\u201cD-don\u2019t,\u201d she managed, once the seizure had run its course. \u201cC-can feel that too. Ah god it \/hurts\/!\u201d Biting her lip, she strained against a resurgence, fists clenched. \u201c\u2018s not your fault, L-loki. I called it \u2026 t-to me. Should have ex\u2014expected this.\u201d Every breath shuddered in and out, shaped by force of will.<\/p>\n

Finally, finally, the spasms ran their course, and she sagged against him, limp and aching. \u201cI\u2019m sorry you had to see that,\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His hands reached out towards her face, shaking a bit. \u00a0He pulled them back to hide that unfortunate weakness. \u00a0\u201dNo, I should not have involved you in my\u2026\u201d he shook his head. \u00a0\u201dPlease\u2026what can I do?\u201d he asked quietly. \u00a0Helplessness was not something he could tolerate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer rolled her shoulders, trying to ease the lingering ache. \u201cAre you good enough to give me a massage? I\u2019ll beg, if you want. Gods, OW.\u201d A swift circling of her head on her neck yielding a series of pops and a sigh of relief. \u201cAnd don\u2019t let me hear you telling me what to choose again. I could have let you go. Remember that, and don\u2019t say you involved me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf nothing else, please just hold me for a moment, and let me pretend you care.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Loki said nothing to that, only frowned. \u00a0For some unknown reason, he was bothered by his reputation; that was a first.<\/p>\n

Careful hands worked over her shoulders, down her back, gently gathering her hair out of the way, and then he was holding her to him, quietly. \u00a0Like it or not, he had involved her. \u00a0And he had been involved with worse.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer stifled whimpers when he hit particularly sore points, burying her face in his chest. After a moment, she came back up for air, and murmured, “Let me guess. You think I said that because of who you are.” Her voice was a little raspy, a little tired. “You think, because you’re the ‘God of Lies’,” the quote marks were audible, “I believe you can’t care.”<\/p>\n

Suddenly, she was hugging him, fiercely. “Did I not say, about your light? Of course you can care.” Muffled against him, she added, very low, “But no one cares about a firechild.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
