Late Night Love | lostshieldandhammer

Steve

Steve let out a low groan as Peter nipped at his neck and jawline. “You do anything you want with me,” he whispered back, licking his lips a bit and tilting his head to one side. “You know I love anything and everything you do. Love even more that no one is here to interrupt us, either…”

It was a trust that Peter and Steve only gave each other; the ability to do what hey wanted to each other like this. He took a moment to playfully bite at Steve’s neck, moving to kiss and nibble his way down his husband’s body. “You’re so beautiful, Steve. I’d be lost without you.” he murmured, taking the time to trail kisses from one hip to the other. Fingers brushed slowly over Steve’s thigh, ghosting back up and along the blonde’s shaft. “Gonna take care of you all weekend.”

Steve

Steve got into the shower and turned the water as hot as he could stand it. He started cleaning himself off using Clint’s body wash since he wanted the scent of his alpha on him as much as possible. When he was done cleaning himself off, he got out, dried off and went into the bedroom. He pulled on his pajama bottoms and one of Clint’s shirts before heading into the living room and curling up on the sofa with his alpha.

Clint moved with ease and tucked Steve against him. “Feeling better, baby?” he asked, kissing Steve’s head as he wrapped a blanket over them. “Food will be here soon, I promise.” he assured. “Pick a movie to watch, and we’ll sit here and cuddle and eat Chinese food.”

Steve

Steve finished drying off and went to grab a pair of sweatpants and a tank top before he sat down on the edge of the bed, still just watching his lover. “I’m glad he at least knew of us before he was lost to you,” he said softly. “It seems like he approved of our bond at least. That… that’s something that we can at least be confident about. If he were here, we know he’d be happy for us.” He pushed to his feet once Thor finished dressing once more.

“Come on. I’ll fix some soup and sandwiches, we can eat and then try to get some more sleep. We have nowhere we need to be and nothing else we need to do right now but take care of one another.”

Thor nodded, reaching to pull Steve to him and kiss him, more clear headed the more Steve spoke. “I still have you.” he murmured, though if he was talking to Steve or himself wasn’t clear. He waited a moment, just holding Steve before he nodded slowly. “Yes, food and rest.” he agreed, taking a slow breath and reluctantly releasing Steve so they could go to the kitchen.

Induced Heat | lostshieldandhammer

Steve

Steve whimpered softly, returning that kiss and then whining as Tony tugged at his shirt. He shifted so the alpha could get it off of him and then lay back on the bed once more. The heat inducing drugs were making it so damn hard for him to think or even speak coherently anymore but he nodded at Tony, trying to show he understood. He needed more, though. The pain was starting now, as it always did when he was in his first wave of heat. “Tony…” he pleaded, the alpha’s name about all he could manage now.

Tony moved with careful ease to pull the shirt off and leaned in to kiss him softly again, not wanting to leave Steve’s side. “I’m right here,” he promised, hands roaming over Steve’s body to try and ease the pain as best he could. HE pulled his own shirt off and moved to guide Steve’s hands to his chest so Steve could feel his heartbeat. “Look, I’m right here, Steve.” he swore, one hand moving to work on finishing undressing the omega. “I’m gonna take care of you, I promise. I’m not leaving.”

Steve

Steve nodded slowly, sighing and closing his eyes. They weren’t far from home but he was emotionally drained if nothing else. When Clint finally parked the car, Steve slowly got out and kept hold of his alpha’s hand as they headed up and into their apartment. “I’m gonna take a shower while you order food,” he told the other. “I just… I need all the smells of that place off of me.”

Clint helped him up to their apartment with ease, going to turn on his laptop. “Take as long as you want, Steve. I’ll get the blankets and stuff.” he promised. As Steve went to the bathroom, he took a minute to calm himself. He hated when people tried to touch his mate, people always wanting to try and take Steve from him. Steve never backed down from a fight and Clint had no problem getting Steve freed from any charges since it was a crime to try and seduce or harrass a mated omega, but it still angered Clint to the point that he wanted to hurt the alphas who tried. He ordered everything Steve wanted as well as some orange chicken and extra soy sauce and then gathered Steve’s favorite blankets and some pillows, bringing them to their couch and setting up to watch a movie and eat Chinese with his mate. While he waited, he messaged Phil and Bucky to let them know Steve was home and they could check on him in the morning, both men responding that they would and for Clint to take care of his mate. Putting his phone on silent, he set it on the coffee table as he went to change clothes and settled on the couch.

Those We Leave Behind | lostshieldandhammer

Steve

Steve nodded and shifted more into Peter’s hold, burying his face more into the other’s neck and shoulder, wrapping an arm around his mate and just shaking from the shock of everything still setting in and the pain and grief from all of the losses he’d been dealt. He couldn’t handle anything else tonight. If Peter said the pack would wait, they would wait. Steve would trust that Peter knew best for the time being.

Peter moved to carefully wash Steve off, eventually taking his now soaked clothes off and setting them aside so he could clean them both and then turned the water off. “I have to let you go to get us towels, okay?” he explained, kissing Steve’s temple. “I’ll be right back.” He carefully, slowly released Steve to get out and grab towels, easing one around his waist and moving to pull Steve from the tub and into his arms. “Let me get you dry and in bed. I’ll bring us up some food.” he said, toweling Steve off and moving him to the bed to get some clothes and help him get dressed before doing the same for himself. Pulling at the blankets so that he could get his husband in bed, he carefully guided Steve to lay back against the pillows and covered his legs. “I’ll be back in just a few minutes, okay?” he promised, leaning to kiss Steve gently before leaving to go get their food. As he got to the stairs, he saw Derek and Malia at the bottom of the steps and shook his head. “Don’t.” he said softly so only they would hear.

“Dad, what happened?” Malia asked, concerned. “Where’s Bucky and the others?”

Peter shook his head again as he joined them. “Not now, Malia.” he said, but his voice held the shaky emotion of loss and Malia leaned to hug him, Derek doing the same. Peter took the comfort for a moment before pulling away from his nephew and daughter, looking at them both in turn. “Everyone needs to eat, get some rest. Steve can’t handle it right now. I’m trusting the two of you to take care of everyone while I take care of him. Understood?”

Malia looked at her cousin and after a moment, the two nodded and Peter moved to get two plates made and on a tray and started back up to the bedroom. He moved quietly, focusing on getting Steve fed as he got to their room. “I got your favorite.” he said, setting the tray on the bed and sitting beside Steve. “Can you eat for me, baby?” he asked. “I can feed you if you need me to. Just tell me.”

Steve

Steve groaned softly, licking his lips. “I love you too,” he answered, watching Peter’s eyes as they changed just a bit. He loved watching his husband’s eyes… they were a brighter blue than his own at times, but then, when his power came to the front, the crimson red was almost just as beautiful in Steve’s mind. “So, my love, what exactly did you have in mind?”

Peter hummed and dipped his head to nibble at Steve’s neck playfully. “I was going to take my time, make you beg for me.” he whispered huskily, kissing at Steve’s jawline. “We do have the manor to ourselves for the weekend, so you can be as loud as you want.” he smirked, settling between his husband’s legs and gently cover Steve’s body with his own. “Unless you wanted to do something else?” he inquired softly, nuzzling into Steve’s neck.

Reunion | lostshieldandhammer

Steve

Steve looked up as Bucky came back out of the bathroom. He leaned back against the headboard of the bed and shrugged. “A month now, maybe?” he thought about it then nodded. “Yeah, that sounds about right. Still can’t believe you managed to track me down. I”m not even using my real name anymore at these places. You feel better now with a shower and clean clothes? Pizzas will be here soon.”

Bucky shrugged. “I figured you’d try to have a place like back home.” he replied. “Shuri said she couldn’t find you, so I told her look for hotels with small rooms and at least three floors. She was confused, but when she found a list, I started going to each one. The last few weeks have been a lot of trvael and watching buildings.” he chuckled. Looking down, he nodded. Steve’s clothes were actually a little loose on him, but he didn’t mind. He walked over to the bed and moved to sit next to Steve. “I’m just glad I finally lucked out.”

Steve [ @lostshieldandhammer ]

Once in the room, Steve whined again, tears falling down along his face. “Bed… Tony, please… please… no showers, no baths… just you… an’ me… In bed together… I need you. Please don’t leave me alone with this.”

Tony moved to the bed, carefully laying Steve down. “Shh, Steve, I got you. I’m not going anywhere.” He promised, lifting a hand to brush away the tears. “I won’t leave you, I swear.” He assured, licking his lips as he leaned in to kiss the omega softly, hating the fact that Steve thought he would leave him. As he pulled away, he gently pulled at the hem of the shirt Steve wore. “Tell me to stop if you feel uncomfortable for any reason. Heat or no heat, if you don’t like the way I touch you, tell me no. Understood?” He asked, sliding one hand beneath the fabric to run his fingers over Steve’s side. “I was yours a long time ago, I’m not going anywhere unless you tell me to, I swear.”

Steve

“I am so very sorry, my love,” he whispered softly, tightening his hold around Thor as the other turned to hold him in return. “With the fighting and all… I know you weren’t able to give him any kind of burial or anything else… I know you made it to Wakanda but I still don’t know how you got there. Again… we don’t need to talk about it tonight. Just know, whenever you want or need to talk about Loki, I will listen.” He pulled back and leaned up to kiss his mate softly. “Let’s finish drying off and get changed and I’ll make us something to eat.” He brushed his fingers through Thor’s hair. “I love you, Thor. And if Loki had made it here with you, it doesn’t change anything but I want you to know, I would have done everything I could to help you take care of him… to help you help him live here with us. I know you can’t have that now but… if it had been an option, I hope you know I would have helped.”

Thor wished he could bring his brother back just for a moment, but he knew he couldn’t, so his grief was deep. He knew Steve understood in his own way, having lost his own best friend and brother so many times himself, so it meant much more coming from Steve as he opened up about his loss. “Stormbreaker. It grants me the ability to open the bifrost. I wanted to come home, stop Thanos before he hurt you, the bifrost just followed what I wanted.” he explained. “Of all the traditions, I wish I could have retrieved a lock of hair.” he explained. “We have other burial traditions, the souls set free from a burning boat so that hey may be released to Valhalla, where all warriors go, but the family of the one lost usually have a lock of hair…a braid that we lace with our own hair to carry a piece of their spirit with us. Like the braid of my mother’s hair.” He looked down for a moment, taking a shaky breath. He slowly released Steve, moving to finish taking his clothes off. “I love you, too, Steven. More than anything. It helps to know someone would have given him a second chance here. He would have taken it, I’m sure.” he promised. “He knew you were important to me, before I was ever able to admit it.” he smiled sadly, going to their room to pull out some clothes and tugging a shirt over his head. “He always asked if I had kept an eye on you, if you were alright. His magic was sensitive to strong bonds like the one we share.”
