(Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.)

loki ( mcu. )

post-ragnarok Everything Is Fine au 🙂

[vaerdig]

( for the first time in centuries, they've gone back to sharing rooms (fine, suite), which ... well. has its pros and cons. mostly pros these days, but sometimes thor comes back from some kingly duties and finds loki's redecorated. )

You can't possibly need all these books.

oh you mean my favorite au 🙂

[laufeysons]

( if you asked loki (which no one ever does), the pros and cons of sharing a room with thor are about equal. )

Define 'need'.

[vaerdig]

You know what I mean. We have a library for a reason, Loki.

( though thor rarely visits the royal library, because books are lame and boring and for nerds. obviously. except for the cases when loki is reading them out loud does thor really find any interest in them. but, you know, definitely only in those cases. )

[laufeysons]

And if they're in the library, then anyone can get their grubby paws on them. ( even if it is a royal library. for royals and related nobility only. loki trusts no one. ) You really want my tome of Arcane Eldritch Spells lying around where anyone can read it?

Or Fifty Shades of Grey, for that matter?

[vaerdig]

( ah. there it is. you see, this was all part of his plan. )

So you admit it. You have read them!
I never thought your taste would align more with mortal housewives, brother, but I have been wrong about you before.

( quite a few times, in fact. just because loki is predictable doesn't mean he can't still surprise thor when he wants to. )

[laufeysons]

I admitted nothing of the sort.

( shut up, thor. )

But even if I had read them, it would've been merely as a matter of research into the proclivities of modern Midgardians.
Tell me, brother, how have you come to be so familiar with them?

[vaerdig]

( blah blah blah big words can't help you now, loki. thor sees right through this charade. )

Stark hosted a drinking game for the Avengers. I imagine he thought the choice of films was amusing.
Needless to say, I bested them all.

( that's not really how drinking games work, thor. )

[laufeysons]

Ah, so it's not even the book you're familiar with, but the film adaptation.

( that makes more sense. )

Congratulations on being the drunkest Avenger.

[vaerdig]

Jest as you may, brother. At least I am an Avenger.

( anyway they're getting off topic here. )

And you, I suspect, aren't telling me everything.

( it almost seems like he's leaving it there until after an agonizing pause he follows up with: )

If you want me to tie you up, Loki, you needn't leave your filthy reading material around to convince me.

[laufeysons]

( ....................

....

............ )

You're drunk right now, aren't you?

[vaerdig]

I assure you I'm perfectly sober.

( well. sober from an asgardian's standpoint. )

[laufeysons]

Well, I assure you, if I wanted you to tie me up, I wouldn't be coy about it.

( and he definitely wouldn't want thor to be taking notes from fifty shades of grey, either the book or film. )

[vaerdig]

So don't be coy about it.

( loki can rest easy knowing thor would never take notes from garbage. he has standards. and, well, practical experience. )

[laufeysons]

( mhmm. )

The last time I was tied up, you threw a solid object at my head.

[vaerdig]

( technicalities. )

Yes, but I didn't tie you up and you weren't being on your best behavior. That hardly counts against me.

[laufeysons]

When am I ever on my best behavior?

[vaerdig]

Right, how could I forget. My brother, god of mischief and bad behavior.

( can you hear him rolling his eyes, loki. can you. still. not the point. )

I would bear no ill will if you want to say no.
But I'd rather not continue to make a fool of myself.

( he does enough of that without propositioning his brother. )

[laufeysons]

I'll say yes on two conditions: No more complaining about my books.
And they stay exactly where they are.

( he was never going to say no. but he can't miss an opportunity to leverage a situation in his favor. )

[vaerdig]

Oh, is that all?

( wait. )

Don't answer that.
Your books can stay, I'll keep my mouth shut about them, and you'll return promptly from wherever it is you've gone off to.
Are we in agreement?

[laufeysons]

'Wherever it is I've gone off to'. You make it sound like the brother to the king, a Prince of Asgard in his own right, doesn't have very important business to attend.

( luckily for thor, he didn't, this time. )

But very well.

[vaerdig]

( he's dubious of what business loki has that he isn't aware of, but he has to admit to the swell of satisfaction in his chest when loki refers to himself as prince of asgard, and not in a way that's derisive. thor's still settling into what it means to be king, but hearing that title come from loki's lips has, by far, been the thing he looks forward to most. )

Am I not the most important business you have to attend?

[laufeysons]

Yes, of course. You're absolutely right. How silly of me to insinuate otherwise.

( it's not completely facetious. thor is often the most important thing in his life, whether he wants to admit it or not. but in this instance it also serves to divert thor from asking about what other business, ahem, he might've been attending to. )

[vaerdig]

Your honesty, as always, is greatly appreciated, brother.

( now who's being facetious. )

How much longer are you going to keep me waiting?

[laufeysons]

( he rolls his eyes, though of course thor can't see it through text.

wherever thor is waiting, loki's mouth appears beside his ear a moment later. ) So impatient, brother. ( his hand curls over thor's shoulder. ) We really have to work on that.
