No more... Brave and self-assured Thor.

Even if I could return to Asgard again in the old days, I wouldn't be able to recover that feeling.

There was only sadness and pain that was so overwhelming that it stuck in my throat to the point where I could hardly speak.

“I can't...I can't do it... No...no..." Thor muttered repeatedly in a trembling voice. Ever since he secretly escaped from that rabbit...he couldn't suppress his mental deterioration, and he walked all the way haphazardly, like a crazy person who couldn't keep track of himself, with the image in front of him completely blurred. Maybe it's because of the unlucky water that clings to the edge of his eye and won't let go...

Before he knew it...he had returned to the same place where he had first warped from the present to appear here... He also stood with his head bowed and moaned for anyone to see. The magical mirror between his rotten sneakers and the tight black shoes adorned with Thor's signature green trim. I almost forgot to breathe. You don't have to tell me. Where is he?

'In front of the cell of the God of Deception and Chaos'

...The cell....of my one and only little brother...

Thor cursed his stupidity and tried to sniffle...contemplating every possible way to get out of this position. Because his current condition was too miserable for the other party to see. Secretly praying that Loki wouldn't remember him. That's it....haha, probably can't remember...because he's no different from a moving beer keg and his hair is messy. Most importantly...he was standing with his head bowed.

...Of course...it must be...Loki hasn't seen it yet...

...Because of that, I definitely can't remember... My younger sibling... definitely doesn't know...

Just when he was thinking of keeping his head down and quietly walking away...that soft, half-sarcastic tone made Thor's heart immediately fall into a pile of tears.

“Thor...what are you doing? Are you going to bother me again? ” But...that question is no longer an issue. What mattered now was calling his name in that familiar voice. It was the only thing Thor had been craving for all these years, ever since the ship was destroyed by Thanos. Even if you say that that sound...

It was something he longed for, but on the other hand he wanted to run away because the image in his mind of his beloved brother being strangled by Thanos until he floated before breaking his neck in front of his eyes was still etched in his mind. He...who has no abilities whatsoever and cannot help anyone at all. Even your own significant other

He...this mighty Thunder God...could only watch his beloved brother die in front of his eyes...all he could do was scream...

Thor's hand shook... along with the sound of snorting, he felt like he was about to lose his mind again... like a dam full of cracks... close to containing the emotional waves of yesterday's agony. He could hardly keep his mouth shut.

“Hey...are you drunk? I don't want to listen to you complain, you stupid brother. "If it were before...Thor would probably be annoyed and angry at this stupid little brother who kept talking to irritate him. But now he isn't... How can Loki scold you for being a stupid older brother? Or you can stab me in the stomach as many times as you want...because...I...

...miss....

...I miss you so much...Loki...

Thor's patience seemed to be collapsing and he was now like a man who was completely exhausted. His limbs became weak and he collapsed to sit on the floor... forcing himself that he couldn't take it anymore...

“I... ugh... I shouldn't have come here.” Thor began to cry and mutter in a muffled voice... no matter how much he missed him, he didn't even dare to look up at the other person in front of him. Even Those lifeless eyes are stuck in my chest like a scar that will never fade.

Look at this now...even if he ran away easily like this...he still couldn't do it...

...What is it like to be the God of Thunder?

...How to be the holder of a powerful weapon...

...in the end...it's useless...

...Completely worthless...

Loki, who was in the cell, was silent, his brows furrowed slightly. Look at his older brother's attitude which is different from everyone else. He looked hesitant...confused before trying to think of the cause of the strange symptoms the other party was experiencing. He couldn't help but think that he had accidentally eaten something wrong and had become swollen like this, as well as the enemy who might have come to disguise himself as his brother. But no matter what you think...

His instincts told him that this was it. It really was Thor...but it was Thor who lost his focus. He couldn't find any ego or arrogance from the Thor in front of him.

Loki sighed... lowered his head and folded his arms over his chest... looking a little hesitant before speaking in a softer voice than before...

“You..uh...I.... I can't leave you... come in first.” Because this is a magic prison cell. A prisoner like him would never be able to leave this territory, but it was the right of the royal family. that can still walk in and out of this room without any conditions If Thor in front of him could walk in...that would be like confirming his feelings that the other person was definitely the real Thor.

As soon as he received permission, the person hugging himself easily rushed towards the thin body of his younger brother in the cell, and the thrust was so strong that Loki fell backwards. Along with the force of the hug so tight that the person in the embrace could hardly breathe.

Loki was so irritated that blood rose to his face, it was sore and dirty...it smelled of beer everywhere. Damn it! He was definitely right and wrong!

Suddenly, the white hand that was about to raise and strike the big brother's back was stopped because he felt wetness on his shoulder, along with the sound of sobs that almost suffocated him.

Loki was helpless...he had never dealt with such a flustered older brother before and it was as if he was the Thor he knew and didn't know at the same time...

It's not...Thor...that it should be right now.

Loki pursed his lips, his intelligent brain quickly processing the possibilities that were happening to Thor before him...

...Drunk...?...No, this is normal...but it's especially serious if something bothers you. Thor in front of him right now is probably more suitable for the latter. ..Plus, it looks like those beers are almost absorbed into the bloodstream...

...or have committed a serious sin?...It's possible, but the first person Thor should lean on should be Odin, not me...

...But the long and messy hair and beard, as well as the bulging stomach that can truly be called 'belly'... is not at all like the moody Thor who was yelling at me yesterday...

...The condition of the body changed too quickly...the ugly clothes that were worn...the emotions that plummeted...

...Definitely not the Thor I met this morning...

Loki could feel the agony in the other's voice...

...My arrogant brother... it shouldn't be like that...

Loki slowly lowered his hand that was ready to attack before placing it on his wide back and embracing the man in front of him instead...

“Brother...” Loki's voice was not as harsh as before, it seemed calm and made the listener feel at ease in an indescribable way.

“Huh...” The trembling water made Loki remove his hand from his back, sliding it across Thor's broad shoulder to rest on Thor's bearded cheek before gently holding the other's face up. I came up to meet his eyes and found... that one eye was different..

“Your eyes...” A white hand gently stroked the other's eyelid... “What happened to you.....”

"Oh, what's wrong with it? It's just the eyes..." Loki raised his eyebrows slightly. Thor, who was more possessive than anything else, did not appear in this person for a moment, as if he had faced countless losses. Until these things become small things that have no value...

“You are not the Thor I am familiar with.” Loki tilted his head slightly, narrowing his eyes a little...looking at the other person carefully....before continuing in a low voice, as if he was weighing quite a bit about what to say. It came out... “The future...is it really cruel?”

Thor's eyes flickered quickly and his lips pursed tightly. His face looked crumpled in many parts. Before speaking in a tone that sounded like it was a joke but he couldn't stop the trembling at the words he said...

“Are you joking? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I didn't tell you that you were from the future...” Thor almost laughed through tears...His younger brother was right about everything. He came from the future....a cruel future where everything was completely destroyed. And most importantly, a future...without you...

Loki wrinkled his nose slightly, groaned, and removed his hand from the older man's bearded face and instead poked the other's stupid-looking nose. “Who do you think raised me? The most brilliant woman of Asgard doesn't have eyesight... and neither do I..."

Those words caused Thor's lips to twitch...a smile that couldn't be helped, as was the mischievous little wizard who always got his way.

“Yes...you understand correctly.” Thor's voice became hoarse...as if he was drowning in painful memories. “...I'm not Thor here.... I am Thor who failed and had nothing left...I...just stood there holding an ax..."

Even though I don't understand what I'm talking about. But as soon as Loki could feel the desperation and sense of collapse in Thor's voice, he decided to say something...

“Do you know what failure makes you?…” Thor shook his head and raised his hand to wipe away his tears, looking like a fat kid who had been bullied. Even though I had always been patient, when I met him...that patience came back to shattered until I fell unconscious. Tears of a proud man were falling. Even though Loki wasn't sure about the relationship between him and his brother in... future But from the point of view...

The relationship between us must be quite special...it makes his heart secretly feel strangely tickled...

As his emerald green eyes looked at the large man in front of him who was seriously depressed... Loki couldn't help but let out a small smile. It wasn't the cynical smile he usually did. But it was a comforting smile...the kind that Mother liked to give to them.

“Just like normal people.” A white thumb lifted up and smoothed the edge of the other person's eye, gently wiping away the tears. while trying to call back that Thor who was full of hope and confidence...

“Everyone fails at living up to other people's expectations. But the measure of success must be how much he can be himself. ”...saying this Because Thor has now lost his sense of self, he is lost. I could only walk in chaos without ever looking up to see the exit...

“If you came here with a purpose… then you have intended to overthrow half of that failure and the rest depends on it. You will abandon it in the middle of the road. Or you will complete it yourself....that is your choice.” Loki looked slightly embarrassed as the other man stared at him blankly.

The two colored eyes that were dull before began to show some sparkle...

Thor was silent....before his strong hands sent him to grab the other's thin waist and lift him up, changing the straddling position from a moment ago to a sitting cross-legged position. Then he brought the little brother who had relented and calmed down to warn him and sat him on his lap while hugging the other person tightly.

The Thunder God's hand rose up to gently caress his raven-black hair before closing his eyes, leaning forward and whispering in his ear in a more steadfast tone...

“Loki...thank you.” The warm touch they gave each other made both of their hearts swell without realizing it...

And that... made Loki's face start to feel hot. He wasn't used to this idiot acting like an adult... it made his heart tremble without realizing it. Before doing anything more incorrectly The shouts of the strange creatures immediately helped the God of Deception....

“Thor!!! Now come and scream!! Rocket quickly slid to the front of the cell, showing off a bottle containing a red substance in his hand... but when I looked closely, if I didn't remember wrongly, it was the person that the Beer Barrel God hugged and wouldn't let go. is the troublesome younger brother that

avenger

I'm embarrassed...well...I don't want to worry too much about my family. But soon those guards will definitely come after me....

“Brother Hammer, are you done begging your younger brother? I have received the Truth Jewel, please return.” As soon as he was followed, Thor, who was being healed by his younger brother, almost withered. Ears fell, it was clear that he didn't want to go back now.

Loki saw this and quickly put his hand on the other's broad shoulder before standing up. Pretend to brush off your body. Then he folded his arms and raised his head in a slightly arrogant manner, typical of the God of Deception.... Looks so cute and nostalgic in Thor's eyes. Until people can't help but be dismayed because if they go back... there will be no more Loki...

That...is something I have to accept...

Thor moved to get up, even though he was sluggish in style until his stomach was full, but the change in his eyes and posture made Loki smile softly at the corners of his mouth.

“Like I said...are you going to abandon that intention in the middle of the road? Heh...I don't want to embarrass myself because I have a loser brother." Thor heard this and laughed. Loki began to laugh at him again. But let me tell you...it made him feel good...

“No, I'll do it.”

“Hey, if Brother Tang Beer is this obedient, Please tell him that Eat lots of vegetables.” Rocket, who had been watching their conversation for a while, couldn't help but ask if Brother Tangbeer believed him that much. Please help tell me about it!!

Loki looked at the talking raccoon for a moment. Before turning to meet Thor's eyes...

“That's it...Good luck to you.”

“Goodbye, Loki.”

After successfully defeating Thanos, Thor decides to travel across the universe with the Guardians. Even though these people are crazy and shouty to the point of being annoying sometimes. But it made him more comfortable.

Now they decided to come and rest on a star. He's not sure of the name because it's so long, but I've heard that there's a lot of great food here. Also, those of the level

premium

Suitable for all the elites to buy and sell here, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

The Thunder God decided to take his body, which was starting to get firmer from exercising, to find a pitcher of cold beer to drink... He chose to sit and sip beer outside the shop, looking at the people passing by with pleasure. Like he had to stop when someone walked in front of him...

It's like a fraction of time has stopped. ....Shoulder length black hair, emerald eyes that are beautiful and extremely charming. And... a familiar sly face in a simple black robe decorated with intricate green patterns was walking with a golden staff like no other noble. But what was more important was what was decorated on that staff.

A blue gem that can cross time and space without limits...

Thor's heart trembled... The hand holding the beer glass clenched tightly. He was making a decision without knowing what time period the other party would come from. And how do you feel about him? But...still, this lesson in life has taught him...

Every time is precious, no matter what he will do next. Its response may or may not be as hoped. But Thor now decided to give it a try.

Why? ...Loki will always be important to Thor.

“Excuse me, do you have time to go for a walk with me?”

END?
