PLEASE I would love that? Friendship can be a goal to work towards, especially if he sees that Loki is actually making an attempt at being good. STEPHEN DOESNT EXACTLY HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS EITHER, except like, Wong, even if he does have at least a moral support system via his sorcery comrades so he would benefit from actual friendship, I think.

It would be hilarious for Stephen to be like “I’m not having a magical pissing contest with you” while occasionally trying to outshine Loki with his magic, if he can ever make peace with the whole… entities and instilling fear in people thing. Woof
