Wanting to bury her face in her hands, Summer settled for closing her eyes for a moment. \u201cI \u2026 jumped to a conclusion, there. Sorry.\u201d She tried to laugh. \u201cI thought you knew all my weaknesses before we started, Loki. Isn\u2019t that what you said?\u201d<\/p>\n

She looked back, green eyes to green eyes. \u201cCan you care for someone who will always know if you truly do or not? That\u2019s the sticking point for so many, you see, luv.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Loki took her hand in both of his and gently lifted it to his heart. \u00a0He pressed her fingers to him and held her gaze as steadily as he could. \u00a0It was often hard for him to maintain eye contact, considering he was usually being deceitful. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Not this time, though.<\/p>\n

\u201cFeel it, then. \u00a0Sift through my lies. \u00a0What do you see, fire child?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Her eyes went half-lidded and distant, fingers flexing against his hold. \u201cLoneliness,\u201d she breathed. \u201cHope, such hope. Relief \u2026 and gratitude.\u201d A silence that seemed long, but truly lasted only a few swift breaths. \u201cLove.\u201d<\/p>\n

The word was almost inaudible.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou do care. Why?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A small smile played over his face. \u00a0\u201dWhy not?\u201d \u00a0Still holding her hand, he led her back towards the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am only cruel when it suits me, you know. \u00a0And now, I must bid you goodnight. \u00a0Tomorrow, we will decide how to defeat Thanos. \u00a0There is much to think on.\u201d \u00a0His voice was distant now.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“So much for mischief,” she murmured. It would be a cold shower for her, surviving all that and then going in to his heart right after. Damn empathy anyway. Damn it and all its stupid side effects.<\/p>\n

With a sigh and a gesture, she dismissed the accoutrements of a comfortable evening and allowed Loki to lead her where he would.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
