#queue the lightning

back on asgard, he’d been used to a certain kind of life style, one that he’d been trying to reign back on since relocating to midgard. he’d learned during his pursuit of the smaller man, that throwing jewels, gems and gold at him wasn’t exactly the best move, at least... if it weren’t done in moderation. it’d been a while since he’d felt that itch and considering the momentous occasion, he’d sprung for a pendant, one that held the color of the birth stone for the month their unborn child was due. 

❛ close your eyes, beloved, ❜ he murmurs, walking up to, raising his hands to place the necklace around his neck, chuckling slightly when he sees alec shiver. once he’s made sure the clasp is secure, he whispers to alec to open his eyes. cobalt eyes are alight with joy as he sees alec look at it and when he’s asked why he was gifted the necklace, the asgardian hands his husband a letter. all of the suspense, all of the waiting, it was all worth it when he sees those happy tears shine in alec’s eyes. easily, he catches him in his arms and beams down at the brunette. ❛ oh, but my love, i did... tis but a small way to repay you for what you are doing for us, ❜ he murmurs just as soft, leaning in, he nuzzles his nose before stealing his lips in a deep kiss.

pulling away finally, he rests his forehead against alec’s. ❛ i love you, alexander... and i vow to keep you and our unborn child safe, ❜ the god promises, leaning in to press another kiss to his lips.

❛ i’d never let you starve, ❜ he grumbles out before kisses, groaning when he felt those slender hands find their way into his hair. thor can’t resist letting out a short whine when he feels the tug. if alec were honestly wanting to leave the house, the last thing he should’ve done, was go for the hair, because now all the alpha wanted to do, was strip him bare and show him exactly how he’d gotten alec pregnant in the first place. whining slightly, he presses a few last kisses before he gets to his feet once more, ❛ you owe me more time when you’re home, ❜ he warns without heat, before he’s stealing a deep and intense kiss and patting alec on the bum to send him on his way out the door.

❛ don’t forget the whip cream! ❜ he calls out from the doorway once alec had made it to his car.

he was all too happy to pick him up and sling him over his shoulder, carrying him off to his their room. chuckling, he adjusted his hold on alec momentarily as they wound their way through the base. ❛ this is true, but i do quite like the feel of you in my arms, ❜ he replies at first and groans at the next few words out of his lovers mouth. ❛ you are purposefully teasing me now, ❜ thor grumbles, picking up his pace. soon enough they’re at his door and the god’s throwing alec down on top of the bed, quickly climbing on to cover him with both his body and kisses. ❛ oh, how i have missed you, ❜ the asgardian mumbles between kisses, rolling his body down, chuckling softly as he replies, ❛ and so it seems that you’ve missed me, too. ❜ raising up on one arm, thor looks down at alec and gently touches his face, ❛ hello, beloved, ❜ he finally says in greeting with a soft smile tipping his lips.

standing before her now, he murmurs it softly, but with the way she’s looking up into his eyes, he can tell she’s definitely heard him. cobalt eyes continue to lock onto her own icy blue, spotting that lip bite out of the corner of his eye as she tries to deflect. nodding, ❛ while i will admit you are breathtaking, ❜ he reaches out to grasp her hand to lay it over his heart, ❛ as you can feel for yourself, mine is beating steady. ❜ the one thing the asgardian is uncertain about, is how she’ll react... he doesn’t know if she’ll shut him out completely, or get angry, or ask him to leave. he knows what he’s hoping for, he’s just not sure she’s ready for it yet. slowly, he releases her hand and gingerly takes a step back to afford her the space he was sensing she needed.

❛ you may want to ask yourself why your heart only seems to beat that fast... when you’re around -- ❜ he pauses, letting the sentence hang there as he studies her briefly, ❛ me. ❜ and with that, he leaves the room to go find something to eat.

he’d figured out fairly early on, that alec needed time and most definitely patience if he were going to open up to him. so that’s precisely what thor had given him, the time and space to do so. thor barely suppressed the shudder that threatened to wrack his body when he feels alec start to nuzzle him before finally answering. breathing out slowly, he wills his body to relax, to not react to the welcomed heat of the younger man in his arms. ❛ that’s alright... as long as you’re comfortable now, ❜ he murmurs, reaching with his opposite hand to bring up his email. he’s careful to be as quiet as possible, so as not to disturb the omega who was currently trying to fall asleep in his arms.

a bit of time passes before he see a video call come through and he accepts it without really thinking, just casually glancing up at the screen on the wall as he answers. thor’s so engrossed in discussing the reports that he doesn’t even realize why so many of his employees seemed to be staring. and without even thinking about it, thor’s nuzzling alec back when he feels him shift in his arms.

there are only so many times he could witness his brother’s death without it taking a toll on him. of all the ways it’d been done, this one was the most surreal, most devastating, most -- cruel. to see him standing here before him now, has the blonde’s blood boiling in his veins. it’s not a surprise that the air surrounding them was cackling with static. the excitement he might have experienced at seeing the brunette still alive, was dulled by the pure rage he felt. cobalt eyes narrow as loki explains himself, his frustration growing when it seems that the other was intent on not looking him in the eye. exhaling heavily, he rolls his shoulders back, ❛ -- we all failed. ❜ him in particular, since he’d failed to go for the head when striking at thanos. 

out of everyone, gaby had always been able to read him like an open book, which is why he doesn’t say anything when she shoots him a look. all of this would have never happened had he not be caught and sent to try his hand at the sword. he’d never wanted to rule, no... he liked the smidgen of power he held back in londinium, but alas, that was all behind him now. cobalt eyes watch her carefully as she plucks the sword from the water and starts to speak. accepting the sword, he looks into her eyes as she stands just underneath him, leaning into the hand at his cheek. getting caught up in the moment, he picks her up and pins her to the underside of the bridge, kissing along her neck once they were settled. kissing her deeply after her assertions, the blond gently nips at her lips and pulls back, pressing his forehead to hers in the process. ❛ and you are mine, ❜ he answers back in a whisper. ❛ but, i don’t know how to be -- their king, ❜ thor admits. ❛ how am i to lead? when i am lost? ❜ these words he only offers up, now that they aren’t looking into one another’s eyes and are somewhat shielded from the others.
