[ Loki looks at him like he's said something impossible. Steve doesn't get it. He smiles, soft and bemused, and runs his fingers up the inside of Loki's arm. ]

No one has ever done something like this for me. It might be easy for you, but I've never gotten to touch a star before. You took the time to give me something special, Loki, and I can't repay you properly, but I'm grateful.

[ He raises his hand to cup Loki's cheek and wipe away the scattered lights from his eyes. ]

Thank you.
