I can’t stop thinking about how weirdly intimate this deleted scene is. Loki’s like, ‘ugh, the cream is weird’ and Mobius is like, ‘lol, shaving cream’ and it’s just this quiet little moment of domesticity in the middle of cosmic bureaucracy. Loki looks so comfortable and dare I say… happy? Like they’re in their own little pie-filled world.
And theres something so ridiculously soft about Mobius throwing out the dumb shaving cream joke and Loki, a literal god, just giggling like an idiot. Like, Mobius could’ve said ANYTHING, and Loki would’ve been like ‘hehe, you’re so funny.’ Bro was smitten over pie and banter.
My favorite thing with Zero is that he always indulged Yuki before himself. Also that Yuki was comfortable with him enough to drag him along on outings and how she picked out clothes for him.
It was such a cute way to show their familiarity with one another and how long they spent together!

╌╌╌╌ it's the hundredth, or maybe two hundredth page that you've read on this one subject. you had dreaded this, knowing how important this was for your future.
it had been a long month, you weren't behind by any means, just frustrated with the work load you had sitting before you on your desk at home.
the regional language exam.
the one exam you were most worried about, the one that eventually pushed you over the edge.
as you look down at the page you see the words almost dancing, your vision blurring the more your eyes widen to try and make sense. there's a word that stands out to you, but you cant remember what it was. every fibre in your being needs to know this word, wants to know this word. for the life of you, you can't remember.
being interrupted by a groan from your friend, you turn to look behind you. chan, his usual cute expression now replaced by a hard frown as he tries to write something, his tongue sitting on the edge of his lip. hyunjin is beside him, pushing his legs out and stifling a yawn, enjoying the satisfied feeling of a good stretch. how can they be so damn calm? everything was riding from this.
it's when you look back to your page you realise you're about to crack. the words no longer make sense, the symbols scrambling more the harder you look. you can feel it, the tears forming and your mind finally breaking.
hyunjin laughs at something on his face and shows chan, making him chuckle too.
you can't take it any more, every sound was grating in your mind. you'd never been this close to burn out before, maybe you already were.
hyunjin laughs again, scrolling through his phone.
"would you shut up?!"
an awkward silence hits the air, both of your boys looking up at you. they stare at you for a moment, not really sure how to react to your outburst of frustration.
suddenly, you feel awful, you never talk to your friends like that. this wasn't you, this was damn burn out.
"hey, you, uh, you good?" hyunjin says as he tilts his head to the side, his eyes searching your own.
"shit- i'm sorry i'm just..." you trail off, feeling embarrassed with what you did.
chan stands from his chair, using the back of his legs to push it back. as he walks to your side he just holds out his arms, his fingers wriggling for you to bring it in. "come on, get away from that desk."
you eventually melt into his touch, tears spilling over the edge as you cry into his black jumper. chan was always a softy, he didn't always know what to say but he knew when you needed a hug.
hyunjin stands and joins in the hug too, wrapping his long arms around your waist to wriggle you around.
"stop!" you say trying to get out of the gorilla grip both of them have on you.
"no, not until you stop crying." hyunjin laughs, squeezing you tighter.
"oh you want it tighter? is that what they said?" chan says in a mocking fashion, clasping his hands behind you so you can't escape.
"no no!" you squeal out, your mind finally seeming to calm down a bit.
it's not even a second later where both of them raise you up and throw you onto your bed, much to your protest.
"what are we gonna do?" hyunjin asks chan, fingers tapping on the bottom of his chin in thought.
chan hums, copying hyunjin's stance, his brows comically frowning. "i've never seen it this bad doctor, i think they need the good stuff."
"oh, we can't, that's only for dire situations!" hyunjin gasps, shaking his head. "we can't!"
chan takes in a sharp breath, eye wide as he looks at you. "we have to doctor, get it, get it now!"
your giggles fill the room, your mind reeling with the display of theatre in front of you. hyunjin runs out your door, socks sliding along the wooden floors as he skids around the corner.
it doesn't take long for him to run back, a whole tub of ice cream in his hand and three spoons.
"it's not or never doctor." chan says to hyunjin, taking the tub into his hand.
hyunjin covers his eyes, turning to dramatically place a hand on the door frame. "i can't look, you do it!"
chan flops onto the bed, his hands out to you with the ice cream tub on them.
"quickly!" he yells into the bed, voice slightly muffled.
with a laugh you take the ice cream, your hand eagerly opening the fresh tub.
"did they take it?" hyunjin questions, his voice cracking in a fake cry.
"yes doctor, you've saved the day!" chan laughs, sitting on the bed next to you.
hyunjin turns from the door frame, hand on his heart as he sighs. "that was close."
it's right this second that you realise how grateful you are for your friends. you're still worried about what's going to happen, if you're going to pass or not.
when you look up at them both they're still laughing, fighting over who gets the next scoop of ice cream. at least with the two of them there to support you and egg you on, you knew you could do it. this is exactly what you needed.
but hey, if you were gonna fail you'd fail together at least.
