▒ FÓLKVANGR. 🗡🗡

waking up from the nightmares was always hard for tony. distancing himself from reality and falseness was near on impossible sometimes-- mostly because reality so often bled over. how many times had his nightmares been based in reality? his life, so full of horrors, they would plague him in the middle of the night.

he'd never been good at letting people comfort him in the aftermath. pushed so many away. kept himself isolated.

it was different with loki. somehow, some-fucking-how, the god had carved a space in tony's heart. found a way in. tony knew it left him vulnerable, but he'd also never felt stronger than in those moments after, with loki's hands soothing through his hair, grounding him.

he took a deep, steadying breath, but didn't release the iron tight grip on loki's arm. he needed this.

"don't go. i-- promise me you won't go--"
