And once it does, Leah and I shall live happily ever after as Asgard's Number One Couple!
[He needed to do something to lighten the mood, okay.]
I actually told Ikol this before, but it's not about the kissing at all. Leah and I are... I'm not sure how to explain it. It sounds far too tropey to claim we're the only ones who truly understand each other. Still, we are fiction so perhaps it's fitting that we stick to our tropes.
Ikol used to- When he was a rude little bird, I mean. It sounds strange to imagine the grown man you and I know doing this now, but he would tease me about how my past self was much better with woman.
And when Leah... when she returned to Hela’s form, Ikol’s way of comforting me was reminding me that a romantic relationship was problematic if the myths ended up being true. As if that’s all she was to me.
I cannot speak to how Ikol was as a bird, as I was not there to witness it. But it seems to me, he had a rather simplistic view of things.
[ She wishes they were having this conversation in person, rather than over the distance of a phone connection, so that she may take her littlest brother in her arms and hug him. He is trouble, of course he is, but he is also innocent and she worries that his heart may be broken someday. ]
Love is many things, but never simple. It takes many forms, which is something you, as Loki, should know well.

I do not know what you have been told, but love is not all about the kissing. There is much more to it than that.

[Loki that’s not what she meant]
While still being love at its core.

That is not what I meant. I mean that love does not always have to be about romance or sex. There are many ways to connect to someone in intimacy.
You love Thor, do you not? That is a familial love. One of love's many forms.
