Part 39 - To Be Continued

Filled with need you wrap your arms around his neck as he pulls your body into his, feeling every muscle tensed against you. As he starts to walk you over towards the bed, not judging the layout of the room, he brushes against your dresser. The sound of something falling onto the floor, and breaking pulls you both from each other.

Looking down you see a broken photo frame, but what really catches your eye is the small gift box from earlier. "Oh," Thor starts to stammer as he see what's drawn your attention. "Sorry," he picks up the frame, noticing only the glass has broken on a photo of you and Tony, but trying to slip the box underneath your dresser.

"What's that?" You ask, as you join him, while he picks up glass, reaching over to grab the box. His hand bats yours away, making you laugh a little. "Thor, give it to me." you chuckle, making him look at you and smirk.

"I was trying to," he leans over and kisses you gently, desperate to try and draw your attention away from the gift. You manage to reach over and grab it from his hand, before standing and walking away.

"You've been spending far too much time with Tony," You laugh before sitting on your bed. Confusion sets in as you look at the tag on the box. "This is from you?" He simply nods before joining you, his weight nearly throwing you off. "I don't understand," you look up at him as he tucks a piece of your hair gently behind your ear. "Why didn't you want me to see it?" But he shrugs, before gesturing for you to open it.

As you begin to untie the bow on top, Thor holds in a breath. As much as he was desperate for you to open it, he was extremely nervous as well. A lot of thought had went into this, and he'd had to enlist the help of the majority of the team. It was a risky venture, but one he knew would mean a lot.

Lifting the lid off the box, you find a small card sitting on top, as per the gift earlier from Frigga, you're amazed at the elegant handwriting.

"To my dearest Kate, Something to remind you of who you are, and how much you mean to me. All my love, Thor."

Tears begin to well up in your eyes, and a slight flush of red rises in your cheeks. Looking up at him and smiling, Thor nervously sighs, as you start to peel back the tissue paper, revealing it's contents. Bringing a hand to your mouth in complete shock, as you look down and see what's inside: a cassette tape. "Is this..." You can barely speak. "You made me a mixtape?"

As Thor leans over, kissing the side of your head again, wrapping an arm around your waist. "I have to admit, I had some help." He lets out a small chuckle, resting his head against yours. "This is your past, present, and hopefully future." He wipes the tear running down your face, before placing a sweet kiss to your cheek. "My only wish is for you to listen to it now, but the young Spiderboy procured you a...what did he say now..." He struggles to find the words.

"It's....I'm..." You struggle to put into words what this means to you. The thought and the time that has went into making this just astounds you. Looking over at him, you can still the nerves running through his entire body. A sight you had not been used to seeing. "I can't even begin to thank you..."

"None needed," he kisses your cheek once again, taking your hand as you stare down at the tape again. "But please reserve any judgement until you hear what's on there." He smiles, making you laugh a little too. "I know how much music meant to you as a child, and I know how it was ripped from you by the events of that evening." His grip on your waist tightens as he pulls you a little closer. "It won't ever replace those memories, but maybe it will help with some new ones."

"I can't wait to listen to it," You smile, gently pressing your lips to his. Igniting the same flames that only minutes ago were coursing through you. You can see his eyes darken again, filled with complete desire as his eyes linger over your mouth.
