Trapped in heaven ~ lokius

Chapter 14- Final

Loki's point of view (some years later):

My time as a time travel agent was finally over, I was now left with a machine and a need to settle down. I knew exactly where I should go.

I knew I couldn't go back to the exact time I left Mobius as that would cause a multitude of inter-demential problems so I had to settle for a decade later. I prayed to any higher power that Mobius had waited for me.

When me machine stopped I stepped outside to see the same forest, however this time the leaves had fallen and the sky was a tad greyer. I turned my head to see the same wooden cottage that had stood their and smiled. It looked like it had gone into slight disrepair but there was still the same warm glow of a fire coming from inside.

Relief and joy filled every part of my body - he had waited for me.

I sprinted to the door and knocked at it and was overjoyed seeing the figure of Mobius coming to the door. The door opened and- Tom?

He looked older now, much more frail. The years had really taken their toll on him. His face filled with rage, "Loki. What are you doing here?"

"Is Mobius here?" I asked full to the brim with hope.

His face softened into a sad expression, "I think you should come in. He opened the door to let me in and I did. "Sit down." He ordered and I followed what he told me. "Biscuit?" He offered opening a box and placing it on the table.

"Oh no thank you." I shook my head. "So where's Mobius?" I asked still gripping onto an inch of hope.

"Loki he's-" Tom stopped himself. "After you left to do god knows what, Mobius never told me, he plummeted. Resorted to alcohol and never went out. I can round a few times but he never socialised and just ignored me. I ended up living here : cooking his meals, leaning his house, helping him dress. Everything. He had stopped doing anything."

He sucked in a breath.

"One day, I woke up and noticed my van had disappeared of the grass patch." He said. He paused for a moment his eyes swelling up and a single tear dropped down his cheek, "He- he drove himself off a cliff Loki."

I wept, something I hadn't done since I had to leave him. "He's- he's gone?" Tom nodded. "How could I of been so stupid!" I Hauses hitting my hand on the sofa that I had once sat on with Mobius resting his head on my shoulder.

"Are you okay Loki?" Tom asked.

I had no words. No war to express my emotion other than, "Is his record player still here?" I asked softly and played with the buckle of my satchel.

Tom solemnly nodded, "Yes."

I opened my satchel and pulled out the record that I had carried with me for forever, still in perfect condition.

I got up and walked over to the record player as Tom shot me a quizzical glance. Gently, I placed the record on the record player and it began to spin. The quiet hum of music filled the room.

Quickly I rushed over to my satchel and pulled out the photo of Mobius. I hugged to picture gram against my chest as the song began.

I swayed with him, danced with him, like we had once before. I cried and cried and cried. Before, I would of called this ridiculous but now I didn't think it was enough sorrow.

As the chorus began mg heart began to hurt. My body went weak and I had to lower myself to the floor. Eventually my breathing stopped.

Black.

I died with the photo of Mobius still in my arms and the soft hum of our song playing in the background. Tom buried me right next to Mobius' grave.

We were together once more.
