Loki's point of view:

I was awoken by the sound of a frying pan and a pain in my neck. As I reached my hand to my neck I slowly sat up glancing around. Confusing. I was no longer in the guest bedroom, I was on the sofa. Looking around, I spotted Mobius in the kitchen, when he saw me looking he smiled, "Ah you're awake!" He exclaimed.

I winced from the pain in my neck and then said, "Why am I on the sofa?" I asked, my voice slightly hoarse and scratchy. With wobbly legs, I got up and began walked over and into the kitchen where Mobius stood.

Mobius furrowed his eyebrows, "You can down here last night remember? We chatted a bit outside then we came back in and we fell asleep on the sofa." He clarified.

I nodded slowly remembering last night. However, I winced again when I felt an ache in my neck, "Why does my neck hurt so much then?" I groaned.

Mobius flipped something over in the pan, "Well when I woke up your head was in my shoulder, awkward angle, you know. And then when I began making breakfast I had to lay your head down on the arm of the chair. That's probably why." He told me and he put somethings on a plate. He pushed the plate towards me, "Here you go!" He smiled. "Bacon and pancakes.

I scowled slightly, "Bacon?... and pancakes?" I asked, disgusted.

He crossed his arms, "Do you not like bacon and pancakes?" He asked astounded.

I looked down at the plate, "I've never tried them. It's just a... strange combination." I explained.

Mobius put some on his plate as well, "Exactly. Just try them." He smiled walking out of the kitchen towards the dining table.

"I'll try them." I laughed sitting down opposite him.

Mobius began eating immediately whereas I was a tad more hesitant. But eventually I took a bite. I smiled. Mobius smiled, "Good, right?"

I finished chewing, "I don't know how, but yes." I said in complete and utter shock. "The sweetness really compliments the saltiness."

Mobius laughed, "I told you so. I am never wrong." He joked.

We both finished off the pancakes and he got up from his chair, "Come on. We need to get you some clothes." He smiled taking a hat from the coat rack and placing it on his head.

I looked myself up and down, "Like this?" I asked. My shirt was creased beyond oblivion and my trousers were covered in dust from my car.

"Just throw on one of my long coats and you'll be fine." He gestured towards the coat rack as he made his way to the door.

I followed him grabbing a coat and putting it on over my atrocious outfit. I ran a hand through my hair, which I couldn't exactly do and decided to grab a hat as well.

Once I was out the door Mobius looked at me, "You suit that hat more than I do." He laughed. "Right, its only a ten minute walk into town. We'll stop at Macy's and pick you up a few things. Then we'll head to Tom's diner to grab some lunch and ask about a job. That sound good?" He asked and began walking through the path that separated the dense forest.

As I followed behind him trying to keep up I said, "Yes. That sounds perfect."

We walked but not for long and Mobius would point at everything to tell me about it. He told me about a few different people and also all of their marital status's. Strange.

Finally, we reached the shop and Mobius lead me inside. "Right, men's is on the second floor. Follow me." He said as he weaved through the various clothing racks and eventually reaching a set of stairs.

We ascended the stairs quickly and Mobius lead me to the first rack. "Right, right..." he mumbled as he looked through the various shirts, "Ah ha!" He pulled out a creams coloured long sleeve shirt. "What do you think?"

I crossed my arms, "It's a bit... outdated." I said.

Mobius rolled his eyes, "Yeah well you're from the future. Hold this." He pushed the shirt towards me.

Unwillingly, I grabbed it and followed him as he confused walking. He was now looking through lots of trousers and then he pulled a pair out, "How do you feel about these?" He held up a brown pair of trousers.

I nodded, "They would go well with the shirt." I said dryly not knowing what else to say.

"I know, that's why I picked them." He said.

When I say 'we shopped' I actually mean Mobius shopped for me and I held the clothes. We were looking around for quite a while until Mobius stopped me. "Okay, lets get you a suit now." He walked off.

"A suit?" I asked quickly as I followed him, "What would I need a suit for?"

Mobius shrugged and then turned his back on the blazers to look at me, "What if we get invited to a dinner?" He asked.

"A dinner? I'm not even going to be here this long. No one here knows me, why would I get invited to a dinner?" I narrowed my eyes.

"Well if you get the job in the diner, everyone will know you. Better safe then sorry. Also, everyone needs a suit regardless. Besides I can imagine you would really suit one." He said picking out clothes from the racks. "Okay go and try these on." He handed me a white shirt, black blazer, a pair of back trousers and a bow tie.

"Okay." I handed him the other clothes as I took the suit and made my way into the fitting rooms.

After getting changed, I looked at the outfit in the mirror for a few seconds before opening the curtain.

I saw Mobius looking at me hopefully. "What do you think?" I asked.

He grinned, "Just like I said, you suit it." (A/N: there was no pun intended there)

"Sure I do." I rolled my eyes slowly drawing the curtain back.

"Like I said, I am never wrong." Mobius laughed. I closed the curtain as he confused speaking, "Take that off then we will go pay and then get some lunch it's already one o'clock."
