Hello again! Welcome! Once again, warning, contains yaoi and I do not own anything.

Chapter 14

"If he wasn't your Intended, I would try to marry him!" Fandral announced, lifting his mug to where Clint sat next to Frigga. The archer smiled back but didn't raise his own glass, almost knowing what the warrior was speaking about. The feast was in full swing, celebrating Thor's victory in Vanaheim. Thor wished to have Clint by his side for the evening but Clint didn't want to take away from Thor's victory. The people of Asgard took every opportunity to talk to the mortal archer who would become the future Queen. The bow was becoming a popular weapon of choice for many warriors. Clint decided to stay with Frigga so everyone would celebrate Thor's victory in his quest for peace.

"I would say Hawkeye is more your Betrothed than Intended," Lady Sif teased, smirking at Thor. "Didn't you receive the Allfather's blessing on the matter?"

Thor nodded. "Indeed. And it is true. Clint Barton has agreed to marry me when the time comes."

Fandral spat out his drink. "What! Why didn't you say anything! This is even further cause for celebration!"

"The Prince of Asgard is to be wed!" Volstagg shouted, raising his drink. Cheers erupted across the hall as word spread that the Prince was to be married.

Earlier That Week

Thor and Clint walked arm and arm in the gardens, neither needing to speak. Thor took a steadying breathe when they reached a secluded area. He knew Frigga and Loki were nearby but they both knew Thor's plan. All three of them knew Clint well enough that he would want this moment to be a private one.

"Clint," Thor started, calling Mjolnir to his hand.

"Thor?" Clint asked, glancing at the hammer.

Thor twirled his hammer before placing it on a stone bench. "On Asgard, it is custom to present one's weapon to another, to show your intention to stay by their side. Clint, I give you my hammer, to show I will remain by you. I will fight for and beside you. I wish you to be mine and I to be yours. I wish for you to become my husband."

Clint blinked, recognizing the gesture as a marriage intent. Clint pulled out his bow and laid it alongside Mjolnir. "Thor, my bow is yours and I will remain by your side. I wish for you to be mine and I to be yours. i will be your husband, if you will be mine."

Thor's smile brightened as he rushed up, gathering Clint in his arms and swung him around. "You have made me the happiness man in the universe!" Thor set Clint back on his feet, taking his hand and gently kissing his fingertips. Clint turned Thor's palms over and repeated the gesture.

"You know, I have been learning all of the Asgardian customs but we do not do any Midgardian ones," Clint teased.

"What do you suggest?"

"Usually a declaration of marriage is sealed with a kiss," Clint said bluntly. "I know these displays are usually left for private chambers but I think this is an exception." Thor smiled and reached down, cradling Clint' cheek with his hands. He slowly lowered him down, sealing their lips.

Clint raised his glass, acknowledging the celebration while Odin laughed from Frigga's side. Frigga only smirked before rising from her seat, Clint setting his glass down and following her moves. Thor excused himself from the warriors and went over to the group. He offered his arm to Clint, following his father's actions toward Frigga.

"May I escort you?" Thor asked.

"You can stay for the party" Clint said, patting Thor's arm. "You deserve it."

Thor shook his head, gathering Clint's hand and placing it through his arm. "Let me walk you and I'll come back to the party."

"You can escort both of us," Frigga declared, letting Odin's arm go and taking Thor's other arm.

"Of course, Mother," Thor said, smiling as they left the room, making their way to the chambers. As the trio walked down the long hallway, Heimdall burst around the corner.

'Thor!"

"What is it, my friend?"

"Your Jane Foster has gone beyond my vision."

Clint touched Thor's arm. "You should go. I will be here."

Thor chuckled, kissing Clint's fingers. "Thank you. I will see what happened and return to you."

"Be safe, my son," Frigga added, letting his other arm go.

Thor nodded and turned, running close behind Heimdall to the Bifrost.

Author's Note: Now we are onto Thor: Dark World. Special thanks to Katie MacAlpine and ELOSHAZZY for the reviews. To answer both of your questions, the whole attacks on Asgard and Earth, along with the focus on Clint was because of some Asgardian who was banished and wanted revenge. They thought the best way was to take Clint and having Thor off world was the best way to go about it. You won't be hearing about them other than in passing conversation. Hopefully you are enjoying it! Until next time!
