Wrapping his hand around Loki's waist until it was against his pale chest. He could feel how cold he was, but he didn't blame him because of his heritage. The warmth collided with the cold. He intertwined his fingers in Loki's hand as he gave him the affection he deserved to have. After Thor's betrayal, Loki was left with nothing. He deserved to feel that he was loved and that is what Eric gave him. Turning him around once more to face him, he cupped Loki's face gently before picking him up by the legs to wrap them around his waist. He was light as a feather as he carried him.

That night became a bliss for them before they were laying in the bed together with Eric's arm around his waist. He treated him with care nor did he hurt him. They faced each other as he embraced him. "Did I hurt you?", he asked him with compassion as he traced a hand on his cheek.
