Ok (Loki X Mobius)

betrayal

     After the fleet of minutemen arrived on Lamentis they made quick work of both saving and then restraining the loki variants. Sylvie of course put up a fight when approached but after taking down two guards she was quickly overpowered. An angry looking mobius accompanied the minutemen and refused to even look loki in the eye. At this point loki knew he was in trouble.
     When they all arrived the tva looked like hell. Loud alarms still blared annoyingly and units of minutemen still ran around haphazardly in and out of the timelines. Papers and files scattered the floors and lights flickered overhead. It was utter chaos and Renslayer was nowhere to be found.
     Upon entering Loki and Sylvie were both immediately placed in time collars, much to sylvies detest, then separated. Sylvie showed unease to being separated from loki which caught him off guard. As they took her away, loki looked back and caught a flash of something in her eyes that he didnt think he'd ever see in her. Fear.
     Loki was taken in the opposite direction down a long hallway he hadn't recognized. Then a few of the guards left them, probably  to tend to their unmendable crumbling timeline.
     Once somewhat alone with mobius besides from the remaining guards that were still holding loki by his arms, loki finally broke the silence.
     "Look mobius I know you have no reason to trust me whatsoever but you have to listen to me"
     "You expect me to listen to you after what you did?" Mobius laughed. "That's real funny loki."
     "Look you don't understand I wasn't trying to team up with the variant"
     Mobius looked over at him. He wasn't laughing anymore.
     "Ok well at first I wasn't but you have to listen ok? You and all the other tva agents are being lied to"
     Loki heard one of the guards next to him scoff at this.
     "Yea sure loki you can tell me all about that while you're getting reset"
     Loki froze making him stumble a little and the guards had to practically drag him for a second. He couldn't belive what mobius had just said.
     "Wait mobius, reset? What do you Mean reset?" He remembered that word from the trial and was certain that it meant death or worse.
     "You didn't think you could just get away with all of this unharmed did you? Loki you quite literally bombed the sacred timeline, well at least your little friend did and she's going to be reset as well."
     Loki went quiet.
     "You betrayed my trust and more importantly renslayers trust in me. I've run out of sympathy for you and the tva has run out of use for you, therefore were taking you to be reset or maybe erased."
     As soon as mobius said erased loki took out both guards in one swift motion knocking both of them out with his bare fists. Mobius stepped away from the guards limp bodies and started to back away. Then loki turned towards him. He looked terrified, loki assumed it was because tva beurocrats didn't have the same martial art type training that the armored minutemen did. He had to be careful.
     "Mobius look I know you have no reason to trust me but I'm going to need you to try ok"
     Being completely defenseless Mobius fumbled around in his pocket for the timetwister remote until loki held it up in one of his hands having stolen it while he was apprehending the guards.
     "You and all of the tva were once variants just like me and sylvie, they seem to have brainwashed to hypnotized you somehow but mobius," loki started to walk towers him. "I can help you, I can show you who you once were. Your glorious purpose before the tva."
     Mobius was speechless and horrified being completely alone in a hallway with possibly the second most dangerous variant in time history inching closer to him. But also from what loki was saying. Could all of the tva really just be kidnapped variants? He panicked and picked up one of the pruning sticks from the unconscious minutemen and aimed it at loki, who hesitated then continued to walk closer.
     "On Lamentis sylvie showed me a spell, I can go into your mind and fish out your memories before the tva"
     "Alright loki stop".
     "Mobius listen"
     "I'm tired of your tricks you expect me to just let you into my mind after what you've done to me? To my job? You know how much the tva means to me this is my life."
     "But it's not mobius you were a varient once like me, kidnapped and tricked into thinking you've worked here your entire life without knowing it but-" loki started moving again "-I can show you" he reached his hands out aiming at mobius' head.
     "Loki stay back im warning you" Mobius stuttered.
     "I can help you mobius I can set you free from all this just please let me show you."
     "Loki stop!" mobius full on yelled.
     "I can show you your life before all this if I can just-"
     Inches away from his temple mobius finally snapped and turned the pruning stick on in defense. It lit up with a crackling noise and started glowing bright orange. Loki lept back in fear and froze.
     "Mobius...?"
      Mobius was shaking.
     "Loki I warned you now don't come any closer"
     "Mobius you have to listen to me"
     "No loki you have to listen to me. I trusted you. Wrongfully so, which I'm now realizing."    
     He faked laugher when he said this and loki thought he saw a tear escape his eye.
     "I'm sorry." loki muttered.
     Mobius looked dead at loki and began to walk towards him, slowly at first and with the tip of the pruning stick aimed at lokis upper torso.
     "You're sorry? Loki you're sorry?? Sorry doesn't bring back the countnless units of minutemen we've lost because of you and that other loki variant. Sorry doesn't restore the sacred timeline. Sorry doesn't restore my trust in you after being betrayed again and again and again. You expect me to forgive you loki? Honestly?"
     As mobius inched closer with malicious intent loki began to stumble backwards nearing a dead end to the hallway they were in.
     "Look mobius I know I haven't been entirely honest with you but I'm going going need you to put that down."
     Loki was aware that mobius didn't have the same type of training the other minutemen had and he figured he could apprehend him for just a second. Just long enough to get his hands on his forehead.
     "Not entirely honest? Loki listen to yourself. You call that being not entirely honest? For fucks sake why did I think i could change you? Now look at me seconds away from pruning the closest I've ever come to actually loving someone. I knew ravonna was right about not trusting the variants. And specifically not falling in love with them. Now im stuck with nothing but a broken heart and a broken god"
     Loki was now fully pressed aginst the end of the hallway and the pruning stick was mere inches from his chest. He was shocked. He thought about what mobius had said while trying not to take offense to being called broken and looked up at him. He was crying, the hand holding the pruning stick was shaking.
     Loki sighed and lightly moved the stick away from his face with the back of his hand. Mobius dropped it looking down at the ground and continued to sob.
     "I'm sorry loki I didn't mean to say that. You're not broken you're just hurt like the rest of us."
     Loki stepped forward and embraced mobius in a hug. Mobius was suprised at the gesture but it certainly made him shut up. Having studied every second of lokis life he knew he wasn't a hugger.
     "I'm sorry mobius"
     Mobius nearly broke down on his knees. He hugged loki so tightly that if he wasn't a God he'd probably suffocate. Mobius noticed how cold yet soothing lokis body was as he cried into his shoulder. Loki teared up as well, clinging tightly onto his back and looking at the ground.
     Once loki pulled away they both looked at each others puffy faces. Their hair clung to the sides of their heads from sweat and both of their noses were still running and bright red. They looked ridiculous. Looking into his eyes loki saw this as a monet to finally show mobius his memories. He reached up and cupped mobius' face in his hands preparing the spell when mobius put his hands over lokis and leaned forward, connecting their lips.
     The kiss was soft and passionate. They could both tell they had been waiting for this for a long time. Loki noticed how mobius' mustache tickled his upper lip and how warm mobius' hands were on top of his half jotun ones.
     After a few seconds they pulled away from each other and loki swore he could see stars as he stared into mobius' teary blue eyes. Mobius removed his hands from lokis and smiled.
     "May i?" Loki asked referring to the spell he was going going to cast.
     "Is going to hurt?"
     "Not physically no." He recalled the mental scarring sylvie told him hunter c-20 had.
Mobius looked down.
     "Ok"
     Loki tilted his head back up by his chin.
     "Ok"
     Mobius smiled as his eyes started to glow emerald green.
