Mobius, half-dressed, sighed. He was exhausted and didn't feel like going to the restaurant, but he and Loki had planned this date for a long time and he didn't want to disappoint him.
"Mobius?"
He turned to Loki, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with a concerned look on his face as he asked, "Are you okay, love?"
Mobius stepped closer and replied, "Yes, yes, I'm just a little tired."
Loki reached out his arm and as soon as Mobius approached, he grabbed his hand and pulled him closer. Then the god wrapped his arms around Mobius' waist and swung back while holding his lover who found himself lying on top of him.
Mobius sighed, "Loki..."
"Shhh..." whispered Loki as he cradled Mobius against him.
Mobius buried his head in the god's neck and inhaled deeply.
"Mmmh, you always smell amazing!"
"Hm?" wondered Loki, "Yet I don't wear any special perfume."
Mobius breathed in again, "It smells like you, just you. If I had to describe it, I'd say it's a mixture of magic, cedar and honey."
"That's sweet." chuckled Loki.
Mobius merely smiled against Loki's skin and added, "That's the way it is."
Loki tangled their legs together, moving slightly until they were perfectly settled against each other. He laughed softly at the thought that they were like two pieces of a puzzle that fit together perfectly.
Mobius, hearing his laughter, asked, "What are you thinking, sweetheart?"
"How well we fit together."
Mobius snuggled even more into Loki's side and hummed pleasantly before saying, "It's like we were made for each other."
Loki replied, "Not like, we are made for each other."
Mobius nodded against him and they stayed that way for a few minutes. Mobius with his face in Loki's neck, Loki stroking his hair. Mobius felt so good at that moment that he didn't want to leave at all.
He whispered hesitantly, "I..." then stopped, then started again, then stopped again.
Loki bowed his head and lifted Mobius' chin, he inquired, "What is it that you don't dare tell me?
Mobius said sheepishly, biting his lips, "I don't feel like going out tonight. But I can see why you'd want to-"
"We should just stay in tonight and cuddle." interrupted Loki's soft voice.
"What?"
Loki repeated, "I said, we should just stay in tonight and cuddle."
He pressed Mobius against him and whispered against his hair, "When will you learn to express your needs without shame? Don't hide them. It is my greatest joy to give you what you need, my love. It doesn't matter to me if we go to a restaurant or not. What matters to me is to be with you, no matter how you feel. So I decree that tonight we should stay in and cuddle."
He passed his arms along Mobius' body and added, "Believe me it's just as enjoyable for me as dining face to face with you and eating delicacies."
Mobius, who had nothing to say to that, snuggled up even more against Loki and whispered, "Yeah...thanks."
Loki moved him and Mobius to be more comfortable and wrapped a blanket around them.
Then he pulled Mobius close to him again and it wasn't long before he could hear Mobius' steady breathing against his chest.
Loki whispered, "Sleep my sweet love, I'll take care of you."
