his hand rests atop the body of the hammer. without lifting it, steve can feel the power it emits. electricity flashes through his fingers as he wraps them around the handle but he still doesn’t dare to pick it up again. whoever is worthy --- he reads the inscription with some skepticism. it feels like decades that steve had touched the hammer while his friends sat around, drinking and laughing. he had felt it then, too. like the hammer was speaking to him. but when he felt it budge, he dropped it --- smiling with false defeat.
❝ — what does it mean ? ❞ steve asks as his hand fits around the leather molding of the handle. if he lifts it again -- if he lifts it as he is now -- what would that mean for him ? steve glances over to thor, ❝ — what does it mean to be worthy ? ❞ / @destroiyer !
