Notes: Still feeling my way in this fandom. Finally the bunnies decided to try something a little more adult and as always I adore the relationship between Thor & Loki. This is set before the film, so before everything goes wrong between them. I'm not sure whether to continue this or not or whether to bin it – let me know what you think. Anyway, as always this is unbeta'd so any mistakes you find, please, please, please forgive (I mean it PLEASE!)

As the clatter of yet another tray being dropped and the stifled yelp of surprise of the poor servant echoed around the banqueting hall Loki simply raised his goblet and hid the knowing smile.

He was bored. And a bored Loki was never a good idea. He took a long sip of his drink before lowering his cup and letting his gaze wander across the packed hall. He shifted in his seat trying to look interested in the inane nonsense bubbling around him. It wasn't that he didn't enjoy carousing and drinking but the current company he found himself in left him longing for someone who could string more than two words together without grunting. Just as he raised his hand to make another pass of mischief, a large heavy hand clamped itself around his wrist and a hot teasing breath tickled his ear as he was ordered to, "Behave."

Loki turned his head and smiled innocently he batted his eyes teasingly, replying coyly, "I am behaving."

"That was the fifth tray that has been dropped this evening," chuckled Thor indicating for the few remaining shield brothers at the table to vacate the area. Slipping into the now empty seat beside his brother he chuckled again and sliding a hand around the back of Loki's neck he gave him a tender squeeze.

"Then maybe we should get some less clumsy servants," replied Loki, the green eyes sparkling with mischief although he couldn't help leaning back into the all too familiar caress of his elder brother's hand.

Thor shook his head and laughed. As much as the rest of the court mocked and teased Loki for his love of magic, Thor enjoyed his brother's mischief making, beside which Loki's conjuring had proved to be of great use at times. He ran his eyes over his younger brother drinking in the slender yet powerful form. Letting his eyes roam back up the enticing figure Thor found himself staring into the green pools he often dreamt of. Grinning he leant in and asked, "Will you grant me a favour?"

"What sort of favour?" asked Loki his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Try and behave for the rest of the banquet?"

Loki pouted at him but as Thor caressed the back of his neck again he couldn't help the soft longing whimper that escaped his lips. With a rather petulant huff he turned away and snapped, "Fine but only because you asked. I am only behaving for you." He folded his arms across his chest and slumped back against the chair glaring at the rest of the room.

Letting his hand fall away, Thor leant back in his own chair content for the moment that the various trays and servants were safe from further interference for that evening at least. They fell into a comfortable silence, Thor drinking his ale while Loki sipped his preferred strong wine. As he lowered his cup Loki realised his brother was watching him, the brilliant blue eyes burning with enjoyment and something else. Something that made Loki's breath catch in his throat. Giving a nervous little cough he asked, "What?"

"You're bored," replied Thor titling his head slightly.

Loki cocked an eyebrow and praised mockingly, "Well done, Brother, top marks for observation. And what bought you to that amazing…"

"Maybe I should give you something else to think about," interrupted Thor, his voice thick with emotions. Emotions that made Loki suddenly sit upright in his chair and squirm a little.

"B...brother?" he stammered licking his lips as his brilliant mind tried to catch up with where this conversation was going.

"Maybe," breathed Thor leaning in closer, his hand resting on Loki's thigh to stop himself tumbling forward, "I should think of something more enjoyable to occupy your attention."

"What did you have in mind?" whimpered Loki shivering as the large hand flared over his thigh. There was nothing new in such contact between them. They had long since given into the strange attraction they felt between them, the bond that was deeper than any bonds of simple brotherhood.

"A challenge," chuckled Thor his hot breath caressing the side of Loki's neck making the younger prince whimper under his breath.

"What… what sort of challenge?"

Thor hummed under his breath and leaning in even closer he slid his hand up Loki's though until he could palm the all too visible bulge in Loki's britches. Loki's hand lashed out grabbing his older brother's hand, intent of pulling it off, hissing, "Not here, we'll be seen. It's too visible, Brother please…"

"That's the challenge," chuckled Thor all but nuzzling his face against the soft ebony hair, "Conjure an illusion to hide us from view. Hide us while I pleasure you, right here in the hall with everyone around us."

"You're mad!" exclaimed Loki, his green eyes wide with fear and arousal, "If we are discovered…"

"I have faith in your magic, little brother," rumbled Thor, he pressed a surprisingly soft kiss against Loki's cheek and breathed, "Make me proud of you."

Okay so should this be continued or should I bin it?
