Mobius ran his hand along Loki's bare chest. Reaching his shoulder, he followed a small scar with his finger.
"What about this one?"
Loki answered softly, "I think it was a spear in a fight, but I don't remember."
Mobius followed another, there were quite a few, Loki was indeed a god, but some fights had left marks.
He continued his way on Loki's body, asking him each time the origin of the scar that his fingers or his eyes met. Loki willingly went along with it. Of course, some scars had difficult histories, but talking to Mobius helped him to exorcize the painful memories. Because Mobius understood.
Mobius kissed each scar and once he had mapped Loki's entire body he said softly, "If I could I would kiss all your scars away."
Loki kissed his hair and replied, "That's a nice thought, but I also like to have them as a reminder of mistakes I don't want to repeat."
Mobius nodded and put his hand over Loki's heart, "But there is one scar that is not seen, that I would really like to kiss away, that is the one you have here. Your deepest scar." Mobius pointed gently to his heart.
Loki's throat tightened, because yes, his heart that had been wounded by betrayals, lies, prejudices, still hurt sometimes,like an old scar that one forgets but which recalls itself from time to time. He looked at Mobius and, smiling gently, he said, "Mobius, love, this scar is nothing, because you have healed the wound. You are the person who saw that this heart was wounded and healed it so that it could love again."
Mobius placed a lingering kiss on Loki's heart and said softly, "This precious heart, I will take care of it for all time, always."
