"So you're the God of thunder? King of Asgard, Thor, right?" Steve said questioningly, circling the Asgardian whilst eyeing his features. "Fury said we wouldn't be seeing you but clearly he was wrong…" He held out his hand a gesture for handshake, "Welcome aboard."

"Thank you, I take that we will get acquainted in the nearest future." He said, taking Captain's hand and shaking it lightly but with strength. "Where exactly will this vessel of yours take us?"

"It's headed for S.H.I.E.L.D's Helicarrier." Steve answered, looking directly into Thor's Caribbean blue eyes. For a moment he didn't move, too lost in those beautiful eyes until one of Thor's eyebrows rose in a teasing manner. "Sorry, I space out..." He said, clearing his throat nervously as he focused his gaze on the windowed panels. "Every once in a while."

"I see…" Thor said, his eyes directed at Loki who was sedated as soon as they got to the air. "Tell me, Mister America, what do you plan to do to my brother once we arrive in this fortress you speak of?"

"I think S.H.I.E.L.D. will interrogate him. The whereabouts of the tesseract, what he plans to do with it, you know the usual interrogation protocol and its Captain America not Mister America." He answered casually, looking at Thor with worry. "Do you really think your brother is innocent? I mean with the things he's been doing do you really think he's still the sam-"

"Silence!" Thor voiced out. Everyone's eyes were on him, an awkward type of silence emitted, something Captain was startled genuinely. "You do not know a thing about me or my brother or what we have been through. It is best if you keep to yourself, Mister America." He grunted.

"I said its Captain… and I'm sorry, I shouldn't have intruded." Steve looked away. For most of the ride they kept silent, exchanging small glances at each other's back. Steve couldn't help but feel some kind of connection towards the King of Asgard, is it because he could relate to the denial he's been feeling ever since they thawed him out? Or maybe something much more intimate, something he's lost once because his was too blind to even see it unfold before him.

"So you decide to finally butt in didn't you? Thor." Fury remarked, handing Thor documents about the tesseract. "We didn't expect you so we didn't bother to get you any accommodation." He added sarcastically, faking a smile.

"A true Asgardian can withstand days without sleep." Thor vouched, standing proudly at the one-eyed man. "I do not need an-"

"Stop with the whole 'Asgardian' thing already, feel free to bunk in with anybody you want. Except for Stark, you wouldn't want to bunk with him. Trust me." Fury left, immediately resuming to his business on the electrical panels on the deck.

"'Bunk'? I do not 'bunk' with anybody." He mumbled to himself, reading the information on the documents handed to him.

For some reason, Thor didn't take seriously the documents and after reading all of them, he didn't understand a bit. He only knew two things, and that's to get back the tesseract and his little brother safely. Already it was dark and only the personnel who kept the Helicarrier in the air were the only ones left. Thor didn't want to admit it but he was getting sleepy, the long journey to Earth had him light-headed.

"Hey, you sleepy yet big guy?" Steve said warmly, his hand placed on Thor's shoulder guard.

"I am not sleepy. Do not bother me Captain, you need your rest." Thor said weakly, vertigo overwhelming him.

"As do you. Now, c'mon you can share with me." He ordered, waiting for Thor to get out of his seat.

The dizzy sensation proved too much even for an Asgardian like Thor and it sent him down on his knees. Luckily, Steve was there and he was able to lift him up just before he got an implant to the face.

"You shouldn't push yourself." Steve said, adjusting Thor's arm over his shoulders as he guided him to his room. Thankfully, Thor's leg were still walking although they looked like they were slumping Steve couldn't argue. At least he didn't have to carry all of Thor. As they reached the end of the corridor, Steve gently opened the door with his free hand and lifted the worn out Asgardian on his bed. Thor flopped on the bed seemingly unconscious and Steve took this as a great opportunity to remove Thor's armour without any complaints from the Asgardian. Slowly he flipped Thor on his back and began to fondle with the armour's lock but it was proving much too difficult since he's never seen armour like this in his whole life.

Even though he knew it was a bad idea, he had to wake Thor to tell him how to remove it. "Thor, Thor wake up. You need to tell me how to take this armour off." He said softly, almost like a whisper.

"Captain… pull me up." Thor asked his hands in front of Steve's face. Steve took hold of Thor's hands and made him sit up as he waited for Thor to tell him what to do.

"Raise my arms and… No, no I can do it myself." He said, lazily lifting his armour from his waist upwards. It looked like he was drained of power, Thor couldn't even manage to lift his armour up.

"Here let me." Steve interfered, but as soon as he hooked his fingers on the rim of Thor's armour, they were slapped away. "What are you doing?" He asked angrily, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Thor's face.

"Captain, this weakness is unfit for an Asgardian. I'll shame myself if I let you do this." Thor admitted slowly. Steve knew pride was something to be protected but this, this is too much.

"Thor you have nothing to be ashamed of, not from me." He countered, hooking his fingers on Thor's armour once again. "Now, let me."

"Very well." Thor surrendered, he lifted his arms wavily as Steve lifted the armour with ease revealing Thor's ripped muscles. Thor then let his body fall back down to the cushions as Steve placed the armour beside a table.

"W-What are you doing?" Thor asked surprised. Steve was taking off his boots one at a time and placing them near the armour.

"Pants and boots, you need them off too." Steve answered casually as he removed Thor's last boot.

"You are lucky I am unable to get up and give you punishment." Thor said, sighing as he let Steve unbuckle his pants and pull them down revealing his loincloth.

Steve folded Thor's pants neatly as he took off his own clothing down to his boxers. He slid easily next to Thor's as he covered both of them with the blanket. Steve turned his back against Thor's side as he sighed closing his eyes.

"Do you feel lonely?" Thor whispered, his head tilting to gaze at Steve's body. "I heard you have been frozen for 70 years."

"Sometimes, I get used to it once every now and then." Steve answered sadly. He still couldn't get over the fact that everyone he knew was all dead. It was heart wrenching and blood boiling at the same time.

Steve didn't notice Thor's arms wrap around his waist pulling him against the Asgardian.

"I'm sorry for what has happened." Thor said. Those words hit in hard, Thor said them emotionally like he actually cared and knew what Steve was feeling, and those words were enough for Steve to turn towards the Asgardian tuck his head into the other's chest and cry.

Thor let Steve cry for that night, he knew what the Captain felt. The Asgardian pulled Steve in closer as he placed a chaste kiss on Steve's forehead before letting himself be taken by sleep.
