The next morning, Thor and Loki made their way to the kitchen for breakfast. Apparently everyone else was still in bed, so Loki gathered some eggs and bacon and started to make breakfast. While he was frying the bacon, Thor came up behind him and wrapped his arms around him. He was smiling like a dork in love. Loki turned to give him a sweet kiss on the lips. Thor breathed in the scent of Loki's hair that was still a mess from last night.

"I do not think I will ever be able to stop touching you."

Loki was about to say something when Clint interrupted.

"Aw come on guys! Keep it in your pants around the food!"

Natasha's laugh was barely audible as she smacked Clint in the arm. Thor turned around beaming with joy as they grabbed some coffee and sat down at the table.

"Friends! I apologize for leaving the celebration early last night, but Loki and I-"

Loki whipped around and cut him off.

"Thor!"

Then Clint chimed in.

"Whoa there Blondie! I'm pretty sure we can figure out what you two were doing last night. No need for details!"

Thor just smiled proudly and kissed Loki on the cheek before he sat down to join Clint and Natasha at the table. Bruce walked in a few moments later and grabbed a coffee. He noticed the hickies on Thor and Loki. He elbowed Clint and nodded over to them with a questioning look. Clint held up his hands.

"Don't ask. Exactly what you think happened, happened. I already had to stop Thor from sharing the gory details."

Bruce chuckled and then noticed someone was missing. It was normal for Tony to miss breakfast, but not Steve.

"Hey, where's Steve?"

Loki sat the eggs and toast on the table and sat down. Natasha shrugged her shoulders and Clint broke out into a huge grin.

"Now that you mention it, it is weird we haven't seen him yet."

Natasha caught on to what Clint was getting at.

"Clint, seriously, is that all you think about?"

He smirked at her childishly.

"Ten bucks says they come down together."

She rolled her eyes and Bruce gave him a look of agreeance. About ten minutes later a disheveled looking Tony and a shy looking Steve came waltzing into the kitchen. Clint smacked the table and howled.

"HA! Where's my ten bucks Nat?"

Bruce tried not to laugh and gave Steve and Tony an apologetic look. Steve poured coffee for both of them while Tony went to sit down. As soon as his ass hit the chair he winced. Clint fell out of his seat laughing hysterically. It was way too early for Tony to have to deal with this. He rolled his eyes and breathed heavily. Steve walked over and handed him his coffee. He was blushing furiously. Tony would never get tired of seeing Steve blush. He smiled at Steve when he set his mug down and then reached up and pulled him down for a smoldering kiss. Everyone just stopped and stared. When he finally let Steve go he smiled smugly in Clint's direction.

"Yeah, you know that was hot."

Clint snorted and clambered up to help Bruce clean up the plates. Steve was still three shades of red when he sat down next to Tony. Clint, Bruce and Natasha went into the living room and turned on the TV after they cleaned up. Loki and Thor were still sitting at the table finishing their coffees and giving each other little looks. Tony noticed the marks all over their necks and grinned at Loki.

"I see you took my advice last night."

Loki gave Thor a small smile and then looked at Tony.

"Actually, Thor shared his feelings first, which was… surprising."

Tony raised his eyebrow at Thor and then looked between the two of them.

"Now, no lovers quarrels you two. I like my Earth and my fancy tower."

Steve just shook his head and gave Tony a look. Thor grinned wildly and threw his arm around Loki and pressed him to his side.

"Chaos will always follow my brother, but so will I."

Loki couldn't have looked more in love at that moment if he tried. Tony looked over at Steve with a confused look. Steve just gave him a look and shrugged his shoulders. Tony looked back at Thor with an exasperated sigh.

"For some reason that really doesn't put my mind at ease, big guy."

Loki kissed Thor before they got up to go into the living room with the others. Steve and Tony sat there for a few more minutes. Tony smacked Steve on the arm as he stood up.

"Come on, Capsicle."

Steve gave him a half-hearted glare before he stood.

"You know that name is annoying."

Tony pulled him in for a quick kiss before Steve walked toward the living room. He chased him whining.

"But you're my Capsicle!"

Steve couldn't help but laugh as they sat down. Tony snuggled up into his side. Steve smiled and put his arm around him and kissed into his hair.

"Who knew Iron Man could be such a cuddle monster?"

Everyone burst out laughing and Tony looked up at Steve with the most serious look on his face.

"I'm your cuddle monster, baby."

It took a good 10 minutes for everyone to calm themselves and stop the tears of laughter that streamed from their faces. Even Loki was laughing. There was really nothing on TV so Clint had an idea.

"Hey, who wants to marathon Lord of the Rings?"

Thor looked strained his neck to look over at Clint from Loki's lap.

"What is this Lord of the Rings you speak of?"

That was enough incentive for Clint to bolt off the sofa and grab the movies off the shelf.

"It's a bad ass trilogy with hobbits and elves and epic battles and a ring!"

Tony gave him an amused look.

"Calm down, Clint."

Steve looked down at Tony with a bewildered look on his face.

"What's a hobbit?"

Tony chuckled.

"Hairy-footed little people."

Steve grimaced at the thought of watching three movies about little people with hairy feet. Tony grinned and gave him a quick kiss.

"Get comfy, Capsicle."

Steve squeezed him and breathed out a laugh. Clint was just about to hit play.

"Hey, we're gonna need snacks if we're in this for the long haul."

Thor leapt up and rushed toward the kitchen, booming along the way.

"Fear not friends! Pop-tarts!"

They all laughed and settled in amongst boxes upon boxes of pop-tarts to begin their nine hour journey to through Middle Earth.
