“Well, that’s good. It’s a pity we can’t have done more.”

"More?"

Adrian laughed.
“Well, again, that’s more of an ideal than anything feasible. Good God, if we did everything I wanted it would probably kill me.”

Loki's eyebrows went way up.
"Don't tempt me."

Adrian laughed.
“You care too much.”

"You might make a fun disposable napkin every once in a while," said Loki, wrapping an arm around his waist from behind him. "How do you feel about being used?"

Adrian stopped what he was doing and affectionately clasped Loki’s hand.
“I think it’s a good theory, but I don’t think it will work. I don’t think you’re as invested in this as you think, and you seem- if I may be blunt- too eager to keep Teja out of the picture, or to talk about how you think it will hurt her. No, I think it’s far more accurate to accept that we’re not as compatible as it outwardly seems, and go from there.”

“Perhaps I did.”

"Teja calls it...... hmm...... 'friends with benefits'. I know we're not exactly friends, but...."

“Loki,” said Adrian, putting a hand on his shoulder in an entirely inappropriately avuncular way given what had just transpired, “I don’t think that will go the way you want. It’s flattering, I suppose, to know you want it, though.”
He smiled brightly, genuinely, and a little apologetically.
“You can use the shower if you’d like. I’m going back to the party.”

"I thought you wanted it. You liked it well enough," he said peevishly, straightening out his lapel as an excuse to get some space from him. "Well, you're entitled to change your mind, I suppose."
One thing that he was absolutely not permitting was for Adrian to make it back to the party before him. He slinked back from Adrian with a dismissive, noncommital shrug.
"I guess I will be seeing you... downstairs," he said, pointing the fingerguns at him, then snapping his fingers and disappearing in a belch of headshoppy green smoke and sparkles.
