to say he was compromised was to put it lightly. so, loki didn't say it. he didn't even let himself think it, actually. he took that word and shoved it into some deep, dark hole in the recesses of his mind and said good riddance!
because saying it meant admitting to why he was compromised and in what way.
and that meant he would look too deeply into this little weekly habit of his of fucking off to the city he once was hellbent on destroying. well, not destroying so much as... okay, yes, destroying, but to be fair it hadn't really been HIS idea and if you asked him now he would easily say he was a different person then.
literally.
torture and mind stones tend to remake a person, divinely powerful or not.
looking at his visits as anything more than something to pass the time between his personal projects would be absolutely detrimental to his mental health.
so, he went with the flow, the natural pull of his life that called for him to spend more time in new york and thus more time with her. she was probably the only person who could truly keep him from going numb and dumb with boredom these days, too.
also, there was that thing about whether or not her illness was because of the aether, a little thought he had yet to share with her and likely would not.
loki had been on his way to the hospital when suddenly the perfectly blue sky cracked and crackled with an acutely formed thunder storm. was thor back from being off planet?? he followed the energy to where it appears a skirmish was happening with a pair of enhanced individuals trying to rob a bank.
but that... was NOT... thor.
"what the.... who-" loki was at a loss for words, mouth dropped open as he watched her gather the assailants, disarm them, and neatly tied them up by bending a fallen metal sign post around them.
"uhm-" he wasn't the only one watching of course, but he WAS the only one who stepped toward her to engage. "who in the HELL are YOU and how did you get that!"
i NEED shiu to make toji cum just playing with his nipples come ON u know that shiu is the ultimate brat tamer fr
WAITTTTTTTTTY because i was kind of thinking about this ???? 🙂↕️
imagine being between them but they end up messing around and they bicker. shiu’s like “shut up,” and toji says the classic “make me,” and he doesn’t expect for him to do that by making him cum—let alone from playing with his nipples.
he’d be so embarrassed, but likes the way shiu’s tongue feels against his sensitive nipples that was poking against his shirt all day. it’s all pink and swollen, he’s swirling his tongue around it before sucking it and toji’s groaning but a few whines slide out and he’s even more embarrassed 🙂↕️
i can imagine shiu be like “what’s the matter, big guy? you told me to shut you up.” and he’d either suck toji’s pecs or just give his nipples a brief squeeze before he ends up cumming, making a mess all on his lap. “messy as usual.” he’d probably snicker, grabbing his cigarette to put back in his mouth before toji avoids eye contact, not knowing what to say. IF HE DOESSSS SAY SOMETHING HED PROBABLY BE LIKE. “if you think you’re so tough, do it again then, asshole.”
