Simon was so easy to scoop up, Odin gathering the man into his arms and holding him close against his chest before dropping heavily into the seat his lover had just been occupying. He rumbled, low, nuzzling against Simon’s neck and kissing him slow, working his way up as if he couldn’t stand to not taste every available inch of skin. He kept Simon close, pressing a kiss to each cheek, each eye, the tip of his nose, and at last, his lips. He could taste the tea that Simon preferred to drink, perhaps masking the faint smoky tang of liquor. Not that he cared, his dove could drink whatever the hell he wanted.
“What is that, Earl Grey?” Odin asked, a heavy hand stroking up and down Simon’s side as he continued his parade of kisses - Simon’s chin and forehead and that soft, secret spot behind his ear. He could spend all day just kissing the man all over, from head to toe and back again. Simon was his dove - and the best thing that’d ever happened to him. Odin intended to savor every moment he possibly could.
