"ah shit."

he might heal quickly, but it still hurts like hell. the older he gets the easier it is to shrug most of the pain off, but even a metal spine knocked out of place is going to mess him up for a hot minute. the moment tony's pulled him up, logan's legs give a wobble, and as much as he hates to show weakness, he's still grabbing onto the man's armored forearms so he doesn't faceplant in the middle of the street.

the moment passes, the piceces of shrapnel have all made their way out of his body, and the pain subsides. his only discomfort now lies in the blood that's drying on his skin. well that and the look tony is giving him.

"i handled it, didn't i?"

there's going to be a lot of clean up that he supposes stark industries will have to write a big, fat check for, but that's never been a concern of his.

"bad guys are dead, i'm not. another day in the life."

maybe it's exhaustion , perhaps it's the wine , possibly it is simply the ever-turning perspective of loki's personality , this evening just so happening to land squarely on that 'sentimental' side they are normally so eager to decry in front of anyone else . most likely , it is a combination of all three , which has them plainly staring at mobius from where they lay beside him . the elegant length of their fingers cradle either side of his face , holding him there for just a moment long enough to likely stir some confusion . but , just as that line is crossed , loki speaks the simplest explanation - 〝 i love you . 〞 - && moves forward , pressing their cooler mouth against the remarkably familiar softness of mobius' lips . && they linger , patient , almost uncharacteristically absent of hunger . just a moment shared within the life they want to spend with him , always && the unspoken promise of it all sealed with a kiss .

loki is staring at him so intently. it only just occurs to him to ask what it is they see, but before mobius has even parted his lips, they answer. that answer isn't what he expected. rendered speechless and just in time, as they place the sweetest kiss to his lips. a kiss that punctuates their declaration of love to him. eyelashes flutter, blue eyes open, and mobius smiles while he presses his hand to the small of their back, as if to dare loki to try and leave now. to emphasize this, he slips his foot between their ankles and curves his calf beneath their leg. they aren't going anywhere soon and neither is he.

"i love you, too. i love you more. don't try to argue with me about it because i promise you i'll win."
