Loki was sitting in the cafe, waiting for Mobius. His friend invited him here because he wants to tell Loki something important. The god didn’t know what he was talking about, but he hoped Mobius is okay. He looked a little bit gloomy. He didn’t want Mobius to be sick, or worse, to die. The agent was his only good friend. He understood him, made him laugh and most importantly makes him feel loved and happy. He couldn’t have wished for a better friend. He really loved Mobius in more than one way.
Since he got to the TVA his thoughts were a mess and Mobius was the only one who could prevent him from thinking about all this stuff, he had learned the first day he got here. The agent was always so supportive of him. Loki didn’t even know why Mobius liked him in the first place. He was a villain, a bad guy. No one really likes those. But he, Mobius, seemed to like him the way he is. And that made Loki feel valued.
When they first met, the god noticed that Mobius was looking excited and happy. Almost like a fangirl. At first it was simply weird, but then Mobius told him the truth about the other Loki and then it all made sense. He just wanted to know him better so he could capture him. At that time, he didn’t have a purpose anymore, so he agreed and helped the TVA. Now he has a work and some kind of purpose in his life.
After some time of waiting, Mobius finally came. „Hello Loki, sorry I’m late, I had to take care of some mess, you know,“ agent said and sat down next to Loki. Loki shifted a little because he felt something was off. But he didn’t know what. „Hey, so what is it that you wanted to tell me? Another Loki variant I have to take care of?“ Loki asked and raised his eyebrows. Mobius smiled. „No, no. It’s just I wanted to spend some time with you,“ Mobius answered. Loki gave him one of his looks. „Really? Yesterday it seemed more important and now you just want to talk?“ Loki asked suspiciously. He noticed that Mobius is nervous, and something bothers him. „You know you can talk to me,“ he added. Mobius sighed and looked down at his shoes.
„You know, your job here is done. I know you can still work here, but we aren’t coworkers anymore and we don’t see each other that often,“ Mobius started, his voice a little bit shaky, „and I miss you, I want to spend more time with you.“ Loki looked at him, confusion in his eyes. If Mobius really wanted to be with him more often, he could have just said that. Loki knew this still wasn’t the real reason why he wanted to talk. „And?“ Loki raised his eyebrows. Mobius was still looking at his shoes and sitting tensely. „Come on, just talk, I know you like to talk, so why don’t you just tell me what’s wrong?“ Loki said worriedly.
„I-I just don’t wanna be friends, Loki,“ he said, fear in his voice, fear of rejection. „I want something more, you know…“ He clarified and looked at Loki. The god looked shocked and confused. Mobius started to regret what he had said. „Loki, I- I really like you, a lot actually. I’ve always had. And when we are together you look happy so I thought you liked me too, but never mind, It’s all in my head I guess,“ he said nervously and smiled awkwardly. Loki gave him an apologetic look. He was right, he liked Mobius too, but they couldn’t be together. It didn’t seem right for Loki. Mobius deserved better than him. Someone who could actually make him feel happy and loved. “Moby, I-I like you too, but this isn’t a good idea. I’m not good enough for you, you deserve someone better,” Loki said with a sad face. “Loki but you’re good enough, I love you. I want you,” he said and reached for his hand, but Loki pulled away. “No, you don’t, I’m a villain, no one wants a bad guy,” Loki explained. “I’m born to harm people and hurt them, you don’t want me, Moby,” he said with distance in his voice.
He sounded so cold suddenly. Mobius knew he tried to hide his emotions, so he couldn’t read him, but this gesture told him everything. Loki was afraid of a change and still felt worthless. Mobius saw the fear in his eyes. Loki’s scared that he will lose him, lose what they have now. He’s just stuck in one point and is afraid to move forward, because in his past moving forward caused him more pain and he didn’t want to feel that pain ever again. Loki thought that staying in one place will make him feel better, but it won’t and Loki knows this, yet he’s still stuck, he wants to be. “You’re not a villain, Lou, that’s not how I see it,” he paused for a moment, reached for his hand again, but this time he made sure Loki can’t pull away, ”You’re just a lost soul. Let me help you find yourself again. I know we can do it together. Make each other happy,” agent said with love in his voice, stroking Lokis hand with his thumb. Loki was silent. “I know you’re scared, let me erase that fear. Just don’t let your it blind you and stop you from being who you are. You are such a fascinating person, Lou,” Mobius said with a smile and hope in his face.
Loki looked him straight in the eyes. He could feel the love Mobius felt and was willing to give him. He haven’t seen someone love him so much, since he last saw his mother. Tears started to stream down his face. He didn’t want to hurt him like he hurt his family, he didn’t want to lose him. “I don’t want to hurt you,” Loki said sadness all over his face. “I don’t want to hurt you like I did hurt others” he explained. Mobius let go of Lokis hand and reached for his face. He started to stroke his cheeks with both of his hands. “You won’t” he smiled, “and now stop crying, princesses don’t cry.” Loki laughed, wiping his tears away. Mobius pulled Lokis head closer to his and gave him a kiss on his forehead. “I’m not a princess.”
