Don, freshly divorced single dad, starts going to the gym to regain some confidence, where he meets personal trainer Loki—who regularly works with people yet has a hard time getting close to anyone.
Mr. Laufeyson is the most popular teacher at Lakewood Elementary School, where Mobius's sons are students.
He's not just popular among the children, though. He's an even bigger hit among the parents...especially the single ones on the hunt for a Mr. Right.
Mobius isn't ashamed to admit he counts himself among the man's many, many admirers, but he also has no delusions that he could ever win the beautiful and intelligent Mr. Laufeyson's interest and attention.
Because that would be impossible...right?
Loki's gone, and Mobius has no intention of keeping it that way.
He's going to find Loki if it's the last thing he does.
“Good morning, little guy.”
The cat stared, unblinking, as he passed. Mobius never had time to stop, but seeing it on the way to work each morning brightened his day. It sat at the front of a narrow alley between a hotel and a fancy apartment building, its long tail swishing dramatically as it watched passers-by with a bored look in its pale green eyes.
It blinked once in his direction, then looked away. He considered that a win.
“This is about Loki Odinson, isn’t it?” Brad teases.
On reflex, Mobius denies, “No—”
“You’re a terrible liar for a senior business analyst. And also awfully dense.”
Before Mobius could respond, Verity interjects, “Brad, the more I’m forced to listen to you, the more irritated I get so just get to the fucking point,” she snarks.
“See, Mobius thinks Loki isn’t into him. I can prove that that’s indeed bullshit.”
“How?” Mobius naturally asks. Not because he’s, like, needing Brad Wolfe’s help anyways… Or admitting to having an embarrassingly bad crush on Loki for longer than would be considered healthy… Or appropriate between coworkers and best friends.
“I can flirt with you to make him jealous.”
OR:
A modern day, no powers office AU, in which Mobius doesn’t believe that Loki likes him more than platonically. Brad wants to prove him wrong by offering to flirt with Mobius, only to make Loki jealous.
