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 The link she sent him takes him to a rather outdated looking webpage for the "TVA Salon and Spa", an older establishment that apparently started in the 50's as a barber shop, but recent made the jump to full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

They're wonderful sounds, even if muffled. Almost as wonderful as the sight of Loki spent and dazed. Mobius rubs at his back lightly. "Might let you say it in the future. But you're doing a good job of not saying it tonight. Good at following my instructions. And you're gonna keep being good for me, aren't you?"

He presses a kiss to Loki's temple, holding him loosely, but holding him all the same. "We're gonna soak a bit longer. At least 'til you've got yourself together. Take as much time as you need."

There are exactly zero problems with being in Loki's lap, frankly, so it's all comfortable.

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..."

"Call me old fashioned that way. We could meander," he adds, not doing very much to move at this very moment, "or maybe saunter. Sidle, slink, or if we want to go faster about it, we could make our way posthaste."

At last, he slides himself from Loki and makes to get out, offering a hand to help Loki--not that he needs it.

"You're too kind."

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?"

"Best news I've heard all day." Mobius grins and does a much quicker and half-cocked job drying himself, clearly less important to him. "You sure you're up for more? Double checking. We can just go to bed and frolic between the sheets if you want."

"Okay. Good. To your swanky sex dungeon that's not a dungeon it is." He'll lead the way, even. "It definitely doesn't have to be below ground to be a dungeon, by the way."

"So if I go to a club and they've got a sex dungeon, it's going to be all rough and no padding? Padding's what turns it from a dungeon to a room?" He brings Loki's hand up to kiss the back of it, smiling easy. It's all just teasing, after all.

"Hey, I want you to demonstrate the spank bench for me." While they're at it.

It's very, very nice to look at. And the added information is neatly tucked away for later.

But he's been caught by a detail that he's turning over in his mind again and again. Even as he comes up behind Loki and runs fingers down his spin, along hips, over delightful ass.

"I'll call it a room if you call me darling again."

"Mm, okay. Sex room it is." He steps back, away, to the closet. "Do you want to be strapped in or have your limbs free? And the next choice: paddle or my hand?"

"I'll pick one of your selection if I switch over. And I won't tell you when it's coming if I do."

He picks one that says slut on it, given that Loki has expressed an enjoyment of the word. Sets it aside when he comes back over to his boyfriend and starts adjusting the straps, wrists first, then ankles. Knowing that Loki will speak up if it's too tight or too loose.

He leans over Loki, enough that his semi-harness pushes against soft flesh, so he can kiss a few vertebrae.

"I like it when you're loud. Hope you never get complaints from your neighbors."

He straightens just enough to give a nice swift smack to the meat of Loki's ass.

"What was that? I didn't quite catch that." He kneads that spot for a moment. Then spanks the opposite cheek. "You might have to speak up." And a pair of slaps further.
