Thundershield: Hot Lifeguard

A/N: Lifeguard AU. Also including pre-serum Steve and some Sambucky.

Steve went with his friend, Bucky, to the beach. While there, Bucky somehow convinced him it was a good idea for the two of them to take a surfing lesson.

"Why are we doing this again?" Steve asked as he and his friend sat on their surf boards out in the ocean.

"Because, everyone loves a surfer, Stevie." Bucky replied, looking towards the beach with a grin.

Steve follows Bucky's eye line and saw that he was staring at a handsome black man with red and white swim shorts.

"Ohhh, I get it. You wanna impress that guy over there, huh?" Steve said folding his arms and raising an eyebrow.

"So what if I do?" Bucky replied.

"Just don't come crying to me when you almost drown after the first wave knocks you off your board." Steve chuckled, splashing some water onto Bucky.

"Oh, please, I'm a natural at everything I do." Bucky scoffed.

On the first wave, no one got knocked off their board, so that was good. After a few more waves, Bucky got a little too confident in his and Steve's ability to surf.

"Let's do that big one, Stevie!" Bucky said, already paddling toward it.

"Umm, sir, that one might be a bit too big for you as a beginner." the instructor called out to him.

"I'll go get him." Steve told the instructor.

Bucky handled the wave pretty well, but Steve's tiny butt was knocked off his board, the wave pushing him hard under the water. The wave was so strong that it also pushed Steve's surf board under the water, hitting Steve in the head. And then suddenly, Steve felt warm sand underneath his back as he coughed up a lungfull of saltwater.

"Are you alright there, fella?" a man with a blonde ponytail asked leaning over Steve.

The man was very handsome, he had muscles and pretty blue eyes, and a sexy accent. He could now feel a slight burn on his lips left by the mans beard when he gave him mouth-to-mouth.

"Hey, mate, are you okay?" the man, who was clearly a lifeguard, asked, worried when Steve didn't respond.

Steve nods, coughing a little more.

"Oh thank god!" Bucky sighed in relief, gathering his best friend into his arms.

"Buck! You're crushing me!" Steve groaned.

"You should probably take your little brother there to get checked out, he could develop respiratory issues, or get an infection from the filthy seawater." another lifeguard suggested.

"I'm only a year younger than him." Steve glared at the other (not as handsome) lifeguard.

"Are you well enough to walk? I could assist you to your car." the handsome lifeguard said softly, laying his hand on Steve's shoulder.

"I think I got--" Bucky began.

"Yeah, I think I'm still very woozy from it all." Steve cut him off.

"I think it'd be best if you carried me." he added.

"Steve, if that's the case, I could--" Bucky offered.

"Hey, Buck! Why don't you go ahead and take our stuff to the car!" Steve interrupted him, giving him a look.

Recognizing Steve's 'shut up and go along with it' look, Bucky grins and whispered 'good luck' to his friend before gathering their stuff up and leaving.

"Alright, up you go." the handsome lifeguard said, hooking one arm under Steve's knees and the other around his shoulders before lifting him off the ground.

"I-I'm Steve, by the way." Steve stammered, nervously, wrapping his arms around his rescuer's neck.

"Hello, Steve, I'm Thor." Thor replied.

Thor's smile made Steve blush, hiding his face in Thor's broad chest.

"So...uh, thanks for saving me." Steve said when they were halfway to Bucky's car.

"I was just doing my job." Thor said, shaking his head.

"But, thanks anyway." Steve said, tucking his head under Thor's chin.

"Then, you're very welcome." Thor chuckled, his soft laughter like rumbling thunder.

When they get to Bucky's car, Thor helps Steve into the passenger seat and buckles his seatbelt for him.

"I hope I'll see you again." Thor tells Steve.

"Yeah, me too. Under better circumstances of course." Steve agreed.

"Yes, perhaps say....at dinner, next week?" Thor replied smoothly.

This sudden request catches Steve off guard, causing his eyes to widen in shock. Next to him, Bucky has his jaw dropped.

"Then afterwards I could give you a proper kiss on those soft lips of yours." Thor said, holding Steve's chin and gently dragging his thumb across Steve's bottom lip.

"Duuude!" Bucky gasped, astonished.

"Would you like that?" Thor asked Steve, staring into Steve's light blue eyes with his dark blue ones.

Dumbfounded by Thor's boldness, Steve hesitates to respond. But with a little nudge, or rather an elbow to the ribs by Bucky, Steve nods vigorously.

"That's wonderful, now I need your number so I can plan our date." Thor smiled.

"Mhm, I just need something to write with." Steve replied.

Bucky's hand then juts out holding a waterproof Sharpie. Steve thanks his friend as he takes the marker from him. Next he gently holds the back of Thor's hand as he writes his number on the underside of Thor's wrist...with a tiny heart next to it.

"See you soon, love." Thor said with a wink, closing the car door.

Even when Thor was out of eye sight, Steve couldn't stop blushing.

"F**k, man, how is it that I signed us up for those lessons to impress the guy I like, but you're the one who ended up with a date with a hot lifeguard next week!?" Bucky exclaimed.

"Just lucky, I guess." Steve giggled, shrugging.

While Steve was at the doctor getting his lungs checked out, he received a text from Thor.
