Thor woke up to the sun rising above the horizon with a glowing orange. Thor squinted at the light that was already filling the sky. The stretching planes of New Mexico looked the same: dry and dusty, but at the same time beautiful. The quiet hum of cars driving along the streets below the roof where Thor sat filled the air. He groggily rubbed his eyes before looking down at the sleeping Jane in the chair next to him.
Her caramel brown hair spilled over her arm that her head rested on. The blanket spread on her slowly rose and fell with the steady rhythm of her breathing. She was facing away from Thor, her back to the sun so that her hair shined like it was gold. He smiled as he watched her for a few moments. For once, he was grateful for being banished to Midgard. It had been yesterday when he finally came to his senses to realize something: he loved her. She was one of the best things that ever happened to him.
Suddenly she stirred, stretching her arms out in front of her. She took a deep breath and turned to face Thor, her eyes squinting towards the sun. Thor smiled down at her and she smiled back tiredly.
"Hungry?" she asked.
~X~
Jane put the egg on the plate that Thor was holding out to her. He had offered to help her make breakfast for all four of them, including Darcy and Erik. Jane had noticed that even in the past couple days he had changed… a lot.
Jane smiled back before he turned to go give the food to Erik and Darcy. Jane glanced back to watch him go. He was so… so… strong. So powerful. Suddenly Jane had no doubt in her mind that he was some god from another dimension. He wasn't crazy, and neither was she. She couldn't stop thinking about him though. His stormy eyes, his kind smile that made her warm inside, and the way he talked like he was quoting Shakespeare. He had steeped… no, literally fallen… into her life only a couple days ago, and now she couldn't imagine her life without him. She knew that feeling but never had she felt it that strongly.
"Next one is yours." Thor said, coming up to her. Jane nodded and turned her attention to the egg in the frying pan in front of her.
"Thanks again for helping." she said.
"It's the least I could do after all the help you have given me." Thor answered back, slightly bowing. Jane smiled as she watched him in the corner of her eye. She loved it when he did that.
"Oh, do you want coffee?" Jane asked, looking up at Thor. His eyes brightened as he nodded vigorously.
"Please, very much so." he said. Jane smirked and nodded.
"You really like it don't you?" she asked as she slid her spatula under the egg that was ready. She picked up the egg and dropped it onto a plate.
"It creates a feeling of so much… vigor." Thor said, his eyes full of wonder.
"It's called caffeine." Jane told him. Thor raised his eyebrows thoughtfully and nodded, making Jane smile as well. They looked at each other for a moment before turning away, giving Jane butterflies in her stomach. She didn't want him to ever leave.
