Loki?
This couldn’t be happening
How-
He was gone
He walked towards the figure, the world silent around him
Why was he so far away?
Was he even here?
He sped up his pace, hope filling his senses. He could hear his heart beat louder, his eyes watering
He could see the dark locks, that pale skin and those green eyes
“Loki?!” He started running, a smile creeping on his face. He was here. This was real, he was here-
As he approached he noticed the sadness and loneliness in his eyes. He still carried that smile- god that smile
Mobius ran, happiness flowing his senses
He was here
Loki was alive
He chuckled, keeping his running speed as he approached him closer
He was glorious
“ Mo-” he didn’t let him finish, hugging the life out of the man. His breath caught in his throat as his hands held the others back, gripping him tight as if he was the only piece of wood in the ocean. Tears ran down his face, his eyes closing in desperations
“Please- please be real” his voice was trembling, his body shaking
He felt the god’s arms wrap around him, his breath shaky as well. “I am” He answered. “I am” his voice was soft, comforting
The agent buried his face in his neck and cried. So much hurt- so much joy- too many emotions were going through his body
Loki held him tight, his own tears falling. “It’s okay” he reassured, voice weak with sorrow. “I’m here, it’s okay”
That voice- god that voice. He got so used to the once on the hologram, but this- this was real. This was Loki
His Loki
“Don’t you ever- ever - do that again”
The god chuckled. He missed that sound so much- he missed this, so much
He loosened his grasp on the man, his breathing becoming even as he came back down to reality
This was real
This was happening
He pulled away from the embrace, leaving his hands around the man’s neck. He looked at him in wonder. He looked perfect- he always had. His eyes were soft, hurt. His smile was still the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, past, future and present. He was gorgeous, even while crying
He loved him
Mobius hesitantly raised his left hand towards the god’s cheek, trying to wipe those tears off his face. Loki looked directly into his eyes, worry and loss settling in the apple green. The gods hand wrapped around the agent’s as he leaned into the touch and closed his eyes, desperate for any kind of contact. He felt like crumbling, melting into the man’s hand
God, he loved him
Was he dead? Because this- this was heaven. The god opened his eyes again, looking directly into the blue of the agent’s, and Mobius lost it
He grabbed Loki’s face with both hands, smashing their lips together. It was messy and rough, but he didn’t care, not one bit. He gave it his all; all his love, all his passion, all his heart. He fully knew that the god would not feel the same and push him off, expecting him to leave again with rejection as his last memory
To his surprise, Loki kissed back with as much force as Mobius- if not more. He had tears running on his face again but he didn’t bother, gripping the agent’s back to deepen their exchange and make sure he wouldn’t let go
They stayed that way for a while, simply kissing one another without a care in the world, unaware of anything and everything around them
Their lips parted as air became an issues, keeping their foreheads glued and eyes shut, both terrified this wasn’t real
“You don’t know for how long I’ve wanted to do that” whispered the god with a smile, earning a small chuckle from the man
“How long?” he asked, curious yet quiet. In each other’s arms, they felt alone in the universe
“Centuries, now”
“Centuries?!” he laughed. “Really? That long for little ol’ me?”
It was his time to chuckle. “How much time has it been here?”
“12 days and 48 minutes, last I checked”
The trickster grinned. “You kept count?”
“Every second” he smiled
They kissed again, this time slower and sweeter. It felt good, right. He was lost in the moment, not a single care or worry in his head
This was it
His happiness was back
The man who stole his heart was back
The man he loved was back
“Loki-” he started before being shut by a pair of soft lips. He was never ever going to get tired of those “ I gotta tell you something”
“Hmm?” he questioned, joy radiating from him. He looked so peaceful, so happy
He could do this. He just kissed the man, he could say a three letter sentence.”I-” Mobius opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, trying to find the words. “I- I- fuck”
Loki laughed. “I believe in you” he uttered, beforing pickering the edge of his broken nose in reassurance
“I- love you” he whispered, barely hearable
The god smiled. Tha carefree, happy smile. The one where everything was finally going right, where he was satisfied. He mumbled under his breath
“What?”
“Say it again” he asked, his eyes shut as if he didn’t believe it. “Please”
“I love you”
The god had watery eyes and a shaky voice. “Again”
Mobius lifted the other’s head and forced their eyes to lock. “I love you, Loki” he spoke clearly, making sure the god heard him
The man in his hands sobbed before falling into the agent’s arms. He was not used to being cherished, to be loved. After being alone for so- so so long - this felt like a dream too good to be true
The agent didn't care if there was no reciprocation, or if the god in his arms never said it. He was content with Loki knowing he was loved, knowing he was cared for. “It's alright, I got you. I love you”
The trickster grabbed the man's face and kissed him, Mobius quickly kissing back. They stayed this way for a long while, just holding onto the other as if they would disappear. They slightly parted, simply holding hands, lost in one another in this still world
“How- how are you here? I thought you were lost in the end of time forever -” he questioned, curiosity taking over
“I gained control over the time slipping. It wasn't about what or when- it was about who. It was about you”
Mobius scoffed. “Me? Me? What did I do?”
“I was- am, tied to you. Everywhere I time slipped, you were there, and it was my main goal; to find you again. But not- not a variant or a before the TVA, you”
“I dunno if I should be flattered or concerned” The god laughed. Man did he love that sound. “So, how is the end of time?”
“Lonely, but not boring. Watching the timelines grow is very interesting. None of them are the same, they are all different in their own little way” he grinned. “You should come see them with me”
“Is it even possible for me to go up there? Cause I'm kind of human” suddenly, he remembered. “Am I gonna get my skin peeled off?!”
“Nooo, you'll be fine”
“Right, yeah, life with no skin”
“You'll keep your skin, don't worry”
“Hope so” he paused, thinking. “Wait, if you're supposed to watch the timelines, how are you here now?”
Loki smiled. “I became the god of time”
“Wait what?-”
“I can stop time, go in the future, the past- anything and everything”
“So you already know how our little reunion is gonna end?”
“No, I'm in the present currently”
“This is so confusing”
“You and me both”
Mobius clicked. He was going to leave again, any moment now. He couldn't keep time paused forever, and maybe he was going to forget everything that happened Once he unfroze the world
“Why didn't you come back to the TVA? I'm sure everyone would be very happy to see you again”
“The TVA is a place with no time, I can't freeze it. I can go back in the past or future, but since it's outside the timelines, I can't access it”
“Makes sense” he whispered, fear installing in his heart. Loki was going to leave. He was going to leave him again and he could do nothing about it
“What now?” he asked
“I don't know”
“I mean- I know you're gonna have to leave, god duties and all but-”
“If you stay on a timeline, any timeline, I'll find you, and I'll stay as long as you allow me to”
“What about the other timelines?”
“Mobius” he started, placing his left hand on the other cheek. “I am the god of time, I'll tend to them when I please”
Okay, hot and powerful, got it he thought, nodding his head as they shared another kiss
He was kissing the god of time
He was kissing the man he loved
And he was kissing back
