Loki could make the argument that he already was broken. He was an echo of what was, an echo of a deeply flawed version of himself, and all signs so far had pointed to him not being able to escape that. But at the same time for all he was sure his company would hurt Steve in the end, he couldn't bring himself to actually try and push the man away, as selfish a creature as he could be.
What he hadn't been expecting was that Steve might need him too. It was enough to have him drawing back, but only enough that he could make eye contact, something confused and wary in his gaze.
"...You need me?" The why unspoken, as if he couldn't imagine what anyone might want him around for. And really, he couldn't.
