𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐍𝐎𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐍 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐀𝐒𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐃. time went by much slower around these parts, and the lazy hours of each day were perfect for sleeping in. the serenity of a domestic life, of peace, often made the warrior - king quite antsy, but it never seemed to faze steve during his slumber. for a fugitive wanted for war crimes in his own country, steve slept a little too soundly, buried beneath lofty asgardian sheets. thor didn’t really have the heart to rouse him from his sleep, so he didn’t.
instead, he fixed himself on the couch and turned on the cable to their old, beaten - up television with the antennas wildly sticking out. it only had a few channels, but thor usually kept it on to watch the news and keep vigilant watch over their friends in the states. per steve’s request, and just to prevent the information from falling into the wrong hands, thor hadn’t told anybody-----not even the avengers-----of steve staying at new asgard, let alone of their relationship. he supposed he had a duty as an avenger to tell stark of rogers’ whereabouts, but ... he couldn’t jeopardize steve’s comfort and safety. he’d never seen the man look so well - rested before, and he was feeling selfish to want to preserve that a bit longer. he muffled out the news channel by lowering the volume and headed towards their bed. he slipped a hand under the warm sheets and touched bare skin, pressing a scruffy kiss to the crook of rogers’ neck. ❛ you sleep too much, ❜ he chuckled, gently nosing him awake.
