[ Worrying on his lower lip. That's not what he wanted. That's not what he wanted at all. Loki doesn't want to be the albatross around Thor's neck, dragging him to Loki's level. Propping himself up slightly so that he can meet Thor at eye level, sharp and true. ]
Promise me you won't do that. That you will not give up what is yours for my sake alone. I won't abide it. I cannot.
[ He pauses, his breath coming out in sharp puffs. ]
It is a burden but it is also a privilege. To deny it just because it won't come to me. It'll do us no favors. Not you or me. Equality is in here — [ And he takes Thor's hand, letting his large fingers stroke Loki's forehead. ] and in here — [ Loki tugs Thor's hand to his chest. ]
More than words. More than gestures. It is a meeting of the mind and soul. I've loved you for as long as I live, but this — this needs to be worked on between us. With time.
