[ Loki's brow furrows in gentle confusion and contemplation, immediately smoothed out by Mobius' kiss. ]
I hadn't realized staying was an option available to me.
[ Hadn't realized that it was something Mobius would tolerate, living with Loki, much less consider.
It's probably for the best that Mobius doesn't bring up love. Loki is unused to the concept being applied to himself and is already internally reeling, just a little, at the changes on the horizon. He's not afraid, not exactly, just... it's a lot of changes.
But he smiles, when Mobius promises that he won't go easy on him, and Loki shifts deeper into the other man's arms. ] Good, I wouldn't want you to.
[It's warm, cozy, safe. To be wrapped up in one another this way, what feels like away from the world. And the physicality is easier. This whole encounter has been emotionally trying. Not just for Loki. Not with the way Mobius found himself oscillating wildly between nervousness and the desire to carve his initials on Loki's heart.
He tries to quiet the part of him that thinks that maybe he's finally bitten off more than he can chew, that making himself responsible for that very heart is a step too far, that he's going to fumble it, drop it, shatter it to pieces.]

Get some rest. I'll be right here.
