Loki kissed Mobius's forehead, eyes, nose, mouth and continued to spread a path of kisses to Mobius's abdomen which was revealed by the open shirt whose flaps fell down along his hips. He placed a kiss above Mobius's navel and then straightening up he gently passed the flat of his hand in delicate circles on his chest, then his belly causing a long shudder in Mobius.
Then he bent down again and placed another kiss this time on the bottom of Mobius' navel and murmured, "Mm... So soft."
He didn't see Mobius' slight wince but heard him whisper, "I'm sorry."
Loki moved up Mobius' body until he placed his hands on either side of his face and looking at him with concern, he asked softly, "What are you sorry for, love?"
The softness of his tone brought tears to Mobius' eyes and he turned his head away to hide them.
After a deep breath, trying to swallow his tears, he looked back at Loki and said in a slightly raspy voice, "I'm sorry for the way I...am."
Loki stroked his face gently and asked, "What do you mean the way you are?"
"I'm sorry for the way I look," Mobius replied, turning his head again, but Loki wouldn't let him and framed his face so that they were eye to eye.
Loki asked him, "And what is wrong with your appearance?"
"I'm just... I hate being... soft." replied Mobius, "I'm not beautiful. There's nothing sexy about me."
"Oh Mobius..." sighed Loki.
He wrapped his arms around Mobius and with a smooth motion turned them around and hugged Mobius now on top of him, his head resting against Loki's chest, their legs intertwined.
Mobius continued, "When I see you so beautiful, I can't help but find myself... ordinary... tasteless."
Loki felt Mobius' tears fall on his chest, so he said nothing and let him cry while holding him close and pressing kisses on his head from time to time.
Then when Loki felt that Mobius had calmed down, he gently lifted his chin and kissed him softly while putting him on his back again.
He whispered while still holding her chin in the palm of his hand, "My precious treasure, I wish you could see yourself as I see you, for me there is nothing more beautiful than you. Your beauty, Mobius, comes from within you. You are as beautiful inside as outside. I love your eyes that light up when I walk into the room." He kissed Mobius' eyes.
"I love the line of your nose that gives you that special profile." He kissed the tip of his nose.
"And I love these lips that I could kiss all day." He placed a light kiss on Mobius' lips.
"I love this hollow here, that makes you tingle every time I do this." He ran a light sweep of his tongue across the hollow of Mobius' neck.
"I love your strong arms that make me feel safe every time you hug me." He slid his hands down Mobius' arms.
"You say you don't like being soft, but me Mobius I love it." He placed a kiss on Mobius' belly. "When I'm like this against you, it's like being surrounded by sweetness. Sometimes I just want to stay like this against you." He laid his cheek on Mobius' belly, lightly caressing his hips, noticing the goosebumps rising on Mobius' skin, he added, "And when I see your skin quivering like that under my fingers, it's magical."
He felt Mobius's belly shake under him because Mobius was laughing softly, he pulled up and saw with delight that Mobius's smile was back.
"And most of all, I love that smile you have only for me." He passed his thumb over Mobius's lips and Mobius whispered, "Thank you, sweetheart."
"No need to say thank you my prince. It's all true." Then he leaned in even more and pressed his lips on Mobius's, he kissed him and put into the kiss all the love and admiration he had for him, extending in that kiss all that he had said to Mobius.
And thus Mobius began to heal.
It would probably take some time.
There would be steps backwards.
But no doubt, with Loki's love, he would continue to progress, to overcome the obstacles and eventually see himself through Loki's eyes and love himself, just as he was.
