Open Stripper!Loki post (human AU)

[you_have_heart]

[The club is dark and the pulsing strobe lights are sure to overwhelm any who come in from the dark of the outside. There is a main stage where a lithe man twists and turns around a metallic pole, moving with the beat of the music. Surrounding the stage are patrons, some watching silently in rapt attention, other being more vocal in their appreciation of the dancer.

Should you approach the stage you will come up just as Loki sinks down to accept tips tucked into his strangely still-present thong.

Should you wait, Loki comes out into the club about 20 minutes after a platform takes him below the stage. He starts smoozing the crowd.

Told you...this is what I get two weeks before winter break...I've been having nightmares about the final. Thank god it's going to all be on scantron....

[you_have_heart]

At least you will have plenty of free time over the break. I believe Natasha is planning a bar crawl New Years Eve. Also it's our turn to host Christmas.

[Most of their friends either didn't go home for the holidays or didn't have a home to go back too. They made it tradition to congrigate at someone's apartment, eat chinese food, exchange presents, then watch the worst scifi movies of the year.]

[maninatincan]

Just as long as your brother doesn't break our couch like he did last time...I mean really how did he even manage to do that? [Tony sighs and goes back to grade, albeit not quietly.After about three more papers Tony puts his pen away and starts to dress for the bridal party.]
What do you think? Iron Man or Captain America thong?

[you_have_heart]

I will inform him. [Things with Thor and Loki had gotten better, but they were still not to where they were when they were younger. Thor was still in contact with their family, but insisted on spending the holidays with Loki. Luckily being connected to Odin meant all Thor had to do was ask for the money for a new couch.]

The bride's wedding colors are red and gold, so I thought we could go with a color scheme similar.

[Loki flashed his own gold booty shorts.]

[maninatincan]

[Tony nods and dresses, slipping a wine coloured button-down over his shoulders.]
Hmm, which pants? Dress slacks or leather? Too bad I don't have your flowing locks, I could pass myself off as an Ann Rice character....

[you_have_heart]

We could do the businessman-bad boy routine.

[Loki pulls out his own custom made tear-away leather pants]

Dress clothes for you, leather for me?

[maninatincan]

Sounds good to me. [Tony smirks and puts his slacks on, contemplating this reflection in the mirror. He looks over at Loki, getting an eyeful in the process.] Ready to go, hot stuff?

[you_have_heart]

[Loki pulls on a leather vest that is little more than some glorified studded straps and buckles. Still standing he dawns stiletto boots that give him even more of a height advantage over Tony.

He saunters over to Tony and grabs his tie. Hauling him up to that their noses are almost touching he says:]

Are you?

[maninatincan]

[Tony smirks] For you, always.[Shifting to stand on his tip-toes, he moves to nip at Loki's nose.] Shall we?

[maninatincan]

Oh my god. Of all of the people that could have been there tonight it had to be her. [Tony flops dramatically on the couch.] You remember that girl I told you about, the one that keeps hitting on my during office hours? [Tony shivers in a "that's so creepy' way.] That was her....

[you_have_heart]

Yes, I could see how uneasy you were. [Loki flops on the other end, their legs tangling together in the middle of the couch.] Thus why I took her and gave the bridesmaid to you. You know you might have to switch classes now though.

Wouldn't want things to get awkward.

[maninatincan]

It's only two more weeks, and of that only a two more lectures, and I can avoid her during office hours. [Tony shifts so that he is snuggling into Loki's side, using him as a life-size teddy.] Hmmm....I need to shower. [His eyes start to droop and he unwillingly lets out a jaw-cracking yawn.]

[you_have_heart]

[Loki gently places an arm around Tony. They were not in a relationship, but both enjoy physical contact, so he doesn't mind snuggling up to Tony]

Yes, you do. You wreak.

Perhaps in the morning though? Tomorrow is laundry day so sleeping dirty will not hurt anything.

[maninatincan]

[After the word wreak, closet-cuddler Tony became dead to the world, shifting slightly and giving an occasional mumble.]
Can we send the pony home, jgahaphguie....cats...jlkghiosh....

[you_have_heart]

[Loki sighs but smiles, picking Tony up in a display of strength that one might not expect of him. He puts his roommate on his bed as gently as possible and goes to work stripping off Tony's shoes, pants and shirt, knowing the man likes sleeping in his boxers.

Poor guy still isn't use to the late nights.]

[maninatincan]

[Tony shifts, curling around the first thing he can find, which is was a all of the pillows on the bed.]
Loki?

[you_have_heart]

[Loki's just removed his pants when Tony speaks]

Yes, dear?

[The term of endearment was something Loki did not invoke often. They had made it very clear between the two of them that they were not in any sort of romantic relationship, despite all the physical intimacies they may indulge in from time to time. Still, Loki couldn't help but let the term slip in the more quiet moments such as this.]

[maninatincan]

[Tony uncurls himself from the pillows and makes grabby hands towards his roommate. Seeing that student tonight had awoken an old memory that he didn't want to think about yet, and noted to himself to bring it up with his therapist later that week.]

[you_have_heart]

Tony, use your words.

[Loki teases as he strips off his shirt and pants. Even though he's teasing him he sits on the bed anyways.]

[maninatincan]

[Tony makes grabby hands again, trying to drag his roommate into the bed.]
Lokiiiiiiiii, come to beeeeeeeeeeeeed.

[you_have_heart]

[Honestly, Loki doesn't know why they just don't move into a one bedroom apartment. They hardly ever sleep apart and it would save them money.

Still he crawls under the covers, enveloping Tony in his long arms.]

Better?

[maninatincan]

[Tony hums in contentment, snuggling into Loki's side, falling back to sleep in moments.]

[maninatincan]

[Several hours later Tony awakes in a cold sweat, memories blinding his sense of reality. Blindly groping about he makes his way to the bathroom, on the verge of dry heaving.]

[you_have_heart]

[Loki wakes with a stat when he feels Tony suddenly spring from the bed. Quickly he stumbles after him, instinct taking over as he follows the other into the bathroom.]

Tony, it's okay. It was only a dream.

[He gently rubs circles into the other's back]

I'm here, don't worry. It's only Loki.

[maninatincan]

[Tony takes several deep breaths, hanging his head over the toilet.]
Sorry, I just....fucking dreams. [Tony wraps his arms around himself, trying to physically protect himself from the emotional turmoil coursing through his system.]
I thought I was over that guy.
