As the days passed, it was getting closer to Christmas and Thor was very interested in learning the customs. Everyone helped in decorating the tower with holly and shimmering lights except Tony who was horrified by the change in his décor. He was happy to give the others money to go out shopping for gifts while he tried to fix the 'tacky decorations.'

Thor donned his new leather pants to the mall hoping to get some action from Steve. Ever since they had finally done it, they were like rabbits. And they had a problem of doing it in the most inappropriate places due to Thor's sweet words about his 'overflowing love not being able to be ceased.' They had probably only done it on the bed twice.

The five teammates wandered around the mall shopping together. Steve had been disinterested in the trip until he spotted a small pet store outlet. He stopped at the store front, pulling Thor with him.

"The first store I have ever encountered on Midgard was that of a pet kind," Thor informed.

"Oh?" Steve prompted.

"They did not have any horses. I was disappointed."

The team snickered at the god's statement.

"I don't think anyone would want a horse besides you," Clint explained.

Bruce had already entered the store and was playing with a small puppy. Everyone followed him in to see the man's choice. The puppy squirmed as he held him up.

"A suitable fighter," Thor approved.

"And look," Bruce said as he spread the puppy's front legs. The light brown dog had a white spot on its chest.

Natasha smiled, "Now that's pretty romantic."

Bruce blushed as he looked down at the animal, "I guess."

Steve looked around to see a small pen of kittens and walked over. Thor quietly watched as the man stuck his hand out and got the attention of a few kittens. They mewled happily as Steve began to pet them.

The god moved in back of Steve and whispered in the captain's ear, "The animals are making the same sounds you do when we make love."

When Steve turned his head to look up at the god, Thor pushed his erection against the man's butt. The captain felt his hardness and looked quickly over to the others, who were still playing with the puppy.

"Now?" Steve asked.

Thor nodded and leaned over to nibble on his lover's ear.

"I say a bathroom a ways back," the captain offered.

They slipped away, probably not getting past Natasha's keen senses. After a quickie, they returned to see everyone outside of the store. Bruce held a cage with a yipping puppy.

"You bought it," Steve said, joyfully, "So what are you gonna call it?"

Bruce looked down at the dog, "I have an idea, but I think I want Tony to give it a name."

Steve reached out to pet the puppy through the caging, but got gummed by the tiny creature as it let out a growl. Everyone was surprised by its hostility, but the captain just laughed.

"Good match for Tony, surely."

Steve wiped his drool-covered hand on his jacket before holding onto Thor's waist, still feeling the need to be close to him.

After some final shopping, everyone had gotten the rest of their gifts they wanted. Steve was the only one who had not bought anything, but he told the others he had their gifts prepared already.

Thor smiled at this and asked, "Are you my present?"

Steve turned red at the thought of himself naked with just a ribbon on him.

The others laughed and Thor questioned it, "What is so comedic?"

"You learned that from Tony?" Clint asked.

The god cocked his head, "Well, Tony did say something about Bruce being his present. Why would my wanting Steve be funny?"

"I'll explain later," Steve mumbled.

Feel free to review. I know it's short but I haven't been in the mood lately. Hope you liked it, though.
