Trapped in heaven ~ lokius

Chapter 13- You cant

Loki's point of view:

Laying down in a bed with Mobius' arm wrapped around me was something I enjoyed more than anything in the world. Simple pleasers I suppose. His forehead was pressed against the side of my torso and he was lightly snoring.

I stared up into the dark nothingness where the ceiling was supposed to be and just pondered. I was going to hurt him, I knew that ; leaving was going to hurt me as well though.

Only a few weeks I had known Mobius, however it felt like a lifetime and I wished it could be a lifetime. Slipping my head from under the covers I held it up to his face, gently tracing his : cheeks, nose and lips with my finger.

Much to my despise, I was quickly interrupted by a loud beep from my watch. I panicked and quickly retracted my hand from his face and got out of the bed. I frantically rushed out his bedroom and into my own holding my watch up.

I answered the communication.

"Loki." The Controller said blankly as her hologram appeared.

"Yes Controller. Is everything alright? It's quite late where I am now." Everywhere was pitch black and the only light source was her faintly blue hologram.

"How has repairing your machine come along?" She asked folding her arms and creasing her face.

"Ah." I said faintly, "Well I only started my job today. I don't know when I'll get my first pay check, it may be a few weeks or months before it's fixed. But it will be soon I promise."

She sighed, "Okay we're coming to get you. We cant have you out of the field for this long. Time lines are crumbling."

My heart sunk to my feat and my head was cleared of any other thoughts than despair. I almost choked on air and my mouth became dry. "...What?" I let out a whisper.

"You heard me," she snapped, "gather your things. We'll be here in roughly 8 minutes. Don't worry about the machine, we can get you a new one."

Even though my knees had gone weak I stood p from my bed anyway, "No! I cant leave Mobius, I cant!" I tried not to shout, not to wake Mobius up but I couldn't help it.

"This is what I was worried about." She rolled her eyes, "It will be fine, he's just a normal human. You can find a replica of his type anywhere."

"You heartless bitch!" I exclaimed. "I... you should be ashamed!"

"Yeah yeah yeah, now get your shit together, you've got six minutes forty five." She tapped on her watch.

"No! I'm not going!" I yelled.

"Sure you aren't." She sighed, "Get your stuff, bye."

And suddenly her hologram was gone, I was distraught.

I got up and ran back to Mobius. When I opened the door the bedside lamp was on and he was staring at me with disheartened eyes. "You have to go?"

I held out my hands as I rushed over to sit next to him, "I don't want to, they're making me do this." Tears formed in my eyes.

"I see." Mobius remained calm. "I didn't expect it to be so soon." His voice cracked and his eyes filled with tears too. "Will you ever come back?"

I leaned my forehead against his and quickly kissed the top of his nose, "I want to say yes... but-"

"You cant." A tear ran down his cheek. A tear turned into tears and tears turned into sobbing. From both of us.

I pulled him in right and rested my head against his shoulder.

"How long have you got?" He asked.

I looked down at my watch, "four minutes."

He quickly kept from the bed grabbing my hand and the picture of him in uniform. He pulled me out the doors turning on some lamps and dragging me into the living room.

He pushed the photo frame against my chest, "Have this... to remember me." I took it and he quickly rushed over to his records and picked one up, "And this. Take good care of it."

I looked down at the record I held in my hand, "But... your mother gave you this." Tear drops splashed against the cover.

"I know. And now I give it to you, whenever you think of me... play it. Play our song." He said looking deep into my eyes. "You have been a wonderful experience Loki. You have brought me great joy and allowed me to feel love - an emotion I haven't felt in a while. I don't want you to ever get sad when you think of me. Think of all our good times ; lying by the fire, dancing together, our times at Tom's. I love you."

My words... had gone.

"Mobius I... behind here was like being trapped in heaven. I have never been able to have a close friend let alone a partner. A bond. You gave me that and I hope I gave the same in return. I cant promise it but I hope one day I can return here and live out my life with you. I don't want you to live a life of misery but if you could wait for me, no matter the year... I will come back for you. We could marry, if you want. Can you promise me that." I begged him.

It was unreasonable... I know. But if there was a chance he would never marry again and wait for me I would want that to happen.

"I promise Loki." He rested his hands against my hips, "No one will ever fulfil me like you."

Behind me I heard a swoosh and saw Mobius' eyes fill with surprise and despair. I turned around to see the Controller's face and some guards. "Come on now Loki, you've had your fun."

"I won't go!" I yelled in protest. Walking back and taking Mobius with me.

"Let's not be ridiculous Loki." He crossed her arms as she walked slowly towards me her guards not far behind. "Let's just go and no one gets hurt." She glared at Mobius.

I shifted my weight so that I was in front of Mobius. "Please!" I begged through tears. A guard put his hand roughly on my arm and so did the other. "No! Please! You cant- I- stop!"

The controller rolled her eyes, "Let's not be dramatic Loki. Get over with the tantrum and let's go."

The guards started pulling me back and I saw Mobius' face drop. "I love you Loki!" He yelled after me.

"I-" but I was taken through the time loop before I could tell him the rest, "-love you." I whispered and I got pushed into a car.

"See. That wasn't so bad was it." The controller smirked.

I towered over her, "I hope you die a slow and painful death. I hope your are cut limb from limb with a butter knife and bleed out for days until you well and truly die! You are cruel and you are sadistic!"

She cackled, "Oh my word, get over this now."

And the car started and we were off.
