[ hearing this makes nico tense up, turn toward loki and grasp him by his shirt. he grips hard (though not hard enough that loki wouldn't be able to break away) and he can feel a constriction in this throat that comes from fear and panic. he's never realized that such idealization lived within loki, coiled up like a snake waiting for the perfect moment to hit the godling. he's never known a god save apollo to question his existence. he doesn't want that for loki. he wants to see the mischievous glint in his eyes and the smirk on loki's lips. ]
Don't you dare. I need you too, more than I ever thought possible. [ hesitation then because he very much wants loki and dick to be together, but he also wants loki to be happy. he's closer to the godling than he is to dick and frankly doesn't know what to say next. ] I would miss you.
[ but more than that, he wants to say, is that dick would miss him. he refuses to believe that dick would be so willing to abandon loki after the looks he's seen dick give him. ]
