The team all worried for their blonde god member when he stayed quiet for the next week or so. Clint and Natasha had filled them in, so at least they knew why he was being antisocial. What they didn't know was that Thor was coming up with a plan ten times better than the last.
When Kacie did come back from her mission on December 23rd, Thor held off his plan for one day so she could fill him in on the mission. He learned that it went smoothly and that Kacie kicked ass, her words, not his. Before they parted ways, Thor told Kacie to dress warmly tomorrow, because he had a surprise for her. Happily surprised, she said she would and the two went their separate ways, each person jumping with joy when the other was out of sight.
Kacie did just what Thor asked of her and met the Avenger inside of Coffee with Love wearing a coat, scarf, gloves, earmuffs, and boots. She had no idea what Thor was going to do, but hope filled her chest. When Thor finally arrived at the coffee shop, the first thing he did was handed her a beautiful bouquet of an assortment of flowers; amaryllis, red and white carnations, red chrysanthemums, white gardenias, gladiolus, orange lilies, lavender roses, a dozen red roses, tulips and pink camellias. She took it with a shy smile, "Thor, you didn't have to get me anything for Christmas-"
"But I wanted to."
He didn't sit down, instead he motioned for Kacie to stand up, which she did so, no question. He took her free hand in her own, to lead her to his surprise… no other reason. He led her out of the shop and down the snow and slush filled streets of New York City. Because of the time of year, the skies were already a dark blue, but lights of the city lit up the night for everyone. "Close your eyes," Thor instructed as they got nearer to their destination. As silly as it was, she did so. When Thor stopped, he reminded her to keep her eyes closed and he took the flowers from her, setting them down in the nearby snow, "You may open your eyes now."
"Oh my… Thor" She looked around the icy meadow that had a frozen pond in the center. Surrounding the entire pond were tea lights and candles. Rose petals covered the ice in a heart pattern and the whole place screamed romantic. After taking it all in and praying for what she thought this meant, she turned to Thor, "Does this-"
"Please allow me to explain." He waited a minute for some kind of confidence before starting again, "Kacie, I know I have not known you for long, but I feel like I know you better than any of my friends back on Asgard. You make me so happy and… and I don't think I would be this happy without you in my life. What I am trying to say is that I… I love you." He braced himself for the rejection, but it never came.
"I love you too," Her lips were crushed to his and it was gentle yet passionate and it made both their heads spin. The snow was lightly falling, but neither person cared. The need for air became too much after some minutes. Breathlessly, he asked, "Will you be mine?"
"Yes! Yes! A million times yes!" They shared another kiss in the cold winter night
