***On a really hot day in the tower***
Pietro: Tony put a shirt on.
Tony: No.
Steve: if you don't put a shirt on I'll take mine off.
Tony: Be my guest.
Bucky: Please do!
Steve: *takes off his shirt*
Thor: I shall join your mortal tradition! *removes his shirt*
Loki: Thor what's that on your back?
Thor: I got a tattoo every time you died.
Steve: are we supposed to just stand here shirtless or is Tony gonna get dressed
Tony: ha! no chance *openly checking out Steve and Thor*
*everyone turns to Bucky*
Bucky: no.
Nat: Why?
Bucky: You fucking know why!
Steve: ...Bucky, why?
Bucky: Scars geniuses.
Pietro: *takes his shirt off to reveal multiple bullet scars (Loki was a good guy in Ultron and healed him with magic)*
Wanda: *not looking up from her book* That didn't mean you were supposed to take your shirt off.
Loki: Bucky will you help me with something for a minute
Clint: is it how to wash your hair? OW! YOU CAN'T JUST THROW KNIVES AT PEOPLE!!
Loki: I can and I did. *leaves with Bucky*
*they go to Loki's room*
Bucky: what did you need help with?
Loki: Nothing, I was just getting you out of an uncomfortable situation.
Bucky: oh, thanks.
Loki: though, there is one other thing. You're not the only one with scars. *rolls up sleeves*
Bucky: what happened to you?
Loki: Abuse and self hatred. Much the same as you I'd presume.
Bucky: Well... yeah. Doesn't help that Hydra branded my trigger words and "property of Hydra" on my back. Steve thinks they're all from Hydra.
Loki: ...I convinced Thor that mine were all from Laufey, Odin and Thanos. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm a better listener then you might think.
Bucky: Thanks man.
Loki: I like you, you're a good friend and I care about you more then I do most Avengers.
Bucky: look, we both clearly care more about other people then ourselves, so I'll make you a deal. If you stop hurting yourself, I will too.
Loki: I can agree to that deal, but I doubt it'll be easy for either of us.
Bucky: That's why we're gonna be there for each other.
Loki: Alright. Deal
*they shake hands because they're both old fashioned and formal*
Loki: on a less serious note, how do you wash your hair? It's so fluffy.
Bucky: Steve's conditioner. I'll ask him where he gets it from.
