( right. the hand pressed to loki's arm slides down, moves to his waist instead, as he tries to shift to lead the dance, rather than keep letting loki lead him. he takes a sharp breath in, steadies himself. )

I know you said you were spinning bullshit, but I still can't help but feel like maybe you are right. Maybe I was subconsciously doing something to Teddy. Maybe I'm doing it to you. I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know how to handle any of this. I still have nightmares about the Cube, about the rabbits. Most of the time I just want to curl up in bed and not do anything at all--Hell, I've been wanting to do that since I got here.

I'm not really hero-material, you know--but I'm trying my best. And keeping things bottled up doesn't help anyone. I know I'm kind of the worst person to say that, but. . I'm here for you? I Want to be.
