Loki twitched around the corner, watching. \u00a0He felt his hands clench and unclench, legs drift forward a few hesitant steps. \u00a0It is not my concern. \u00a0I don\u2019t care. \u00a0I shouldn\u2019t care\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Then he found himself sitting beside her, taking each of her hands in his and gently wrapping his fingers around hers. \u00a0\u201dSummer. \u00a0Summer, wake up. \u00a0You are dreaming,\u201d he spoke quickly. \u00a0He was entirely unsure how to comfort someone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hands grasping her hands startled Summer out of the dream with a little shriek. \u201cOh god, oh god,\u201d she panted, eyes wide and blurred with panic. She clutched at Loki\u2019s hands, staring around, breathing slowing down gradually. \u201cI hate that dream \u2026 \u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOne you have often?\u201d he asked softly, letting go of her hands and moving back slightly, nervously.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pushing herself out of the pillows, she pressed a hand to her heart. \u201cMore often than I care to think about, honestly.\u201d She smeared a hand over her eyes, wiping away tears. \u201cIt\u2019s been a while, though.\u201d Giving a small sigh, Summer sat up entirely, folding her legs under the covers, and regarded Loki. \u201cWell, I\u2019m all better now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAre you?\u201d he asked seriously. \u00a0He felt it would be prying to ask what the dream was about, as much as his curiosity was piqued. \u00a0Another time, perhaps. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLast night was\u2026straining on us both, no doubt.\u201d \u00a0He blinked and toyed with his fingers thoughtfully. \u00a0\u201dStill\u2026Thanos is dead. \u00a0And you fought brilliantly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cEh.\u201d She shrugged. \u201cFire is easy to fight with, you just throw it around. I just \u2026 wanted you to \u2026 I don\u2019t know. I know he hurt you, but you were so glad to hurt him back. And I was in his mind. So you were \u2026 kind of hurting me too.\u201d Summer reached out and put her hand on Loki\u2019s, stilling his restless fingers. \u201cBut I\u2019m glad I could help.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He made a face. \u00a0\u201dA bit self destructive? \u00a0You should not keep my company, Summer. \u00a0You should be on your way. \u00a0Is there something I can do for you, to even my debt?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She had to close her eyes against the pain of his words briefly. Sent away. Unwanted.<\/p>\n

She should have listened to the dream.<\/p>\n

Summoning up a smile, she squeezed his hand. “I know I said that, but truly, you don’t owe me anything. I was glad to help, even a little bit.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
