[ There's a little pause before finally there's that familiar burst of that rainbow light before Thor was standing in front of his little brother with a bright and playful smile.
He wastes no time in reaching forward to pick up the slender, younger boy into his muscled arms and pulls him into a tight hug.]
[There's no contest, of course. As ever, there's only getting swept up and crushed, no matter the level of cat-like thrashing and squirming. (Besides, admittedly, somewhere under the protest and huff, Loki's clinging with his own churlish brand of affection.)]

What, no taunting initial guesses?
Easier, certainly, but I'm hardly about to drag myself out of bed and get them myself.
Re: @asgardianss
So.
This is laziness then?
On both counts?
BROTHER. Put in the little effort.

On the second count, brother. And really, it's less laziness and more the infinite tragedy of wasting away with no one to care for me.
no subject
Ah. Right.
Come now.
I care for you. You know that.
no subject
Do I know that?
[he does know that, admittedly, but this seems to be a wallowing in self-pity sort of evening.]
no subject
Or the version of you I knew.
Do I need to come there and drag you out that bed myself, darling brother?
no subject
no subject
What would you wish for?
no subject
Why? Are you feeling particularly magnanimous today?
no subject
Perhaps I just miss you.
no subject
[the faintest pause of consideration, then]
Do you?
Miss me?
no subject
Of course I do.
I miss you.
In so many ways.
Do you miss me and my affection for you?
no subject
Are you really going to make me say?
no subject
Say it and I shall attend to your needs for the next day.
no subject
Of course I miss you.

I missed you too, little brother!
no subject
--there. Good. That's sufficient.
