Rather, it was Loki's words that stopped him.

"That doesn't prove anything," he argued.

"What's it like?" Loki said. "I want to know, what's it like."

Thor's face exploded with blush, "I'll think about it," he clearly remembered, but he still thought, "Maybe... a little soft..." His heart skipped a beat.

God what is he doing.

He was still saying that he hated her just now, but now he was seriously recalling the kiss between them, and racking his brains to describe the words that touched his lips.

"It's just soft? No other feeling?" Loki's expression was calm and calm, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth revealed his ulterior motives.

"Other feelings?"

"Your body's reaction," Loki added.

"...body?..." Thor gaped.

Loki looked straight at his embarrassment, as if determined to see his brother's jokes, "Yes, body."

Thor's face is hot enough to cook an egg.

"No, no." Although the words were stammered, they were true, and in Thor's heart, this feeling could only be felt when looking at Loki by the glacier.He felt hot then, as if on fire, but he didn't understand what it meant.

"No? I don't believe it." Loki snorted. "Haven't you thought about women when you grow up? Their bodies exude fragrance, and their skin is as white as milk."

Thor shakes his head, unmoved by any of this.

"You have failed too much, brother." He looked at his brother, but there was surprise in his tone.

Thor sighed, "Even the kiss just now was the first time."

There was a complicated silence in the air.

A burst of laughter broke the silence, and Loki said, "You've learned to lie, too."

"No, that's the truth."

"However, the fire is not yet ready. If the three warriors hear it, they will definitely say that 'the lying skills are inferior to Loki'." Loki did not listen to his explanation, he stood against the light on the grass, his cloak was blown like The green wings behind him said, "However, this trick is pretty good at tricking girls."

"Hey, I'm not lying. I don't want to just give Sif my first kiss."

Loki stops laughing and gives Thor a meaningful look, the water in his eyes rippling subtly.

Loki is not the same type as Sif at all, Thor looks at him and thinks, Loki is thinner than Sif, like an ice pick made of a block of ice.

In an instant, Thor realizes with horror that it's not Sif he's kissing, it's Loki!No matter how much he looks like Sif, he's still Loki!The touch of lips, the taste of skin, and the touch of fingers are all Loki, all originating from Loki's body!

Thor's brain is buzzing, and his thoughts are beginning to become unclear.

He kisses Loki.

"Oh, no…" Thor covers his eyes.

Loki remained silent.

There are some things in the world that are okay when they are ignorant, but once they are revealed, they don't know how to end up.

No one is talking now.

For a long time, Loki turned his back to Thor, not looking at him, but continued to tell him, "I know you have someone you like."

Thor's breath started to become confused again, his heart was beating violently, he couldn't see Loki's face behind Loki, he wanted to walk up to him, but he couldn't move.

"Yes." He admitted, just now to "Sif".

Loki waits for the next words, and Thor doesn't continue.He didn't dare to say more, he couldn't guess Loki's expression, let alone whether his true thoughts were right or wrong.

The air is disturbingly quiet.

Finally, Loki turned to look at Thor, his face chilled, his eyes focused on Thor only with passion and focus, and he just looked at his brother like that, and said, "Did I know you?"

Thor suddenly felt as if he had fallen into ice.

"I really want to know who she is, but I don't want to know," Loki said. "If I have the chance and you're willing to tell me, I think I'll go and meet her."

Before Thor could react, Loki was gone, his figure melting into the sky of the wilderness.
