i had a crush on the little idiot and stupidly told him (on the advice of squirrel girl and strange), only he freaked out LIKE I KNEW HE WOULD and now i have to move cities again
[ Loki is just going to go ahead and screenshot a whole conversation and then some because his phone is magic and can, and send them to David. ]
i cannot BELIEVE i thought being honest would work!!! i've been spoiled by peter and billy and their advanced ability to keep up with what i want, no one understood me like them and now i sound crazy!!!
tim thought i would be flirting seriously behind peter's back! bad enough to make my boyfriend insecure when he heard about it! i wouldn't do that!!! i do many awful and questionable things to people who don't matter much, sure, but i'm not THAT bad of a dick! okay, so me and billy had a thing but i never pushed it beyond a certain point because he had a husband i'm not a bad person to date!!
even stephen said i'm a catch even stephen!!! now there's a man who knows how to separate lust and friendship, i respect him more than i thought i ever could a sorcerer supreme of his ilk maybe this is my mistake maybe i keep going for young men who are too emotionally stunted to give me what i need i am not an option, as i told strange, i am a priority! i miss the way peter and billy knew exactly what i meant and and how billy would never make me feel like i was asking too much even though i always was
[Well, things David's learning today: apparently his technopathy reacts to magically transferred data by insisting it has a taste. Which, in this case, is something like rum raisin crossed with a mint julep. It's not entirely pleasant, and that makes his time to process all of the previous weight of conversation slowly.
Note to self, apparently bump number 11 up higher on the list of guesses because it was number one and wow that was a thing.]
And this is where I go out on a limb and make a few suppositions about Tim. I'm guessing dark hair, intelligent and yet sassy, probably foolishly noble with a heroic streak even if they aren't a Meta, and that this Tim absolutely does not take good enough care of himself.
That aside I get it now. You thought you found a Billy and instead you found a David. And of course your magic is caught up in your shiny new semi-Demi?
Listen, I'm going to have to agree with Stephen here. You ARE a catch, and honestly? I don't think there are a lot of mortals that are good enough for you. I also beg that you don't blow me off when I genuinely say that like Tommy does.
Where are you? Do you need drinks? We should address this with drinks. I'll pay of course.
i wasn't comparing tim to billy, he's not half as emotionally aware and it isn't that i "found a david", that makes it sound so weird
i think it's a question of experience you and billy are very comfortable with your sexuality while tim is dating some boring blonde nerd called BERNARD back home and i'm the culmination of everything their family hates about the joker but interested in tim
Hi, David! This is Billy's construct. :) Loki's yelling into his hands right now so I'm going to order us take-out and see if I can calm him down.
I'm making a comparison for my own sake here. Showing the difference of scale in acceptance and emotional awareness and ability to handle being cared for by you in a way that is good for you. Billy's on the good end. I'm not.
Okay, speaking as someone who LIVED with a version of Joker, you're REALLY not that. But you ARE intense.
Hello Not-Billy. Taking his phone away isn't a bad idea. Don't text Tommy please. I don't know if you'd confuse him or upset him or he'd be perfect chill with it, but it's probably a TOUCH weird to find out that the guy that he's hooked up with makes a construct of your twin brother as a stuffed animal when upset. At least I THINK I was reading those hints right. God (that is neither you nor Loki) I hope I read that wrong.
If he needs anything, anything that a Loki-power-level Faux-Demiurge can provide, let me know. I'll handle the apparently Robin (there's one ID truce broken) that Loki sent at me as best I can.
It's okay, David, I won't do anything I wouldn't do. ;) He says he's sorry "that all your stupid secret identities make it so hard to share any information" but that's definitely directed at the ceiling in general, not you.
He needs chicken and a nap, that's all!
[ A selfie is sent of Loki with his hands over his face and his head in Billy's lap; Billy himself looks ... extremely coiffured and cute in an oversized red sweater. His hair is more Young Avengers than recent styles. ]
You say that, but I feel like there's a distinct up-tick in how many smilies you're sending me compared to how many actual Billy uses with me.
And remind him those identities are important for me to maintain because I live in Excelsior and people are ABSOLUTELY OUT TO GET Metas, so preserving mine has mattered, thanks.
Also wtf did he do to your hair? Oh god you look like an UwU Billy.
He likes to bury his face in my hair, just like he did with the real Billy when he was here. They were closer than they admitted, but now he just needs company from me. I think he's adrift, and I represent a constant anchor. He's so desperate to love someone.
I should delete these messages before he gets his phone back ...
I'm here to provide what he needs to get better. Too much rejection is making his heart hard, it strains to give so much and has nowhere to go, so I've come to soften it up! Give it direction! Billy is his future betrothed, you know.
Time has no real meaning for Loki, he can go whenever he wants. He stays here because of you, his friends. He believes love will provide another anchor, a reason. Dinner is here! Talk to you later, David. It's been so fun to catch up!
Billy, one last thing... Try and keep him from making up his mind too fast. I'm talking to Tim, and while I can't say that things will go one way or the other, I wasn't wrong in saying he's a bit like me in that he thinks a LOT. Which means who knows what the final verdict will be.
Hopefully you can exert some measure of patience upon him, though I know it's not a simple task.
I'll try and see what I can do. Loki's heart isn't governed by his magic though ... :/ He feels things all at once, the rejection, the pain, it isn't in small doses. Like he needs to get it all out of his system to be able to move on. He changes a lot, inside as well as out.
I feel SO much wiser than regular Billy, wow. This is so cool, knowing all these Asgardian secrets.

He says he will never betray you! He means it too.
What's wrong with my hair? Loki likes it a lot.
no subject
I know Loki would never do that. I, and trust me I'm shocking myself with this statement, would trust him with my life.
Billy hasn't been that fluffy since high school. Tommy's the fluffy one now. Though you KNOW he'd never admit to it.

You have no obligation to do that. In a way you're just communicating what he wants you to.
no subject
Billy is his future betrothed, you know.
no subject
Take care of him, since he clearly wouldn't want his friends seeing him as vulnerable as he is now.
no subject
He believes love will provide another anchor, a reason.

Enjoy your secrets. Tell him if he needs to drink I'm happy to facilitate.
