Salon buddies for @favoriteanalyst

It started about a few months ago. Loki needed to relax after making the mistake of spending his winter holidays with his 'family' (which ended in another spectacular fight with Odin that resulted in one broken window and a lost snow globe Loki has thrown through said broken window), but his normal esthetician was booked solid for the next year and couldn't fit him in outside of his own pre-scheduled appointments no matter how much money he offered to throw at her. Wanda was the best in the city, probably the whole country, so it made sense, but there's still the issue of Loki needing something to relieve his tension so he didn't strangle his paralegals. The thought crossed his mind of setting up a tindr profile for a quick fuck, but he isn't in law school anymore and that was just a disaster waiting to happen.

Wanda saves him from making a bad decision by texting him the information for another technician she helped train. She claims he's new, but very talented, which he figures will do in a pinch. The link she sent him takes him to a rather outdated looking webpage for the "TVA Salon and Spa", an older establishment that apparently started in the 50's as a barber shop, but recent made the jump to full salon under new management. Despite the clunky UI, he's able to schedule an appointment for a basic manicure the very next day with the young man Wanda had told him about.

Casey is a nice young man. Not anywhere as skilled as Wanda, but his nails come out looking acceptable with their basic black polish and the hand massage he gets to begin with is utterly divine. He doesn't go into detail about his family problems, but the other gets the gist that the holidays were strained and is more than willing to play the oh-so-important role of listening ear even if his platitudes do ring a little hollow.

When the appointment is over, Casey hands him a card for a free deep conditioning treatment or 30 minute shoulder massage.

"These are really just for family and friends," he explains, "but you really seem like you need something to help you relax." He thinks about declining, but decides it isn't polite and takes the card anyway before handing the young man a $400 tip.

The stern looking woman at the front desk gives him a serious look as Casey nearly passes out in the background. "I'm going to be checking those to make sure they're real."

"But of course, I would expect nothing less." His usual winning smile does nothing to lighten her glare as she rings him out. She asks if he wants to use the card to schedule something today. Why not? It's a charming establishment and he has some free time coming up.

The masseuse the card is good for, Bee, is apparently booked solid for the next month, but the stylist, Mobius, just had a cancellation in the following week that fit perfectly in his schedule.

That appointment was the beginning of the end for Loki.

So in he walks six months later, having ditched his normal high-end stylist for a middle-aged man who looks like he works in a cubicle rather than a up-and-coming salon. It isn't his normally scheduled appointment, but his cases have been crazy and Thor just left for his "journey of self-discovery" aka backpacking across Europe, so all of Odin's attention is now on his youngest.

Joy.

If Loki were the sentimental type, he'd think it a shame that the lobby area of a salon is more comfortable for him than his childhood home.

"I think I'm asking rather nicely." It's not that Loki doesn't like to beg, but he has a reputation to uphold here! He can't just give in at the first request. But he does seem to like the push back judging by his hand on the other's dick picks up the tempo.

He doesn't have a reputation with Mobius yet! The reputation seems to be 'has lots of casual and/or paid sex' and can be a little wild. He doesn't have to be bratty and make Mobius suck in a sharp breath or make his hips shudder.

"Well, could always make you do all the work, but then you wouldn't get to have my hands on you. Guess I'll just keep them all to myself. Mm, does mean I could watch you get yourself off..."

Loki imagines it: Mobius sitting on the edge of the bed or even across the room, fully clothed, watching Loki fuck into his own fist. Maybe he calls out directions, tells him when to stop or speed up, telling him when to come. It's almost enough to send him over the edge right then and there. Loki keens and decides that today is a good day to give in.

"Mobius." It isn't quiet the moan he'd had on his lips after their shopping day, but it's close. "Touch me. I want your hands on my cock so bad, fuck. Make me come, please!"

He wouldn't have kept it up for too much longer. He doesn't know where the boundary lines are yet, literally and figuratively feeling each other out. But the way Loki says is name definitely gets his cock twitching in that deft hand.

"Okay." With a breathy, open-mouthed kiss. "Okay. Since you said please. Mm, think I've got a head start on you, though. Doesn't seem fair."

It takes, he feels, quite a bit of effort to reach down and take Loki's hand away, to kiss the beating pulse point of his wrist, set it gently aside. Somewhere along the line they lost the 'slow' of this, and he intends to ease them back to it. Not that fast and hard isn't appealing. God damn it's appealing. And they don't have to play into some kind of normative sanctity of a first time bull. But it would be nice to have this last longer than another minute. He wants to drink Loki in.

He sits up, enjoying how flushed Loki looks (as though he isn't several shades of pink from the chest up), splays his hands along Loki's thighs as he pushes them further apart. Runs them up and up to his hips, thumbs courting pelvic lines. Slowly, gently, one hand mirrors how Loki started this off earlier, feeling along his cock, down and up, before wrapping it around the whole shaft for something a little firmer.

Mobius didn't say to keep his hand where it's placed on the bed, but Loki does anyways, the tender kiss on his wrist securing him better than any cuff could. His free hand goes to his mouth, muffling the breathy moans and whimpers that escape as Mobius caresses his way to his leaking cock. He's painfully hard now, the first light touches ripping an obscene moan from his lips that only gets louder when Mobius actually grips him. He squeezes his eyes shut, willing himself away from orgasm. This can't end now, he's going to drag every bit of pleasure from this night he can.

It certainly answers any questions he might have had about Loki's volume in bed. Another time (god, here he is, already thinking of another time) when not in a hotel room that's bound to have walls less than soundproof no matter how nice a place it is, he'll more than encourage Loki to be as loud as he wants. A little muffling might not be the worst idea, though.

He gives a few long strokes, glad his isn't the only cock glistening with precum. Next time they do this, lube is necessary, but so long as they're careful enough, they can get by just fine without tonight. He indulges in just stroking until he decides to line his own cock along Loki's. Adding to the friction. Getting a hand around both of them at the same time.

The feel of Mobius' erection pressed against his, gentle hand wrapping around both, causes Loki's hips to stutter up in an aborted thrust. He grips the sheets tight, working to get his breathing under control. This is ridiculous, he isn't some blushing virgin who's never been touched before. Compared to his normal activities, this should be utterly boring, but when he opens his eyes and sees the way Mobius is looking at him, his body flushes impossibly more.

"I'm so close already, please!"

"I got you." A promise. "Hold on." An order. He can feel how close Loki is, and yes, it's astonishing, and it's also so hot he almost doesn't know what to do with himself. But he does. He very much does, and that's double down, rub themselves together like they're actually fucking, tighten his grip even if it's rough, ride this out until they're both a fucking wreck.

Loki babbles behind the hand still covering his mouth. It's mostly incoherent, with only the occasional 'yes' 'fuck' and 'don't stop' understandable. His hips thrust up a few times to meet Mobius' hand, driving even more friction, pushing him closer and closer.

It doesn't take long before he feels the pressure building. He holds it off for as long as possible until finally he can't. Toes curl, back arches, and Mobius' name spills from his lips like a prayer as orgasm crashes over him like a wave.

Oh, he's fucking beautiful. Bent and bowed and long and tense and losing himself. Mobius slows, taking Loki's cock full in hand to slowly ride him through the crashing wave, milk every last sensation out, bends over him to capture his mouth. If he still feels some urge to muffle himself, Mobius will do it for him. At least until it seems he starts to come down.

"Stay right there." With a hand braced on Loki's shoulder. Because now he can focus entirely on himself, a little frantic, taking in the sight of Loki and letting that push him up and up and over, a breathless tension as he spills himself out on Loki's stomach, their come delightfully mixed together.

The hand previously fisted in the sheets comes up to rest on the back of Mobius' neck as he rides out his own orgasm. Loki isn't aware of too much, but he is aware enough to capture the other's lips in a kiss as he comes, stealing any noises that may follow.

The haze of a good orgasm starts to fade, his body light and floaty as he wraps his arms around Mobius to pull him closer. It makes the mess on their abdomens even worse, but he doesn't really care right now.

"Holy shit."

What's a little mess between partners? Not something Mobius has any particular care about. Not in his current state. Not with them warm and filled with the good hormones. His breathing starts to even out little by little, and heavy kisses lead to light sloppy ones along his jaw.

"Like how that sounded. My name out of you."

Loki makes a hum of agreement, the vibrations in his chest almost sounding like a purr. He holds him close, but doesn't make moves to grope or kiss himself beyond returning what Mobius offers.

"I'd very much like for you to hear it again," he says, turning to nuzzle into the top of Moibus' head. He can't quite tell if it's the shampoo the man use or maybe his natural musk, but he smells utterly divine. "You're amazing."

"Mm, I'd say that's just your satisfied dick talking, but I'll take the compliment." Mutual handjob does not necessitate 'amazing' to him, but, they both sure seemed to enjoy it. Who's he to judge, really? "You're handsome as the devil and twice as hot."

"You know, I don't think I've heard that one before." Loki chuckles at the turn of phrase, flushing with the compliment at it's center. He's always been more prone to blush right after sex, but right now he can't seems to care.

"Do you have any idea how handsome you are?" he asks, tracing meaningless circles into Mobius' back.

"I don't...know why I said it like that." Could have gone with something much simpler. But there's nothing simple about Loki. But at least it's appreciated.

"I'm pretty sure I'm not bad looking. I can get dates." And more. "Not gonna play the comparison game, since you'd win out every time." He idly runs a hand through Loki's hair, playing with the way it's splayed out behind and under him.

"I like it." He drops a kiss on top of Mobius' head.

Loki huffs at the redirect of his own compliment. "You are incredibly handsome. I'll sing all the ways when my brain starts working properly again," he lightly pinches Mobius' side, "so stop being obstinate and take the compliment."

"Hey." Grouse grouse grumble. He might not take 'incredibly handsome', but he won't argue it at this very moment. Not when he gives Loki a gentle kiss in return, and then rolls off him onto his side, tugging Loki along to face him.

"If that's how wild you get when I'm touching you, though, then I can't wait to play around doing other things."

"Just wait until we get back to New York, then I can really make some noise." Loki turns over as Mobius rolls, trying to keep them as close as possible.

It's hard to ignore the way the drying come on their stomachs tug at his skin, and it's only going to get worse. Huffing, he sits up, dropping another kiss onto Mobius' head.

"Stay put, I'll be right back." He hurries to the bathroom to wipe himself down with a damp wash cloth. It's only a minute before he comes back out to the bed, another clean cloth in his hands for Mobius. "Let me."

"You'll get some complaints from your neighbors, but not from me."

He only makes a small noise of protest when Loki gets up, and when he's back, Mobius rolls on his back and splays himself out casually, comfy. "I feel like you're a prime example of 'hate to see you go, love to watch you leave'. Or is it the other way around?" Good legs. Nice ass.

"Both mean I have a nice ass, so I'll take either." Loki smirks as he crawls back into bed and begins gently wiping the mess off of Mobius' stomach with tender, but efficient movements. The washcloth isn't the softest (it is just a hotel rag after all) but Loki was careful to run it under hot water so it wouldn't be chilly when he got back.

Mobius hums with contentment. Now that they're like this, a lot of the nerves seem to have dissipated. There's still the niggle of self-consciousness, but it's less demanding, easy to ignore. He brushes the back of a hand along Loki's cheek. "I'll have to take it for a test drive one of these days."

"Hopefully one day soon." He didn't bring a variety box of condoms and a new bottle of lube for nothing. Well, technically he brought it for the toys he packed in case Mobius wasn't actually interested, but sometimes things can serve more than one purpose.

Clean up done, Loki drops the wash cloth off the side of the bed and lays back down next to Mobius, scooting closer until he can comfortably rest his head on his chest.

"I'm glad you agreed to come on this trip with me."

"Hopefully tomorrow, or unwinding from a stressful day dealing with political intrigue and your family, or before we go home, or after, or later tonight..."

Just. You know. Ideas for 'soon'.

His hand goes back to brushing through Loki's hair once he's resting comfortably. There's definitely more to talk about--some of their kinks discovered here, for instance. But this is cozy.

"Glad I agreed to throw all caution and sense to the wind and come along."

"Later tonight?" Loki say with mock surprise. "I had no idea you were so insatiable." While his libido could definitely go for another round, he is still feeling the effects of jet lag. If Mobius wants to go again, he'll oblige, but at the moment he's perfectly content to just be near the other.

What a weird sentiment.
