“You’re not fine. And we both know that if this was me in this situation, you’d be doing the same thing.” And so would he, now that he’d thought about it. Magnus and Alec were both so stubborn, it was no wonder they were together. Alec let out a small sigh and nodded. “Fine, but only this once. And only until you go to sleep. I still have some paperwork to do.” Though he had a feeling that he would end up going to sleep with Magnus. He moved on his side of the bed and laid down with him, an arm going around him to comfort him. “Sleep.”

Magnus wanted to argue, but he knew Alec was right. “Only this once,” he mused in a tired murmur, reaching to pull Alec to him. “Aku cinta kamu.” he whispered, tucking his head into Alec’s neck as they lay in bed. “Just make sure you sleep, too. You’ve been working so much.”

Things had been going well in their relationship. At least Seth thought so. But every time they’d make out, he kept making excuses on why they couldn’t have sex yet and he could tell he was frustrating his significant other each time. It was another one of those moments, his hands on their ass as they kissed, a soft smile on his lips until they mentioned sex. Seth shook his head, his smile turning sad. “C’mon… What’s wrong with just keeping it like this?”

Derek tilted his head, leaning to kiss Seth’s temple. “Seth, is something wrong?” he asked, actually a little worried. He couldn’t understand the mixed signals he could sense and smell on the other.

Steve

Well…now it all made sense to him. No wonder Thor had been so angry and filled with rage when he’d landed in Wakanda… when they’d fought with Thanos there and again later on to get their friends back as well. Eveyrone had made it back…. everyone but Loki.

“Thor,” he whisepred softly, pressing against the other’s back and wrapping arms around him, hands resting against the god’s chest. “Thor, I’m so sorry. While I was angry with your brother for what he did here in New York, I never thought him truly evil. I knew he needed help and I suppose I always thought he’d get that help from you. I’m sorry for how he was lost…”

One shaking hand moved to rest over Steve’s hand, blue eyes closed as Thor took a slow breath. “There are traditions I was denied because of that monster. It is not that I’m not happy the others have returned, I was just…I was hoping I would get my brother back as well. He was all I had left from my world.” He turned slowly, arms settling around him as he held Steve. “He had finally found peace but I never expected him to actually martyr himself. He knew he was going to die, but he had to try. He’s always been a kind of solace, a very dear friend even when we were mad at each other and fighting.” 

HE laid a kiss on his mate’s hair, eyes closing again. “He was only trying to protect me. It’s a habit neither of us could really break after a thousand years of being there for each other,” A very sad laugh escaped him. the sound weak. “Maybe he didn’t think he would be accepted here, after everything. It’s the only other reason he would have been foolish enough to take Thanos and his minions on his own.”

Steve

Steve just nodded silently before stepping into the shower and under the spray of water. How was he supposed to get through this? He’d only had Bucky back for such a short time and now… now he was gone again; this time for good. Sam was gone… Wanda and Vision… Peter… T’Challa… He felt the tears falling down his face again and he slid down the wall, sitting on the floor of the shower, dropping his head onto his knees, crying quietly.

Peter didn’t think as he moved under the water and pulled Steve to him, unable to bear seeing his mate in so much pain. He didn’t speak for a long time, just held Steve against him, arms secure as he ran his hand through blonde hair. After a long while, he opened his eyes. “You don’t have to see them tonight, Steve. They’ll understand.” he murmured.

Steve

Steve sucked in a quiet breath when Thor spoke of what had upset him. Loki’s death. The other had never spoken of it and Steve had wanted to ask so many times. He knew Thor’s grief was unmatched by anything he’d ever seen in the king before. They made it back inside and Steve tugged Thor into the bathroom to get them both changed and dried off.

“You’ve never told me what happened,” he said quietly. “Maybe sharing it with me will help you in dealing with your grief over his death. I know you sent word that he and Bruce were with you before you arrived on Earth but we never really talked about the rest of it. I’m not pressing you, Thor. You can talk if you feel ready and if not, then I will simply do what I can to help you. But just know, you can always talk to me, no matter what.”

Thor was quiet for a long moment. “I am aware that most of the others believe he was evil…” he began. “But he believed for centuries he was of Asgard and when he found out otherwise, he got lost. It’s how he got mixed in with Thanos to begin with. Being tortured until he promised Thanos something just to make the pain stop. He’s still my brother, no matter how often he’s done terrible things.” He changed slowly, eyes sad as he fought back tears. “His last moments…he made an attempt to kill Thanos on his own.” his hand trembled and he had to rest them on the counter to try and hide it. “I was forced to watch as Thanos…as that monster squeezed the life out of my brother.”

Steve

Steve flinched as they passed the alpha cell and clung tightly to Clint as the alpha took care of the one responsible for them being in there.  Heading out to the car, Steve took a deep breath now that they were out of the jail. Getting into the car, Steve shrugged slightly.

“Can we just go home and order something to be delivered?” he asked, looking up at his alpha slowly. “I just… I don’t think I can stand to be around other people right now. Is… is Phil at the house or did he go home?” He adored Phil Coulson, but he wasn’t sure right now that he wanted to be around anyone but Clint.

“Sure thing, baby. Whatever it takes to make you feel safe.” Clint promised, going to climb in the driver’s side and starting the car. He shook his head at the question. “After I got the call, Phil and Buck made the others leave the apartment. They know how much you don’t like people after something like this happens. I just wish people would stop thinking they could manhandle my mate.” He huffed, reaching to take Steve’s hand. “Do you want Chinese or pizza?” he asked as they drove, eyes on the road even as he was so aware of his omega.

Steve

Once Thor was calmed again, Steve pressed against him and wrapped his arms around him gently. “I’ll always come for you,” he promised softly, kissing Thor’s jaw softly. “You’re soaked. Now, so am I… let’s go back inside and get dried off and warmed up. Are you hungry? I could fix us something to eat if you’d like. What was it tonight? Nightmare or just memories?”

Thor let his body relax as Steve held him, his own arms wrapping around Steve gently. “And I will always come back to you.” he swore softly. “The storm will pass soon enough.” he promised, walking alongside his mate. “A small snack might be nice.” He was quiet for a moment. “A little of both.” he replied. “I…I was dreaming of Loki. His last…” his voice shook a little and he fell silent. He’d never told anyone about Loki’s death, merely that his brother had died before he’d come to earth. “His last moments.”
