As Loki's patience began to run thin, so did the crowd behind them. Several of them decided it would be fun to push everyone up to the very front, which caused Loki and Bucky to be squished up against the banister for seconds at a time. Loki just gave Bucky one of those looks that said very clearly, 'if we ever make it out of here alive, I will kill you.'

Bucky just shrugged, or tried to. It was kind of hard when you had 200 pounds of hairspray holding you back. But after they could breathe again a little bit, his friend locked elbows with him, which actually did help them stay together. And with their other hands they kept a sturdy grip on the barricade to keep from floating in the back somewhere with all the other stinky, 80's music-loving fishes.

Thankfully for Loki's sanity, the sun finally began going down which meant it was going to cool off. But as his relief came and slowly dissipated when the crowd behind him began chanting random phrases, and the chants started resembling actual coherent words after a while. "Avengers! Avengers!" He thought he heard some names mixed in there with the added phrases of "- fuck me!" and the likes. Very classy.

Some of the bright lights they had on suddenly dimmed and the stage in front of them, which was huge, lit up. He watched as some of the workers came and went, placing bits and pieces of instruments and the likes on stage. "Is that all theirs?" Loki leaned over and asked his friend, who just chuckled and shook his head.

"Nah, it's the opening act."

Lovely. Loki thought sarcastically. Moreterrible music.

And literally out of the blue, a flash of red came into Loki's peripheral vision, and saw that it was… "Natasha?"

Loki looked around everywhere, curiously, wondering how in the living hell she was able to push through all the crazies to the front of the barricade. "How did you get up here?" Bucky asked, obviously just as astounded as Loki himself. She just shrugged and pulled something out from her ridiculous leather jacket and lit it. Looking closer,

Loki saw that it was a…joint? His mouth watered at just the sight of it. That's exactly what he needed right now, was a nice puff or two to get him through this concert. "Do you care…if-"

Without any hesitation, she handed him the joint after a few rounds.

Yes, Loki could already feel the tension of today leaving his body, and when the first band-opener-whatever Bucky called them were over, he never even realized.

A voice close to his ear asked, "You ready for the best experience of your life?" He turned and looked to Bucky, he could hardly hear what he said for the screaming fans behind him, but raised an eyebrow and smiled anyway and nodded a little. Plus the pot wasn't helping much either with his hatred of this band he didn't know, because with every hit they seemed to keep getting better in Loki's book.

But as soon as the first riffs of the guitar blared out, Loki scoffed.

"Oh how creative, their first song is a cover song." Loki stated bluntly, and quite loudly in his friend's ear, too bad sad friend was too busy cheering his ass off for the band in front of their faces to listen/hear him for that matter. And then Loki instantly hated himself for knowing that song the band was playing was in fact, a cover song. And that he knew it in general.

But Loki looked closer at his friend, and noticed that he wasn't actually cheering at all, but staring, mesmerized at the view in front of him, and for the first time that day, he could say that he was semi-happy he came here, if it was to see his friend light up like it was Christmas morning.

He decided hell with it, and looked up at the stage as well, and he had to admit that it was quite…breathtaking. The flickering red and silverlights…the music, all together it made such a delightful impact, and the crowd behind him began chanting along with the sandy haired bass guitarist who was standing on the other side of the stage chanting "Thunder!" into the microphone, and clapping with his hands, wearing no shirt, but some sparkly suspenders to Loki's amusement, and a purple bandana with some tight leather pants.

There was the brunet drummer wearing a sleeveless green shirt in the back, but not really in the back. He was noticeable, which was nice because usually the drummer was hidden away in the nosebleeds on the stage, but not with this band, which Loki found nice.

And the lead guitarist, whom was standing right in front of the three fans on stage, (Bucky picked the right spot after all to stand) was strumming on his guitar, his signature American flag bandana and scarf, and of course Bucky's eyes were glued to him as though he was the only thing that mattered in the world. He even leaned over the barricade a bit, as if he was hoping for some of his beads of sweat coming down his face would somehow hit him.

Thankfully Natasha saved them from that happening and pulled him back over from jumping the barricade and mouth fucking the musician on-stage.

But Loki noticed something was missing, and it was the lead singer. The lead part was coming up soon, as much as Loki hated to admit, he did in fact know this

ACDC song and the lead part was coming and-

-oh. Well there was his answer.

He popped out of the woodwork, literally. If there had been a way for him to fly in and make a more huge entrance, Loki knows without a shadow of a doubt he would have done it.

But the first thing Loki noticed about the lead singer, besides his mysterious entrance onstage, was that he had to have been already drunk, there was no way he was stumbling around on-stage, endangering everyone around for the hell of it. But who knows, it was the 80s after all. The second thing he noticed was his…attire.

It almost as bad as the bass guitarists outfit, no wait yes it was. It was terrible, all the way down to his black boots and leather clad thighs, and his leather jacket that was zipped up currently, that had metal pieces lining the cuffs and the zipper. I mean what kind of statement was he trying to portray with all that leather anyway? Not that Loki could really complain, considering leather was 50% of his closet. But still. And the black eye-liner he knew was over doing it.

It took less than 5 seconds though and the singer decided hell with the leather jacket, and he basically strip-teased the damn thing off, to the ecstasy of the rest of the fans, and threw it somewhere to the right of the audience. Loki could swear he heard some ripping and tearing in the distance.

But what was more amusing than him strip teasing, was what was hiding underneath that jacket, and yes, it was a sleeveless gold sequined shirt…thing. Loki really had no idea. But to top it all off, the cherry on top was the red hand gloves he was wearing. The kind musicians wore that showed their fingers but covered their palms. Yes because that's exactly how gloveswork, Loki thought irritably.

But when he opened his mouth, well it was very impressive.

More than impressive actually. It was as though God decided to make some weirdly dressed rocker who had the voice of a broken angel come down from heaven and share his gifts with them all.

And the crowd obviously agrees. The uproar went sky-high when the shorter, wavy-haired (no hair-spray?!), singer first opened his mouth. He knew how to play the crowd too. Running up and down the stage like he was some sort of over-excited dog, he would've been wagging his tail overtime by the expression Loki saw on his face. He loved the spotlight. And the spotlight loved him.

Loki really, was impressed if he was being honest. And he was actually enjoying himself. Even more insane, right? But the music wasn't thatterrible, so that did help. Plus the musicians on stage were enjoyable to watch. But for some reason, Loki found his eyes always drawn to that same lead singer who has been hopping all over the stage for the past 2 hours and must be exhausted.

But he showed no signs of slowing down, Loki could give him that. And at some point during their 5th song,Loki had lost count, he somehow managed to rip that sequined shirt of his, and threw that out to the very appreciative crowd as well.

Wolf whistles and cat calls were called, and someone threw something up on the stage? The guitarist himself looked personally offended by the act, and Loki snorted.

The lead singer however picked up the item and looked at it critically, "Who threw a shoe up here?" he asked all seductive like. "Did you think I needed a sole?" The crowd erupted in laughs but practically silenced themselves immediately as soon as he opened his musical mouth again. "I don't have a soul baby, I sold it to rock 'n roll years ago…but" his mouth twitched upwards, "Whatever gets you off, ami'right?"

Loki didn't think it was even remotely possible for a crowd to get any louder, but he was most-certainly wrong on that account. The screams coming from around him and behind him were enough to cause him to go deaf. But, he had to admit the man was cheeky, and knew how to play a crowd with exactly the right words…and the right moves... Loki watched him throw the shoe back into the audience, and heard a group of girls practically tearing each other to shreds to get to it again, before moving back into his previous dancing, his hips swaying ever so seductively to the beat of their own personal song.

And this song was definitely, more sexual. But let's be real here, most of their songs had some sort of sexual connotation to them all. But that's 80s music for you.

The lead singer sang the words, this time with more of a smoother tone to his voice, unlike the rawness and grittier sounding from previously. Versatile singer, indeed.

He recognized this song as well, but couldn't place the original band's name. All he knew about the song was that it was about sex, sex, and…sex. The singer put his microphone in its holder for maybe the first time that night and sang directly to the audience, and ran his fingers down his bare chest and all the way down to his crotch and back up; as though he was singing the song to every single soul there and a shiver went down Loki's spine.

He blamed the pot.

Once the chorus of the song came in, the singer marched himself and the mic stand over to the blonde guitarist (aka Bucky's future husband) and mimicked some pretty provocative poses with him onstage. The guitarist just blushed heavily under the lights and Tony just smirked and winked at him, right as he hit this beautiful sound that sounded impossible to hit. But he did so flawlessly.

It was pretty amazing though, that they could see all of these little things, being this close and all. Loki glanced away from the singer for the first time in a while and looked to Bucky, who didn't seem too thrilled by that stunt and Loki rolled his eyes and nudged him playfully. Bucky looked over at him and a grin betrayed his features as a new song started and the singer made his way back to center stage.

The music was never-ending, song after song, and Loki found himself rocking to the beat, and shaking his hips along with the lead singers, and head-banging along with the bass guitarist. It was all-in-all, an amazing and mind-blowing experience.

And when the lights were shut off and Loki could no longer gaze at the shorter…attractive, it he was being honest, singer, he almost felt a twinge of…disappointment.

And of course the crowd agreed with him. Chants of encore! encore! radiated the stadium, but minutes passed, and no luck in convincing the band. Loki finally looked away and back to the two he momentarily forgot was with him.

But before starry-eyed Bucky could open his mouth to describe in detail every little thing he loved about the performance, Natasha beat him to it.

"So, do you want to know my surprise now?"
