Helplessly Hoping (джен)

When Thor awoke, he did not think of his brother. When he arose from his bed and attended to his daily morning routine as king of Asgard, not a single thought regarding Loki fronted into his mind. When he stood at the helm and groggily reevaluated their route through space, nothing. Thor refused to spend another day ruminating over less important matters, and the matter of Loki and whatever mood he holed himself in was far less important than running a kingdom.
He succeeded, right up until he nearly knocked Loki over outside of his bedroom by turning the corner and running straight into him.

OR: Loki was avoiding Thor. It didn’t last long until Thor found out why, and the answer was far more grim than he expected.
