Night Shifts and Kisses

Let's Pretend

Mobius knew what he was doing was bad but he couldn't bring himself to face the pain. He heard Thors foot steps behind him but he didn't stop. Without care he opened the door to the shared office and walked to his desk to collect the last of his papers. He Ignored the confused Looks of Bruce and Stephen when Thor ran into the room a second later walking up to Mobius like he would be killed any second.

„Mobi you misunderstood what happened, believe me I only came in at the worst timing he doesn't like me like that! The doctor he likes is Y-„

„SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP THOR AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" The room got quiet. None of the three doctors ever heard Mobius raise his voice or saw him this emotional no matter what happened. It was unsettling to see him like that.

„Just...Just let me get my stuff and go home I am tried" no one said something as Mobius got his files and left through the door. „Uhmmm do you mind sharing what this was about?" Thor looked over at Stephen and Bruce who Looked him frozen in shock.

„Okoye and the twins were hinting that Loki was interested in a Doctor and as I joined them Loki ran out and now he thinks Loki likes me and not Him." Stephen facepalmed while Bruce took his phone out and pressed speed dial which made Thor frown at him.

Before he could question Bruce the man held up a finger. „Hello? Yes hi its me Bruce Banner, Yes How are you doing Ravonna? Thats great...okay listen Mobius is going to come home soon and he is going to be very emotional..." Stephen smirked at Bruce knowing exactly what he has planned.

„...Ah no he wasn't Hurt well at least not physical...no no no He thinks Loki is in Love with Thor because of a misunderstanding...Yeah great just like I wanted...of course bye" with that the phone was hung up and Bruce looked at the other two Men.

„Ravonna knows and is going to make him open his damn eyes and YOU!" Bruce turned to Thor with a look of disappointment „stay away from Loki until all this disaster is over got it? Now I am going home to my Wonderful wife and tell her how thankful I am that we have our shit together"

Without waiting for a reply Bruce took his stuff and left.

„You really have the worst timing you know? He is right..."

„I DIDNT EVEN KNOW!" Stephen laughed at Thors outburst and together they also left work and went home.

As soon Mobius opened the door he knew he was in trouble. Ravonna stood in the Hallway with her arms crossed and glare directed at him. He would never admit it but he was damn scared of her when she did that.

He knew his roommate was harmless most of the time but as a Judge she knew how to read people and to stand her ground. „There you are. Imagine this I had a weird dream where Bruce Banner called me and told me that you are emotional cause you misunderstood a situation and think that your lover boy is in love with Thor. Can you imagine my surprise when I realized that this want a dream?"

Mobius flinched and looked at his roommate before slowly taking his jacket and shoes off. „I didn't misunderstood Ravonna Loki turned red exactly the second Thor was there and runs out not a second later" he was prepared for everything but not the laughing that filled his ears.

Ravonna had started laughing hysterically at Mobius words. She really cared for Mobius so when she first found out that he was crushing on a Nurse at the hospital she squeezed every information out of him he knew. She walked forward and pulled Mobius into the living room by his arm and sat down on the couch with him.

„Have you maybe considered that he got red cause the guy he liked listened to his friends tease him right in front of you and he ran off cause he was scared that you find out?"

„That sound so logical when you say it" Mobius hated when Ravonna was right and she knew and used it against him. „Of course it sound logical cause that's what has probably happened but you running off as well instead of simply asking him is wrong! The guy is probably feeling bad running off like that and finding you gone."

God how he wanted for her to be right but no matter how much he replayed the scene in his head there always was one result. Loki Laufeyson liked Thor Odinson. Ravonna noticed how his face turned sad again to a point where a simple tear rolled down her friends face.

„Oh Mobius why can't you simply believe that he is just as in love like you are with him?" Ravonna tried to wipe his tear away but more came and soon Mobius was a sobbing mess. Softly she changed their position and held her closest friend close while he cried.

She cursed the day Mobius met his ex Boyfriend. She remembered how the guy would say things that made Mobius doubt himself to a point where his confidence was basically non existent only to leave him broken and in so much pain.

Ravonna had to drag Mobius back up again and helped him regain some of his confidence back but some of the doubts still stayed with him. „You don't have to talk to him now Mobius but promise me that you will talk to him and throw away any doubt and fear you have„

„I promise I will once I get the courage" came his quiet voice from her arms. He would try and that was good enough for Ravonna.

Going back to work was torture. All Mobius wanted to do is go to the Nurses office like every time he went to work but he was scared. So he did the only logical thing for him to do, avoid Loki at all cost.

He nearly succeeded until he was walking back to his shared office and saw Loki coming closer in front of him. He saw how Loki lit up and sent him a smile and a small wave. Mobius started to panic so the only thing he could do was turn around and walk away. His brain was yelling at him how this is for the best, he wasn't ready to face Loki without dragging him into an empty room and kissing him senseless.

But his heart broke with each step he took.

He didn't saw how Lokis smile turned sad before collecting himself again and walking faster until he was running to catch up with Mobius.

Lost in his thoughts Mobius didn't noticed how Loki caught up with him and grabbed his arm to make him stop walking. Stoked at how firm Lokis grip was Mobius could only stop and stare at the Man in front of him.

„I need to talk to you. Alone." Thats all that Loki said before dragging Mobius into the Nurses office. Okoye and Wanda who were deep in conversation stopped to look at the new comers. „Please leave us alone me and Mobius have to talk about some things in private" the sheer confidence Lokis voice made Mobius stare but he didn't care.

Wanda and Okoye shared a knowing smile before walking out without questioning and closed the door behind them.

„Why were you ignoring me and tried to run away?" Mobius had to laugh at Lokis question. The whole situation seemed like a weird dream. „Because I am respecting your feelings as best as I can Loki. You may think its weird or rude but I am doing what is best for the best of us."

„Best for us? Do You actually believe that I walked out because I have feelings for Th-„ Mobius pulled his arm out of Lokis grip way to harshly than he intended and interrupted the other man without looking at him.

„Yes! Loki that's exactly what I believe. Its best for us if we pretend that I never heard the conversation and that any of this is happening! You don't owe me anything and neither do I owe you, so lets just forget and never talk again to save us both some trouble"

That was the wrong thing to say and Mobius knew the second he saw the tears in Lokis eyes.

„Fine if that's what you really want lets do this" He wanted to grab Lokis hand and apologize but Loki was already halfway out the door before Mobius could even react. „But just so you know Mobius, I never liked Thor not even for a single second" the only thing Mobius heard were the words replaying over and over in his head.

I never liked Thor not even for a single second.
