Thor sat in silence for over two hours, senses on higher alert as the elevator started their way. He knew it was most likely Steve.
"Captain Rogers is on his way." JARVIS announced quietly. It confirmed what he had thought.
Tony whined a bit in his sleep, clinging tighter to Thor and frowning until the Alpha stroked his hair and reassured him that he was there. The Omega settled at the affectionate tone and the petting.
The elevator opened and Steve came in, holding a bag of things he had gotten for Tony. "Thor?" Steve looked at the other Alpha in confusion
"Hello, Captain Rogers." Thor kept his voice low. "Tony is sleeping. So please keep your voice low."
"And why are you here? Touching my Omega?" Steve set the bag down carefully, looking like a wolf ready to get into a fight. He didn't like that the other Alpha so close to Tony nor how Thor was shirtless.
"I came to visit Friend Tony and found him quite upset about you leaving him." Thor kept his tone pleasant and conversational, smiling at the other blond Alpha. "He needed someone and I was here. I do not like it when my friends are upset."
"I had to go. I promised Sam and I've skipped for Tony more than once. It doesn't kill him to be alone." Steve moved closer to the pair. He was feeling very defensive. "He wants alone time, he's told me so."
"You should listen more to how he acts than what he says. He needed you to stay." Thor couldn't help the sound of anger running through his voice. "Do you know that he thinks you'll get bored and leave him?"
"I've told him I won't. What more can I do?" Steve ran a hand through his hair, sighing in frustration. He didn't know what he could possibly do to help get it through Tony's head.
"Prove it. Why haven't you bonded him yet?" Thor ran a finger close to the mating gland, seeing the other Alpha bare his teeth in a snarl.
"I was raised ta wait an' make it special." Steve's accent was thickening as he got more agitated. "Ta propose like we were gettin' married."
"Better do it soon or someone will take him." Thor kissed Tony's temple gently, soothing the Omega whose rest had been disturbed by the pheromones that were filled with aggression. "He is more than anyone could hope for."
"Keep your lips off him! Get away from my Omega!" Steve snatched Tony up and away from Thor, holding him tight as the Omega startled awake. "Shh, Sweetheart. Alpha's got you." He kissed Tony's pink lips.
"Left me." Tony turned his head away, frowning as he registered who was holding him. He was upset at the sight of the Alpha.
"I came back, Tony. I wasn't leaving forever. Just a few hours and now I'm home." Steve tried to appease his Omega, kissing his cheek. "I love ya, Sweetheart."
"You left me crying." Tony was getting more agitated, struggling free and standing between the two Alphas. "I cried and begged you not to leave."
"I can't spend every moment with you." Steve frowned slightly. "We need to interact separately from each other sometimes."
"Begged you not to. Needed you!" Tony ran a hand through his hair in agitation, scent turning bitter and sharp. "I think we should have a break and I should go until you learn how to listen."
"Tony!" Steve reached towards him desperately. "Please. I'll listen more."
"It's not the first time you've promised to listen to me more and failed. Until I know you won't just promise it and then not follow through, I can't be here. It's not fair to me." Tony frowned at Steve, moving closer to Thor who drew him into a gentle hug. The Asgardian truly had no intention of going after Tony unless the Omega completely ended things with Steve. He knew it had a chance to happen but also likely to not happen.
"Shall you go to Asgard, Tony?" Thor smiled at the Omega, seeing how Tony leaned into him. He thought that perhaps some space would do Tony some good.
"Yes, please." Tony felt Thor's arm move and suddenly the Alpha had a bag of Tony's things. "I'll be back when I hear from Natasha that you have gotten help."
He knew Natasha wouldn't lie to him about something like this. It was linked to his health and she worried over him. He trusted her in this and he sent a quick text to the spy who responded with confirmation that she would keep an eye on Steve for him.
"See you, Steve." Tony turned to face Thor and the god got Heimdall's attention, transporting them to Asgard. His last sight of Midgard was Steve's devastated expression.
