They stared into the mirror with panic stricken red eyes. Their skin turning cold and blue once more. They had no control over it, that's what they feared most. As the icey skin consumed their whole body, they sunk to the floor with tear stained cheeks. Hugging their legs and hiding their face, they sat there on the cold tile floor for hours, helplessly weeping. The eerie slow creak from the doors rusty hinges crept it's way into the almost silent atmosphere. There, Mobius found Loki curled into a ball on the floor, breathing heavily. Overwhelming worry washed over Mobius as he hurried to Loki's side, kneeling down next to them. Taking in Loki's state, he realized they were in their Jotun form, shivering and quietly sobbing. Mobius reached out a hand slowly, cautiously placing it on Loki's shoulder, a quiet, "Loki?" left his lips, barely even a whisper. Loki jolted up and scrambled away into the tub, startling Mobius. "Don't touch me! Get out!" Loki yelled with every ounce of venom in their voice they could muster, although their voice cracked slightly from the sobs. Mobius slowly stood up and took a step back. "Loki? It's ok, it's just me. What's going on?" Mobius said gently. Loki hid his face in his knees again. "Leave. I don't wanna be seen like- " he choked up, "like this." They mumbled out. Mobius took a risky step forward. "Why not? What's the issue?" He questioned softly. Loki looked over at Mobius. "Like this! Like a fucking monster! An unlovable, hideous, cold, vile monster!" Loki yelled as they slowly stood up and stepped out of the bathtub, angrily stalking closer to Mobius. Pity and sympathy washed over Mobius's features. "Loki, you are not a monster, you are not hideous or vile, and you are very worthy of love." He said genuinely, going to gently put his hands on Loki shoulders but Loki quickly smacked his hands away and stepped back. "I AM A MONSTER! LOOK AT ME! HOW COULD ANYONE LOVE A HIDEOUS, DISGUSTING FROST GIANT LIKE ME!?" Loki yelled, angrily stepping closer to Mobius again. Mobius grabbed their shoulders tightly. "Listen to me Loki! You are not a monster, I know you, you are none of the things you say you are!" Mobius said, raising his voice. Loki just growled and harshly shoved Mobius into the wall, their forearm pressed against his neck. "Liar! You're just saying that to calm me down so you can continue to use me just to catch that irritating variant!" Loki borderline hissed at him. Loki didn't realize how much pressure they were putting on Mobius neck out of rage. Mobius, struggling for breath, gently placed a hand on Loki's cheek. "I'm not lying to you. You are not a monster. I love you, Loki." Mobius said breathlessly before he started to pass out. Loki, shocked and confused, quickly stepped back, allowing Mobius to breathe again. Mobius collapsed to the floor, hunched over and clutching his chest as he struggled to get air back into his lungs. Loki looked down at him in shock and despair, realizing they almost killed not only their bestfriend, but also, the man who just confessed his love to them. "I-Im sorry, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry." Loki started chanting quietly in a daze as they backed away, sinking down against the tub, gripping their hair. Mobius coughed a few times as he stood up, walked over to Loki, and kneeled down in front of them. He gently grabbed their hands, making Loki jump slightly, and gently moved them away from their hair, holding them softly and looking into Loki's eyes. They just stared into each others eyes for a moment as Loki calmed down and steadied their breathing, Mobius rubbing his thumbs against Loki's hands, comfortingly. Once calmed, Mobius released one of Loki's hands to place his against their cheek, gently. Looking deep into their eyes, a small smile etched it's way onto Mobius's face. "Loki, you are not a monster, I don't care if I have to repeat it for the rest of my days, you are not what you think you are. You are beautiful and amazing, you're the most caring person I've ever met, even if you don't like to show it. I love you, Loki, with all my heart, no matter what form you're in." Mobius said, his eyes welling up with tears. Tears started to stream down Loki's face once again as they leaned forward, wrapping their arms around Mobius and hugging him tight as they buried their head into his shoulder. Sobbing, Loki chocked out, "I'm so sorry, I never meant to hurt you, I'm so sorry." Mobius gently rubbed their back and whispered in their ear, "You didn't hurt me, I'm alright." He said with a light chuckle and gently moved Loki off him, caressing their cheek again, he leaned in for a kiss. Loki closed the gap, although a little hesitant, and they shared a loving, gentle kiss. Pulling away with gentlevsmiles on their faces, Loki hugged Mobius again and whispered in his ear, "I love you too. And thank you... for everything."
