by my side on the frontline
When Natasha picked up in Calcutta and brought him back to SHIELD, Bruce had been prepared for anything. At least, he thought that he was; it was a little hard to be prepared for learning that there were aliens out there and not all of them were friendly.
He had not been prepared for Thor. Bruce was certain that there was no possible way to be prepared for Thor.
Thor was everything that Bruce wasn't. He was handsome and perfect and just exuded this sense and surety of spirit that Bruce had never seen in anyone else. Beyond that, Thor wanted him. He wanted Bruce of all people. Thor could have anyone that he set his eyes on, Bruce knew that, but he wanted Bruce.
He was remarkably forward about the entire thing too.
After one of the many debriefings, Thor caught him around the wrist before he could disappear back into his lab like he always did.
“I would speak with you,” Thor said, lips so close to Bruce's ear that he could feel his breath and it made him shiver. “May I?”
Unable to formulate a response, Bruce simply nodded and let Thor guide him down the hall to an empty hall. He would have said something if it wasn't for the fact that his voice seemed to be lodged in his throat.
As it turned out, Bruce didn't need to say anything. Once he was sure that they were alone, Thor turned around and cupped Bruce's face in his hands, tilting it up and then he kissed him.
It took a few seconds for the knowledge that Thor was kissing him to sink in, but once it did Bruce acted almost on instinct. He arched up onto the balls of his feet, arms coming up to wrap around Thor's neck. Their height difference made it a little awkward, but then Thor slid one hand under Bruce's thighs and just picked him up, making Bruce squeak.
Thor's mouth was hot and insistent and he easily dominated the kiss. Bruce couldn't believe that this was happening to him; nothing could have prepared him for this.
Eventually, the need for air won out. When Thor pulled back, Bruce found himself pinned to the wall by Thor, still firmly held in his arms. He had to admit that it was a nice place to be.
“Um,” Bruce said and instantly regretted it. He wasn't exactly articulate right then; Thor probably thought he was an idiot.
Thor absently brushed his thumb along Bruce's cheek, smiling. He kissed Bruce again, only this kiss was simply a brush of lips.
Bruce finally found his words, “Not to sound ungrateful, but what was that for?”
This time, Thor kissed his cheek, “I believe that here you would put it that I would ask you out on a 'date.'”
Bruce almost burst out laughing. He shook his head and smiled, “I'm pretty sure we're past the dating stage.”
“However you wish to put it, I would have you - if you would let me.”
FIN.
