[ Thor's temper is banked; he is not going to rise to it when he knows Loki is afraid. ]

You are making assumptions and judgments of yourself for him, he is an adult man capable of making his own decisions. You would not marry a fool, you have to trust him.

[ that stops loki in his tracks. yes, it's not about his past. it's about trust. and trust has always been the biggest obstacle for loki, the hardest pinnacle to climb. could he do it? trust someone else? ]

Everyone makes trust seem so easy.

[angelpiratebaby]

It isn't easy. Many people have broken my trust.

[ Loki obviously, their parents, and his friends too, Stark and Banner most directly with the scepter although he forgave them both quickly. ]

It is possible you choose to trust someone and they betray you, and I know that has happened to you many times, but you are not happy allowing that to shut you off from the world, Loki. You still seek real happiness, I see it in you now, you are not as cynical as you want to be.

[dothelokimotion]

. . . No.

[ it's a quiet admittance of the truth. he's not. he's not sure what it's like to be happy without doubt or fear. they've been his constant companions for so long and loki is loathe to give them up. in his mind, they've kept him safe, kept him from worse heartbreak. ]

I do want more.

[angelpiratebaby]

You're only going to get that if you take chances. Love is a risk, but the best things in life are.

[ Thor reaches out to take Loki's hands, squeezing them reassuringly. ]

I know you can do this.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki centers himself around that. if thor thinks he can, then surely loki can muster up the confidence. his fingers tighten around thor's hands. ]

I'll do it. I'll try.
