Captain America/Thor - "Hey! I Was Gonna Eat That!"
“Hey! I was gonna eat that!”
Steve froze, fork half-way to his mouth. He looked down at the near empty plate, then back at Tony, who was scowling at him.
“You know, just cos you’re pregnant-” Tony began, not seriously, but even still-
Steve’s lower lip trembled.
He stood up. “Sorry,” he said quickly and turned, fleeing the room as fast as his eight-month pregnant body let him.
“I-” Tony looked helplessly at the other Avengers. “I wasn’t serious.”
Nat shrugged. “It’s just his hormones,” she reminded him.
Thor pushed himself up from the couch. “I’ll make sure he’s okay,” he told them, following his husband out of the room.
He found Steve curled up on their bed.
“Husband, “ Thor said softly, sliding onto the bed behind him and wrapping his arms around him.
Steve wiped at his eyes. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to-”
“They understand,” he told them, kissing his hair.
Steve squirmed. “I shouldn’t have…” he trailed off, not sure how to finish the sentence.
Thor nuzzled against his back. “You have been bearing our child amazingly,” he told him.
Steve sighed and rested against him. “Doesn’t feel that way,” he told him.
Thor sat up abruptly, gently pulling Steve flat on his back so he could give him a proper look. “You have been perfect,” he told him. “Not many mortals could bear an Asgardian child.” He leant forward and kissed the swell of Steve’s stomach. “My child.”
Steve ran a hand through Thor’s hair. “Yeah.”
Thor’s eyes met his sternly and he moved forward and pressed a kiss to his lips. “Steve,” he chided.
Steve gave him a soft smile. “I know,” he told him.
