Remember in Double Trouble, there was a scene showing Loki couldn’t handle the cold nearly as much as Thor? This is basically a short based off that, taking place in another adventure they ended up in.

High in the edge of a cliff, Thor sat at the edge of the cave entrance and stared out into the blizzard. He wanted to keep watch since during the adventure, which had lasted two days, making this night three, his brother had stayed awake. He claimed it was because he wanted to watch the stars and smiled a bit, but Thor started to see through that lie. You would too if you noticed he was looking around for any signs of danger and reacting quickly to any sound as if it was a threat every time you woke up to grab a snack or go until he noticed you and was suddenly okay. Speaking of Loki, he was inside the cave next to a fire that were fueled by a few logs Thor found.

He was sitting in a fetal-like position and shivering a lot under his jacket and his teeth audibly chattered. His arms were crossed over his chest and pressed between his chest and legs. Between them, Thor was much more tolerant to low temperatures. He hardly ever shivered. Loki on the other hand, always wears his jacket and never goes anywhere without long sleeves or long pants, and doesn’t seem to mind the heat. He seems much more willing to die of heatstroke than freezing to death, but Thor suspects he went outside in the cold as a kid anyways just so he could get extra hugs from their mother. Thor looked back at Loki and got an idea. He stood up from the rock he was sitting on and walked to Loki, who had already noticed him coming. It was clear with how he practically snapped his neck to face him after hearing the icy stone crack under Thor’s boots. He didn’t say anything when Thor sat with him, only stared back at the fire.”Is there any other way to make this warmer?” Thor asked, trying to start some kind of conversation. Loki didn’t look at him or say anything like he had hoped. Rather, he shakingly put his hand out into the flames to touch it, the flames somehow dancing away from his hand to make a sort of tunnel around it as he touched the wood pile. Thor grabbed Loki’s arm to try and pull it out, but he didn’t move.”Take your hand out of the fire!” He said. Loki ignored him and blue flames began to replace the red and orange ones. Surprise replaced some of Thor’s worry and Loki finally pulled his hand out of the fire.

The cave slowly became much warmer, but Loki nearly toppled over and looked a bit dizzy. Thor put a hand behind his back and helped him sit back up.”You okay?” Thor asked. Loki nodded and Thor pulled him closer into a side hug, which probably caught Loki off guard based on how he tensed up for a moment. His shivering slowed down some, but he was still cold. The side of Loki’s head was touching the part of his arm above his elbow, and he felt ice cold.”How did you do that?” Thor asked. Loki yawned and leaned on Thor a bit.”Just a little trick I picked up on, nothing special. Blue fire is hotter than red fire, so I figured I’d use that trick to heat it up. It won’t last long, though.” He said, leaning onto Thor more and more as he spoke. He probably didn’t realize it, either, and Thor didn’t say a word about it.”Wow. Is there green fire then?” Thor asked. Loki shook his head and his eyelids drooped as the cave became warmer as he spoke, his tone much more sleepy than he meant it to be as he spoke.”Not naturally, I think…” He murmured.

Loki started to regain feeling in his toes and hands, but he was still freezing cold and almost wished he hadn’t regained feeling in them.”Why not?” He heard Thor asked. Loki stretched his arms and legs out, kind of like a cat, and sighed a bit when he relaxed again, pulling his legs and arms back to keep warm.”It has something to do with the light spectrum and the wavelengths of light, I think? I can’t remember right now. I think I have notes in here somewhere.” Loki answered as he nestled the back of his head into the fur of his jacket.

Thor waited for Loki to continue, but only heard barley noticeable snoring. Thor soon smiled and wrapped his red cape around Loki like a blanket so he’d stay warm.

With only the sound of crackling fire, howling winds from outside, and hard-to-hear snoring, Thor was left with his thoughts. Recently, he’d started thinking that maybe Loki’s magic drains his physical energy the same way as exercise or some other intense movement. If that was true, then perhaps it’s possible Loki isn’t as weak as he thought with all the shapeshifting and teleporting he does on a daily basis, along with the occasional conjuration of objects. Like when he made some roses to try to flirt with Mildred to get her to stop causing trouble. He’d ask about it tomorrow, after he finds out how blue fire is hotter than red fire.

Bonus that I don’t know when would happen but I had to write:

“How did I not know how ticklish you are?” Thor asked. The only answer he got was more laughter and thrashing from his little brother, who was stuck in Thor’s hold and turning red from laughter and embarrassment.

Earlier, Thor poked Loki’s ribs to get his attention from the book he was reading and Loki slammed his arms down to protect himself with a surprised squeak, which Loki tried to play off by ignoring it, but Thor pressed questions at his reaction and grabbed his arm so he couldn’t just teleport away and escape the interrogation. It started with more pokes to the ribs and Loki trying to stab him with every dagger he had, but Thor stopped every one and even tossed it away so Loki couldn’t try again while he was trying to hide any sign of hiding any giggles or laughter. Then the assault of tickles to Loki’s sides and belly came when he ran out of daggers. It was an unexpected change, so he couldn’t hold back the laughter anymore. Thor seemed to really like the reaction and kept going while Loki tried his best to escape, but he couldn’t with how much stronger Thor physically is compared to him. And Loki was indeed very ticklish.”Stohohohohohop ihihihit!!” Loki demanded. But he had no success. If anything, it only fueled something in Thor to keep going, which he did. Thor smiled and began poking at Loki’s ribs, which started the whole thing and drove Loki’s laughter an octave higher.”Not a chance! I’ve been waiting for so long to get revenge on you, and now--“

“AAAAAAIIEEE!!!”

Thor paused the assault, giving Loki a chance to breathe, and looked at Loki with a surprised expression. Loki glared back at him with a look as sharp as his daggers.”Don’t. You. Dare.” He threatened through his gasps for breath. A devious grin creeped upon Thor face and Loki began squirming around again, or tried shielding himself. Thor grabbed both arms with one hand and held them above his head, even lifting him a foot off the ground.”No!! No, I’m warning you!! I’ll turn you into a pin cushion!!” Loki threatened. Thor ignored him and started tickling his ribs again, throwing him back into laughter. Loki began kicking around and tried pulling his knees up to cover his upper body, but Thor simply pushed them away and continued.”I know I heard that! Where did that reaction come from?” Thor wondered out loud as he prodded and poked around his little brother’s ribs, soon coming to the spot that got the reaction from a few seconds ago. When his fingers poked the eighth rib on the right side, Loki squealed and broke out in uncontrollable laughter unlike anything Thor had seen, not just in Loki, but in anyone he’s heard laugh.”HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! NOHOHOHOHO!!! NOHOHOHO!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” Loki yelled. Thor was a bit shocked and confused about the fact that he got such a reaction from a single rib, but he was more delighted to learn it.”Oh, wow! That sounds like this is unbearable!” Thor said. Loki turned a bit redder, either from embarrassment or laughter, and shook his head while laughing.”What? Does talking about it make it worse?” Thor asked. Loki didn’t answer. He couldn’t. He was too busy laughing as Thor curiously and carefully tickled the newfound sweet spot.

About three minutes later, Loki was too tired to keep trashing around and his laughs he was falling more and more into silent laughter. Thor had started tickling him all over his upper body with both hands since Loki was too tired to fight back; belly, armpits, sides, ribs, and especially his eighth rib on the right side. When Loki began showing signs of fatigue, Thor set him on the floor and continued the assault. Thor definitely had the upper hand, Loki’s mind was going mad with the tickles, and it certainly didn’t help that he decided not to wear his jacket and that flexible piece of green chest plate today. By now, streams of tears from laughter were flowing down Loki’s face and he looked like he might pass out soon. Thor decided maybe it was time to stop or at least give him a break and pick it up later, so he stopped. Loki began gasping for air and managed to curl up into a ball on his right side so it’d be a bit harder to get to his weak spot.”Are you okay?” Thor asked. Loki nodded and Thor moved to sit next to him. He didn’t know what it was, but something other than the victorious feeling of having a way to get back at Loki was making Thor feel pretty happy.

Thor knew it was that part of him that really wished he got along with his brother, and now he had a way to do that. And it’s not like Loki would fight back, Thor’s much more physically fit, so he could turn the tables on him easily. Loki panted and gasped for air on the floor.”Did you have fun?” Tasking asked sarcastically. Loki shot him a glare and shook his head, making Thor laugh a bit. It took a long while for Loki to recover from the assault and Thor popped his knuckles when Loki sat up.”Ready for Round 2?” Thor asked. Loki’s eyes widened and he teleported away, making Thor stand up and rush to his room in chase.

In Loki’s room, Loki stumbled to his door and locked it, then he dived under his bed to hide. He curled up in a ball again, exhausted and embarrassed, and planned on staying there for a long time. It wasn’t the fact that one of his weaknesses was discovered that embarrassed him more, it was the fact that Thor could’ve found out he enjoyed the activity.

“CHEERS!!!”

Once again, another random group of people clung their mugs together and drank to some sort of accomplishment or promise, wether it was big or small. This seemed to happen every few minutes, and under other circumstances, Thor might’ve been enjoying himself undisturbed by his brother’s antics.

But this time, that was exactly what was bothering him. Since Odin had gotten the full story of what happened that led to the marketplace being in such destruction, he had decided to only ground Loki from the upcoming feast. Loki being grounded from feasts and parties wasn’t uncommon, but it didn’t happen every time either. He was somewhat well-behaved during these feasts, but he was much quieter than his usual self during them unless their mother tried talking to him. Other than that, Loki was avoided by everyone and often vanished from them hours before they ended, only to be found in the much quieter and less crowded public library or in his chambers asleep depending on the time.

Thor and Loki had fallen asleep during the break they took when their quest to clean up started to stretch into the night. When they woke up, everything was cleaned up and even put together, good as new! The two of them had no idea how it happened, but what bothered Thor was his little brother’s behavior afterwards.

He had noticed his little brother swaying and stumbling, and he swore he could see a bruise on Loki’s neck like something had strangled him flickering in and out of existence when he nearly fell over. Thor caught him and asked if he was alright, but Loki just brushed it off as an “overuse of magic” and said he just needed a few minutes to rest. Those few minutes turned into a few hours, and even during lunch, he was missing. Freya, their mother, had checked on him and said the same thing as Loki -- an overuse of magic. It had apparently resulted in Loki passing out right in front of the entrance to his chambers, but she carried him to his bed to rest properly.

Still, Thor couldn’t help but feel worried. It wasn’t bad earlier, but now it was. He felt out of place, he felt that he had to go check on Loki as soon as he could. But he couldn’t just leave.

The blond prince glanced up from his empty plate to Freya, who was sitting next to him.”Mother, may I be excused? I want to check on Loki.” He asked. Freya paused her conversation with Odin, which he hadn’t realized she was having in his zoning out, and looked at him with a warm smile.”Of course, son.” She granted. Thor smiled and stood up from his seat, catching the attention of many, but most of those who turned quickly went back to their meals and chatting.”Thank you, mother.” Thor said.

“Your welcome. Oh, and try not to zone out at feasts.” Freya advised. Her son gave her an affirmative nod and playfully saluted her as he left, earning a light laugh.

Loki held the blue cube up to Doctor Strange with a proud smile on his face. Strange looked at him with an “Are you insane?” expression, to which Loki ignored. After a few more seconds of slightly tense silence, the sorcerer supreme spoke.”You seriously did all of that just so you can have Peter over?” He asked. The young, black haired prince nodded with a sense of accomplishment.

Loki had just explained to him how he overheard Tony jokingly tell Peter that he’s grounded until the tesseract is found after Loki had chose to save him instead of the tesseract, but he misunderstood the tone and despite his... medical situation, he created a plan to search the multiverse until he found it.

He would steal two artifacts from Odin’s vault; one used for transportation and another for a form of distraction to cover of the use of the first one. Step two was to use these artifacts, using the little magic that he built up during the time he was resting to boost its power to send him across the multiverse, but he didn’t have enough power to narrow down where exactly he would be sent. Step three was to find and return it. Luckily, he came across it while searching for the orb in the snow with his brother and the other Thor.

“And now that you have it, Peter can come over, right?” Loki asked. Strange stared at him for a few more seconds, then sighed and lightly shook his head.”I don’t know why you’re asking me, but if he doesn’t have any plans, I don’t see the issue.” He answered as he took the cube from Loki’s hand. Loki smiled and for a second, looked almost like a kid proud of himself for impressing his parent. Strange hadn’t exactly met Freya and Odin before, and Loki was often irresponsible, but there seemed to be silent rules in his head that led him to have limits for certain things, even something as small as how much sugar he puts in his tea. One of them included inviting people to the massive castle, which he had almost never done.

So if he was okay with Peter being there at the moment, it’s likely that it’s alright. Strange held up his arms and began to create a portal to one of the sanctums.”I’ll check with him tomorrow and get this into someplace safe.” The sorcerer supreme explained as the portal was completed. He put his hand into his pocket and fished out his phone to dial the spider-child’s number. He tilted it to sort of point it at his friend and looked him in the eye.”And you, my mischievous friend, are going to get some rest.” He ordered. He turned around and hopped through the portal, which closed behind him, leaving Loki by himself in the small library of his chambers.

Loki silently cheered to himself as he nearly elbowed the nearby bookshelves in a swift and excited self-gesture of accomplishment.”Yes!” He murmured to himself. He grabbed a nearby book, From Down Below, and walked over to his bed to lay down and read, starting from where he last left off.

Twenty pages and a change into pajamas later, Loki’s reading was interrupted by the sound of familiar footsteps. Loki readied his bookmark when he recognized them as Thor’s footsteps and sat up, which caused him the feel dizzy and nauseous. Black spots covered his vision and he nearly fell back down, but he managed to regain himself. He was soon alert and ready to argue about any accusations. While he hoped they’d pass by, they stopped right in front of his door.

Knock, knock, knock

Loki sighed mentally and cleared his throat.”Come in!” He called out. The door opened and Thor walked in. The room was pretty dim, only a few torches were lit and it was around an hour past sundown, but it was easy to find Loki since his bed was by a large window and his silhouette gave away his position and posture.”Is the feast over already?” Loki asked in slight surprise.

“No, I just wanted to check up on you and see how you’re doing with that “magic overuse” thing. You slept through lunch, you know. Besides, it was getting boring.” Thor replied as he closed the door behind him and walked over to Loki. Loki was pretty taken aback by this answer and raised an eyebrow.”Oh. I’m... fine?” He said. He sounded as if concern from his brother was the strangest social thing of all. Thor stopped by his bed.”You sure? You said that earlier and that it’d wear off in only a few minutes, but then mother found you passed out at the door of your chambers.” He pressed on.

Loki shrugged.”Eh, it could be worse. At least I can focus enough now to read so I can pass the time.” He replied as he reopened his book. Thor caught a glance at the tilts on the cover and became intrigued.”What’s it about?” He asked. Loki leaned back a bit against the wall of his bed frame.”It’s about an underwater investigation turned into an escape from some unknown source with limited time.” Loki said.

“I also wanted to ask about that bruise I saw earlier. It looked as if someone or something had choked you.” Thor added. Loki instantly slammed his book shut loud enough to echo through his chambers and made Thor jump a bit. Loki was quiet for a moment, then cleared his throat.”Um... You mean this?” The bruise appeared around his neck again and Thor once again felt concern for his little brother.”Yes, that! What happened?” He was a bit louder than he meant to be, but that didn’t seem important right now.”It’s a long story, but it’s permanent, so I just cover it up with my magic on the daily. I think it’s been...” Loki looked up at nothing in particular in thought,”three months?” He guessed.

“What. Happened?” Thor kept trying to press on and reached out to touch it, but Loki leaned away and grabbed the dagger he always kept under his pillow. He didn’t pull it out from under it, though.“Why are you suddenly concerned?! I can handle myself!” He argued. He tried to stand up to make a point, but fell over and Thor had to catch him.

Loki took a few seconds to regain himself and looked dizzy.”Okay, maybe not now. Just let me rest.” He said with a yawn. Thor helped him back onto his bed and Loki didn’t bother putting his book back on the shelf. He got under the covers and laid down, but he was out before he could properly get comfortable under the blankets. Thor was pretty surprised that he was asleep that fast, but brushed it off as Loki being extra tired from his magic and the cleanup. He finished pulling the blanket over Loki and blew out the torches, then headed to the door to leave.

Thor quickly glanced back at Loki and slowly opened the door to step out.”Goodnight, brother.” He whispered before closing the door.
