Heat and Heart

Hearts

Steve was getting more and more irritable after his heat, snapping at Tony and Thor every so often and refusing to do things with them at times. He had started disappearing every so often and would return later, refusing to disclose where he had been and even calls to Kayla and Bucky yielded no answers. Tony was sure it was because Steve had told them not to but Thor said they probably had no idea where he went, neither of them thinking to ask JARVIS.

"Steve, where did you go?" Tony corned Steve one morning, crossing his arms. "You always disappear and refuse to say where."

"Move, Tony." Steve grouched, attempting to go around the other Omega. He had a slightly bitter scent currently.

"No." Tony put his hands on Steve's cheeks, rubbing his cheekbones with his thumbs and pressing a gentle kiss to his Subordinate Omega's lips. "I want to spend time with you. So let me. Please."

"Fine." Steve wrapped his arms around Tony's torso, kissing him softly and allowing Tony to pull him to the nesting room. They undressed and curled up together under a large fur that smelled strongly like Thor, purring as they got comfortable. Steve buried his face in Tony's neck, breathing in Tony's scent mixed with Thor's and falling asleep rather quickly.

Tony took a bit longer, thinking about what could be causing Steve to need so much more sleep than normal. On average Steve usually only slept four hours a night but with all the naps he had been taking, it had been closer to nine hours. The genius ran through different scenarios, always coming back to one that made more sense to him.

He snuggled Steve more and closed his eyes, kissing the side of Steve's head and falling asleep. The mystery could wait until later after he had a nap.

~With Thor~

"Sir JARVIS, do you know where Steve has been going?" Thor was in the living room, looking at the ceiling. It had come to him in the middle of returning home to ask JARVIS.

"Captain Rogers has been going to his old floor with large comfortable items to the nesting room on his floor." JARVIS responded promptly.

"We have a nesting room up here though? Why would he be filling another?" Thor was confused at why they needed another nesting room set up.

"I believe Captain Rogers to be following his instincts, Lord Thor." JARVIS spoke. "He gets spooked if I attempt to speak to him on his old floor."

"Thank you, Sir JARVIS." Thor thanked him and went to the shared nesting room. He laid down near his two Omegas in just his boxers, cuddling them both to his chest and watching over them protectively as they slept for two hours. Tony woke first and carefully detangled himself from Steve, causing him to whine softly and roll over to bury his face against Thor. "Hello, Sweetheart."

"He agreed to spend some time with us." Tony whispered, looking sweaty and rumpled because Steve was very warm. "I need to go to the bathroom so I'll be back." He left the room.

Thor kissed the top of Steve's head, feeling how the Omega snuffled against his skin and took in his scent. "Love you, Steve. You are so perfect." He murmured in Steve’s ear.

Steve whimpered under his breath, burying his face against Thor's neck and throwing a leg over the Alpha's hip. He was comfortable as he laid in his Alpha's arms, slowly waking up the longer he laid there. He opened his eyes, yawning slightly and kissing the warm skin against his face.

"Are you awake now, Steve?" Thor asked softly, continuing to rub Steve’s back firmly in an effort to get the knots that tensed his muscles.

"Mmm." Steve hummed, opening his mouth and pressing his teeth to Thor's shoulder like he was going to bite but just holding it there. His jaw ached after a bit so he pulled his head away and closed his mouth, going back to laying with his face smushed against Thor's chest.

"Are you hungry?" Thor sounded amused and very fond, switching to trailing gentle fingers along Steve’s spine as the Omega pulled on him. Steve rolled onto his back, tugging at Thor until the God hovered over him but held his weight off of the Omega. Steve’s legs wrapped around Thor's hips and held onto him with his arms, being clingy now and wanting to feel Thor on top of him. "I love you."

"Love you too, Alpha." Steve smiled at Thor, purring softly as the Alpha let his body press lightly against Steve’s. It was warm and reassuring, reminding him that his Alpha was big and strong enough to protect him.

"Let's go eat." Thor shifted carefully, pushing himself up with one arm while the other was wrapped around Steve. He settled the Omega in his lap for a moment and kissed Steve on the lips gently for the first time in awhile, cupping the back of his neck. He stood, lifting Steve easily and carrying him to the kitchen where a large deer waited to be devoured by the super-soldier. He had fed Tony earlier so this one was all Steve’s. "Enjoy, my love."

Steve shot to the table and tore into the deer, suddenly starving like he hadn't eaten in a long time and moaning happily. It was satisfying the craving he had for red meat and the one that had wanted his Alpha to provide for them.

Thor sat a short distance away, watching protectively and guarding Steve while he ate. It was an Alpha thing to do, protect his Omega while his Omega was eating. His other Omega had left a note on the fridge saying he had been called into work.

"Steve, I'm having the hide made into a blanket. Would you like it?" Thor was testing his theory and blinked as Steve’s head shot up to look at him. The Omega nodded quickly, looking pleased to be asked. "I'll bring it to you when it's ready. You keep eating, My Omega."

Steve nodded and returned to his food, eating slightly slower but still making a decent pace through the deer. It was so good and definitely fresh, blood dripping down his chin. He made an obscene noise as he continued eating, not noticing his Alpha stiffen. Thor had gotten slightly aroused by the sight of his blood covered Omega and the sound Steve had made had increased his arousal.
