65. Once Upon a December

Mobius introduced Loki to the magic of Christmas.

///

Pairing: Loki/Mobius M. Mobius

Merry Christmas everyone!

"Do they celebrate Christmas on Asgard?" Mobius finally decided he'd humour Loki by breaking the silence, well... it wasn't entirely silence, since the atmosphere was filled with Deck the Halls playing softly, only loud enough that it was comforting. And of course, Mobius already knew the answer to that. He'd studied Loki, so it stood to reason why he knew they did not have Christmas on Asgard, for obvious reasons.

Loki shrugged. "We celebrate winters," he said, from where he'd been lounging like a lazy-but-alerted-and-curious house cat on Mobius's couch, their couch, while Mobius decorated the tree. "There were feasts, but not..."

"Not the tree, the dangly ornaments, the wreath, the movies, and oh how could I forgot gingerbread houses," Mobius finished Loki's sentence with a fond chuckle.

The hint of confusion on Loki's face only make the smile on Mobius's face widen, somewhat. 

If Mobius were to be honest, this wasn't what he'd expected at all, this life with Loki. It still felt... surreal to him, like he would wake up one day and all of it would be gone, only a dream he fantasied while under unconsciousness, then he'd be back at the TVA, catching Variants in the life that was chosen for him. But this was real and the TVA was behind him now, behind both of them.

After the TVA was no more, Mobius had thought, it was where he and Loki said goodbye for good. And they did; the farewell, the one-last-hug with one-last-longing-looks they gave each other. But after they'd walked their separate ways, Loki turned around and ran after him, calling his name and when Mobius turned around Loki was right in front of him. His eyes were teary. He was panting, and he'd said all that was in his chest; the 'I don't wanna let go. I can't lose you. I can't live without you.' And before Mobius knew what he was doing, his lips found Loki's. The kiss was violent, passionate, as if they were trying to make up for the lost time. Then it turned sweet and gentle, there was so much love, and they could finally stop hiding away their feelings.

Mobius couldn't go back to the pre-TVA life that was stolen from him, and Loki couldn't go back to the main timeline, where he came from, for that would mean doom for the both of them. But that wasn't a problem; cheating death, Loki had done it so many times he could easily help Mobius too, and he did. 

The Settle Down in a timeline that was out of both of their worlds, their realities. A simple life in a place where time wasn't real. An eternity with each other, which was almost too good to be true, but it was true. Mobius only had to have a kiss from his lover every morning to reassure him that this wasn't a dream, and Loki was more than happy to give Mobius that.

He crossed the space in the room and bent down to kiss Loki's forehead. "This will be fun," Mobius said. "I'm sure you'll like it,"

"Well..." Loki trailed off, "Pardon me for not fully being able to understand why having a huge tree --"

"A Christmas tree," Mobius corrected.

"...Why having a Christmas tree in the middle of our living room and adding some electric lights to it --"

"Christmas lights,"

"...Would be so much fun an activity," Loki finally finished.

Mobius chuckled some more and took a spot on the couch next to Loki, when the Mischievous Scamp moved up into sitting to make room for his boyfriend. "It's your first Christmas," he said. Loki looked at him sideway. "This will be a special night for us,"
