Ruby entered the room, hands continuously smoothing out her newly chopped pixie haircut. She was only mildly self conscious about it now, and Baldr hadn't even seen it yet. She smiled to her raven haired love, feeling a bit more confidant in his presence. "Hello, love." [ Hello, I have missed you. Sorry I haven't been around! ]

He'd been cooking or, at least, attempting to, having procured a few cooking books from the local charity shop around the corner. Asgard needed him less and less as the politics died down and were replaced with the Yule Tide festivities, so the chance to visit Ruby came up more often. 

He'd just put the gammon joint in the oven, in fact, and was mulling over the next few stages when his fiancée came in, her hands districting him from the mess strewn across the kitchen. His beaming smile didn't even waver at the new haircut, and the god leapt across the distance between them, his fingers replacing hers int he shortened locks.

Naturally, messing it up completely.

''Hello my love,'' Baldr cheerfully replied, stealing down for a kiss as his hands ploughed over her scalp. ''You realise I am never not going to do that now?''

"Wake up, I want my presents."

SEND ONE OF THE FOLLOWING FOR MY MUSE’S REACTION

He peered up at her over the bridge of his nose, frowning. "Patience, patience!" he chided, then looked back to his work. Spread across his knee was a tunic in the Elvish fashion, decorated with delicate flowers and vines. In one hand, he held its sleeve; in the other, he had the thin bone needle he had used to sew the garment together. Returning his attention to his embroidery, finishing the last stitches on the flower that bloomed across the end of the sleeve, Legolas remarked, "If you rush me, my hand shall slip and I shall ruin it - and then you shall have no present at all! Be patient, Ruby my friend. Your gift shall be completed soon enough."

[ I feel like this is my fault. just kidding. Maybe. XP ]

((Definitely your fault. Ruby introduced Baldr to coffee and it spans the multiverse, damn it))

"Is that my shirt?"

"'Tis certainly not mine. Yet I could not continue wearing my previous tunic after having trained with your fellow SHIELD members." He sniffed. "Sweat." Waving his hand, Legolas added, "In any case, this blouse was readily available. I do hope you shall forgive me for wearing it, my friend - if it is yours."

"It'll only be fake mistletoe from me this year, love. I can't speak for everyone else though. But don't worry, I'll be here to protect you." She said before landing him a quick kiss.

''For once,'' Baldr chuckled, an arm snaking around his love's waist with ease. She wasn't getting away that easily. ''you really will have to protect me.''

He returned the kiss, lips lingering on hers until his mouth opened, drinking in his favourite taste, Ruby with a hint of coffee.

Possessive

If Baldr knew what 'going on a night out' had really meant before actually leaving the apartment, he might have changed his mind about the whole thing. But, as it was, the god found himself walking down the streets of New York, hand in hand with Ruby, still trying to accustom to the jeans riding on his hips. Mortal clothing was tight, he'd realised, especially when his fiancée had persuaded him to wear the most revealing top she could find.

He may as well have gone half-naked, for all the coverage it gave him.

But they were drunk, giggling as they chased each other down the busy, party filled road. Crowds spilled out from bars, smokers, kissers, bouncers, all adding to the noise of the never-sleeping city. The atmosphere was intoxicating, and Baldr found himself drinking it in with every breath. Somewhere, he knew distantly, wars were being waged between monsters these mortals could never begin to dream of, on worlds never discovered. Civalisations were dying, realms burning, and yet... he found he didn't care.

Tonight, he could forget about the Ragnarok. He could ignore Asgard and all it's demanding, princely duties. He could forget about battle and bloodshed, about the nightmares that plagued him.

He was human tonight, and it was incredible.

Until the god glanced over to where Ruby had left, not after assuring him with a kiss and a smile she'd be back only a moment later after going to the toilet. She'd ended up, however, in the grasp of some stranger, a wily smirk and glimmering eyes that held no real warmth. 

His footsteps were driven by something subconcious, a jealous anger that screamed in his blood. How dare someone else touch his love. How dare they try and claim what was his.

To the warrior's credit, it was the stranger who struck first. Only to be surprised when Baldr didn't even blink at the fist that should have, technically, crumpled his nose.

It was a rather short fight.

((adsafa hush you! Baldr wouldn't be half the character he is now without Ruby being in his life. And that's the honest truth, even in other verses I've noticed the little change in having someone permanently by his side. 

BALDR WOULD NOT BE BALDR WITHOUT YOUUUUU))
