Mobius exited Judge Renslayers office at the TVA. Loki was sitting outside the door and Mobius glanced at him. Loki looked at him expectantly. "We're good to go," Mobius said with a smile. Mobius was ecstatic because he had just gotten Loki approved to work with him on this mission to find the missing variant. This meant that all day everyday they were working together to find and capture this variant of Loki.
Mobius and Loki had learned to trust each other in the mere few days (they think because time is different in the TVA) and Mobius would do almost anything for time with his "friend". Loki was tall and lanky with shoulder length jet black hair. He wore pants and a pretty tight shirt with his "Variant" jacket the TVA issued to him. Mobius wasn't tall but was not considerably short either, with short gray hair. He wore a brown suit with his tie loose around his neck. He had made it a point to wear his tie loose the past few days in the case that Loki might try to fix it again the way he had days earlier.
Loki quickly hopped up from his seat and followed Mobius down the hall. Loki jogged to catch up with him as they rounded the corner. He was excited. He would never say it out loud but he loved to spend time with Mobius. He was just easy, and he understood. He listens and doesn't question him, which is Lokis favorite thing about him. The were walking quickly side by side now.
"How'd it go?" Loki asked finally.
"It took a bit of prying but she finally gave in," he replied. "I suggest that you stay in line though because if anything goes wrong she'll be on our asses about it," he added.
Loki simply nodded. He wasn't sure where they were going honestly but he was slightly hungry as it was about dinner time. He followed Mobius down the hall and into the cafeteria. Mobius got his usual salad while Loki got some sort of sandwich he really liked. They sat down at a table together. Loki's long legs caused their feet to collide under the table. As that happened they both immediately made eye contact but then glanced away fast. Loki watched as Mobius ate his salad while reading a magazine he picked up on the way. He took notice of Mobius' poorly fastened tie and made a mental note that he would never learn to keep it tight. He had a nice build besides his small beer belly, but Loki didn't care.
"Take a picture it will last longer," Mobius said, a smirk dancing on his lips while Loki was snapped out of his trance. His face was almost purple with embarrassment for having been caught staring at the agent.
"Everything okay there God of Mischief?" Mobius said raising his eyebrows. "You look a bit flushed," he added stifling his laugh.
"I'm fine, thank you. I was just thinking," he said before clearing his throat nervously.
Mobius was about to say some smart remark but decided not to push it any further. they ate in silence for a few more minutes. Finally he stood up as Loki mimicked his actions. Mobius walked with Loki to his brand new apartment that was given to him this morning. At Loki's door they both stood outside for a second.
"Well, I'll see you in the morning, bright and early," Mobius said with a grin remembering that their work started tomorrow.
Loki and the TVA agent reached for each other's ties simultaneously and quickly tightened them, their armes touching in the process. Both their faces darkened in color as they stared at the ground.
"Night Mobius," Loki said as he opened the door to his apartment room.
"Night Loki," Mobius replied softly as he started toward his room.
