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 The link she sent him takes him to a rather outdated looking webpage for the "TVA Salon and Spa", an older establishment that apparently started in the 50's as a barber shop, but recent made the jump to full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.

"Where should I touch you?"

"You may," he says, because it all feels like a question. "You can scratch me, and you can move." If Loki wants to rut against him, he should feel free. It will not stop him from jerking him slow and steady, at least for now, his other hand firm along a thigh.

"You feel so good, shit, please don't stop."

"C-close, Mobius, fuck!" Pressure builds in his core as he feels his orgasm begin to mount.

"You come now."

A delicious haze falls over him as the last drops are spent and his muscles finally relax. He drops his head forward onto Mobius' shoulder, panting slightly.
"Thank y-you, s-Mobius."

"Yes, I promise I'll be good. Be whatever you want."

After a few minutes of comfortable silence, Loki feels a bit more grounded. A thought strikes him and he can't quite manage to hold back a snicker.
"Can't believe we're just sitting here in what is essentially lavender sperm soup."
no subject
The comment, however, gets a laugh in return. And a pinch to the side. "Big as this tub is, as much water as is in here, if you came enough to make it a sperm soup, I'll be thoroughly impressed and suitably intimidated. But if you're done marinating, we can get you dried off and mosey on over to your fun room..."
no subject
"'Mosey.' Such a fun word."
no subject
At last, he slides himself from Loki and makes to get out, offering a hand to help Loki--not that he needs it.
no subject
"For you," he says, holding it out to Mobius.
no subject
But Mobius is Mobius, a soft dom, maybe a service top, do the words really matter in the end? Therefore he doesn't towel himself off, but rather starts on Loki first. Patting and rubbing up and down all over, taking in the clinging scent of lavender.
And then a kiss to the forehead. "Are you feeling more relaxed now?"
no subject
He nods at the question. "Much more relaxed. Between the bath, the massage, and the orgasm, it's almost like this week never happened."

"I'm green. Good to go if you still are."

"The St. Andrew's Cross is even padded!" He gestures to said X sitting against a wall. "Dungeons don't have padded restraints like that."
no subject
"Hey, I want you to demonstrate the spank bench for me." While they're at it.
