He sighed heavily. \u00a0\u201dDone nothing more than care, I suppose.\u201d \u00a0He stood, looking out into the glow of morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wonder if anyone will mourn his death,\u201d he mumbled under his breath. \u00a0He wondered briefly about all the deaths that went unnoticed, every day. \u00a0And then there were those that were celebrated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Softly, Summer said, \u201cI do.\u201d She looked at her hands, lying on the covers. \u201cI can deal death, but it doesn\u2019t mean I like it, and it\u2019s sad that there was no way to save him from himself.\u201d She paused, blinking rapidly. \u201cEveryone should be loved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Except me, she couldn\u2019t stop herself thinking.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cNot everyone,\u201d Loki hissed, thinking of himself. \u00a0He excused himself to wash for the day. \u00a0\u201dIs there something else I can do for you, Summer? Before you are on your way today?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sudden anger shot through Summer. She flung herself out of the bed, heedless of her state of undress, and snatched at Loki\u2019s hand, projecting love as hard as she could. Through gritted teeth, she said, \u201cEveryone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Loki staggered back from her sudden touch, as an unfamiliar feeling pushed at him from all angles. \u00a0He felt it surround and press against his skin, curling warmly between his fingers as they were clutched in Summer\u2019s. \u00a0The feeling pricked at his eyes and climbed up his throat. \u00a0It was unbearably beautiful.<\/p>\n

\u201cAhh, what\u2026\u201d he breathed, but then could only close his eyes and pull her closer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She let him pull her in, wrapping her arms around him and pressing her cheek to his chest. “Oh, Loki. Look at us. Both so convinced we’re worthless people, so confused by others caring.” Closing her eyes, she kept projecting, pouring her sympathy and caring and desire for this wounded, struggling man out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
