[ But you doubt me, Loki wants to whisper even as he lets Thor pull him close, all of you doubted me. I did it for you, I did it for all of you, why does no one realize that?
But Loki does not say that. It doesn't matter whether Thor doubts him or not, especially when the doubt has merit. He is too tired to protest otherwise because Loki can't untangle himself anymore. His past, present and future is twisted in knots and Loki can't see an end which isn't terrible and hopeless. He keeps surviving his deaths and being lost in the knowledge of a life without reprieve. Right now, Thor is warm and steady and Loki is a good liar. He can pretend he is loved, just for a little while longer.
Loki tucks his head in Thor's shoulder with a shudder. ]
