Work Text:
Today had been running pretty smoothly for the most part. Mobius got all the papers he needed to get done for Rennslayer today, hoping to get them signed off by tomorrow. It was around 8 pm roughly, meaning it was time for his coffee break. On his way to the cafeteria, he spotted Loki and Sylvie sitting together by the corner, legs entangled underneath the table. Mobius felt a pain in his heart. He has had feelings for Loki since they met, too afraid to say anything. Mobius would always think in his head There's no point in telling him, he would never like someone like me. Or He probably would rather be with someone his age, like Sylvie. No matter how hard it hurt him to say, he figured it was true.
As Mobius was about to grab his coffee he was stopped by a tap on his shoulder.
"Hey, I had a quick question?" Loki smiled down at Mobius.
"Yes?"
"I know you have paperwork to do and such, but is there anyway we could train today sometime, before you leave?" The question caught Mobius off guard. Usually Loki either trains with Sylvie or B-15, but he wanted to train with him. This made his heart skip a beat.
"Yea, sure. I have to ask though, why aren't you going to train with Sylvie?" I'm thinking way to into this. Mobius thought to himself.
"I just wanted to train with you I guess. You are the best after all. If you're too busy we don't have to train" Loki smiled lightly leaning over, grabbing a coffee for himself. Mobius took a sharp breath. Loki was so close to him, he could almost feel him.
"Yes, of course we can train. I'll meet you in the gym let's say 9:00pm?" Mobius said smiling, taking a sip of his coffee.
For the next hour, Mobius sat at his desk nervously. He hasn't trained with Loki for a long time. Mobius didn't know if being so close to Loki will cause any problems. Mobius sat up from his desk to go change into something more fitting for training. He grabbed a black standardized TVA tank top and shorts from his locker and made his way to the men's room. As soon as Mobius unbuttoned his shirt Loki walked through the door.
"Hey." Loki said red faced looking around the room trying to focus on something other than Mobius. Mobius turned around to see Loki. His eyes darted up to his chest fixating his focus on Mobius' well sculpted abs. Mobius smirked a Loki.
"As much as I like you looking, we have training to get to." Mobius joked.
"I, I wasn't l-looking." Loki stuttered looking away from the man in front.
"Sure, sure. When you're done changing I'll be waiting."
Once Loki finished changing he walked up to see Mobius stretching. Why is this doing something to me?
"Ah you made it." Mobius smiled grabbing a rag from the rail wiping off his face full of sweat. Loki made his way over the the bag on the door and grabbed a pair of thin gloves.
"So I thought we could start with some one-on-one combat. Since we haven't trained in a while let's see if you can pin me." Loki's face turned red crouching down in a ready stance.
Not even thirty seconds and Loki was pinned under Mobius.
"So, I think you could use some more practice." Mobius laughed pinning Loki's hands above his head. He and Loki stayed like this for what felt like hours. No one attempted to move away
"Your form is a little off-!" Mobius was cut off by being flipped on his back by Loki. He was now pinned under the God. Hands above his head.
"Don't get distracted. You taught me that." Loki smiled keeping one hand above Mobius' head and moving his other to Mobius' stomach. Loki started to stand up slowly, gliding his hand down to Mobius' groin, making him push is hips frontward without realizing. Loki smirked, pretending not to notice.
"Well this was fun, but I have to meet Sylvie in her apartment, I have to talk her about something." Loki said helping Mobius up. He cringed inside knowing that Loki would be alone with Sylvie, knowing Loki and Sylvie were planning on doing more than talking. The thought of it took over his judgment and overall mood.
"Yea, okay. You two have fun then." He said bitterly. Mobius' knows he has no reason to be jealous. Loki doesn't like him. Or does he? No, he couldn't. His thoughts were running a mile a minute.
"You okay, Mobius?" No, he wasn't, but he couldn't tell Loki that.
"Yes, I'm okay just tired. I'm a little out of shape as you can see." Mobius laughed.
"From what I saw, you're not 'out of shape'." Loki stopped talking after what he said.
"Huh, so you were looking! I mean I'm flattered, I took awhile to gain this muscle." he joked looking at Loki who was clearly embarrassed.
"I have to go meet Sylvie!" he shouted and left out the door quickly causing Mobius to laugh.
After a slow shower in the TVA locker rooms, Mobius made his way to his desk. 10pm already, Mobius thought surprised. Mobius grabbed his bag, placing his folders inside. Reached over and turned off his computer. He waved goodbye to his fellow co-workers, wishing them a good night. When he finally reached his apartment floor, he started to make his way to his room, but stop. He stopped right in front of Sylvie's room. He heard Loki laughed, but his heart stop after what followed...
"There's something I need to tell you." he heard Loki say to Sylvie.
"What is it Loki?" Sylvie asked.
"I like you, I've liked you for the longest time. I just didn't know to tell you." Mobius felt numb. Everything Loki had done, from light touches to flirty comments was just a joke to him. Mobius walked to his room, the pain in his heart was back once again.
It was around 11 pm when Mobius heard a knock on his door. He looked at the time surprised as to who it could be at this time at night. He put down the glass of whiskey he had been nursing for the past half hour. He opened the door the see Loki. He frowned at him.
"Loki it's 11 o'clock what do you want? Shouldn't you be with Sylvie?" he said bitterly
"Why would I be with Sylvie? I left her apartment a while ago." he laughed. Loki stopped thought after seeing Mobius' face. He wasn't amused.
"I just thought you'd spend the night with your girlfriend." Mobius scoffed. Loki Looked at him confused and laughed.
"My what? She and I aren't dating. What in the world gave you that idea?"
"Oh please, when I was walking today I overheard you tell Sylvie you like her." Mobius accused. Loki was stunned.
"Mobius, is that all you heard?" He questioned.
"Yes, that's all. What else would there be." He snapped.
"Let me inside and I'll show you, my powers work here, right?" Loki smiled slowly walking inside.
"Yes, they do." Mobius said confused
"Can I show you what happened?" Loki questioned.
"Sure, I guess so." he said quietly.
Loki sat Mobius down. Loki kneeled in front of him. He slowly rose his fingers to Mobius' temples allowing his magic to do the rest of the work.
"Sylvie I need your help!" Loki shouted walking to her apartment unannounced
"Its about Mobius, isn't it?" she teased
"Of course it is Sylvie. One minute were training, and the next he's on top of me. I didn't know what to do! I liked it Sylvie, too much if that! He's always on my mind and its crazy. I want to tell him, but I'm scared. What if he takes it as a joke! I'll look silly. I Just want him to know!" Loki ranted
"Here how about this. You pretend I'm Mobius, okay? Say to me what you want to say to him. Try to be confident about it." She laughed
"Okay okay I'll try.." He began
"There's something I need to tell you." Loki said .
"What is it, Loki?" She questioned.
"I like you, I've liked you for the longest time. I just didn't know to tell you." Loki admitted shyly
"That's perfect!" Sylvie smiled.
Loki slowly moved his fingers from Mobius' temples. The gray-haired man sat in silence, shock and embarrassment.
"I was practicing for when I would tell you, which is the reason why I came over so late." Loki sighed
"I'm really sorry, Loki. I've liked you since the minute you arrived. You hanging around Sylvie made me really jealous." Mobius admitted shamefully. Loki sat down beside Mobius, lifting up his chin.
"It was never her who I liked. It's you, it's always been you, Mobius." He smiled. Mobius starred down at his lips before leaning in to kiss his. His lips were the softest he's ever felt. Loki smiled through the kiss, making Mobius chuckle. Mobius pulled away, allowing for himself and Loki to breathe.
"I've been wanting to do that for a long time." Mobius grinned up at Loki.
"It's late, do you want to stay the night?" he added
"I'd love to and thank you." he smiled, leaning into another kiss.
