[Alex, not wanting people to pry into his own past, had not pried beyond necessity into other's. He felt it all very personal, once he'd gotten over his shock at the idea of variants. That he was one. Mobius had gone to bat for him, pointing out that this Alex Mercer had tried to do right in the end. To clean up the mess he'd made, to save New York from being nuked.
Alex appreciated that Mobius had done that. The man had a strange way of making you trust him. Which is why he'd trusted him, when he'd set Alex to go through analyst duty with Loki. That trust had come to Loki--about whom Alex never pried. The God was part of myths in his world, after all--he figured he already knew enough to know whether or not he wanted to trust the other.
Loki had earned his trust so far. Was it worth his heart, which Alex wasn't always sure he had? Who knows--but for now they could take comfort in each other at least. Friendship was a good start after all.
This time, Alex kissed back. Tilting his head slightly, lips firm against the other man's. Thumb brushing against Loki's shoulder gently where he had his arm around him. A full participant, but almost hesitant. All of his knowledge of how to do this, was second hand after all despite being an intimate part of him after all; it was complicated.]
