Without the threat of going to the observatory the two slept longer than the day before. When they woke up Jane was lying completely on Thor's stomach, her head resting on his chest. The blanket had slipped down to her thighs and she was being covered merely by his arms. Thor was still on his beck, head turned to the side as he hugged her to his chest like a child would a stuffed animal. Jane lifted her head, brushing her hair back out of her face as she looked down at him. She smiled and then placed her chin over her stacked hands on his chest, watching in for a few moments before realizing how it seemed to just be laying there watching him sleep.

She laughed to herself, shaking her head and began to attempt to get up. The problem was Thor was strong, his arms were wrapped around her and it seemed that when he went to sleep there was no waking him. She sighed and after attempting a couple more times gave in that there was no sneaking out of this predicament.

"Thor." She said looking back at him.

"Thor, can you wake up?" She asked laughing, reaching up to touch his face. He reacted to her touch, his face scrunching up as his brow creased. She shifted as little as she could to be further over him,

"Thor, I can't get up until you let go of me." She told him.

"Will not let go of you, Jane Foster." Thor mumbled in his sleep.

"You need to, I need to get up." Jane laughed watching him, slowly she spotted a smile forming on his lips.

"No." He replied simply, still smiling, causing Jane to laugh.

"You're awake, now let me go!" She insisted, attempting to fight against his arms, he only squeezed her tighter and rolled over so she was on her side on the bed.

"Thor!" Jane called out, still laughing as the god covered his face in the crook of her neck. His arms wrapped completely around her, her feet kicking slightly as she laughed against his touch under her shirt on her back and the light tickling sensation of his beard brushing over her neck. All movement and laughter was stopped as soon as both heard the distinct noise of wood cracking and the whining of strained metal.

"Thor, up! Get up!" Jane said quickly, hitting his chest.

Thor let go of Jane, and rolled over, his feet hitting the ground hard as he stood up and then turned, grabbing Jane's hands and pulling her up beside him. He pulled her towards him and both turned to look down at the bed. Jane bit her lip, anticipation growing before she decided the bed would live and sighed.

"Okay, not so much movement on it." She told him with a nod, which he mirrored.

"Maybe we should just get ready..." She reasoned, letting go of him and making her way to the bathroom. Thor watched her until she disappeared into the room and then made his way to his bag to change.

The routine was becoming normal now; Jane in the bathroom first while Thor changed, and then they switched for Thor to use the bathroom and Jane to quickly change, and then switched once more for Jane to fix her hair and put on the small bit of makeup she wore. Both avoided using the bed to put their shoes on this time and soon they were out the door, Jane pulling her knit hat on as Thor took a turn trying to lock the door back. After scratching the lock a couple times he got it without breaking the key and proudly handed it back to her. By the time they reached the bus stop Jane's hand was in Thor's, they opted out of lacing fingers since it was a particularly cold day and both were in gloves (Thor's was taken off as soon as he sat down in his seat on the bus).

Jane had been to larger museums, but it was one of the bigger ones in the city. Scandinavian history had never really been a topic of interest to her, that was until Thor. It ended up being one of the first places she went to after SHIELD brought her to stay, she figured it would be amusing to see if there was anything about him in it; eventually the old paintings of him began to comfort her a bit. Having been there before Jane bypassed buying a museum guide, since Thor wouldn't have a use for it either, but she did drop a few coins from the bottom of her purse into the donation box as they passed.
