before Loki would even consider courting you, the two of you would have had to have had a strong bond for a long time
he wouldn’t be willing to entertain anyone with his attention unless they are someone he can actually see himself with
when he first starts courting you, your friendship hits a plateau
this is a new thing for both of you and contrary to the belief of some of your friends, it does change things
it takes some time for the two of you to start acting normally with each other again but once you do, the two of you are very close
PDA doesn’t bother Loki but he limits it to petting your hair or grasping your wrist in public
you understand the appeal of keeping things in the bedroom but that doesn’t stop you from wrapping your arms around his waist whenever you can
the two of you often read together
you don’t always read out loud, sometimes just enjoying the company as you read your books next to each other
Loki needs validation in his life and he’d want a partner that would be willing to put up with his constant need for affection
he just wants to know that he’s needed which means he enjoys helping you when you need it, even if it’s something small and “unbefitting for a God”
the two of you never settle down somewhere permanently, enjoying how it feels to travel the universe together
though you do avoid Earth most of the time, for obvious reasons
Loki enjoys banter and as such, he’ll often try to start small (and friendly) arguments with you
he likes how fired up and passionate you get
petnames are common between the two of you
so much so that you only ever use each other’s names when you’re saying something seriously
there are times, though, that Loki gets insecure about the relationship because he doesn’t understand how he was able to have a healthy relationship with someone after everything that he had done
he’s grateful for you every day even if he doesn’t always know how to say it
he does show it, though, and that’s more than enough for you
