( in another life, not this one, and that's what's important to jason. loki leans into his touch and jason exhales sharp, takes just a moment before he's slouching over hard and pressing his forehead against loki's shoulder. careful to keep skin on clothed bits, because like fuck does he want to share how goddamn scared he is right now. scared of how much damian's going to fall apart, of what a few choice words from bruce wayne himself could do to jason, to all of them. if this bruce is as fucked up as damian's, they're all going to fall to pieces.

and no one wants to put up with that. ) 'm not his keeper, but being an older brother means a shitton more than just keeping. ( there's a weight that comes to it, one jason hasn't really stopped to consider before. there has always been dick grayson there at the front of the line, dick to take all the weight onto his shoulders, to keep jason out of it because they all know how much he fucks shit up.

dick's here, but there's so much bullshit damian won't share with him. things he's alright with jason knowing, but--neither of them wants to piss off the golden boy. )

Need contingency plans for our contingency plans, honestly. Fuck, everything's a huge goddamn mess.
