Work Text:

 

"Mobius, I'm home!" Loki shouted as he entered their home after a hard day's work. He took off his shoes and jacket then untied his TVA tie before looking around for Mobius.

"Ah, Loki, there you are! Welcome home!" the voice of Mobius seemed to come from the kitchen.

As he entered the room, a familiar sweet smell caught Loki's attention and he saw that Mobius was placing cookies on a plate.

"Mobius, this is..."

"You said you'd have a rough day at work, so I thought I'd surprise you with something... comforting."

Loki inhaled the air, "Hmm... anyway, it smells extremely good."

"Before you say that, I want you to taste them." replied Mobius as he sat him down in front of a plate of cookies and a cup of hot chocolate. He sat down next to him, handed him a cookie and watched Loki's face carefully as he chewed the cookie.

Loki, looking completely amazed, exclaimed, "But...these... these are my mother's cookies!"

He grabbed the next one and stuffed it in his mouth, the delight on his face more than obvious. Between bites, he asked, "But how, why?"

Mobius replied, a fond smile on his lips, "Remember the last time we went to see your mother?"

 

Mobius had waited until Loki was out and approached Frigga.

Still a little intimidated by Loki's mother, he had stammered a bit, "Your highness, here..."

Frigga had shaken her head, "Mobius, you're family, for you I am Frigga or even... mother if you want."

"Um... fine, Frigga."

Loki's mother smiled at him with an amused expression.

Mobius resumed,"I was wondering if you could give me the recipe for Loki's favorite cookies."

Frigga replied with a curious tone, "May I ask why?"

"Well, you know by now that I've had the opportunity to watch a lot of your son's life, and one thing that struck me is that in his childhood, his happiest moments were when he was with you, when you were baking cookies, singing songs and teaching him magic. Clearly the last two are not in my abilities, but baking cookies is. I wish he could have that carefree, happy feeling back and mmpf."

Mobius found himself hugged tightly by Frigga who had taken him in her arms.

When she stood back, her eyes were bright with tears and she said with great emotion in her voice, "I knew the first time I saw you arrive with my son that you were perfect for him and you proved it to me once again. Thank you for doing this for him."

Mobius had left that day with a recipe book containing everything needed to put a smile on Loki's face.

 

"There, you know the whole story," Mobius finished with a shrug.

Loki looked at him, an expression of wonder on his face, "You really are a miracle, you know that? Every time I think I can't love you more and every time you prove me wrong."

Loki pulled him against him and wrapped his arms around him, then pulling back a little, he pressed his lips to Mobius', capturing them in a kiss that had a taste of grapes and nuts.
