【Hammer Base】Forever in Love Underwater

Everyone thought he was Thor.

In various portraits, he is always scarred and holds up his hammer high, as if he is holding a banner of illustrious military exploits; his eyes are like torches, staring at the enemy falling from the sky. battlefield.Between the sky and the earth, there are lightning bolts—that is his infinitely extending power, which is tearing the world apart; the sky and the earth seem to be a thin piece of paper, and he only needs to shake his arm to penetrate the back of the paper. ——

When the painters draw here, they will always perform some artistic processing on the picture: the lightning should burst out from the dark clouds, and before the thunder and lightning flash, there must be wind and rain; but under the brushes of the Asgardians, the dark clouds are ignored Nothing, only lightning, meandering across the sky.Perhaps they thought that the sky above Thor's head should never be covered with dark clouds.

Loki stands beside him. Thor looked up at the sky, but Loki looked straight out of the screen; the other main gods and guardians of the Golden Palace on the screen all held weapons, but he was empty-handed-he had neither weapons nor divine power.At least on the screen, he did not call the wind and rain, nor did he shine brightly, and there was no sign of extraordinaryness in his body; in the chaotic battlefield, he stood upright and graceful, with his hands clasped in front of him, with a meaningful expression on his face. smile.

Everyone was furious, but he was smiling.He is always smiling.The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and it was hard to tell whether it was a hidden knife in his smile, or his affection.

There is also a ring of light on the back of his head, which is a few extra strokes added by the painters, giving him a symbolic godhead.The painters are really considerate and know how to save face for the royal family in the smallest details.But in fact, no one knows whether Loki is a god or what kind of god—after Thor, Loki should have traveled in the Nine Realms to experience his own destiny to become a god.But day after day, year after year, he has never been summoned by the gods.Since Thor walked out of the temple, the door has not been opened, so Loki has not become a god so far.

Loki is both a god and no one can tell what the hell is going on.Everything about him always seems so specious and elusive.His expression is half a smile, his words are ambiguous, and his attitude is ambiguous. He is like the moon, which is cloudy and sunny, its phases are changeable, beautiful and hazy.

But most of the Asgardians don't care much about this-they have Thor, just like having a radiant sun; at night, they all fall asleep.They do not long for the moon as they long for the sun.

Odin never mentioned it, and neither did Figga. Thor wouldn't even mention it, he was afraid it would make Loki sad.They all acquiesced to the painter's little action, and with a wave of the brush, Loki became a fictional god on the scroll.

In the illusory ring of light, Loki's face and figure are drawn realistically. He already has a kind of cold beauty, but among a group of hot-blooded warriors with disheveled beards and bloodstains, his coldness becomes even colder. Beautiful and more beautiful.The envoys from Alfheim came to see Tianyan, walked to the center of the Golden Palace, looked up, and showed a surprised expression.He pointed to Loki on the dome, and asked the interpreter beside him, "Is that your goddess of beauty?"

The interpreter shook his head in embarrassment, he didn't know how to answer and he didn't know what kind of god Loki was.

The envoy asked again, "Is that the God of Love?"

His words somehow offended Loki. Loki cast a spell slightly, making the steps outside the golden palace infinitely extend, no matter how hard he could go to the end.The poor envoy walked out of the gate of the palace, walked and walked, walked and walked, and walked for a whole day and night, but still did not return to the ground. It was not until Thor found out about this and said a few words that Loki unlocked the spell and let the envoy He left Asgard crying.

The envoy recorded in the book: The second prince of the Golden Palace has the god of beauty and the aptitude of the god of beauty, but his virtue is like an evil god, and he takes pleasure in teasing others; fortunately, the eldest prince is generous and brave, and is a god of thunder worthy of praise——

Everyone thought he was Thor.

Before becoming a godhead, he would often think of this question: What kind of god am I?He is the son of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, with such a noble background and lineage, he is destined to have an extraordinary destiny.When he was born, there was a vision in the sky: the sun suddenly split into two, like burning eyes watching all living beings.The people gathered in front of the Asgard and waiting for the news raised their heads in amazement and looked at the two suns; they couldn't help kneeling down, and found that there was sunlight in front of them and behind them, and everyone's shadows disappeared; for a short while, Ah Sgard has no shadows and becomes a place of pure light.

Then, there was a loud cry in Asgard——Thor Odinson was born.

At that time, people said he would be the sun god.

When he was two hundred years old, he looked like a young child, and the dwarves who came to offer treasures were two heads taller than him.Dressed solemnly in a red and gold intertwined gown, he held his mother's hand and received guests beside the throne.The gnomes paid tribute to a rare emerald—a miracle in the history of Walter Alheim—and the gem was as huge as a rockery!Twelve strong dwarves pushed the strange treasure with a rumbling cart and moved it into the hall little by little. Thor immediately yelled excitedly, "I'm giving the gem to Loki!" He let go of his mother's hand and rushed to the gem.In his heart, only his unparalleled younger brother is worthy of using these unparalleled treasures.

On the spur of the moment, the dwarf leader told him half as a bet and half as a joke that if he could lift the gem, it would belong to Loki, so Thor blushed under the exclamation of the crowd, and unexpectedly Forcibly lifted the huge and incomparable gemstone.Even Odin stood up from his throne in surprise.

At that time, people said that he would be the god of strength.

Later he grew up.He is so handsome, so tall, so chic!There are thousands of languages ​​in the Nine Realms, but those countless praise words are all eclipsed in front of him.If you were his subject, you could not help being filled with admiration and pride just by looking at him.He went to the battlefield for the first time when he was [-] years old. When the enemy saw him descending from the sky in light, he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart and his army was routed, but he won without fighting.

At that time, people said that he would be the god of power.

At the time, everything was up in the air.His appearance, his marriage, his life and death are still unanswered.He believes that his future is firmly in the palm of his hand, but he does not know how to divination and cannot read his own destiny.Among the countless unknowns, only the love line has a direction early - in the long boyhood, he and Loki were once inseparable.The first time he was angry was because of Loki, the first heartache was because of Loki, and the first time he was jealous was also because of Loki, the enlightenment of his feelings and thoughts all point to the same source; his awakened love naturally has no second object Can entrust.He doesn't have the ability to choose, much less the will to choose - Loki is his only option.

When Loki was around, he only saw him; Loki ran away from him, he was in a trance, everything in the world looked in his eyes, as if it was him, he was trapped by love, like a lost poet, he learned to look up at the moon .

How bright and bright the moon is, the moonlight is like cool running water, calming people, those grievances that cannot be spoken out loud in broad daylight, all choked up in my heart.

——Why did Loki ignore me?What did i do wrong?What do I have to do before Loki will forgive me?

Loki likes the moon, he often blows out the lamp late at night, sits on the window sill, and reads a book by the moonlight.As he reads... Thor hides himself in the shadow of the garden, looking up at him.His slender fingers flipped through the book page by page. When he was tired, he raised his eyes and looked at the moon quietly.

Somehow, Thor seems to hear his voice: if only it rained.

So he began to imagine rain for him—he imagined that in the great river surrounding Asgard, the water vapor slowly evaporated and gathered into floating clouds; the clouds here and there were driven by his strange power, and they gathered crookedly in the sky. In the sky above Asgard, they collided and rubbed against each other, like the meeting of flint and fire—he imagined it so hard, his fists clenched, his face flushed, and his whole body trembling—finally, the first ray of fire appeared!

A small but sharp lightning, like the first arrow of love, suddenly pierced the sky.

--It's raining.

Loki gave a small, sweet smile; he reached out the window and raised a hand to touch the raindrop that was almost floating in midair.He actually looks a little happy, like Thor used to do every time he kissed him.

After that, Thor often imagined rain, and it was always difficult to succeed at first, but later on, he became more proficient at manipulating thunder and lightning.He can even manipulate the wind and the sun, making the sky of Asgard an extension of his consciousness.Whenever Loki gets restless, he closes his eyes and calls for him.Asgard's sky was clear, save for a small curtain of rain that hung low over the garden and Loki's balcony.

Loki sat on the edge of the balcony, stretching out his feet mischievously, dangling in the gentle rain; his snow-white insteps were tight, the arch of his feet was a smooth arc, and the tips of his toes were slightly pink.He lowered his head, the ribbon slipped to the ground, and his long black hair spread out, and covered his whole body wetly with thousands of raindrops.He raised his eyelids, and there were fine raindrops on his eyelashes, like tears that were about to fall.

Thor's heart skipped a beat, and there was a loud crash in the sky.

——Later, Thor heard that the Atrium has a set of fixed standards for "beauty", which surprised him.In the mythology of the people in the atrium, the god of beauty is often a beautiful woman, which also surprised him-the Asgardians believe that beauty is ever-changing, holiness is beautiful, filth is also beautiful, sublime is beautiful, and humbleness also hides beauty ;The god of beauty is ever-changing, and has no fixed truth; beauty is in the rain, in the petals, in the blood, and in a smile.It's everywhere.

He has been surrounded by beautiful things since he was a child; heaven and earth clothed him with gold and silver, and sent sunshine, morning dew, and mountain streams; gods congratulated him for his birth, sending courage, strength, and virtue; Birth brings blessings, satins, ribbons, and jewels.But this young prince didn't think it was so rare. He drank honey wine and galloped through the Nine Realms, seeing magnificent sights in his eyes, but he had never been shocked by beauty, never tasted a beautiful life, Not a full life.

His desire and strength grew wildly, like an eagle soaring with wings, flying higher and higher, but he didn't know the taste of satisfaction.

Finally, the eagle circled, circled, its wings wet in this rain, and landed on Loki's shoulder.How beautiful he is.At that moment, Thor realizes that true beauty is a kind of dusty satisfaction - and finally found it, and it is him.Others don't think Loki is so beautiful; in the eyes of the world, he is probably just ordinary handsome.But no matter what titles the gods will award Loki in the future, in his world, the god of love and beauty will appear in the image of Loki.

When he became an adult and a god, he thought, he must break free from all shackles and become a lawless lover.He wanted to grab the paintbrush from God of Destiny, and heavily underline Loki's name: Take everything else away, just leave him to me!

The night before the test of becoming a god, Thor couldn't sleep at all.He was sure that he would not fail, but he couldn't help being filled with excitement, fear and anxiety.He tossed and turned, and the sky swelled in response to his emotions.After a while, the rain started to fall, and he jumped out of bed covered in sweat - he was going to find Loki.He wants a look from Loki, that look is his talisman when he walks through mountains of swords and seas of fire.

He walked through the garden, looked down, and saw a series of familiar footprints.He is all too familiar with the shape of Loki's feet, each of these footprints is on his heart.The garden was full of red flowers, and Loki's footprints were filled with petals that had fallen into mud, as if blood oozed with every step he walked.

He followed Loki's footsteps, wearing flowers and willows, and finally found his love and beauty - at that time Loki's hair was very long, black satin-like length reaching his waist, and his skin was so white, black and white Under the opposition, his freshness, beauty and strangeness are so prominent, like a raised relief on a flat world. Thor stepped into the water and hugged him tightly; he was skinny, and even his beauty was angular, and he could cut those who loved him.Such a person simply cannot return to the idol——the idol must be heroic and prudent, how can it move people's hearts?

Thor has long been infected by Gu, so he is willing to kneel beside him. Loki reached for the flowers above his head with wet, cold hands.In the night rain, his skin was actually glowing with a faint, lustrous light, like the moon.The prince who is about to become a god grasped that hand, like a believer holding a small icon, like a gambler tightly holding the last chip.

"If I come back alive," he paused—no, no if, he will definitely come back, "I have something to tell you when I come back alive. You have to wait for me."

He carried Loki back to Asgard, but Loki didn't look at him.He closed his eyes lightly, as if falling asleep. Thor's hands are holding Loki's body, but when he only needs to look at the door, the door will open; he glances at the curtain, and the curtain will be lifted automatically, and when he put Loki on the bed, the wet body Both her hair and her hair were dry, only the tips of her hair were still a little cool.He covered Loki with a quilt, looked up at the dome of Loki's bedroom - the gems offered by the dwarves were broken and cut by skilled craftsmen, and inlaid one by one on the golden dome, forming a golden and green starry sky.

Shocked by his eyes, the starry sky quietly dimmed.The bedroom was dark and quiet.He hesitated, and leaned down slightly, wanting to give Loki a kiss, but Loki immediately pulled the quilt over his head and refused to let him out.

"Although I don't know why you are angry, but you have been fighting with me for almost 200 years, it should be enough," Thor begged him in a low voice, warning him, "When I come back, you have to be good, or I- "

Loki reaches under the covers and kicks him hard; Thor grabs one of his feet through the covers and kicks the other up.Only this time Loki missed his aim and kicked in vain, his ankle brushing against Thor's crotch. Thor erects.The foot was retracted as if it had been scalded. Thor gritted his teeth and stood up, "I'm leaving."

Loki moves under the covers.He gently pulled down the quilt, exposing only two eyes.The eyes are curved and full of smiles.

Thor dreams of those eyes that night.In the dream, Loki looked up at him in the water; he swam around and turned lightly, his black hair fluttering, telling him to get in the water.He hesitated, fearing that he would suffocate underwater.But looking at him with those smiling eyes made him lose his fear and reason.He stepped into the water step by step.The moment the water was above his head, Loki floated up to him, cupped his face, and gave him a soft kiss. Thor's eyes widen in surprise—the suffocation is gone.

With his kisses, he can breathe underwater.

They hugged and kissed and kept sinking.sink.His lithe body clings to Thor, his legs wrapped around his waist; Thor enters him, and he jerks his head back and opens his mouth, moaning silently; his long hair stirs in the water. The bubbles are like pearls in the hair.He was so happy that he turned into water, and so was he, water and water blended together, there is me in you, and you in me, without any effort.

The sparkling water shines in Loki's eyes, Loki loves him, love is in that look, Thor knows that from now on, nothing in the world can scare him and make him despair.

So when he stepped into the trial, he easily overcame fear and despair—there had never been a god as fearless as him.Scarred and satisfied, he walked towards time, but time did not meet him; "You are a god standing outside time," time told him in a ticking voice.He shrugged, left time, and walked towards desire. "Desire" created for him a dream of being invincible and invincible, and promised to give him the most powerful weapon in the world; he played two rounds happily, and then Choose to get out when the time comes - never has a god been so needy.As long as Loki is still waiting for him, there is no desire in the world that can bind him tightly.

He was drenched in blood and walked towards the final "death".The door symbolizing death opened slightly in the darkness, revealing a ray of golden light.He reached out and pushed it away, stepping into the legendary realm of death.

The light that hit his face made him squint his eyes.When his eyes finally adjusted to the light, he suddenly saw his father, the Heavenly Father, wearing a sword and holding a golden gun, standing in front of the gods.That was Thor's first eyewitness of the fabled vision of the gods.He thought the gods were brilliant and beautiful, but the appearances of the gods in front of him only looked eerie; the cold mist filled the murals and flowed slowly.The eyes of the gods also moved slowly following Thor's footsteps.

"Father?" Thor was confused—shouldn't he have seen "Death"?But this is clearly within the temple, where is death?He walked towards his father blankly, "Is the answer already out? What kind of god am I?"

His father didn't answer him.His golden gun slammed hard on the ground, bursting out the sound of gold and stone.

This is what makes him kneel down.He knelt down and asked hopefully, "Is it all over, Father?"

—Yes, everything is over.His fate was fixed, and the gods decided that he would never love again. He was so angry, terrified, and desperate that he couldn't help but slammed the hammer on the figure of the gods.But Odin's golden gun flew out, knocking down his hammer.The gods looked coldly at Thor who fell to the ground, the last descendant of the Asir, fell to the ground and cried like a mortal.Thunder rumbled from the sky, and heavy rain poured down.

Odin couldn't bear to see him mourn, and closed his eyes, "You must understand that heaven and earth are not kind to you," the All-Father's voice trembled, "to be kind to all things."

He understands, of course he understands.What he cried was his own "understanding".If he lives in ignorance, he can push open the temple door and hug Loki tightly.

But he understands.So he just walks past Loki.Staggering towards Asgard.

Everyone thought he was Thor.His father declared it so, his mother thought it so, and he claimed it as such.During the celebration ceremony, everyone toasted and shouted his name three times, "The God of Thunder! The God of Thunder! The God of Thunder!"

How he wished it was true.

Loki wasn't at the ceremony. Thor was very drunk, crying and laughing; he vomited profusely and drunkenly clutched at the hem of his mother's skirt, begging her to see Loki.He dreamed that Loki was slowly sinking to the bottom.His heart ached so much that in a trance, he felt that he had indeed stepped into the realm of death, and he could not get out of it for the rest of his life.

But Loki shows up the next day, and even smiles at him rather warmly.He sat in his seat and carefully cut the food in front of him.Everything he does seems to have a concentrated demeanor—if he loves someone, he must love with all his strength, and if he hates someone, he must also hate with all his strength. Everyone thinks he is a smooth guy. He's a gangster, but Thor understands that tact is just a cover for him; beneath that faint smile, he's an either-or extremist.If he decides to let go, he will let go completely and never look back.

The way he smiles at him, Thor knows it's over between them.If Loki treats him coldly, it means he is still betting against himself, even if it is a bet for hundreds of years.But as long as he's still angry, it means he still cares.But he suddenly figured it out and let go, which means he decided not to care about it.

He doesn't avoid Thor anymore, and he doesn't sarcasm him any more.He treated him with civility and politeness, as if he were an irrelevant person.

That's as good as it gets, Thor thinks - and he's happy with it.If he doesn't love Loki, and Loki doesn't come to love him, then the matter between them will be completely over.It shouldn't be too difficult to be a pair of brothers who live in peace.After all Loki has his own business to attend to - he's started wandering around, absent from home for months and years, and his whereabouts are mysterious. Thor occasionally hears rumors of his misbehavior, that he's been living a pretty wicked life out there, having affairs with giants, hanging out with giant wolves, and doing things a protoss shouldn't do.As for Thor himself, he is naturally very busy - he is the prince of the country, the new god in the world, and he must fight on the battlefield.He turned the kingdom of giants upside down, drove all the wolves out of the border, and covered the floor with wolf skins—he and Loki kept their own lives, and it was no big deal.Brothers in other families are like this, each with their own ambitions and careers, and will fight each other if necessary.

Thor is happy with that.His life was full of wars and victories.Every time he triumphantly, he would laugh happily, drink non-stop, and one cup after another was thrown to the ground by him.

"Come again!" he yelled drunkenly, waving the hammer, "I can still drink!"

He raised his glass and drank so fast that he almost spilled the wine in his face.He raised his hand, wiped his nose hastily, wiped his eyes, and wiped his beard.He seemed to be choking on the wine, so he swallowed with difficulty.Then he raised his head, with a silly smile on his face again, "Come again!"

Asgard became a rainy country.

No one noticed the strangeness between them.After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between them has not changed much.They never had a fight, and they weren't very close after they stepped out of their teenage years.They are the most common pair of brothers.But Thor knows how many twists and turns there are in this long, nearly thousand years.Nothing had happened between them, but everything had happened and was over; they had never really said anything to each other, but had said all they could.

After they became adults, they became a pair of brothers and sisters in such a muddled way. Frigga said with relief that they had finally grown up.

In the eyes of outsiders, from beginning to end, they are just brothers.
