[He felt it, the slack in his normally tight muscles, in the lack of just under the skin electricity that drove him into action again and again. The way that the longer he spends next to Paul, the easier it is to relax, to be someone he hasn't been in a long time.
All the expectations of what was going to happen that he'd set up in his mind were getting proven wrong -
An arm shifts without thought, Loki's heart skipping a beat at the new and also familiar contact as his hand settles on the curve of Paul's shoulders as he listens. A shop. Sounds about right. The stunt driving makes him smile. It was dangerous, sure, but a good application of the skill.
The tight squeeze has Loki shifting his hand to hug Paul's head against him, like a silent promise that he wasn't going anywhere.]
Free is good. [The best, actually.] And only assholes don't like mexican. Best thing we have here is a Chinese restaurant and a burger place. Gotta go out a half hour or so to hit anything Mexican.
