Glorious purpose [lokius]

X|- its for the best

Loki's pov:

I see myself in a body, that would have been my body if i weren't in the past. I'm now in the future, well, my present.

"Okay, we'll go here, and save he who remains, got it?" Sylvie says, pointing to a time door

"Huh?" I say, as if shes using this complicated language

"Ugh, listen. We go back to he who remains, before i kill him, and i'll stop myself, the only person past me would listen to is now me. Got it?"

"Yeah. Okay, so--" then i pause, what's about to happen is what i just saw. Should i warn her that we're like fifteen minutes past that?

"What Loki?" She says, desperate to get this over-with

"Oh, nothing. Never mind." I say. I guess this is meant to happen if i saw it.

Sylvie walks through the time door, with a pruning stick by her side. I'm too scared to go in, what will she think.

I look behind me, thinking it was just me and sylvie, but the rest of the crew are behind us. I'm not sure what made me think it was just me and sylvie, i'm so confused.

"Hey, you okay? I saw you doing the time-slippy thing again." Mobius says, behind me with his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah yeah, just fine. Thanks." I reply. How am i supposed to look at him the same after knowing he likes me like that. Or at least used to. Wait, did i change things? Is everything different?

"Okay. Just tell me if you need anything, okay?" He says, in a reassuring voice.
He leans in closer and i reseive the most delicate peck on the cheek.

What the fuck.

Are we together? After what happened, after we got pruned, did we find each other, make it back to the tva, and to the same thing..but as boyfriends?

I'm left there. Flustered. I can feel my face getting warmer by the second, but i can't show it. Thats weird, and so not me. Or is it?

"Aren't 'cha gonna follow her?" He says

"Oh right, yes, of course."

I walk into the bright orange time door, and sylvies in-front of the rotting corps of he who remains.

"We were too late. Let's go to when we were about to enter." Sylvie says.

She then turns around and see's the place just before me and mobius were. And then i realise, that this changes everything. Me and mobius are together. Like, that's massive. And we were just sitting there, the daggers still there covered in fresh blood.

"So is this where this whole thing started then?" Sylvie says, still looking at the spot.

"I think so. I don't know." I'm still frozen by the fact that mobius likes me.

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"I just don't."

"Are you alright? You're acting strange.."

"Yeah yeah, just fine."

This can't happen. Me and mobius. I've fallen so deeply in love with him. But i don't want to be together like this, with a living past i don't even know. I need to break up with him in a way that's more painful for me.

Everything starts turning into spaghetti. As if, this version of things its fading out of existence, like the universe knows my decision.

"Loki it's happening again.." sylvie says.

She opens a time door and walks towards it.

"You coming?" She says to me

"I'll see you soon." I say, just as i'm about to time slip to before me and sylvie went into he who remains' place.

I'm now back. Infront of allioth, who's distracted by classic me. I go and i help sylvie, and before i know it, theres a clear path leading us to the castle at the end of time.

Sylvie walks through, and i go over to mobius.

"Mobius, go back to the tva and sort things with ravona. Please. I think this is a loki thing, no offence." I say, with a grin on my face. I try hard not to cry.

"Okay." He smiles and nods at me and opens his arm for a hug

I hug him tightly, and just as he's about to walk through, he says:

"Don't die, alright?"

"Trust me, i won't." We both smile and wave our goodbyes. I join sylvie and we both walk towards the door.

I've lived this millions of times, its getting boring. The miss minutes jumpscare. The apple eating. Whatever. I'm here to stop me and mobius' relationship. He's not here, so technically i can timeslip out of here. But then theres an 100% chance he who remains'll get killed. I know what to do about me and mobius, and then i think about how i'll get sylvie to not kill he who remains this time.

And then i remember, when i was in my present, one of us came up with the idea to bring sylvie to her past self to get herself to stop. I want to take credit for that idea so badly, because its genius. Sylvie was right when she said the only person that she could trust was herself.

Before i know it, we're sat down. This is like a little two minute break for me. But i need to get this over with and i need to get my present sylvie here, its the perfect way.

I get up from my chair and move it back my about five meters.

"Loki what are you doing?" Sylvie asks

"Trying to get this killing thing over with."

"Then kill him? Actually no, i wanna do it. How'd you know i wanted to do it?" Sylvie says

I remember that she doesn't actually know i don't want to kill him. She thinks i want to kill him.

"Just go on."

He who remains looks at me and waves goodbye to me. Whenever i remember how boring it is for me to live through this millions of times just to change the future, i remember that he's also doing it with me.

Sylvie slashes him, and sits badk down next to me.

"Happy?"

"Yeah, sure. I guess. Wait, kick me through a time door." I say

"Why?" She says, concerned

"Just do it. Back to the tva. And don't follow me, go to midgard, theres this wonderfull place called mcdonalds. Specifically in england. Get a life there. "

"Uhh..okay?"

She opens the time door and i walk through it to end up in the place i had previously been kicked in multiple times. I then do exactly what i had planned.

I'm going to go to my present, and convince sylvie to do this.
