*Warning: short; not as fluffy as my others (but still a little bit)*

"I ... I couldn't. You have been through so much pain. I can't risk to put you through any more."
Loki's pleading face lit up with a little smile. "You are right. A relationship would give you the power to give me pain. But if I have been through so much pain - and I have - tell me, does a little bit more matter that much?"
I lifted my head to look him in the eyes. Weight went off my shoulders, I was relieved. I smiled a bit too. "You are right." I take a step closer. "And I have been through the same pain. Different, somehow, and the same. It still hurts. Like your pain, I suppose." I took a deep breath. "I don't want to hurt you. But you are right about the last thing you said. We can go through this together, and if we experience any more pain, it will be worth it. I love you."
Before Loki can say 'I love you too' (and he definitly tried to), I close the distance between us with a kiss.

Inspiration:

This little oneshot was like a little cry after the finale yesterday (maybe little spoilers from here). I am missing his mischievous side. Soft Loki is great, but he got lost in that. People can be good and mischievous. This is somehow worse than him being dead or evil. I don't feel betrayed, I feel like I lost him.
But I have the Loki in my head, and the next season, and all the past Loki's I love. So if you are feeling the same, don't sink into it. We are strong together, and we will go through that and come out stronger and happier than before!
