Loki one-shots fanfiction ♡

54. sweet like honey

"What's that?" Loki asked, intrigued.

"This?" Mobius looked at him, a hint of knowing smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "Is what we call candy,"

In which Loki learned the wonder of sweets, and Mobius found himself tangled in the mess that might just be his own doing. To put it another way, a sugar addict (namely; Loki) was never easy to deal with.

Pairing: Loki/ Mobius M. Mobius

It started with a case they were working on, a normal case, nothing too complicated. It would've been another tedious task they forgot about within the next twenty-four hours, hadn't it been for Loki's eyes catching something in Mobius's hand. An evidence from the crime scene, which would've been ordinary. Until Loki shot the question.

"What's that?" He asked, intrigued.

"This?" Mobius looked at him, a hint of knowing smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "Is what we call candy,"

"Candy?" Loki tested the word on his tongue. He knew what a candy was, surely, because Mobius remembered, when they'd just started whatever this was that was the relationship between them, asking if there was candy on Asgard. And Loki had said, 'of course, grapes, nuts,' and Mobius had left it at that. Not without a 'no wonder why you're so bitter,' but that was it. The conversation about candies had never made a comeback again. Until now.

Until now that Mobius was holding one in his hand, one that appeared to be an evidence in the crime scene, by the victim's bed (but the 'evidence' itself was clean of any blood or other body fluid) and it happened to be different from the candies Loki knew.

Back in Asgard, there wasn't any candy like this. Back in Asgard, candies came in the forms of grapes and nuts. The candy in Mobius's hand, however, came in an oddly plastic-wrapped form, and the plastic was colorful, part of it was transparent, allowing Loki to see its content; candy. They were colorful, too. He saw red, green, blue, yellow and white, and they were all shaped like these tiny little...

"Gummy Bears," Mobius cut of his train of thought.

"Beg pardon?" Loki's eyes shifted up towards Mobius. It wasn't until now that he realized he'd been staring at the bag of Gummy Bear in Mobius's hand.

"These are Gummy Bears, to be more precise,"

Loki made a face that looked to Mobius like a confused puppy, and if Mobius thought it was adorable, he kept the thoughts only to himself as Loki cautiously took the item from Mobius's hand. Mobius let him, because the case was simple enough that it wouldn't affect anything at all, if a curious little pussycat were to mess with one item, from the scene, that really, was hardly an evidence at all. For all Mobius cared, it could've gotten lost or been thrown away, and it still wouldn't make any difference.

That still didn't mean Mobius excepted Loki to rip open to package and threw one in his mouth. Mobius opened his mouth then, about to protest but that was too late. "Damnit, Loki," he hissed, but he supposed it was... not a big deal. (He just had to try not to think too much that Loki was eating an evidence. It was... hardly anything at all)

Loki chewed as Mobius studied his face. He picked another bear, this one was green, meaning it was an apple flavor, and ate it.

"Well..." Mobius trailed off. He tried to predict what went on in Loki's head. He normally was able to read Loki, but not this time.

"It's... good," Loki said, nodding slightly to himself.

"Yeah?"

"It's good," he repeated, and Mobius tried to read what might've been lurking behind his eyes, the way they lit up and the way he chewed faster.
