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 The link she sent him takes him to a rather outdated looking webpage for the "TVA Salon and Spa", an older establishment that apparently started in the 50's as a barber shop, but recent made the jump to full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

"'s good." Eyes closed, he simply basks in the feeling of Mobius' hands on him. His ass cheeks sting, a feeling intensified whenever they're touched, but it's a good sting, a tingle of warmth that spreads through the rest of him.
no subject
At last, he makes his way to the cuffs and loosens them. "Get up. You can take your time. And then I want you to kiss me."
no subject
His body rises slowly, turning in the seat to latch onto Mobius (partially for balance, mostly for contact.) His ass burns where it touches the padded bench, but he doesn't even care. His lips find Mobius' for a deep, lazy kiss. It isn't the most coordinated thing, but to Loki it feels amazing.

"Like a pussycat in a sunbeam," he murmurs, pressed against his boyfriend as close as he can.
no subject
"Cute sunbeam." He leans in for a quick peck to the tip of Mobius' nose.
no subject
He pulls back for a moment. "That okay?"
no subject
"Thank you for trying. Means a lot." Feeling a little bit more steady now, he runs his hands down Mobius' back to grip his ass. "Still wanna fuck?"
no subject
no subject
"Does. Here or bed?"

"Mmm, decisions are hard," he pouts. "Both sound too good."

"Love feeling you inside me, can't wait for it again."

"Drawers on the right, second from the top." There are all kinds of lube in various flavors and ingredients.
no subject
The drawer is fit to burst with lubes. He digs out a plain one, and a brand he recognizes. "You live a life of excess, my friend." Good to be prepared, though. Thoughtful to have so much option. At the bed, he marvels at Loki and simply has to keep touching, running a hand up along his side, cupping his face. "I'm glad to be part of it."
no subject
He shivers at the touch, turning his head to press a gentle kiss Mobius' palm. "'m glad too."
no subject
It's only when he takes Loki into his mouth properly that his fingers caress and tease, and ease in slowly.
no subject
"Yes," he breaths at the dual sensation of his boyfriend's warm mouth on him as his fingers slowly make their way past his entrance. It's all so soft yet so heated it makes him dizzy. Without even realizing it, Loki threads one hand into his silver hair.
no subject
Doesn't rush. Takes his time before adding more fingers and more pressure. Every noise Loki makes just fuels his own need.
no subject
"Ready, shit, Mobius I'm ready!" he moans, squirming, trying to get those fingers deeper.
no subject
And the curl of his fingers suggests he's savoring this for a little while longer.
"I could spend all day just eating you up."
no subject
"Please," he whines, doing his best not to buck again when the fingers inside of his curl, hitting just before his sweet spot. Through the fog he can picture it: tied down to the bed, Mobius between his legs, or maybe across the room with a remote in hand. Giving him just enough to go mad, but never enough to go all the way-
Though he knows he's about as flush as he can get, he feels another wave of heat ripple through his body as another breathy moan escapes.
