Could you imagine being loki and having lived centuries of abuse and villainy and cold hearted people who beat onto you ruthlessly and carelessly and its all you’ve ever known for the entirety of your insanely long shitty life and then suddenly you meet this guy.
This one stupid guy who has a stupid name and holds your shoulders tight like he’s trying to hold you together and who wants to ride double seated bikes with you and who notices when you’re acting off and who lets you sleep at his desk while he silently reads and knows everything you’ve ever done—past, present, and future, and who cares for you regardless? Cares for you because of it?
Like. I get his decision so much because, jesus fuck, wouldn’t you do it too?
If it was you, if you were in his position, if you suddenly encountered unconditional love (from someone other than your brother) after centuries of only knowing priced/limited/restrictive love, wouldn’t you want to hold the universe together for this person too?
