"Well, just proving it's not a dream."
I saw Loki's lips twitch. Laughter rang out through the room. I looked at Loki and my serious expression caught his attention.
"Is there something wrong my sweet?"
I moved to him and wrapped my arms around his neck, my body pressed close. I looked deeply into his eyes. "Are you truly okay with this? I know the fact he's your bother makes it… different. Are you uncomfortable with that in any way?" I finished my thought in his head. 'If you are, as much as I love Thor, I will end that part of my relationship with him. I wouldn't hurt you like that for the world. And I don't want to damage your relationship with Thor. He loves you dearly and was going to give that night up, was never going to act on his love, because you're his brother. And I was yours. And he would not, could not, bring himself to hurt you that way. He didn't agree until I told him you really were ok with it.'
Loki looked at his brother with tears in his eyes. "Were you really going to give that night up, loving her as much as you do, just to not hurt me?"
Thor nodded. "You are my brother. I love you and I would not hurt you that way. She was yours, still is yours. And I will not take what is yours."
I took my arms from Loki's neck and moved so I could see them all. "I need to know, are you all ok with this. A third person. Loki, Bucky, I know you had said only one night. But then today happened. And Thor is now my third soulmate. I would not hurt any of you, but I honestly need to know if you're ok with it."
Bucky looked thoughtful. "I really don't have a problem with it, Doll. We just saw how he fits into the equation."
I arched an eyebrow at that. "Oh, so I'm an equation now. Does that make you all the solution?"
"But of course, my pet. Why would we not be when we can solve your appetite so well."
"Mmm, point there. I can't argue that. But back to my question. Bucky's good. Loki, Thor, that leaves you two."
Thor waited for Loki to speak. To him, he would follow whatever decision Loki made.
"Hmm. I was surprised to find today so… exciting and simulating. I had thought there would be some uncomfortableness seeing my brother naked, having sex, and the girl in question being my soulmate. But there was not. I felt no jealousy, only pleasure. I have no problem with my brother also being your soulmate."
I tentatively tried to read Loki's feelings. He felt my hesitation to step through my door still and instead sent his true feelings to me. Complete and utter acceptance. I let him feel the love and happiness I felt without holding anything back. My love for him was strong and I felt him mentally rock back on his heels as it hit him. I saw him smile and his eyes were shining as he looked at me.
I looked at Thor. "You have the final say, Thor. We're all accepting and gladly accepting if you want to keep us. As you can see, we're a rowdy bunch, and not so quiet. But we're full of love." I walked to him. "This explains to me why you were the one to heal me. You were a piece that I didn't realize was missing. Yes, I have cracks, but you made the picture whole. You were my missing piece. Please say you 'll stay."
He watched me for a moment then grabbed me and held me tight. "I would never leave you. And I am amazed that I too am a soulmate. I agree with Loki that it does not feel strange. And in a way, I think this will bring us closer, like I have always wanted. Of course I will stay."
"You know, this means we have another room to soundproof now. Fuck, I think we should just ask Tony to merge some of the rooms and put in a giant ass bed so we can dogpile sleep. Cause I like to use my loves as blankets and pillows as much as possible."
Bucky put his arm around my waist. "You know Doll, that's the best idea I've heard today. Well aside from having all of us fuck you at once."
"Yes, I think that was a much better idea, do you not, Brother?" Loki looked at Thor.
"I think it was an idea I want to have often."
I laughed. "You are in luck. We do that idea a lot. And I'm glad you have a soft side. I do love my rough sex, but I love when it's soft and sweet too."
Thor cupped my face and ran his thumb across my cheek. "Only for you Ari. No one has ever seen my rough side. And very few my soft side. And now, only you will see that."
Tears filled my eyes. I was so touched and overwhelmed by the love from all of them. My eyes widened as a thought struck me. I looked at Loki and he nodded.
"Well holy fuck nuggets."
Bucky laughed. "That's the first time I've heard that one. What's up Doll?"
I looked at Thor. "Hope you don't mind Loki in your head."
Bucky looked at Thor sharply. "Well fuck me sideways. Him too?"
I kissed him. "We can try that later, Buck. But yeah, I believe him too."
Thor had been watching the conversation. "Ari, what do you mean about Loki in my head?"
I twirled my hair around my finger. "Well lover boy, looks like I will need another door."
He got my meaning fast. "You mean I will have the special conversations with you?"
I nodded. "Yep. I can show you how to shield so it keeps everyone out, how to set up the doors so you can control sensation and conversation."
"Sensation?"
"That is better explained if left to action rather than words. The pattern has been that you will connect with us tomorrow. It has always shown up the next day after sleep." Loki smiled.
Thor shrugged. "I will pay any price to be with you, Ari. Even having Loki in my head." Thor stuck his tongue out at his brother. "Annoying little brat."
