Night Shifts and Kisses

Tears

„So let me get this straight. You had the chance that the man you are in love with finds out that you like him but instead you ran away? And now HE thinks that you like Thor cause you left just as he showed up?" Brunnhilde stared at Loki like he was the stupidest person she ever met. To be fair he probably was.

„If you say it like that is really sounds bad" he replied weakly and looked down ashamed. „Of course it sounds bad Loki! You are an utter idiot! Its so obvious he likes you too and you have nothing better to do than run away! I mean the worst that could happen is him saying I don't like you we should be friends"

The more she scolded him the more Loki felt ashamed. He knew that his roommate was right and he kind of hated it.

„I have to agree with her sweetheart" His mothers voice came from the kitchen. Frigga slowly came out of the kitchen with Lokis favorite snack and a glass of wine for the tree of them.

„Please not you too Mother I already hear enough of this from Okoye and the Twins at work and now after what happened I probably will never hear the end of it" Loki groaned before taking a big sip from the wine. Both Brunnhilde and Frigga shared a annoyed look before hitting Loki at the back of the head at the same time.

„You whine to much. Can't you see that we all just want to see you happy? Stop being scared and finally go to him and confess!" Loki knew his mother was right but he couldn't get rid of his fear that Mobius might not feel the same.

„ Fine i will tell him the next time I see him..." he trailed off and smiled at how Happy both his Mother and Brunnhilde looked.

The rest of his free days Loki thought about how he could tell Mobius how he felt but no matter what he couldn't find the right words. To say he was frustrated and tried by the time he walked into work was an understatement.

The whole day Loki waited for Mobius to show up but he never came. That made everyone notice that something was wrong. He kept trying to run into the Doctor to a point Loki thought that maybe Mobius was just extremely busy that day.

Then he finally saw Mobius in the hallways. He started to smile and wave at him but the other man took one look at Loki and turned the other way not looking back.

He really tried to hold his tears in right there because he realized that Mobius wasn't just busy like he first thought but rather he was ignoring Loki.

„Oh the hell you won't" Loki whispered to himself before setting into a sprint to catch up with Mobius. Once he finally did he grabbed his arm and looked him in the eyes. „I need to talk to you. Alone" without saying anything he dragged Mobius back to the Nurses Office and pulled him inside.

Wanda and Okoye looked up at him and Mobius but without missing a beat he looked at them and said firmly: „Please leave us alone me and Mobius have to talk about some things in private"

He felt Mobius stare at him but he really didn't care.

Once the two nurses left he turned and looked at Mobius still holding his arm in an attempt to ground himself. „Why were you ignoring me and tried to run away?"

Of all the reactions he expected, Mobius laughter wasn't one of them.

„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 us."

„Best for us? Do you actually believe that I walked out because I have feelings for Th-„ Loki couldn't finish his question. Not after Mobius pulled his arm out of his grip and interrupted 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."

Loki felt as if those words burned his heart and ripped it apart. He didn't care anymore that Mobius could see the tears that formed in his eyes. He felt like dying while uttering the next words to Mobius.

„Fine if that's what you really want lets do this" as fast as he can he gets to the door but before he can leave he turn around one last time to look over at Mobius.

„But just so you know Mobius, I never liked Thor not even for a single second" he knew it didn't matter but he felt like he needed Mobius to know.

He left not even a moment later tears streaming down his face.
