Mobius and Loki have been in the archives for hours and they were both exhausted. Loki had fallen asleep about ten minutes ago but he looked so peaceful that Mobius didn’t want to wake him up yet. He noticed Loki’s eye bags a few days ago but didn’t want to say anything that may tick him off. He accidentally started staring at him while he was sleeping. Something about the fact that Loki felt comfortable enough around him to fall asleep made him happy. They have gotten closer over time but every time Loki shows signs of trust towards him he gets butterflies in his stomach. Trust isn't something that comes easily for Loki so it just makes him feel extra special. He knows he shouldn’t have feelings like this for anyone, especially not a variant but he can’t help it.
He gently nudged Loki awake, not wanting to scare him. He spoke in a soft, caring voice, “Hey sleepyhead. How about we head over to my place so you can get some rest?” He was extremely tired himself and wanted to sleep too.
Loki’s eyes were barely open. He gently nodded his head, “Mhm.” Normally, he would say no but he’s been up for gods know how long. He needed to sleep eventually. The tone of Mobius’ voice made the corner of his lip turn upwards. He’s not used to being spoken to like that.
After putting all the files away, Mobius signaled Loki to get up. As they walked side by side to Mobius’ apartment, he rested his hand on the small of Loki’s back, supporting him. Part of it because he was scared of him falling, the other part was just because he wanted to touch him.
Once they reached the apartment, Mobius guided Loki to his bedroom. He didn’t realize until now that they would be sharing a bed. While he personally doesn’t mind, he doesn’t want to do anything that will make Loki uncomfortable. He took off his shoes and blazer and loosened his tie. When he looked over to his bed, Loki was already laying down still fully clothed- shoes and everything. The only thing he managed to get off was his jacket.
“Loki, why don’t you change out of your work clothes so you can be more comfortable? I can help you if you want-” Mobius didn’t realize those last couple words were coming out of his mouth. He means it though, if he wants help he doesn’t mind assisting.
Loki gently tugged at his own tie as a sad attempt to take it off. He didn’t think he was this exhausted. He spoke in a quiet voice, embarrassed about what he was asking from Mobius. “Could you?” As much as he hated to admit it, he liked when Mobius would touch him. His touch was warm and comforting. Physical affection is never something he got much of.
Mobius nodded his head as he walked over to him. He started by taking off his shoes and putting them on the floor. As he started to undo his tie, he couldn’t help but look at him. Loki had opened his eyes to meet his. The two looked at each other while Mobius was taking the tie off him. He broke the eye contact once he was done.
“Would you be comfortable in your boxers? I have another shirt you can wear.” Mobius got flustered at the thought of Loki’s body.
Loki nodded his head, “Yeah.” He’s not embarrassed of his body, the part that gets to him a little is that Mobius is going to see it. He was too tired to care enough though.
Mobius grabbed a shirt from his closet and placed it on the bed. He was hesitant to move his hands towards his pants since he was still flustered by his own thoughts. Slowly, he began to undo Loki’s pants. He can’t stop looking at his body which made both of their faces tint a light pink. He slipped off his pants, letting his hands linger on his thighs. His eyes followed every part of his body that got revealed. After what felt like forever, Mobius folded the pants and put them to the side.
His hands moved up to Loki’s shirt, he felt his eyes on him but couldn’t bring himself to make eye contact. One by one, he started to unbutton his shirt. He didn’t say a word because his mind was too busy elsewhere. He watched as Loki's chest became more exposed. He finds Loki’s body so beautiful. The man literally has the body of a god. Without realizing, he was already at the last button.
While moving his hands to Loki’s shoulders to take off his shirt, he accidentally grazed his chest, making him shudder a bit. That reaction filled his mind with thoughts, thoughts that he should definitely not be having. He tried to force the thoughts away. He looked at him, took off Loki’s shirt, and placed it aside.
“Mobius-” Loki didn’t get another word out before pulling on Mobius’ tie and bringing him in for a kiss. He was so tired that he didn’t fully understand what he was doing, but he knew he wanted this.
Mobius moved his hand to Loki’s face and gently cupped it. All of this threw him off guard but he was loving it. The feeling that Loki gave him was indescribable. He just felt so warm and safe with him.
Loki let go of the tie and placed his hand on Mobius’s chest. He spoke softly with a small smile on his face, “Forget about the shirt and lay down next to me.”
Mobius smiled and gave him a light kiss on the forehead. While walking to the opposite side of the bed, he took off the rest of his TVA uniform. He climbed into bed and pulled a blanket over the two of them. He wrapped his arms around Loki.
Loki tried to speak but all that came out was stuttering. He was trying to start a conversation about them, what their relationship was going to be like from here on out.
Mobius gently played with Loki’s hair, “Don’t worry, we can talk later. Try to get some rest, love.” That nickname slipped out by accident but he doesn’t regret it. His smile grew when he felt Loki wrap his arms around his waist. He loves how close they are right now and doesn’t want this to end. He gave him a kiss on the forehead and closed his eyes.
Everything was perfect.
