They say patience is a virtue, but typically it isn’t one that Loki possesses. It’s not even one he agreed was a virtue, at least not until now. As he continues to kiss perhaps the most wonderful person he’s ever had the luck to meet, he thinks maybe there is something to waiting, even if he still worries some about time lost. It’s a bit of a battle in his mind, waiting for the right time or making the most of things and going for it sooner.

Though he will come to realize it doesn’t matter. They got there in the end and he wouldn’t change any of it for the world.

When the kiss breaks and Hob speaks, Loki can’t help but match his laugh, his own cheeks heating in response. He reaches up to gently cup Hob’s cheek and looks at him fondly. “I am so very glad to hear that because I would very much like to do more of that.”
