Disclaimer: I do not own Thor in any way. And even if I had the choice, I would much rather own Loki...

"Mom!"

Thor curled his upper lip up, bearing teeth to Loki who was quickly scurrying away and calling out.

"Come back here you coward!" the blond yelled with all the air in his little-boy lungs before he was off himself.

Loki had meant it as a little trick, something that would make his older brother snort in laughter, but this was going too far. He looked behind and yelped lightly as he saw that Thor was advancing on him faster than he had expected. The predatory look on Thor's face did not help Loki's hopes of appeasement either.

With his attention behind him, Loki did not see the looming persona of their father around the corner before it was too late. He hit the metalic plating of Odin's stomach at full speed, creating a ring that echoed around the hallway. Loki toppled down a moment later with a soft 'oof' of protest.

Thor was around the corner not a second after and was, for once, not so foolish to make the same mistake as Loki.

"Now what are you two boys up to?" Odin asked as he crouched down and ruffled both boys' hair, making Loki wince as his head was still sensitive from the collision.

"Loki tricked me!" Thor said with determination; "Just look at what he did!"

Thor pointed to his eyebrows, or at least, where his eyebrows had been.

"They're singed right off, now aren't they? How did you manage that, Loki?" he asked in clear amusement.

The dark-haired youth felt his chest swell in pride for a moment, ignoring Thor's glare aside of him.

"It was not hard, father," Loki said with a smile growing; "I just had to suggest moving closer to the hearth and with a simple spell, the fire picked up."

With Loki focused on their father, Thor took the opportunity to sneak up behind. With swift hands, he grabbed Loki at the junction of his neck and shoulders and pinched hard, making Loki yelp for a second time and attempt to shy away. Yet Thor kept his grip, making it impossible for Loki to shrug him off.

"That's enough," Odin said with a sigh, although there was a smile beneath his beard. The boys ignored him as usual.

As if they were only a few pounds each, he picked both his sons up and hauled them up on his shoulders, successfully ending the rudimentary fight. It only lasted for a few moments though, until Thor was leaning over Odin's head and tugging on Loki's ear.

"One day you boys will stop fighting," Odin said with another hearty laugh.

"Not a chance," Thor said with a wickled grin full of teeth and brotherly love.

Loki easily grinned back before pulling on a lock of golden hair, satisfied at the yip it brought from Thor.
