I'm a man capable of multitasking. ٩(๑`^´๑)۶ Shocking, I know. How about you send me a picture and I'll send you one?
There are, like, 4 of them, and I think they're making a new one. But you can watch just the first two; those are the best ones. Oh and one with the cat called 'The last Wish'. The villain is so cool in that one.
I'm not confirming nor denying anything. But this is what my hoodie looks like. [ >Image attached: willyounowshutup.jpg ]
No, no I do not. What is there to eat that it isn't food, uh..
[ So far, doing a good job embarrassing his, Loki. ]
There are nicer comparisons; why do you have to say it like that? [ Loki, please. ] But yes, kind of.
At least 3 hours. Besides, you like cats, and this one sounds like a hot Spaniard; it wouldn't be a chore.
Oh. Thanks; that's high praise coming from you.
[ Well, he is not not thinking about it now. Damn it, this is awkward. ]
I think you would make fun of me no matter my answer. Also, you seem very sure of how much I would enjoy it, considering it is also implied I'd be doing most of the work.
[ And maybe Lin Lie has a bit of an oral fixation and biting kink, but Loki has to read him to filth like that!
[But, as a sign of good faith etc etc, a selfie will come popping across, featuring an incredibly pouted lower lip (and, in the background, a slightly blurred riot of colors, because someone is still mucking around with outfits).]
Not a chore, but certainly requiring a bit of schedule clearing.
I'm harsh but always more or less fair. About this.
[ Ok, he can't think of a better comparison, but there must be some out there.
Oh! That gets Lin Lie chuckling. Loki could put the Cat in Boots to shame with that face game. That is quite a lot of outfits too.]
I admit that such a cute pout can get you to places.
[ What's fair is fair, so Lin Lie sends back a photo of his own. He's making big puppy eyes at the camera, long lashes on display since he's not wearing the Iron Fist bandana mask. And to show he really is in K'un Lun still, a group of pandas can be seen playing in the background.]
That I understand. The next time you get bored and have free time, it's Shrek time.
That's comforting at least. This kind of thing doesn't work without all the participants being equal.
[ Or so he thinks; he doesn't exactly have a ton of experience. ]
Uhm. Maybe.
[ Why do you have to be riiiiight? ]
I suppose if I had to choose someone to try this with, you would not be the worst option.
[ Being ridiculous he can do easily. Being charming by accident is an accidental welcome plus, so he will take it. Lin Lie's also keeping that picture of Loki and doesn't even want to admit to himself why. He just does it. ]
I am terribly aware of both of those facts. It's still fine. [ Loki wouldn't be Loki if he didn't do those things, It's part of the deal.]
Oral Sex is an art?
[ Plz give him some leeway, he's new at this and bad it. He's always been more of a man of action than works. ]
More than a few people, but on top of that list would be Namor.
Do I love being unexpectedly bothered and teased endlessly by an Asgardian god? [ Perhaps, if only because it's entertaining in a way. Loki doesn't need to call him out on it >:X. ] Right.
[ That pause in the texting makes it so he can imagine Loki laughing. Rude. ]
I just never thought of it that way, that's all. Do you really consider yourself such a work of art that I should worship you on my knees?
I don't hate him; I just don't like how mean and prideful he is. You're wittier than he is and more...pleasant to the eyes.[ And that's as far as Lin Lie will go offering compliments. This is embarrassing enough. ]
That's surprisingly mature and insightful. And so hard to do, I think we both can admit that. [ Lin Lie doesn't like lying; so he rarely does it. He is also shit at it and has no poker face. But since he also rarely likes to talk about his feelings, he keeps quiet about certain subjects, and that's almost just as bad as being deceitful. ]
Much more? Of course you'd enjoy begging.
[ We just keep unlocking kinks, don't we? ]
That I can agree with. It's nice to feel desired. [ Oh that's so not fair, how is he supposed to focus on anything when he keeps getting nice things to look at? Those damn pursed lips look a little kissable, damn it. ]
I can pout too, you know. [ As proof, he sends Loki a selfie that is totally not an excuse to show him in the training outfit he's wearing from that angle, no sir. ] You're just trying to mess with my head, and I need to take a quick shower before we can met. Stop distracting me.
[ And have one last picture, that he will probably regret sending later. ]
Kinda. You do give plenty of 'I like to be in charge' vibes, but also, it's obvious you also want to be treated like a princess.
[ See how many good things 'being nice for a day' can get you, Loki. ]
Yeah, not happening. [ aldskjasd, Loki. ]
See ya in a bit, if you finish choosing the formal outfits you wanna torture me with.
[ Okay have one last photo, and for once he's not wearing the bandages in his arms, so the dragon tattoo is visible. He will go to Shangain, once he's done showering. ]
Well ok hi there, actually distracting photo. Isn't that all very interesting to be texted in almost the same breath as being told one won't be thought of in the shower.
Just all very interesting, fascinating stuff that derails all but the most important piece of the responsive text.]
Darling, I *am* a princess.
[Also very interesting, of course, is letting himself into Lin Lie's apartment in Shanghai with garment bags in tow. Getting in early means actually sneaking a crack at some of the books on the bookshelves, after all.]
[ The reply comes 10 minutes later, once he's done with the shower. Loki calling him darling makes Lin Lie feel some kind of way, but he tries not to think too hard about it. ]
And I have dragon chi in me; it doesn't mean I want to hoard riches or bite people.
[ Well, on second thoughts. ]
Okay, I don't want to hoard riches.
I'll be there in 5.
[ If Loki is going to snoop around, he could make tea! As for the books, there are some unique tomes, in different states of preservation, most of them related to Earth's history and their myths. There's also a smaller section of fictional novels, a lot of them thrillers or mysteries, ranging from Agatha Christie to John Grisham.
When Lin Lie makes it there, his hair is still damp, and he's changed into clothes that will be less eye-catching in the city than in K'un Lun—his favorite jacket and black form-fitting jeans. ]
[It's a good thing Lin Lie corrects himself, because finding Agatha Christie means Loki is absolutely done checking his phone. Not a chance in heck of making tea or even laying out the clothing properly, because who can think of such things when Miss Marple has crimes to solve?
But none of that means that Lin Lie should get away with pretending he's not a biter.
There's quite a bit of owlish blinking when the Asgardian's reading is interrupted by the book owner's return. It's possible that the haze of a real-life pout is lingering at the corners of Loki's lips as he carefully sets the book back--not where he found it, obviously, but certainly in the vicinity.]
[ Agatha Christie is an excellent choice and her stories being enjoyed even by Asgardians surprises him only a little bit. He just smiles when he catches Loki with the book, tilting his head to identify the title and raising an inquisitive eyebrow. ]
I didn't know you liked Whodunnit stories. I'm more of a Poirot guy myself, but Miss Marple is also very entertaining.
[ He suspects that the book Loki is reading might get mysteriously 'displaced' by the end of their meeting. Such things happen. ]
Can anyone truly be prepared for you? Nah, part of the fun is to be surprised. So...where do you want me to start?
[And who can say how many similar works won't mysteriously go missing? Or, since he's been so gallantly invited, how often Loki won't simply take it upon himself to sit here and enjoy a bit of reading? The floodgates are all open.
Also open is the bag Loki's now bending over and rummaging through. Of the riot he'd been picking through, it's clear that mostly greens and golds have made the cut to travel from Asgard.
Classics for a reasons, right?]
Are you going to be precious about changing in privacy?
You don't know cake pops, but you know an English writer from last century. A man of beautiful contradictions.
[Lin Lie has already read every book and manuscript, and there's no one else. Better to have someone like Loki enjoying what the house, and perhaps Lin Lie, has to offer. It almost makes it feel like a home again.
He starts to take off his jacket as Loki fishes for the first choice of clothes. They're nice colors, they both like green, and even from a distance Lin Lie can tell the fabrics are good quality. ]
Are you aiming to sneak a peek for free?
[ He tries to sound playful, but there's a tint of punk color blooming in his cheeks. It's silly; it's just changing clothes like in the gym, but well. There's Loki.
...
He tugs his shirt off after a moment. ] Okay, what do you have for me?
[That's something to muse over as he digs among the fabric. One hundred years really wasn't such a terribly long time in the comparatively-immortal scheme of things, but it does twist something in his core to consider. Midgard was funny like that.
It's an idle sort of question, most of his attention on pulling out a mess of green on green on green--a fairly modern, fairly western suit in lightweight fabric, trimly tailored; a neat Oxford shirt in a warmer tone, a midweight scarf to pull it all together. The only real interruption comes from the need to shoot a brief brow over his shoulder at the first joking question.
It's just all very bold after flashy skin selfies, surely.]
These. [The pants and shirt are offered first as he keeps digging for a belt.] Tell me if you think something's going to rip.
[He is, after all, now aggressively aware that Lin Lie has Shoulders(TM).]
A little over that, even, since she was born in 1890. Time flies when one's immortal, uh?
[ Sometimes it's weird to think about their age difference because most of the time it really doesn't register to Lin Lie. One day, he might be gone for real, and Loki could still be looking like he does now. If that happens, he hopes that the next Iron Fist that comes after him makes a point to befriend Loki as well. Maybe he should leave that annotated in the Iron Fist book when he writes his own story down. ]
That's a lot of green alright, even for you. But it seems lightweight and nice, and before Loki fully hands it to him, he runs the back of two fingers over the fabric, feeling it and totally ignoring that look Loki threw it at him.
If he wants to keep getting occasional photos like the ones before, it's better now to bring them up when they're talking in person.
Okay, yes…one moment. [ He's going to put on the shirt first so he can have his arms free to work on the pants, but he's going to leave it unbuttoned for now. It's already fairly snug on his arms; it might not even fit his pecs. Lin Lie is now very scared of flexing an arm and ripping a sleeve by accident.
He leaves his jeans in a nearby chair after managing to step out of those and end up in nothing but his navy blue boxers without tripping or looking at Loki. He needs a moment to remind himself why he's doing all this, and he's decided already that if Loki comments on his underwear, he's throwing the jeans at the god's face. ]
[There's a non-committal hum at the question. It's always difficult to square with Midgardians that he's nearing 1,000 years of life but still just coming to the end of his relative youth. (It's also a very strong reason not to notice when Midgardians have really excellent lats--but really, gods have eyes.)
Loki should be rewarded, all the same, for using his eyes now for artistic criticism, head cocking to one side with a slight squint in his gaze as Lin Lie changes. Good color, good cut; not a good fit.
Politely, he'll wait until the pants are fully on before stepping closer.] Don't move.
[His tongue catches between his teeth as he moves closer, the (perhaps familiar, now) cool of his magic vibrating from his fingers as he tugs at the cuffs, the hems, the panels of the fabric, willing more carefully into existence for more space in the arms and shoulders.]
[ Lin Lie had learned that age is not much of a factor when it comes to heroes, gods, and the like, so he doesn't concern himself much with it. Pants on, although unbuttoned, he stays still when Loki demands it. Lin Lie only keeps his hands slightly raised so that the other man can adjust the clothes as he sees fit. Seems like someone's not bad at following orders.
There's a tension to his shoulders that goes away the moment the clothes fit loose enough for him to be properly comfortable. He beams at Loki for the change. ]
I wish I had your powers. Fixing clothes so easily is a dream; you don't want to know how often clothes get dirty or ruined when you're fighting demons with large claws.
[ Lin Lie is all too happy to offer sincere praises to Loki's magic abilities. Credit where credit is due. He still hasn't moved, which means his chest is still on display for Loki to stare at if he wishes or to finally button up the shirt. ]
Do I look presentable enough for your tastes now? Should I do a little spin?

So how many hours are you going to insist I watch your ogre and cat?
Honestly not awful. 👍
I think you do, and I think you're thinking about it now, and I think you're thinking you'd like it xx
[Listen, he was so nice to Wanda for h o u r s. Being a little shit is all pent up in his system. It needs to come out.]

Careful. I get bored remarkably easily, and often in the middle of other people's emergencies.
It's the only way to be with art.
[but also gurl get out of here with this "maybe" nonsense,]
Who *would* be the worst option?

[Toleration feels a lot like love, at any rate. Loki will take it. He'll also take several long, laughing breaths before responding to the rest.]
It absolutely is an art. Did you think it would be a science?
Lucky me to be beating out your most hateful nemesis.

Oh, absolutely. Everyone should x
[Is it sexy or is it baby's first impulse to demand the realms kneel? Who knows!]
I mean, you're right to say it xxx
no subject
[ Kinda worrying too, but he expected nothing different from Loki. ]
Well, you sure talk big, but so far that's all your artistic prowess is, Loki. All talk and hypothethicals.
I think that if everyone did it, you'd end up chafed.
[ Look, he's trying to make jokes about this too. Further proof that Loki is a terrible influence. ]
I'm not stroking your ego anymore. Or stroking anything else.
no subject
[Or whatever. (He doesn't like it, but he does sort of get where all this "god of lies" nonsense came from, sometimes.)]
You'll have to ask much more politely for a hands-on demonstration.
Well, everyone can kneel. Being wanted is half the fun.
[Presumably since the last photo was so effective, have another quick pouting selfie in response to that last bit, buddy.]
no subject
Much more? Of course you'd enjoy begging.

no subject
That's got to be in the top ten least surprising things about me, surely.
[But, you know. Always nice to feel seen.
And always nice to see casual flirting get rewarded with surprise thirsty rewards. Just a good day all around.
So, you know.]
Think of me in the shower xx
no subject
