- Why do you care so much?- Mobius tried to whisper as he entered the TVA file room. He didn't want to continue the discussion that Loki seemed determined to continue. He didn't think it was a good idea to bother the other workers in the place but at least he hoped Loki would hold back there.
- He was about to kiss you! And he's only been here what, 5 days? - He had lowered his tone of voice a few decibels, however, Mobius could see that his presence had not been welcome to those who read his files carefully.
- Oh...- Mobius began to laugh with derision. He actually found what he had just heard funny in an acidic way - You? Of all people...you're the one who wants to tell me when it's appropriate to like someone? - Mobius was seriously frustrated. The God in front of him had caused a series of catastrophes by falling in love with his alternate self in less than a day.
- Mobius, you know that...-
- It's no different and don't try to make me think it is. You were willing to go through anything to rescue Sylvie and yet I'm still wrong for wanting to kiss someone. A kiss doesn't compare to a multidimensional disaster or rather, a kiss that wouldn't cause anything doesn't compare to what you and she did - Mobius felt so exhausted. He had been since Loki arrived but that exhaustion had started to become more sour than sweet when Sylvie showed up.
He really liked her but he couldn't deny that there was a thorn of resentment. One that hurt thanks to the deep affection he had for Loki.
- But...this guy could be someone horrible. Someone dangerous - Loki held his hand up in front of Mobius to prevent Mobius from interrupting him again - He hasn't even taken off that stupid suit the whole time he's been here, not even when he was going to kiss you-.
- Mr. Gold Horns decides which suit is stupid and which is not - well, maybe that had been childish and product of the mere annoyance that Loki was causing him, but he wanted to stop being questioned by someone who didn't seem to have cared about doing the same thing before.
- Mobius...- Loki's tone changed to one of sincere concern.
- You didn't answer me, why do you care? - reiterated Mobius. The two had stopped their little chase through the shelves of files and were now looking at each other through the emptier folders.
Loki folded his arms and looked down, weighing his answer.
- Why would you kiss him? - the God asked instead of answering.
It was Mobius' turn to lower his gaze.
- Wade is nice - he answered after a pause. Loki looked at him angrily, and smiled mockingly.
- I don't kiss people I find pleasant and you don't either- Mobius still didn't look up. He didn't want to say something so embarrassing in front of Loki but he had done and said many things that had put him in a vulnerable situation, so maybe they should be even.
- I like the attention Wade gives me. He appreciates my qualities and always listens to me carefully. I can't be sure of his intentions but it's nice to know he's attracted to me, besides, he may be someone dangerous but so are you - Mobius thought about the sudden way the TVA had gotten his hands on Wade.
Deadpool had always been kind of a joke at the TVA, as it was hard to believe that there was someone so unbalanced and...free who just jumped around in time as he pleased and often without a target.
So it was a surprise to everyone when this Deadpool variant ended up with them and it was even more surprising to Mobius how Mobius had been almost immediately drawn to him.
Mobius didn't think badly of himself, as he considered him to have a certain charm and personality, however, he didn't remember having that kind of attention in his TVA life. He knew even less about his real life.
- Ah, so you like it when he calls you "dilf"? You like it when he touches your mustache in a ridiculous way and when he acts like a stupid cartoon? - Mobius opened his eyes in surprise to hear such bitterness in Loki's voice.
- Yes - Mobius answered without looking away from Loki's face. His frown and that grimace were completely unsettling him - And since I answered you, since you mocked me, can you tell me why the hell are you so interested in him? - Mobius knew how to deal with his insolence. He was doing his best to understand his feelings and empathize with his emotions. He cared too much about Loki to put his feelings aside but his annoyance confused him completely.
- Because I like you - Loki whispered guiltily. He knew what had happened because of his fixation with Sylvie and he knew Mobius might have felt some jealousy when he arrived with her at the TVA. He knew that his need for affection could have made him make a lot of mistakes but since Sylvie's absence, Loki had begun to reflect on what she really meant to him and above all, what the analyst meant to him.
The guilt he felt for his indecision had prevented him from having this talk with Mobius and with Wade's arrival, everything seemed even more complicated.
Mobius looked at Loki carefully and sighed heavily.
- Why must you make things so complicated? - and Loki was about to answer, to apologize for feeling the wrong way, however, Loki watched as Mobius approached him, a shelf divided them but even so, Mobius managed to hold Loki's little finger with his own.
Loki looked at him in surprise. If Mobius hated him for his indecisiveness, it would be expected, but there he was, giving him all his affection and being as indulgent and understanding as ever.
He still felt guilty and undeserving of his love but he couldn't help but smile.
Mobius smiled back. He still had a lot of insecurities but he couldn't not take advantage of what he had waited for so long.
- Moby! Darling...- Wade's singsong voice burst into the place, which at this point was already quite empty thanks to the discomfort caused by the discussion of the God and the analyst.
Loki was calmer but still looked at Mobius with attention.
- Do you really like him? - If Mobius decided to stay with him, it would also be expected and Loki thought it would be too selfish of him to put obstacles in his way. He had really behaved like a jerk ....
- I like him but I can't deny that this is partially born out of an underserved ego - and he felt terrible about that, for Wade had been absolutely charming and caring towards him. He didn't thought about that part that cared, trully, for Wade.
- Moby! - Wade exclaimed when he found them. Over that tight, peculiar suit he wore, he had donned the regulation TVA uniform. Thanks to Deadpool's many chaotic variations, he had found himself in a situation similar to Loki's, as they had to hunt down a Deadpool who decided to save his girlfriend from murder...and the world from genocide.
Wade watched their interlocked fingers and the guilty expressions on both of their faces...but he already suspected as much.
- Oh, Moby, at least you would have invited me...you could still do it - They didn't quite understand how he did it but his face covered by that mask expressed an alarming mischievousness.
- Wade - Mobius couldn't help laughing. That was another trait he had really liked about him, his free and acid sense of humor.
- I'm serious! Cuernitos and I love you, you'd be spoiled...big time- and again in an inexplicable way, the mask made the gesture of raising and lowering his eyebrows in a suggestive way.
- Loki- the long-haired one crossed his arms over his chest looking at Wade with annoyance. He didn't appreciate being called that and he didn't appreciate the red guy's suggestion either.
- And you'd be really charming if you'd stop looking at me like that - with some awkwardness Wade tried to reach for Loki's hands, with no luck.
- Why do I feel that would go terribly wrong? - Mobius also crossed his arms over his chest examining Wade.
- You don't have to! I've been in threesomes so many times that I know exactly what to do...- Wade shut up suddenly - Oh Moby, but I swear you're special...really! - This time the only injury was to Mobius' ego although he had previously suspected that Wade said and did that sort of thing all the time.
Loki laughed quietly. At least it didn't really seem to be a problem for Wade and if it wasn't, Mobius wouldn't torture himself with any guilt.
- Just think about it! A terribly attractive Dilf, literally a God and me, a devastatingly charming mutant with regenerative abilities...imagine the possibilities- And again, that mask expressed more flirtation than a mask should.
Loki and Mobius began to advance out of there, while Wade followed them, listing the fun they could have together.
- He flatters you so much. As you do with me - commented Loki as Wade's voice followed them.
- I saw his life... It's not uncommon for him- And though he'd seen so many people fall for Wilson's flattery, he really liked it from time to time.
Though of course, it wasn't the same in comparison to the synergy he had with Loki.
Perhaps it was that comment from Mobius or the fact that most of Wade's words revolved around the purely sexual, the truth was that Loki felt less concerned and...jealous.
And certainly, Mobius' hand shyly brushing his was the perfect bonus.
