[ Loki will forgive him eventually, just not any time soon. It was too close to being dragged around to face his crimes in Asgardia, a feeling he never wants to relive.
He slumps sideways against Teddy. After a moment, he sighs as though having debated a heavy decision. ]
[When Loki slumps against him, he reaches up to brush his fingers through his hair lightly, carefully. It's a gesture Billy always finds soothing, and hopefully Loki does too.
He gives a wry smile at that.]
Are you sure, Loki? You haven't seemed that happy with it... and I don't want you to be miserable.
Aye. [ Defeated by tiredness and worn down from stress, he wants anything but to feel this way. Lonesome and empty. ] I suspect you and I will need a break sometimes, we can tag-team.
[ With a canny look sideways, as he tilts his head back into the stroking hand in his hair. ]
Okay... okay. Tag-teaming might actually be a good idea sometimes. We'll talk to Billy sometime, okay? Or-- you can talk to him first. I don't know how to approach this kind of stuff.
[He gives a short smile when Loki tilts back like that, keeping up the slow motions since they seem welcomed.]
Feeling a little better? [Now that he's had a chance to talk to someone, come to some sort of decision by the looks of it.]
A little, thank you. [ His free hand pats Teddy on the leg. ] But I can't ... be with him right now, everything has been too much. Can you take him for a while? Stop him from his depressive downward spirals.
[ Loki will exist outside the box of "boyfriend" for a few days or weeks. ]
Good. [He means that. Everything's just been-- bad lately. They all deserve a little bit of a break, he thinks.] I'll get in touch with him, sure. I'll make sure he's not on any windowsills or running off to the jungle at least.
[Well, when he can... stubborn.]
Take time. Take care of yourself... Billy will understand, as long as he knows you'll venture back around eventually.
I understand. You have to take care of yourself sometimes.
[Teddy really doesn't mind, honestly. Loki fits nicely at his side, and Teddy's kind of... missed having someone pressed close to him, tucked under an arm.]
Just as long as you understand I'm not trying to take your place or whatever... we'll both have our own place, and if issues come up-- we'll figure them out together, okay? I know-- none of us seem to do the talking thing overly well, but... it's worth the effort, right?
[ Usually one for being the chattiest in the room, Loki slumps against Teddy gloomily and falls mostly silent. It isn't until a few scenes later that he asks, without taking his eyes off the TV, ]
[Teddy is okay with quiet. It's better than the yelling they've mostly been doing-- and honestly, he's still not feeling quite right either. At the question though, he gives a nod he doubts Loki will even see.]
Yeah... I will be. I'm already feeling a bit better, I think... mostly for you stopping by, so thanks.

I don't mind if we both share him. Only us.

[ Teddy is now cemented to Loki's side for the duration of the movie that is being watched but not really taken in. ]
I can't keep the two of you apart, you all but raised me. That would be a shitty thing to do on a whole other level.
