Author's Note: Hey, look! I can write other ships! Anyway... have me live vicariously by giving Loki my dream mid-life crisis car (except mine would be blue... like, a cerulean blue probably. Or maybe a sapphire blue... hmm). Also, according to my Hubs, it wouldn't be very easy to have sex on top of a car. I don't know how he knows, but he claims that he is assuming it would be. [shrug]

Working the Car Wash

Loki found Anthony out in the driveway of the Malibu Point Mansion strangely early for a Saturday. He was pretty sure it wasn't insomnia related this time, but rather that he wanted to beat the worst of the summer heat and tend to the vehicle he was currently showering water over with the hose. His back was turned toward the garage he emerged from.

That same hose Loki nearly tripped over from not paying attention to where it was snaked and coiled about on the pavement.

He watched with interest as Anthony proceeded to abandon the hose and grab for the bucket of soapy water and the appropriate sponges for the job. Loki wasn't even sure if he noticed him yet standing in the shadow of the house close by observing him yet or not, but he thought he'd wait a little longer before making himself known.

Conjuring a comfortable lounge chair, Loki watched as Anthony sudded the rear side of the shimmering green and gold car, his back still to him, and saw that the white cotton tank top was already soaking wet. Even the white-washed jeans he chose to wear were darkening from the water seeping into the material. Loki barely realized the man was barefoot, too busy picturing him pinned against the hood of the vehicle to register that Anthony tossed a train of soapy bubbles his way from flinging the sponge.

"Looking for a show?" Anthony asked over his shoulder, smirking slightly while lazily swaying his hips.

"I've already got one," Loki responded, flitting his tongue against the corner of his lips.

"Mmm, could be a part of it and help out, maybe?" Anthony suggested, lazily holding out a sponge.

"If I did that then the task wouldn't get done," Loki said but got up anyway and sauntered toward Anthony. "Quite a lovely specimen deserves to be tended to properly, after all."

Loki was looking at Anthony the entire time as he spoke, stopping mere inches from the genius, he accepted the sponge only so Anthony's arm wouldn't interfere with his wanting to be close to him. Before Loki could steal a kiss, however, Anthony turned one hundred and eighty degrees to face the car, gesturing to it as he spoke.

"Glad you like it because I got it for you! The color was a bitch to perfect, but it looks amazing in the sunlight, right? With the gold sheen to it…" he rambled on as he started to wash the roof. "And the shade of green was hard to find."

Loki stood there perplexed before narrowing his eyes to properly examine the vehicle. It did look nice, but he knew nothing about Midgardian transportation. Not really needing to, but knew that Anthony liked his flashy trinkets.

"You got this for me?" Loki asked, swallowing hard at the gesture. "Why? To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Because I wanted to get you something that is beautiful yet functional for you to use when you're here," Anthony explained, grabbing the hose to rinse the soap off before it dried onto the paint. "And it's uh… kind of our anniversary, sort of."

"I don't even know how to operate it, much less know it's… kind?" Loki said slowly, moving around to the front to inspect the horse icon on the front of it.

"That stuff can be easily taught. Besides, once you get used to it, I think you will love it even more," Anthony said almost giddily. "You seem like the type who'd get a thrill out of going fast. Anyway, it's a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback with the top of the line engine it can handle in it, so it really has a nice kick to it."

Loki smirked at that, grabbing the hose from Anthony, he tossed it aside and had the genius pinned to the hood in seconds. He stole the kiss he deliciously craved, feeling the water soaking into his own simple black cotton shirt as he leaned against Anthony. Loki only pulled away just enough to look into those gorgeous amber brown eyes.

"On the contrary, my merchant, I'd thought you knew by now I love to take things quite slow." Loki pressed himself between Anthony's legs then, watching as his eyes rolled back and fluttered closed under dark lashes. "How should I thank you for this lovely anniversary present?"

Loki gave another chaste kiss before grazing his lips down Anthony's jawline to his throat. Anthony gasped quietly, slipping his damp arms around Loki's waist to keep him in place.

"This will do…"
