( thor makes a face, immaturely mimicking loki's chastising where loki can't see it. of course loki actually wants to study. he's completely ridiculous like that.
then loki goes on to mention jane, and thor manages to remember to look affronted, partially because no jane never did his work for him (okay, except that one time), but mostly because loki is still under the impression that thor is doing this to get jane back. maybe he was in the beginning, but now ... he's more willing to accept that it had been a mutual dumping. he's not even sure he misses her that much โ or, he doesn't miss being with her? it's complicated. he still wants to be friends, if that's a thing exes can be without it getting weird. especially when the person you happen to be fake dating and your ex can't stand each other. this will require more thought.
for now, thor is more interested in loki's face. he'd rather study the line of his jaw and the shape of his mouth all night than do his science homework. he's acutely aware of their knees touching, the warmth of that simple contact, and he tries not to become too distracted by it. or, really, by loki in general. he points to the equation in his workbook. )
( maybe jane never actually did thor's work, but thor didn't deny it, and that's as good as an admission in loki's mind. it's odd, but lately whenever he thinks about thor and jane together his chest gets tight in a way it never used to — or at least, in a way it hasn't in a long, long time. he might have had a crush on thor once — who hasn't? — but when it became clear that thor only saw him as a friend, loki extinguished that flame.
was he chagrined when thor chose jane, who was almost as unlikely a fit as loki himself? maybe a little. but he told himself that feeling didn't mean anything. he was just annoyed, as any friend would be, when thor started spending more time with her than with him. and now that the opportunity has presented itself, he's getting back at jane for that and for all of the other slights she's ever inflicted upon him in the years since they'd become rivals.
he looks at the question thor indicates, and his mouth forms a flat line. in all fairness, it is one of the more complicated ones on the page. but loki won't tell thor that. he takes thor's pencil, flips to a blank notebook page, and rewrites the equation. he mouths the numbers and letters as he does so, an unconscious habit.
then, he explains, in the simplest terms possible, how to crack the equation. afterwards, he turns to thor. ) Make sense?

This one. I can't figure out how to balance it.
