[dothelokimotion]

[ loki nods, looking away. ]

I never wanted to go anywhere else. I only thought — it would be easier. Not to have a living reminder.

[rebuildyourruins]

[Thor barks a laugh, finding that helplessly funny.]

I would rather a living reminder than none at all.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he winces at that. ]

Still. I am the cause. I cannot even apologize for it.

[rebuildyourruins]

Stop.

[They've fought over this once already. Thor's tired even thinking about starting that argument again. He reaches up and clasps the side of Loki's neck lightly, something he hasn't done in quite a while.]

I don't want an apology.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki swallows, trying to blink the wet sheen from his eyes. ]

What do you want then?

[rebuildyourruins]

I just want... [To not be miserable anymore? He shakes his head.] I want us to work together, to whatever end it takes us.

[...]

And I want to go to sleep, I think.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki shivers briefly from relief. it felt good to hear that, to know that. to not let his own doubtful mind run in precarious circles. he tucks his chin on top of thor's shoulder. ]

Then rest here, brother. I've got you.

[rebuildyourruins]

Oh, yeah, I was going to.

[That had been part of the point of coming over. He wasn't going to ask.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki rolls his eyes, shoving him lightly. ]

[rebuildyourruins]

[Thor just snorts with amusement and rolls away to lie down. Without that nervous pressure winding him up, it finally feels like he can sleep.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki huffs before he settles himself on the bed, looking at thor's back. it was a comforting sight, one that seemingly lulls loki to sleep, despite himself. ]
