Luke stayed frozen to his spot until the healer had also left.

"Luke, " Thor called out in a hopeful whisper, his eyes searching the room closely for any sign of movement..

Luke instantly pulled off the cloak and locked the door, before he surged forward to catch his Love's lips in a much needed kiss. Though from the passion of it, it was hard to tell who needed it more.

"I was afraid you'd left," Thor breathed as their lips parted and he held their foreheads together briefly.

"I'll not leave you my love," Luke assured him. "Not ever."

Thor looked sadly at his love, knowing his words were true and feeling guilty for not upholding his same end of that. It would have to be something far more serious than a realm dispute to get him to ever leave his love's side again.

"Don't look at me like that," Luke chided gently as he stepped back a bit, rubbing his arms as he began walking around the room curiously.

"Like what my love," Thor asked following the lean man with his eyes as he explored the room. Looking so out of place amongst these once familiar trappings.

"Like I'm a precious thing made of glass," Luke replied with a slight smile as he paused. "You said you knew I was in trouble?" he asked smoothly guiding the conversation back where he wanted it.

"Yes, I could feel your heart, it was beating so fast.." Thor began, the emotion of the memory welling up in his voice, remembering how desperate and helpless he'd felt, until Luke held up a staying hand, cutting him off.

"But how," Luke asked more specifically.

"The rings," Thor said holding up his hand to show his. Luke looked down at his own, turning the metal thoughtfully on his finger. "They connect us. I can feel you through this."

"Ah, I get it, it's got a pulse rate monitor," Luke exclaimed a bit excited to be figuring it out. "It sends the signal to it's partner and what, vibrates or something? That explains why I awoke thinking you were in trouble as well. Must have been during your little, how did Fandrel put it? Tossle? Very clever my love, I'm impressed." He said now grinning broadly. He paused by the cloak now draped across the bedside chair and ran his hand over the smooth fabric.

"How does that cloak work " he asked eager to learn it's secret..

"It's magic," Thor replied with a smile of his own as he began to eat. Curious how Luke would explain this one away with his science.

"Fine, if you don't want to tell me," Luke spat, his brow furrowing as he looked upon it puzzled for awhile before dismissing it. "I'll figure it out eventually."

"I did tell you, it's magic," Thor chuckled at his love's stubbornness.

Luke sighed, knowing he was going to get nowhere and waved him off as he continued back around the room. Pausing by the open window to lean upon the sill and gaze out at the land stretched before him.

"It's really lovely here, Thor," he said a bit wistfully as he breathed in the clean air. "But the sun is already setting, why I must of slept most of the day." He remarked a bit upset that he could have been here much sooner had he just woken up. "I'm sorry I kept you waiting." He said softly glancing back at his love.

"You're here now," Thor replied simply, earning a small smile from his love in return.

Luke looked back out the window at the colors of the setting sun. The town lights coming on a soft glows as the ringed planet rose on the horizon. Wait! The what?

"Thor, is that a planet," Luke asked stepping back away from the window as astonishment and shocked realization bloomed on his face. His legs suddenly feeling like they might just give out at any minute.

"Ah yes," Thor replied, setting the tray aside as he got ready to reach for his love. This was going to go badly, but there was no point trying to hide the obvious from him. Luke was far too clever for that. "That is Orilla, it's quite visible this time of year."

"Thor, there is no Orilla," Luke said,his voice hollow as he made it back to the bed still wide eyed with disbelief.

"Sure there is, you can see it right out there," Thor insisted calmly as he wrapped his arm about Luke's waist, helping to guide him down upon the edge of the bed and held onto him tightly.

"But you can't see it from Earth," Luke responded twisting to look at Thor with his bright emerald orbs questioningly. Hoping that this was all a jest but knowing it was not. "We're not on Earth, are we?"

"No,"Thor replied gently, his thumb smoothing circles into his love's side, ready to tighten his grip should he attempt to flee. "This is Asgard."

"Asgard," Luke questioned. "As in another planet named Asgard?"

"Well, technically it's a realm."

"I'm dating a space alien," Luke announced in full disbelief and it was a good thing he was sitting down, for his limbs felt suddenly far too far away to move or bear weight.

"I think we've moved well beyond dating, my love," Thor corrected with a smile as he placed a tender kiss to his love's temple.

Luke whirled on him, suddenly serious. "I'm not going to get pregnant am I? I mean, how does all that work with aliens. Oh I can't believe this! This is too much!" he lamented unexpectedly, putting a cool hand to his head.

"It works mostly the same as it does on Midgard," Thor chuckled taking the hand down and holding it within his own. Kissing the back of it tenderly. "Earth." He filled in when Luke just frowned at him.

"Mostly?" Luke questioned. "Is that a yes or a no?"

"Luke, relax," Thor said pulling his love down next to him. "You'll not be getting pregnant." he said omitting that he atleast wouldn't in his current form, mainly because that would only lead to more questions. "Nothing has changed. I may not be from that world, but it does not make me love you any less."

"You're not hiding any extra body parts under there, are you," Luke asked accusingly. "No horns or a tail?"

"Why don't you check for yourself," Thor replied suggestively. A sly smirk painting his lips. If he'd learned anything from Luke, it was how to distract him.

And Luke was actually eager for the distraction. He'd missed his love so much, his touches, the scent of his body. His alien body, his mind wanted to correct. He quickly pushed that away as he moved the covers back, revealing Thor's beautifully tanned skin, naked and waiting beneath the thin blanket . Sliding lithely across it to straddle him, wanting to feel more, wanting to think less. Needing his love to help him with both.

"Are you certain you're well enough for this," Luke asked a bit in concern as he peeled off his own shirt.

Thor ran his hand down the length of Luke's chest and stomach, tracing over every curve of muscle and dip of bone, pausing to pull the button free of his pants with one expert tug. "I've heard a good round of sex actually speeds up healing. Something about endorphins carrying more white blood cells to where they're needed."

"Gotta love those endorphins," Luke purred leaning forward to kiss down Thor's neck and shoulder.

Thor hummed in agreement and ran his palm along the line of the zipper in Luke's pants, earning him a soft moan from the other man as his love canted his hip forward to meet it. He rubbed the gradually firming bulge, delighting at how his love reacted to his touches, pushing against his hand eagerly. Soon having his beloved panting wantonly where his head rested on on his shoulder, his breath hot against his skin as Thor worked him through the far too confining fabric.

Luke couldn't take it much longer, taking it into his own hands, he unzipped his pants and peeled them off, kicking them onto the floor along with his shoes and carefully repositioned himself back in his former position and smiled longingly down at his love. Alien or not, he could not want him less. Thor was certainly aptly named after a god as his well chiseled form and sun kissed skin was certainly enough to still make Luke's heart skip to gaze upon it.

Thor, smiled as he gently helped to guide his love back across him and saw the fruit of his handiwork standing at attention before him. Clear fluid already oozing eagerly from it's tip. Thor wasn't usually one to think overly on body parts, but if his love had anything, it was a far too perfect body. How he had never noticed before, he must have been blind, or foolish to be blind to the prize that was right before him. His smooth form, with rubberband tight muscles, and fine porcelain skin made for such a perfect package. Even his cock was magnificently formed, divinely tall and lean, much like the rest of him and in it's current state, standing like a monument between them, demanding to be worshiped.

Thor obediently took his love's member into his hand and began stroking it gently. Drawing out the strokes slowly as he watched his love preparing himself. His eyes following each movement as though meaning to memorize each sound and expression. Just watching Luke was enough to excite his own need. His own cock, pressing urgently against the inside of his love's thigh. Pulsing with it's own insistence.

Luke of course missed none of this. He knew his love enjoyed watching him and braced himself upon Thor's legs so that he could raise himself up and gently guide his lover inside of him. Throwing his head back and arching a bit as he sank fully upon him. Thor swallowed the emotion in his throat at watching such a display. It was at the same time lude and beautiful, the tight warmth engulfing his own member far too quickly for him to adequately temper his moan. Trying desperately to focus on keeping a steady hand, but Luke made it increasingly difficult. Pulling his feet up beside him and leaning further back as his love raised himself up in a half squat and lowered himself again.

Thor could not stifle the loud groan that escaped his lips this time at the sensation the move wrought upon him. It was mind numbing pleasure, lighting up his nerves in a way he had yet to have felt before. Luke stalled his moves and eyed him, delight and a slight wickedness dancing in his eyes.

"Now, now my love, " he chuckled at him. "You'll need to keep it down or we'll be putting a pillow over your head. Wouldn't want to draw attention, now would we?' he added, his far too toothy wolfish grin that he sported whenever he was about to do something wicked, the only warning Thor got before Luke was once again repeating the action. His tight body, made even more so from this angle, pulling far too perfectly on his shaft as he raised himself back up nearly to the tip before dropping swiftly down again.

As Luke lifted and descended over and over, he quickly reduced his love to a panting mess of a man. Thor was reduced to biting down on his pillow as he fought to stifle the groans and growls of pleasure. His work on his love, lost in his own waves of delight, his one good hand soon dropped to the sheet, gripping it tightly as Luke sped up. Luke taking it upon himself to stroke himself breathily as he moved. Only adding to the gorgeously erotic display before him, the sight making his stomach tighten and pull far too soon for his own liking.

He held out as long as possible, before suddenly clamping his hand down on Luke's hip, pushing him down upon him,trapping his movement as he simultaneously pushed deep inside, spilling his seed with a growl. Luke pulling on his own cock rapidly until he joined him and the last ends of his climax. Thor's eyes watching his love as though he were the most singularly gorgeous creature he'd ever seen.

Luke smiled and eased back forward, kissing his love deeply as he slid off of him. "Now, I think that was exactly what the doctor ordered," he purred with his half lidded gaze.

Taking Thor's napkin from dinner to clean them both up, he was soon slipping into his too tight jeans and donning his smart button down shirt. Closing it absently, until a hand reaching out to caress his stomach stalled his progress. He stepped forward, giving the hand the room it needed to slide around his back and pull him the rest of the way in. Leaning down and kissing his love tenderly.

"Come, lay with me love," Thor urged, smiling as Luke climbed in next to him obediently.

Luke sighed and cuddled up to his love, holding him loosely about his stomach as Thor trailed his fingers gently up and down the length of his bicep. Thinking this all felt like some bizarre dream he'd yet to awaken from. He couldn't get the image of the other planet rising in the horizon out of his head. It's hulking form glowing in a strange blue light as it rose over the golden fields. Those far too familiar golden fields.
