Author's Notes: Thanks for everyone that read and reviewed.

Before Steve made it to the door, Thor moved quickly, grabbing the man's wrist. Steve resisted, but Thor held strong.

"Thor-" Steve looked up and instantly stopped himself. The god's eyes were full of worry.

"Steven…" Thor leaned down closer to him and Steve's heart felt like it had stopped. The free hand of Thor's reached up and lightly caressed the man's cheek.

"I wish of you to stay," Thor spoke softly.

With a blush starting to invade his cheeks, Steve gave a small nod. He couldn't say no to those beautiful eyes, especially at such a close range.

The hand that gripped Steve's wrist loosened and slid down to hold the man's hand. Thor led him up the stairs to the right which led to his bed, half a floor up. Steve stood at the edge of the bed, bashful at the suggestion Thor was unintentionally making; did he wish for them to sleep together? The question was quickly answered when Thor began to remove his shoes and then his shirt. He sat down next to the pillows on the left side at the head of the bed and looked over to the nerve-filled, still-upset captain.

"You must relax, Captain. Sit."

Steve stupidly obeyed and immediately sat on the end of the bed. Thor couldn't help but chuckle, "I am not something to be feared."

With crinkled eyebrows, Steve breathed out of nose and smiled. There was no need to be nervous or upset anymore. He pushed those feelings to the back of his mind for the moment and fell back onto the mattress. Thor grinned widely. He reached for a remote which was located on the nightstand that Natasha had told him about. After looking at all the buttons, he found the ones labeled for lights and turned them off. Thor gave one last look at Steve before laying himself down on the mattress as well.

Steve turned his head to look up at his friend. The god was lit with the gentle light from the large windows as the sun was setting. His eyes were closed. He was calm and silent. Every single muscle in his body, it seemed, was completely lax. It was a different side of him that Steve had never seen. It made him a bit jealous that Thor could be so easily consumed with peacefulness.

Thor's shoulder's gently rolled and he moved his head. A lock of hair fell in front of his face. Steve carefully reached over and pushed the hair back into place behind Thor's ear. The god gave a soft sigh when Steve grazed his ear.

Steve sat up and stole a better look at the god. From afar, he actually looked quite stupid in the way he was laying the wrong way on the large bed with his legs dangling off the side. It didn't really seem to matter to Thor at all though as he continued to sleep.

Becoming annoyed with the position, Steve got up and rotated Thor by the legs to place him correctly on the bed. He smiled when the god weakly swatted at him and mumbled something. Steve then slipped off his shoes and climbed onto the other side of the bed. After a few more minutes of staring at the beautiful god, Steve let his eyes flutter shut. It only lasted for a moment because his eyes snapped open when he felt something on his hand. He gazed down and saw that Thor had reached toward him and was sleepily trying to hold his hand.

Steve chuckled, intertwining their fingers and he let his eyes shut once more.

Steve feel the warmth of the sun upon his back as he came to a conscious state, but that was not the only heat he felt. The front of his body was pressed against something warm and firm. He opened his eyes to be met with Thor's chest. Steve turned scarlet and started to back away when an arm came around him and kept him in place.

"Where is it that you think you are going?" Thor's amused voice rumbled.

Steve tilted his head upwards to see a very happy looking god. The captain tried to remain calm in the situation he had just found himself in.

"Did you have a rest-filled sleep?"

"Umm…yes," Steve said, blushing only more when his voice cracked.

Thor laughed softly, "I am happy to hear this, for I have never slept so well before."

Steve would have agreed, but he didn't trust his voice and he was happy that he didn't because Thor began to move his hands around, mainly around the captain's torso. Steve bit his lip nervously.

"Am I causing you embarrassment?" Thor asked, seriously.

The captain easily answered the question with a nervous laugh. Thor instantaneously moved away, "I am sorry."

Thor began to pick himself up and leave the bed. Steve was nervous, but he did not wish to be left alone. He softly gasped out, "No." Thor paused, currently half off of the bed and turned his face to Steve. The man, instantly flustered, looked away from his gaze, but began to speak, even if it was so meekly.

"I'm sorry. I just…like I said last night, it wasn't easy to get people to care about me. I've only had two people who ever got to know me- and neither of them was in this sense. I'm simply inexperienced and…scared."

Thor pivoted on his leg that was still on the bed and pulled Steve into an embrace. Steve, at first, held the other nervously, but then as the moments past he gripped tighter and pulled Thor closer than he ever thought was possible. He finally felt relieved and safe now that Thor understood him completely. A few tears made their way down Steve's face and he shook slightly in a sob. Upon feeling this Thor pulled back his chest just enough to see Steve's face.

"Please, do not cry. I am here to make you cheerful, Steve," he said taking the captain's face in his hands.

"I know," Steve choked, "I'm just-I'm happy."

"I do not see how this resembles happiness," Thor spoke, feeling useless.

Steve gave something between a sob and a chortle, confusing the god further.

"Happy crying," Steve announced.

"Happy crying?" Thor asked, trying to understand.

Steve looked up into Thor's face to see his complete confusion and he couldn't help it. He laughed and loudly. The other stared at him with an even more perplexed face until he watched as the laughing procured several more tears from his eyes.

"Oh," Thor smiled.

Steve gave a few large breaths and a short giggle which captured Thor's interest by its feminine pitch. Suddenly realizing what had come out of his mouth, Steve covered it. It was Thor's turn to laugh at the man. He placed his hands on the captain's arms and tried to force them down, Steve was having none of it and kept them up.

"Come now, Steve. I wish to bestow a kiss upon your lips."

Steve froze in place and stared at the god before him. Thor then easily moved the man's hands away from his face. He then pulled Steve into him so their faces were ever so close. They gazed into one another's eyes for a moment before Thor leaned in and offered a chaste kiss upon Steve's soft lips.

He backed away a few inches and spoke, "Do you accept what I feel toward you?"

Steve didn't waste a second as he lunged forward, wrapping his arms around the god and smashed his lips against Thor's.
