Loki laid wide awake, staring at the bedroom wall.

He hadn't slept at all last night. He couldn't stop having nightmares about his childhood, about when Odin was still alive. Odin never showed Loki any affection at all, nevers showed him any kindness besides bringing him into his home. He just ignored Loki, just treated him a little like a dog that followed him around everywhere. Not to mention how Odin would verbally flog him whenever Loki made a mistake. Loki had grown up afraid of the man he thought was supposed to love him more than anything. Oh, if only young Loki had known the truth back then, of why Odin treated him that way.

Now, Loki has a new problem. When he gets like this, he's had a tendency to regress. He'd never done that in front of Mobius before, though. He didn't know how Mobius would react.

"Loki? You okay, babe?" Mobius says softly, sweeping some of Loki's hair away from his beautiful porcelain face.

"I dreamt of Odin last night." Loki says quietly, squeezing his eyes shut. "I'm scared. I've never regressed in front of you. I don't want you to think I'm a freak..."

"I'd never think of you as a freak, honey. You're the most wonderful person I've ever met, and if you need to regress for a little while, then you do that. Give your precious mind a break, even if only for a few minutes. Let go, baby." Mobius says softly, holding Loki close. Loki sighed deeply, finally letting go.

"Thank you." Loki says softly, turning around to face Mobius.

"Do you want me to make you breakfast?" Mobius asks.

"Do we um...do we have any pancakes?" Loki asks.

"Of course , sweet boy." Mobius says, pressing a kiss to Loki's forehead. "I'll take care of you, baby."
