What If... Love is hate? • One-shots [ENG]

The reunion of Loki and Thor

Plot: Loki and Sylvie try to live a normal life in a different timeline than Loki came from. He never hoped he would ever see his brother again, but he showed up at their apartment door one day. Yeah, next one-shot story in a modern way.

[DeepL Translator Only] It was a Friday afternoon and Loki had just returned home. He called out to Sylvie at the door: "Honey, I'm home, I have a surprise for you."

Sylvie ran into the hall, smiled mysteriously and hugged Loki. "Me too."

"Really? What kind?"

"You'll have to see... otherwise you probably wouldn't believe me," she took his hand and led him into the living room. Loki watched her on the way as she looked excited and then immediately paused when he noticed their guest.

The guest stood up from his seat and smiled. "I found you, brother." Thor's voice almost quivered. It had been so long since he had seen Loki.

"Thor." Loki really hadn't expected such a surprise. He felt like going to hug him, but suddenly he didn't seem to know if he could.

"If you were really here, I might even give you a hug. Remember when I told you that?"

Loki smiled, he hadn't experienced this moment directly, but thanks to the TVA he knew this memory anyway, knew every pivotal moment from his future but hadn't experienced it himself. "You could say that I did."

"Can I do it now?"

Loki walked over to him, so he smiled, "go for it!"

Thor literally jumped at him and hugged him tightly. "Do you know how much I've missed you, you dumbass!"

Loki's eyes sparkled, so glad to see him again. "And you don't even know how much I missed you!" He said so sincerely.

Thor looked at him like that then, there was something different in Loki's expression than before, the long held grudge he carried with him was gone from his eyes, he looked content. "And you're hitting on me again. What's with the short hair?" He laughed.

Loki chuckled, "Yeah, well, somehow it happened... it wasn't entirely voluntary and it ended up staying with me."

"That's how it started for me too." He laughed, hugging him again and patting him on the back.

Loki then looked at him again, "I thought I wouldn't see you again... how did you even find us?"

They both sat up and Thor said: "It took a long time... what happened that day in New York and what caused it... I found out by complete accident."

"Yeah, I had no idea at the time what all this would do..."

"I don't think anyone did... much less that everything that happened afterwards... wasn't really that."

"Yeah this is more complicated..." which it definitely was. That was when he suddenly remembered Sylvie, who had been caught completely off guard by the surprise. She had left them some privacy and was in the kitchen. "I didn't even introduce you and Sylvie," he said in surprise, not realizing that they must have introduced themselves before.

Thor had to smile at the look on his face. "We had already introduced ourselves before you came. I'm not going to lie though, I was pretty surprised... I guess I would have expected anything but to find you living a normal life... alongside your girlfriend at that," he had this curious look on his face. Sylvie hadn't told him much about them either.

"Not just a girlfriend. She's my fiancée!" he said so proudly. Thor hardly recognized him. His eyes lit up completely as Loki said it.

"I'm so glad you found someone so close..." he could definitely tell that Loki was a completely different person now than before. "I always knew you had a much better side to you than you used to show. But I guess you had to come to that conclusion on your own."
