"Is This Okay?"
“I’m sorry can you repeat what you just said?” Bucky asks staring at Loki across the gym. Loki is wearing a pair of loose fitting yoga pants that show off every muscle and curve so well Bucky has to wonder if they were painted on.
“I said, put me in a headlock with your metal arm,” Loki says turning his back to Bucky and stretching out his neck.
“That’s what I thought you said. Have you lost your mind?”
“Not recently no. Now stop wasting time. You promised to help me train and I want to practice getting out of a headlock,” Loki says and Bucky sighs. His friends are so weird.
“Is this okay?” Bucky asks carefully wrapping his arm across Loki’s throat and tightening his grip.
“Perfect,” Loki purrs and they spend hours learning every single way to get out of the hold and by the end of their workout both of them are laying on the ground, breathing heavy with a thin layer of sweat drying on their skin.
“You know, if I were a lesser man his whole thing would make me suspicious,” Tony says walking into the gym to start his yoga.
“What possible benefit could yoga give you Tony?” Bucky says trying to distract himself from thinking about what Tony just implied they were doing.
“I have five husbands Bucky. I have to make sure I stay flexible,” Tony says and Bucky makes a soft screeching noise.
“Must you be so crass Darling? You’ve gone and broken poor James,” Loki says sitting up on the mat to observe Bucky’s reaction.
“Sorry Bucky. But you’d need to be limbered up a bit if you were in my shoes,” Tony says.
“Darling I do not believe he shares you enjoyment of taking all we give,” Loki says and Bucky is off the mat as fast as he feet will take him and he runs for the door.
“Thanks you for the workout. Goodnight,” Bucky says as he goes baseball style sliding through Stephens portal right onto his bed.
Sometimes, he hates his friends.
