I'm not afraid of being seduced. If it weren't such a terrible idea in terms of emotional entanglements, I would venture to say I'd be interested in being seduced, but I can think of two or three reasons off the top of my head that that would be problematic, and I'm sure you can name a few dozen I've not thought of.
The trouble is, I'm as awkward with close friendships as I am with lovers, if not more so.
You all give so freely, so emotionally. I may always struggle to wrap my mind around that, and while I'm rationally aware that affection is not transactional, my heart often fails to comprehend what my brain understands. I don't think there is anything that will make me cease fearing that I will break what I have, except time and reassurance.
[And if Ravage were face to face with him right now, the expression on Loki's face at that last reassurance would speak volumes of blended bewilderment and hope. It's a shame text is such a cold medium. But there's a long pause, again, and then:]
