I was walking back to the table where Loki and Mobius were in the cafeteria, carrying a couple of drinks for me and Loki. He was explaining what he found in the files to Mobius, explaining his theory of how the female Loki was hiding in apocalypses or in cases of major civilisation destruction aka doomsday. I chuckle at how Loki was so enthusiastic about his theory, thinking he was right while he messed up Mobius' salad.
He's so cute.
I coo softly and Loki looks up at me, his ears turning pink as he heard me. I pass him a drink as I sit down next to him, still pouring salt and pepper into the ruined salad.
"Okay, look, you don't trust me, you can trust one thing. I love to be right."
"That's very true Mobius." I swirl the soft drink in the can and he nods.
"Well, let's get to it then. Great job you two."
"Technically, you figured it out." I whisper to Loki as we get up to follow Mobius. He grins at me, leaning down to hold my hand and I feel butterflies in my stomach.
How the fuck does one simple action cause me to feel like this!?
Mobius goes to gear up as Loki and I wait for him in the lobby, leaning my back against a wall. I pull him close over my body and he smirks at me as he leans close to my face.
"Someone is feeling frisky." I roll my eyes but I knew I was blushing as Loki leaned his arm over my head, his other hand holding my waist.
"I just need you to cover me from prying eyes so I can change." Loki raises a brow at me, peering over his shoulder.
"Well, it's all clear darling." I feel a sudden wave of heat wash over me, my cheeks blazing from the familiar nickname. Loki watches out for any guards or employees as my powers trail down my body to change my pj's into my combat boots, cargo pants and a simple loose shirt. Loki hums softly, brushing my hair back over my shoulder as he plays with his ring hanging on my necklace. "You're not wearing it..."
"I feel guilty about it plus it's a way to keep it close and make sure I don't lose it." Loki pulls the necklace off me and takes the ring off, taking my hand to slip the ring on it.
"Mother really did have an eye for jewellery and an eye for those who deserved them." Loki kisses the back of my hand while looking at me and I know I was red yet again.
"That's bullshit. I couldn't even stop TVA from killing your people."
"Actually," Loki takes out a folded piece of paper from his pocket to reveal an event inquiry sheet for the destruction of Asgard. "The casualties is 0."
"What!?" I take the paper from his hands to see if he was bluffing and he wasn't. "'The destruction of Asgard commenced after (y/f/n) rescued and saved the entire realms civilians.' Holy shit they all survived! The TVA didn't reset it!" I grin up at Loki, noticing a soft smile on his face.
"I am eternally grateful that you saved my people (y/n). Thank you." he kisses my forehead and I bubble with happiness. Loki suddenly steps away from me and stands next to me as Mobius comes back, his brows raised.
He didn't catch us did he?
"When did you change?"
"When you left. I ain't going out in my PJ's!"
"Fair enough."

"Here we go."
"Shh, any minute now." I raise a brow at the two men standing in front of me. It really was one person, two moods here. Loki was brimming with excitable chaotic energy whereas Mobius was full-blown anxious.
"Oh, come on! It's cool." Loki was literally giddy and I snicker.
Why is he so damn cute!?
"No, it is cool, but it's just not in good taste because..."
"They're all going to die anyway Mobius." I shrug and Mobius explains his plan. Loki just shushes Mobius and looks at me, getting our own plan ready. I take my phone out, playing Pompeii and Loki runs out as I blast out the song. Mobius just sighs in disappointment as Loki yells out in a different language that everyone was going to die while I belted out the lyrics to the song.
"We were caught up and lost in all of our vices, in your pose as the dust settled around us."
"And the walls kept tumbling down, in the city that we love."
Loki jumps down from the wooden carriage and grabs my hand to pull me into the crowd as the volcanoes suddenly erupts.
"Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above."
"But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?"
"Loki what-" I gasp as he suddenly spins me around beneath his arm, completely ignoring the cloud of dark grey ash billowing behind us as the people run away.
"And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?"
"How am I gonna be an optimist about this?"
I laugh out in happiness as Loki dips me, holding my waist. He smiles down at me, a glint in his eyes and I hear Mobius tell us to stop messing around. Loki quickly places a kiss on my cheek and I gasp, making sure Mobius wasn't looking and sure enough, he wasn't as he walked through the gateway.
"Ok let's go before we end up being burned to ash by the lava."
"Good idea." Loki stands me back up on my feet and we run through the gateway, coughing from the ash that followed us as it closed just before we could be submerged in the grey fog. Loki takes my hand again, pulling me along quickly as Mobius literally starts speed walking.
"Doomsdays. The Variant's been ambushing our soldiers and hiding out in doomsdays to cover his tracks."
"You're welcome." Loki says as we head to the library again to grab files on all possible doomsday disasters.
"Yeah. For this theory to hold, the disasters have to be naturally occurring, sudden, no warning, no survivors."
"How many could there be?"
"Too many Loki, this is humanity we are talking about." I sigh out. Mobius goes off to wherever he goes and Loki and I go to grab the files. We sit down on a couch, going through every doomsday to count.
"This is absolute torture." Loki groans out as he leans his head back against the couch and I just shrug, continuing to read. "(y/n)..." he whines out my name, trying to get my attention and I just ignore him. I bite back my smile as I feel Loki poke my arm over and over before I feel him lay his head in my lap. He knocks on the file I was reading and moves it so he could look up at me.
"I knew you had a short attention span but already? It's been barely 10 minutes." I chuckle as Loki just grins up at me. I let him play with my chains on my cargo pants as I do all the work for him, threading my fingers through his hair. Time goes by for a bit and I realise that Loki hasn't said anything for a long while, looking down to see that he had actually fallen asleep in my lap.
Awe this baby.
I coo softly as he yawns and turns in my lap, snuggling against my stomach as he hugged my waist. I brush his hair back softly, caressing his cheek before going back to reading. I don't know how much time had gone by but I knew I was getting tired as the words started to blend together.
I yawn out tiredly, tears pricking my eyes as I was close to slamming my head on the coffee table. I was slowly nodding off, my head bouncing but I quickly wake up again as I hear a whine below me. I look down at Loki, his brows furrowed as I had stopped running my fingers through his hair. I continue again as he hugs me tighter, leaning my head back against the couch.
Maybe a nap won't be too bad.
Loki groans out as I shift to lay down on the couch to get comfortable and he wakes up. He yawns out and climbs over me to sleep on my chest, wrapping his arms around my waist again to hold me tightly. I close my eyes to fall asleep, rubbing Lokis back as I brush his hair back gently.
