[Oh the things David would have let Loki do in that moment, had he only leaned in to claim David as his love once more. Instead there he was, leaving David reeling and confused over the outburst. Over the jerking away. Over the burst of light that felt more like a searing accusation and denouncement than some escape for the god.
For a long moment David was left there, tears stinging at his eyes as he reached out for where Loki had been. And then they fell. For a while he stood there crying, because the drama of the spell required it. His heart quietly ached at the loss of something so deep and important. And later he would hate that, be ashamed at the behavior. But that was after the tears faded and he had himself more relaxed, more caught up in the compulsions of this spell again.]
