I know. ( but fuck, jason has never appreciated loki as much as he does in this moment: giving jason space to handle shit while acknowledging that it's. blowing out of proportions a little. not offering shit jason doesn't want to deal with, or forcing his way in.

a gloved hand reaches forward, fingers curling behind loki's hair and pushing strands of hair back with it. the first bit of actual contact he's initiated--mid all of this bullshit. it's not skin-to-skin, but it still means a fuckton. )

With everyone popping up that we know, I'm worried the wrong person's gonna show up and fuck everything over. He's--( lips pressed tight together for a moment, before jason finds the words. )--sensitive. Someone fucked him up real bad in his own world, and if that person shows up? I'm gonna lose him.

( damian, his baby brother. the one person here jason is extremely concerned over losing. )

If anyone here finds the right pressure points--uses them--god. ( it wouldn't be as bad, but. ) Kid can kick my ass, Lo. If something snaps and he goes for it, I don't know who can stop him.
