[To Peter, he's just being honest. He's been closed off for a lot of years, only starting to see cracks of the person he was emerge again after so long and even then it's not revealing the same person as before, but someone new. It should have taken a tremendous amount of time to get to this place of honest openness with Loki, and yet it all arrived so quickly that it still sometimes leave Peter feel kind of light-headed and like he's spinning.
Like when Loki says stuff like that about him, like he's somehow unique and it feels surreal. The only thing that makes him believe Loki means it is because he trusts what Loki says, even having been told he'll likely lie at some point. Weirdly, Peter already gets the sense if Loki did lie he could trust that too, in some paradoxical way.
But then there's the other way Loki speaks to him which is equally head-spinning for entirely different reasons and Peter can already feel the heat tingle up the small of his back and rise up the back of his neck as his hands slide down to run down over Loki's wrists and the backs of his hands.]
You made dinner.
[Are those nerves making him blurt out odd priorities. Maybe. Shh!]
