[ Maybe he doesn't know better, but Chris still wants Loki around. So far he's not given him any reason to not want him around. He's not stupid, they've both only shared the tiniest slivers of themselves today, of their lives, of their pasts, but sometimes that's all that's really necessary for a connection.
Maybe it's for the best that they leave things here, on this alien planet, in this stranger's house, considering Chris's life expectancy and the dangers that plague his daily life, but if Loki doesn't seem bothered by the fact that he's apparently thousands of years old — which implies he might continue to live for yet more thousands of years, considering how young he looks now — and Chris would live to just about a hundred if he was lucky, then why should Chris worry about it? It's not a proposal, it's just a suggestion, and what's left of Chris's future looks fairly bleak, he doesn't see the harm in reaching out for something that makes him feel good.
Sliding his hands down the arms wrapped around his middle, Chris slots his fingers between Loki's where they rest on his sides and squeezes. ]

I'd like that.
