"Fuck sake." Tony banged the door to his flat, he had left his phone at Peppers. He ran to the hall phone, throwing in some change.

"Hey Thor, you around?" Tony sounded shaky over the receiver as Thor picked up.

"I was on my way up to see Jane, of which phone are you calling from?" Thor always sounded slightly confused for some reason.

"Awesome, I forgot my phone and the spare key at Peppers, but I think she's out today or something whatever can you make it up?"

"I'm sorry Stark, I have to go, I promised… Sorry!"

Tony sighed rubbing his forehead. Who else could he call? He really needed to throw up again, and the heat in the corridor was suffocating.

"Alright I-I'll figure it out. Seeya." He hung up before Thor could say anything, slamming it on the box. He slapped his knees, coming up slowly to see a pair of red brogues, black jeans and finally, a blue jumper.

"You need in?"

Tony glared at him but he was feeling dizzy, swaying a bit. How the hell could he be here? How could he have the phone key? Wonderful, he was completely at his mercy. He stood up straight, battling the swaying with all his might and somehow finding the strength to grimace.

"If it's not too much trouble, I'd prefer if you'd to open it and just go."

Steve fiddled the phone in his hand, biting his lip. "I know things haven't been… I mean I'm sorry I didn't call… But it's just… well I guess it's been like a… day… but-"

"You know what? Forget it." Tony leaned against the wall, unable to hold his strength. He slumped to the ground his head leaning on the panels. "I-I'll j-just wait for L-loki." He let his eyes close, still frowning.

Steve laughed. "You're rather stubborn… it's becoming… C'mon we'll get you inside."

"J-just… go…" But Steve had already grabbed Tony by the waist, pulling him in the door. He lifted him on to the sofa, getting a soft towel and dampening it, placing it on Tony's forehead.

"Why do you have to be so difficult?" He said with a smile, patting Tony's hot forehead. Tony moved his head from left to right. There was more air in here, he could breathe again. His head had begun to stop spinning and he was able to see things without them whirring past his head. Steve smiled again as Tony came to his senses. Tony gasped, it was like a sudden realisation. He thumped Steve's chest, taking him by surprise and knocking him back a little. Steve grabbed his arms, pushing them back like before. He seemed genuinely hurt, but only for a moment. He bent himself over Tony, leaning into his neck. Tony could feel himself breaking into a sweat, with Steve's lips brushing against his skin. Steve laughed a little as Tony struggled to get him off, only making his grip tighter.

"Steve, please, stop. Steve, w-whatever y-you think… I d-don't feel that way… Steve!" Steve wasn't listening, moving his hand down to Tony's crotch, slipping his hand beneath the jeans. He giggled a little, biting Tony's neck. Tony couldn't take this, not being able to move, nothing. He was deranged. He should have told Loki ages ago, this wouldn't be happening, why hadn't he said something.

"Hello? Tony?" The door opened slowly, the lock making a low purr as it did.

"Shit." Steve whipped his head around, but he was too late. Thor was already in the doorway, walking past the separating wall into the living room, seeing everything. Tony's face was turned away from Steve's mouth, his arms straining under the pressure to get out. Steve's one hand holding him down, like he was a small child, the other under his jeans.

"What. Do. You. Think. You. Are. Doing?" Thor was shaking, his fists clenched. He breathed heavily between each word, Tony only stared at him, pleading that he would understand he was not here his on accord. But despite the mess, Thor thankfully saw everything plain as day. Tony was still wriggling, trying to get out, Steve finally remembering what he was doing, he removed both hands, placing them in his pockets. Should he not be hiding behind the seat by now? This was Thor! Tony was amazed by how Steve acted, this only angered Thor even more. He walked slowly over to him, picking Steve up by his collar. His eyes were pinned on his, skewering through them. Steve gulped at the sudden contact, raising an eyebrow. He wacked Thor's arm with his, but it didn't affect him whatsoever. Thor smiled, demonically rather, pulling Steve back and throwing him swiftly up against the wall. Steve thrashed down onto the raised platform of the snug, grabbing his head and slipping as he tried to get up again. Thor was back over to him in about a second, grabbing him again and dragging him this time to the front door. He dragged him by the collar all the way down the corridor, dropping him out in the rain that had been showering on and off. Steve grabbed the wall, turning to make a run for it before Thor grabbed him again.

"If I ever. EVER. See you near my brother, or Stark again, you will wish you had never met him. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

Steve turned his head away from him, no longer looking at him.

"I said, do you understand?" Thor spat at him, enraged by his ignorance.

Steve slowly shook his head, shaking it even faster as Thor grabbed his chest tighter. Thor grunted, dropping him into a puddle. Steve stood up slowly, holding the banister for support, before making a break for it. He didn't care where he went as long as he got away from him.

When Thor reached the flat again, he didn't know how to react. He was not against gay relationships, of course he wasn't, his brother was gay how could he be? But he didn't know how to behave… around Tony… what had just happened was evidently clear, but blurry at the same time.

"Stark…?" He found Tony crossed-legged on the couch, his arms flexed on the arm of it, head in between them, eyes closed. Tony shook his head at the mention of his name.

"Thor, please understand I didn't… I didn't…"

"No please, don't, I do, I… I saw for myself." Thor responded gruffly. He stood limply in the middle of the room, not knowing whether to sit down or pat his shoulder. He decided to sit down.

Tony lifted his head a little, feeling queasy again. Thor was definitely going to tell Loki, of course he was. He'll never forgive him for this.

"Tony… are you alright." Tony sighed, clenching his eyes closed and springing them open again. He swung his legs around, inhaling quickly and looked at the ground. Steve was demented… three weeks ago, and then in two days, it had led to this. This!

"Last night… when you were asleep…"

"I heard all about it…" Thor furrowed his eyebrows, leaning forward on his knees, clasping his hands. He peered at Tony sideways.

Tony sniffed a small laugh, then became serious again. "He… tried the… he did the same thing… previously, before we went out. I wanted to tell Loki but… but I couldn't bring myself to do it… I didn't want to see him… unhappy, when he seemed in such a good place. I don't know…"

Thor sat back into the seat, closing his eyes and moved his hand up to his forehead. He sighed, thinking about what he was going to do.

"How come you came?" Tony broke the silence, finding the courage to look at Thor.

"You. We've all been worried, you've been so sketchy over the past three weeks. Well since Loki and him. I thought that maybe you were just angry at Steve for… y'know. Pepper told me, we discussed some things before. So I came round just to make sure you were okay, especially since last night."

"Oh. No it, it wasn't just because of Pepper and him no, but I dunno…" For some reason he didn't feel like telling Thor he had been missing Loki, when he didn't know if that was all there was to it. No, that's all there was to it, wasn't it? No. Thor looked at him again, knowing it wasn't all there was to the story, but he let it go.

"I don't think we should tell Loki. I know my brother, he won't take it well, it'll break his heart, truly. A clean break."

"Maybe you're right. He's soft-hearted with these things. Even if he can be a total bitch most of the time." Tony smirked a little. Thor smiled uneasily.

"Look Stark, I'm extremely sorry. But I have to get back to Jane, I told her I'd be ten minutes at most, and it's been half an hour. But I'll get back to you later. We'll keep this between us, understood? I only wish to protect him."

"Of course… yeah sure." Tony smiled sadly, as Thor stood up, nodding his head and saluting him before he left through the door.
